I went to see Prince in concert at the O2 in London last week. I didn't really want to go, he's not my thing but my wife wanted to see him so I went along for the ride. He is actually an extremely talented guitarist and pianist and he can sing too. Quite impressive but still not my thing. There was no mention of Jehovah or Witnesses but he did say something about following God and the bible.
A friend we went with, an ex witness related this story to me. - Prince came to the London Twickenham district assembly this year while staying in London for his concerts. He arrived in a powder blue suit with high heels and 2 bodyguards. He sat in 'Admin' which is the societies misleading title for the VIP section, the chairmans office where the bethel big wigs and zone overseers sit. I've been up there with my ex father in law the bethel doctor brother ............ There are comfy sofas, tea and coffee making and kitchen facilities, carpets and a huge glass window with great views. You can't enter without a pass. There are two brothers by the lift and by the door to stop the riff raff getting in. But how did Prince get access? It reminds me of the lesson that Jesus gave about giving priveleges to those with money or status. It seems that some in bethel are just as star struck as those they condemn in the world.
Isn't religion great.
