BACK IN THE 50'S THERE WAS A WORLD WELTERWEIGHT FIGHTER FROM CUBA NAMED 'KID GAVILIN' THAT BECAME ONE OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.
Hey, I saw that guy beat the crap out of some other guy on ESPN Classics a couple of nights ago, was that what inspired this thread?
HI DAN,
NO, I DIDN'T SEE THAT CLASSIC, BUT I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO. I HAVE AN OLD NEWSPAPER CLIPPING WITH A PICTURE THAT TOLD ABOUT HIM BECOMMING A JW. HE WAS THE 'CHAMPION' FOR QUITE AWHILE. BUT NO MATTER, ........HOW SOON PEOPLE FORGET, OR NEVER HEARD OF YOU, FAMOUS OR NOT.

Roy Harper kinda surprised me.
They left out Sam Perkins, longtime NBA "star".. played for something like 16 years.
I hear Venus and Serena are going to be starting their own "Reality" show. Wonder how much JWs will be mentioned. I think there are a lot more than aren't on that list but it's late and I am beat.
Fighter Paulie Malignaggi was brought up a JW in northern Jersey/Brooklyn

George Benson was on Will and Grace?
Tom Reynolds... of Hamilton Joe Frank & Reynolds... lives in central Florida now. I'm not sure which congregation.. Met him in the 80s..

I was getting a pedicure today and reading an old (October 2004) US (or Star) magazine. Inside was an article, with pictures, of a party in Los Angeles, where Prince attended, promoting "get out the vote". That was kind of surprising.

You mean the singer George Benson, or Robert Guillame, who played Benson in the show of the same name in the early 80s? Cause, yeah, the first one is a Witness, but I don't think that the other was ever a Witness. laters kaykay_mp
I have met Damon Wayans on many occassions and asked him directly about his connection to the JWs. He does NOT consider himself a Jehovah's Witness, and was never baptized.
