It’s very sad, and I feel horrible that he had to endure their gross bs for so many years - even if he was probably granted more liberties than their ordinary congregation. The association with Bell, led two years later to a recording of her song, Stop, Look and Listen, by The Stylistics, a Philadelphia group whose records were. He came off as so enlightened, yet simultaneously crippled by a cult who must have been holding him hostage in some way. There are reports of him still witnessing to certain people and saying he was with them, but he was also using very psychedelic imagery - “third eye girl” and the glasses he wore. My other theory is that by the end of his career, he wasn’t as completely sure about being with them. loop by DABOYWA, Write Your Name by G Herbo, Stay the Night by Mariah Carey, Trap Trap Trap by Larry. If you were born in the 70s, you might not remember this song. My theory is that once they lost Michael (who seemed to go through a self discovery period and get more progressive and more into Chopra and overall Jungian philosophy) they went straight after Prince - the same way Scientology would go after various celebrities, rounding up new ones and slandering old ones they’d lose. The album, Betcha By Golly Wow: The Songs of Thom Bell, has a collection of great oldies written by Bell and late lyricist Linda Creed. How disgusting is that? You’ll find them if you search “Prince Jehovahs Witnesses” on YouTube.īut yeah, it’s sad. But once he had been propagated and enlisted by the JW - who, let’s be real, are an outright dangerous abusive cult (and we know this to be on a systematic level) that activation he had seemed to be superseded by the cult mind control.Īnd it’s sad too, because after he died, videos started popping up from JW leaders leading religious lectures on why Prince “definitely went to hell” because he was such a bad JW. It seems like the artists who are religious, who exceed their peers and become legends of their craft, seem to make such incredibly art because they are ACTIVATED, not because they’re religious.

I’m anti-Religious myself, but I am spiritual in a psychedelic type of way. And to be fair, he had been a Christian for a long time, and it seemed to have a good influence on his output.
