Get Hip, Prince. Or Perhaps Two

Jun 9, 2009 Author: Admin | Filed under: Latest Gossip

Back in 2005, it was reported the pop icon Prince was in desperate need of hip replacement surgery. He has yet to have the procedure, as the artist is a Jehovah’s Witness and – per reports – according to the religion, blood transfusions are not acceptable.

But that’s a surgery? That’s not okay?

Though there was talk of a “secret surgery” to fix the problem, Prince has been seen walking with cane and there are now reports that the injury has intensified.

Now he has two injured hips!

Oy vey!

Since he has supposedly opted not to have surgery, he practically lives on pain killers to deal with the condition.

A source reveals that: “He’s popping pain killers and hoping it will all go away.”

Wishful thinking friend.

Hope he learns how to play a guitar from the wheelchair he is bound to take residence in!

As a JW with two prosthetic hips, Prince needs a new Doctor. You can easily get this surgery using a Cell Saver machine which does not require blood transfusions.

Prince refusing a blood transfusion for himself is one thing, but as a JW he would also refuse such for his dying child.

The following website summarizes over 900 court cases and lawsuits affecting children of Jehovah’s Witness Parents, including over 400 cases where the JW Parents refused to consent to life-saving blood transfusions for their dying children:

Prince, your body is the temple, so since it houses your spirit and soul and where god dwells, then it is your duty to mentain it. So if it needs fixing, you don’t want god visiting your brokendown temple. FIX IT!!!!
