Not a fan of Peter Andre but happened to see his book (Biography) on the shelf in Tesco. I had heard in the past that he had been brought-up as a JW, So had a nose through to see if he had anything to say. He mentions that he celebrated Christmas for the first time 2 years ago with Katie Price. He then went on to say what good values the Witnesses have, and that he has nothing but praise for them. Anyone agree with him??thought not

Interesting. Does it say when/why he stopped going? Why did he only start Christmas recently if he left long before that? My guess is that the ghost writer thought it would make for interesting reading to say that he never had a Christmas until recently...
Geri Halliwell has nothing but scorn for her Witness upbringing.
There seem to be a lot of former Witness singers about. Why is that?

I think he must have his head buried in the sand, or in something else!

I never knew he was involved with the witnesses - so are his parents still JWs?

Didn?t get a chance to read much but yes I think his parents are still witnesses.

Some friends of mine who are still jws actually grew up with Peter. They were Greek Cypriot like him too.
I think his parents are still in, but I'm not 100%. Perhaps that's why he has so much praise for the jws. -

I found this just now:
Peter Andre will be signing copies of his new book "All About Us - My Story" in John Lewis at 6pm. In this intimate and insightful autobiography, Peter reveals the highs and lows of his music career and includes revelations about his life before Katie (aka Jordan) and growing up in Australia in a family with devout Jehovah's Witness values. Peter also reflects on life married to Britain's hottest celebrity and what it is like caring for her sick child, Harvey, and how together they celebrated the arrival of their first son, Junior.
He is also on wikipedia's list of famous former jws.

I wish all celebrities who were once JWs would give the cult a real thrashing in public. Such people are looked up to by many, youths especially, and they could do us all real a favour!

The JWs have some values the price they have to pay for being JWs is a very heavy one, there are mainstream groups out there that offer moral values and a natural environment without psychological pressures and extremisms.
