"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 ?

Really? I wonder if he too was conflicted, and disturbed by elements of JW.org.
Did Prince hear about the ARC? Did he too watch the live testimonies from the leadership?
I wonder, did Prince feel comforted and at peace with the direction of the organisation? Did his heart thrill to listen to the manipulative phraseology of the G.O.D.? Was he like many, disturbed and hurt?
How does anyone know what was really in his heart....? Certainly, the 'spokesman' for the church wouldn't truly know - or would they?
I hope he found peace and joy with hope for the universe.
RIP Prince.
One the upside of all this publicity of his death is...it gives us a major platform to comment on the practices of jws. Every comment made over the internet on this very sad news story is an opportunity to expose this ponzi scheme cult!
