actually on the johnny carson thing i think one of his sisters or cousins or something is a wittness, funny thing i remember one of johhnys jokes about JWs he was giving a graduation address and said something to the effect
Remember this as you head out into life: Oppurtunity only Knocks once, therefore oppurtunity would make a bad Jehovahs Wittness
it was funnier when he said it but nonetheless it was cool
in my jw community we didn;t listen to JD music but we had our own rumor as well it was about earth wind and fire
they too were suppose to ask all jw to leave their shows as well, it was never true-it wqas always told by a CO or well known elder during a talk.
Yeah JT,
That rumor was real big here in western PA at that time. I think it was something about an illusion they used as a gimmick on stage. They supposedly said that it didn't work if JW's were in the audience.
Guess the demonz wouldn't work their magic if us Godly people were there!
He had a great and distinctive voice. There was another thread on this a few years back where bascially the JW-myth was determined to be bull.
But any religion that thinks being persecuted means they are right will clap with joy whenever they have another example of 'god's approval', even if it is bollocks.
I heard the rumours as well, when I was a kid. My understanding at the time was Denver was very patriotic, and being witnesses are not, that was his reason for not liking them.
Who knows what he did or didn't think. He was much more about peace than anything else.
I did go to his last concert tour, very enjoyable, and the witnesses were never brought up in any way shape or form. And he had 2 1/2 hours to do so if he really wanted to.
