Dennis Rodman a Former Jehovah's Witness?...

Tuesday

I just came across something saying that one of his adopted parents was a JW and he was raised one as well.

There's something about ex-JWs that just go against the flow of what's expected of them. There's the Wayans, LaToya Jackson, Patti Smith, Xzibit.

I also read that Dwight D. Eisenhauer left, but not only left openly spoke out against it's teachings. Can anyone verify this? I think that would be offiicially the highest an apostate has gotten, President of the United States. I don't think any other apostate could top him ever, I mean unless they become omnipotent ruler of the universe or something.

Can anyone confirm Dennis Rodman being a former JW and can anyone confirm Eisenhauer spoke out against the teachings?

This page has Eisenhower but not Rodman.

Back in 1955, when Dwight Eisenhower had become Graham's first real friend in the White House, he used to press the evangelist on how people can really know if they are going to heaven. "I didn't feel that I could answer his question as well as others could have," Graham told us.

That sounds to me, like Dwight might have believed at least one Watchtower doctrine.

Eisenhower's mom was a bible student, his father was not, if I remember correctly. I don't remember hearing that he ever spoke against the Witnesses and I'd be surprised to learn that he did.

I have heard that Rodman had a mom or grandma who was a Witness. I think it's a safe bet that he never got baptised.

I quit!

That could explain some of his weird behavior. I saw him in a parking lot in Santa Ana talking on his cell phone near a Starbucks I go to a few years ago. I wish I would have heard about this back then. If I ever see him again you can bet I'll take the time to ask him if it's true and invite him here for some healing.

Dwight Eisenhower's brother was the branch overseer in Argentina long ago as far as I can remember from a conversation that I held with the branch overseer in Spain (John H. Kurtz) in the 90's.

Probably someone else could confirm this as I'm not 100% sure of it.

Former President Dwight Eisenhower had six brothers, Edgar, Earl, Milton, Arthur, Roy, and Paul. Paul died in infancy. See Mandate For Change by Dwight D. Eisenhower, page 32. None of the Eisenhower brothers adopted their mother's religion. The Eisenhower who was Branch servant in Artentina was no relation, or at best a distant relative.
