prince makes it into the rock n roll hall of fame! he will be inducted monday. i love prince. but i find his conversion to jehovah's witnesses a little depressing. i remember hearing the talk/rumors of him studying with larry graham of sly and the family stone.
funny side story, i remember reading the watchtower article about larry graham's conversion one sunday morning during the watchtower study when i should have been paying attention the the study and not reading the other articles in the mag. hey, at least i was reading watchtower approved material!
anyway, back to prince. i also saw him at my parent's church once for the memorial. how exciting. what gets me is he's joined a religion that stifles everything his music once was! his music i can tell you was not approved for good j-dubs (Jehovah's Witnesses=JW=J-Dub, get it?) i just hope he wakes up and realizes what a stifling religion he joined. the jehovah's witnesses are not only stifling but sexist and cultish. definately the most repressive group situation i've ever been involved in (probably why i'm prone to avoiding organized groups, i've got no stomach for it.)
anyway, congrats to prince for making it into the rock n roll hall of fame.
here is a better non-watchtower approved link describing the main beliefs and tennets of the JW religion.
