Is this how Prince proselytizes?

  Just because an entertainer is a JW doesn't him a bad entertainer........ in fact, it would be nice to be able to hear some good music and not be afraid to take a teen ager.

  I heard that he changed his name to the Watchtower logo (you know - the graphic outline of a watch tower), and is now known only as "The Brother formerly known as prince".

  I think Prince needs to tone it down even more.
  I feel that his concerts would be a bit
  more uplifting if he incorporated a few
  Kingdom Melodies into his sets.

  Also, I have never seen a brother in good standing
  do his hair like that. Time to go back to the
  "natural", Brother Prince.

  Prince might be the most prolific proselytizer ever.

  If Prince has produces an album where all the tracks are preaching the JW dogma, he could count the time.

  Say the album is 45mins long, it's a big hit and goes Platinum. That 45mins times 1,000,000 which is 750,000 hours, not to mention air play on the singles, interviews etc which he could also count. He could have over 1,000,00 hours in field service, without having to knock one door and all to a funky beat.

  Together with the contributions he must be giving, because he ain't the most wholesome figure in the celebrity world is he? Why would a fundamentalist Christian cult want a guy in their ranks who wrote such classics as "Darling Nikki"??? - if not for money.

  They might put a Prince slant on some Bible stories to sell a few more CDs - how about the story of the flood. "...and it Purple Rained for 40 days and 40 nights.........."

  Millions now living

  Armageddon's cummin',
  Satan's going down,
  Invisible Jesus
  Wears a big f*ckin' crown

  Now, if Prince were ever to leave the witnesses, or get df'd, then best friend Larry Graham could not have anything to do with him, or else he would get the boot too.

  Something tells me that Graham would always stay in touch anyways.

  He's not too far from that. Check out the lyrics for his album "The Rainbow Children" http://www.prince3922.freeserve.co.uk/rainbow.html

  Here's some that I'm highlighting:

  Devil, devil what u know?/U been here since 1914, but now u got 2 go
  U been hidin' behind corporate eyes
  U wanna war, but u can't fight/Devil, u got 2 go

  And all the Rainbow Children/Will stand and fight
  4 everlasting, everlasting life/4 the one who sits on the right
  4 Him we're willing to do the work

  We were always meant 2 b/In paradise eternally
  B4 the truth I did not care/Now I feel it Everywhere

  There's a theocratic order./There's a theocratic order now

  In other words, ONE CANNOT SERVE 2 MASTERS. U r either "this" or "that"
  which is not "this".

  ....and to top it all off....

  I could write another 300 melodies

  Prince-Let's Go Crazy

  Dearly beloved
  We are gathered here today
  2 get through this thing called life
  Electric word life
  It means forever and that's a mighty long time
  But I'm here 2 tell u
  There's something else
  The afterworld
  
  A world of never ending happiness
  U can always see the sun, day or night
  
  So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
  U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
  Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
  Ask him how much of your mind, baby
  
  'Cuz in this life
  Things are much harder than in the afterworld
  In this life
  You're on your own
  
  And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
  Go crazy - punch a higher floor
  
  If u don't like the world you're living in
  Take a look around u
  At least u got friends
  
  U see I called my old lady
  4 a friendly word
  She picked up the phone
  Dropped it on the floor
  (Sex, sex) is all I heard
  
  Are we gonna let de-elevator
  Bring us down
  Oh, no Let's Go!
  
  Let's go crazy
  Let's get nuts
  Let's look 4 the purple banana
  'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
  
  We're all excited
  But we don't know why
  Maybe it's cuz
  We're all gonna die
  
  And when we do (When we do)
  What's it all 4 (What's it all 4)
  U better live now
  Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
  
  Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
  Oh, no let's go!
  
  Let's go crazy
  Let's get nuts
  Look 4 the purple banana
  'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
  
  C'mon baby
  Let's get nuts
  Yeah
  Crazy
  
  Let's go crazy
  
  Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
  Oh, no let's go!
  Go crazy
  
  I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
  Let's go, let's go
  Go
  Let's go
  
  Dr. Everything'll be alright
  Will make everything go wrong
  Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill
  Hang tough children
  
  He's coming
  He's coming
  Coming
  
  Take me away!
