    I heard that, early on in Prince's studying with JWs, Larry Graham told him he needed to be baptized in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. So he took him to a body of water and Prince was there dunked--even though it was an icy cold March morning. Afterward Larry told the shivering Purple One, "Sorry. That wasn't Lake Minnetonka!"

    Just kidding... But it would have been a nice payback for his doing the same thing to Apollonia! (The above was taken from a scene in Prince's motion picture, "Purple Rain.") Sorry, I'm tired and getting punchy...

    Questions are swirling this Christmas Eve as to why pop-star Michael Jackson flew here after midnight ending a six-month exile in the Mid East and Michael Flatley's Irish castle. Is felllow Jehovah Witness, Prince involved in helping Michael re-launch his career while he's on a break from his 3121 Club gig at the Rio starting after New Years Eve? Prince leaves for three-months for a tour that begins after his Super Bowl appearance in mid-January.

    Bring honor to the person, I guess JWs don't celebrate wedding anniversaries, give baby or wedding showers? The thing to remember if you are trying to make a point with a JW who is in, that the honor point is a minor point, secondary in regard to birthdays. We all know what the major points are that JWs use.

    Of course the WTS is a major hypocrite, but I wouldn't use this point to prove it with a JW.

    On a general point this habit of thanking god for awards, sporting achievements etc seems to be real American affliction recently. It really gets on my bloody nerves
    I'm sure the founding fathers of the US like Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Paine would turn in their graves at the thought of US citizens enjoying the freedoms they inaugorated slipping out of the enlightenment into unthinking religiosity and vaingloriously invoking god as reasons for their success and thereby damning their fellow contestants to be lesser people and unworthy of the godly help they received.

    I value a speech like that at about ten thousand JWD posts for the amount of anti-witnessing it does!

    What I want to know is, did Prince get a scriptual divorce from his wjfe?

    If so, who cheated?

    Unless the normal rules don't apply to the rich.
