  "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.

  Is this a first for the WT, to make such a comment on a worldly celebrity ? Have they ever done it for anybody else?

  OK , M.J. became an apostate converting to Islam before he died , and still was given a J.W. funeral at a Kingdom Hall ? Is that true ?

  I don`t think the organization ever publicly acknowledged that M.J. ever was a Jehovah`s Witness , true ?

  So if this "People" article is correct it seems a shift in policy. What`s next !

  Sports stars , movie stars , are now going to be acknowledged as J.W.`s in good standing ?

  In the 1960`s they also had a test paper you had to fill out every month on what you had learned in that month in the Ministry school , that was marked on how many questions you got right by the school overseer.

  The chart measured how the congregation was performing against the national average if I remember correctly.

  They also had breaks between the ministry school /service meeting and also the public talk / watchtower study.

  If it is borne out that he died of an overdose of drugs as has been suggested , shouldn`t that detract from him being a faithful Jehovah`s Witness ?

  Prince will Be Resurrected

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm sure prince has already been talked about to death on this site, but a jw family member just liked a video posted by a jw group on facebook that is an interview of prince about his conversion to jw.

  it's the comments made by jws that this post is about.. prince was a great artist!

  and the world has lost a musical genius in my opinion, but he lost me after he converted.

  Apparently Prince died of an overdose , does he still get a resurrection even though he knew the "truth" ?

  Today the two elders did not appear to declare at prosecutor's citation

  today the two elders who stalked my sister were absent at the prosecutor's citation.

  they were waited for 1 hour, but they did not come.

  this attitude favors their culpability.

  Hubby got asked the loyalty questions

  2. friends

  after hubby skipped out on the memorial his parents and close friends started getting more assertive with him.

  before they took on the role of the concerned let me rescue you from your apostate wife's clutches.

  it's 100% my fault he stopped being a witness according to the inlaws.

  It just goes to show you how shallow the faith of J.W.`s are .

  That they can`t defend their faith against someone who questions it.

  And apparently , Satan is having far greater success in turning people away from Jehovah than the Almighty is of keeping them faithful .
