An elder from my old congregation claimed to have studied with Burt Reynolds. Another elder I knew studied with Dave Mustane from Megadeath. I heard Van Morrison say he went to meetings as a kid.

Stand up comic Eddie Griffin was most likely raised as a JW. He mentions it in his act when he talks about his Grandfather giving him a present on his birthday because he knows that nobody else is giving him anything because he is a JW.

My mom told me when I was 8 or 10 that Ozzie and Harriett Nelson were JW's and so were the kids.
In the 60's the drummer for Baja Marimba Band came to our hall. He died the next year during ear surgury from a heart attack.
Rumor had it that Neil Diamond did his "last" concert tour in '74 was because he had studied and was waiting for Armageddon. My parents wouldn't let me go to that concert because they were sure he was going to expose himself as Morrison had just done.... Yeah, right.

Well I know that one wasn't true. We went to one of his concerts about 1978, at Christmas time, and he did Christmas songs and everyone lit their lighters to make it look like Christmas lights. Anyway, he's Jewish.
Obviously the Nelsons were not JW's.

At the height of his touring popularity, Diamond announced a sabbatical from the stage to devote more time to his family, but in 1976, he resumed performing with record-breaking tours of Australia and New Zealand
