  Prince, now Jehovah's Witness, swears off cursing

  May 28, 2001 Posted: 8:38 AM EDT (1238 GMT)

  NEW YORK (AP) -- A G-rated Prince?

  It may be hard to believe, but the singer who once provoked shock waves with
  his X-rated lyrics has sworn off cursing and is preaching about the importance
  of virtue in the May edition of Gotham magazine.

  Prince, who is now a Jehovah's Witness, said that "when you use those (curse)
  words, you call up all the anger, all the negatives times the word has been used
  before -- you bring it toward yourself. Why would you want that?"

  Prince also told the magazine that teens need more God in their lives.

  "When I look at the violence, I wonder where the parents are, but also where is
  God in their lives? A kid is an open computer ready for programming. Some
  weird relationships happen, smoking too early and sex."

  Jehovah's Witnesses are an apocalyptic group that interprets the Bible differently
  than traditional Christian organizations.

  Either Prince has already had his thinking dulled by his studies, or he was always a fuzzy thinker:

  "...when you use those (curse) words, you call up all the anger, all the negatives times the word has been used before -- you bring it toward yourself. Why would you want that?"

  Nonsense. A word is a word, and has no more meaning attached to it than any other word, unless you, yourself, attach that meaning. Does a person who doesn't know English, if told to say an English curse word, call up anger in him- or herself? Of course not. It's only a string of letters that carry no meaning.

  "Prince also told the magazine that teens need more God in their lives. "When I look at the violence, I wonder where the parents are, but also where is God in their lives?"

  A child does not need God in their lives to know that violence is wrong. A child needs instruction from their parents about morality, but that has nothing to do with God unless that is the form of morality that the parent chooses. Many humanists rear peaceful children without the influence of the idea of God.

  Black-and-white thinking. Way to go, Prince! You're just about ready to accept the Creation book now!
