Prince suicide theory

"I would die for you" is then the next song he plays?

Sure you're a huge fan.


And Prince was a one of a kind talent, no doubt.

I frankly don't give a shite

He said save your prayers, not tears. Jeez.

Stuff I gave read claims he was never out of high heels, even at home, to make him look taller. He was 5'2". It took a toll on his hips and an ankle. He put off surgery because he was JW and didnt want a blood trqnsfusion, and was in constant pain.

never knew that...interesting

What pain?

Had had hip surgeries.

TMZ reports Percocets (TMZ gets everything right these days, especially big stories) made them land the plane. He got a "shot" by EMS at airport (Narcan?) and later signed out of the hospital he was brought to.

Will be an interesting but drawn out autopsy. Toxicology will take weeks to get right, and with this dude they will want it right. Privacy is out the window when dead i believe. HIPPA does not apply to dead folk.

Died like Elvis. Reclusive dude with an inner circle of yes men who made sure he stayed loaded so the party kept rolling.

I own 2 guitars but suck. If I start taking percocets will I at least be able to play rhythm?

"He just said, 'Save your prayers for a couple of days. I'm OK. I'm here, thank you. I appreciate it'.


Gaston, you are right....prayers, not tears, but it has the same connotation.....

So a faithful Jehovah's Witness would rule out a blood transfusion,but suicide would be OK?

Now I know why my dog doesn't like them.

Never be able to say suicide over accidental overdose unless he left a note or took the whole bottle.

The question must be asked: Why do Jehovah Witness members commit suicide at a rate far exceeding the general population? There are many contributing factors to Watchtower society suicide.

Jehovah Witness society members must devote a large portion of their life to serving the organization. Many members feel that if the society is wrong then they would prefer death to life. The massive investment must not have been in vain. After spending a long time in the organization many feel they have missed out on the things that make life interesting and special. Long time Witnesses have given up friends, family, holidays, education and a normal sex life. Facing what they have done with their lives is hard, suicide is easy. A quick pain then paradise in the cleansed world. Why not do it? If the organization is wrong, the member reason, then suicide is preferable to facing what he has done with his life. If they are picked the correct faith they will live forever on the new cleansed earth.

To a dedicated Jehovah Witness there is no heaven and no hell. There is only an upside to suicide; life in a perfect cleansed world. Witnesses see no downside to suicide. To a Withness having droughts about his faith, suicide makes perfect sense. He may reason: “If this organization is a scam I would rather be dead then live because I have already invested years of my life; if it is the true religion I will be raised from the dead and live in a perfect world”. Suicide for the long time member has a large upside but no down side.

The more I read the more sense it all makes....but Auggie, you are right. No blood transfusion, but suicide OK, kind of backwards.....
