"we are saddened to hear about the death of prince rogers nelson, who was baptized as one of jehovah’s witnesses in 2003," the church said in a statement obtained by people.
the church said that prince "found fulfillment as a witness and in sharing his faith with others.

OMG I can't believe they acknowledged him at all. Obviously they do have a publicist--cartoons, a website, dancing and signs at the conventions--their publicist is normalizing them. This is dangerous, folks. Normalizing something makes it grow.
I wonder if, when his cause of death is released, they will regret claiming him.
i just saw where the emergency landing that prince made several days ago in moline was due to an opiate overdose.
this came from tmz and sounded pretty credible.
if true, just curious if he would still be given a jw funeral, if that is what he wanted..
TMZ is speculating.
There many rumors about how he died--OD, AIDS, pneumonia, flu, taking Tamiflu, getting the flu vaccine (insert mega eyeroll here--love the anti-science conspiracy theorists who disregard the need for any evidence at all).
has anyone heard about this?
that really sucks.
lots of dubs are talking.
Does HIPA still apply if your dead?
Yes. It is one of many laws protecting privacy.
If there is information about AIDS, HIV testing, genetics, substance abuse or mental health, then even more laws come into play.
If TMZ obtained info from a healthcare provider, that individual will probably go to prison on federal charges, lose her license, and get sued.
But it is perfectly legal for people not subject to HIPAA (friends, for example) to disclose anything they want.
...what would they be?
i booked a double appointment so that she wouldn't be rushed.
i explained that i'd been brought up in the jw's and woken up to what a load of shite it was.
i explained that they have changed the blood card and that the elders in the cong are being told to effectively force people into signing it.
Is there any way people could appear to be complying with the borganization's edict to sign it, but really not? Like signing it the wrong way, or having a trusted friend sign your signature and be a witness to the fact that you did not sign it? And have a letter on file in your home stating you did not sign it and were only presenting the pretend document to get the cult off your back? Sign it "Scooby Doo"?
I personally would be very worried that somehow the no blood card would get enforced.
