If Prince Knocked At My Door. . .

[brother vinny]

I have to admit it: I have a little bit of a phobia about JW's. Maybe it's because of some of the JW teenaged children who I went to high school with, who seemed to live such joyless lives. Maybe it's the marked persistence of the Watchtower's missionaries-- one forcefully (but friendly-like) approached me on the street during my time in Elkhart, Indiana, to give me issues of Awake, and something about the encounter just gave me the willies.

Having said that, if Prince were to knock on my door on behalf of the Watchtower, I'd let him in.

Prince Rogers Nelson, if you're reading this, I'd let you in to my home to discuss religion and my eternal destiny and what-not. I'd probably be star-struck for the first five minutes or so, but that's to be expected. After all, you're the Purple One, His Royal Badness. But I'm a mature adult, and I realize that five minutes of star-struckedness should be all I'm allowed.

After those five minutes are up, I am willing to sit and listen to whatever you have to say about the Christian Diety, about the method used to execute Jesus Christ, about His pre-incarnate identity, and so forth, holding my questions until the end. And then, when it comes time to ask questions, you can be assured that they will be well-thought-out, engaging questions.

Prince, if you read this and decide to take me up on the offer, I'll be living in Sand Springs, Oklahoma after September 17th. It'd be best to show up on a Tuesday or Saturday after 5pm, as both of these are my days off.

Of course, I'd hear him out about that, too.

Just a thought what would be the most important question you would ask?

Actually, my theological questions would be formed while he was making his presentation. My knowledge of the JW's is admittedly sketchy, so I really don't know what the first question to ask should be.

As it stands, my first question to Prince would be, "So, how do you like the Sand Springs area, so far?" Or maybe, "How has your theological outlook changed since the since the album Lovesexy (one that, despite the album cover, had some of the most overt religious overtones)?"

If you would like to fill in some of your sketchy ideas with some details please feel free to ask me or Non Trin.
