The Wayans brother were raised with a familiarity with Jehovah's Witnesses. Some of their family members are or were Jehovah's Witnesses. Damon Wayans was rumored to have studied with the witnesses back about the time he made the movie "Major Payne." As far as it seems at present, I am unaware of any of the Wayans brothers who actually became Jehovah's Witnesses.

No, once he left he had absolutely no interest in going back if he they wanted him to.

Yes. As of the 2007 service report for Jehovah's Witnesses there were right at 200 witnesses and 3 congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses in Gambia.

I have done a good deal of research on this, and I cannot find any evidence that she is a JW, nor can I find any mention of what her religion, if any, she claims. No she isn't one of Jehovah's Witnesses, have you heard part of her song Love Story it says "you were romeo and i was the scarlet letter" if she were one of Jehovah's Witnesses I can assure you that wouldn't be in her song because the scarlet letter is the symbol for adultery, but maybe she just didn't know what she was saying but still I'm pretty sure she isn't I did a little research and nothing showed up.

Jill Scott, ja rule, Michael Jackson, sherri shepherd, xzibit, Rodney king, president eisenhower, Michelle rodriguez, wayans brothers... mind you, some of these ppl are inactive and not completely disassociated with Jehovah's witnesses :).......or they were raised around witnesses

Prince Rogers Nelson (his real name, by the way), studied with Larry Graham (a former member of Sly and the Family Stone) who became a Jehovah's Witness about 30 years ago. Prince did this in honor of his promise to his dying mother, who herself was a Jehovah's Witness. Appearantly, what he learned motivated him to make some changes, because he made many adjustments in what he would and would not do on stage, including his wardrobe and song lyrics. Prince become a baptised Jehovah's Witness about 7 years ago. Whether he is still active in congregation at this time, I do not know.

Yes, Dave Mustaine is a born again Christian since he finished his final rehab treatment. He is also very open about his faith, during the End Game tour he mentioned that he prays after shows and refuses to write blasphemous material anymore.

Yes she was. She attended a Jehovah Witness Kingdom Hall while Biggie Small was young.

According to the worldwide report for 2006, there were a peak of 78,877 active JW's in South Africa. That is a ratio of one out of every 560 persons in South Africa is an active JW. Note: we only count those who are baptised as a JW and actively engaged in the witnessing work as being of that number. Others who are passively associated with JW's, those who may have become inactive in the faith, unbaptised persons who are studying with JW's, or children who are not old enough to have personally accepted the faith, are not counted.

Actually, patriotic songs express the same fundamental ideas that are embodied in the pledge of allegiance to the flag. And since there is no Scriptural basis for the nationalistic pride that has so divided our world, we do not join in singing songs that extol any earthly nation.-Acts 17:26; John 17:15, 16. -- Watchtower Bible & Tract Society

Jehovah's Witnesses give our allegeance to Jehovah God and his Kingdom Government, over which he has appointed his Son Jesus Christ to rule as King. (Isaiah 9:6, 7; Matthew 6:9, 10). We are a global community serving as Ambassadors or Envoys for that Kingdom, therefore we choose not to participate in divisive nationalistic practices such as singing a national anthem of any nation.

Michael decided to leave the religion for his own reasons, which were never made public.

Yes, he continues to be on of Jehovah's Witnesses up till this very day

Some in the world deny that the holocaust even happened. Jehovah's Witnesses recognize that the holocaust happened, in fact, many of Jehovah's Witnesses were murdered at the hands of the Nazis in concentration camps. There is an entire section of the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC dedicated to Jehovah's Witnesses. The website address for that is : http://www.ushmm.org/education/resource/jehovahs/jehovahsw.php Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Nazi Holocaust and all the other genocides that have occurred are all prt of the composite sign that Jesus gave in Matthew chapter 24, Luke chapter 21, and Mark chapter 13, that indicate that we are living in the "last days" of this present system of things. Jehovah's Witnesses have been able to face, even death, because of the hope that we have that soon this present rulership will be done away with, and God's Kingdom with Jesus Christ as king will rule and even those who have died will be ressurrected to paradise on earth. See the article "Jehovah's Witnesses, Courageous in the Face of Nazi Peril": http://www.watchtower.org/e/19980708/article_01.htm == As one of Jehovah's Witnesses and can say that the Holocaust definitely happened and it was an extreme test of fait to be taken away from their homes and put in concentration camps but many were able to endure and survive. Those who died will have the chance to be resurrected and live forever in a paradise earth because they died faithful to Jehovah. Another test of faith was when they were tempted to deny Jehovah and offered relief by doing so.

Yes, we will not go to war or even assist war effort in any way. Many witnesses have been given sentences in prison due to being conscientious objectors. However, we believe that there was no footnote when God decided "Thou Shall not kill"

According to the United States Holocaust Museum, Jehovah's Witnesses were targeted for persecution because of their religious convictions. They refused to swear loyalty to the Nazi regime or perform the Heil Hitler salute, and refused to serve in the military.

Jehovah's Witnesses could escape their persecution by changing their stand and going along with the regime.

However, most Jehovah's Witnesses did not renounce their faith and ultimately around 10,000 were persecuted, some were tortured and an estimated 2,500 to 5,000 died or were killed in the concentration camps.

According to the AWAKE Magazine Jan 8th, 2002 p. 11 "...at least 14 Witnesses, who happened to be at or near the scene of the tragedy", died during the terrorist attacks of September 11. This number includes Captain James Amato, battalion chief and George DiPasquale, both firefighters in the New York fire department.

The bible states that we are dust. We return to the ground (grave) to dust and are "sleeping". We "sleep" until Jehovah awakes the righteous and unrighteous ones in the resurrection. Only a selected few (144,000) will go to heaven and rule with Jesus. The others will live on earth in a paradise was Jehovah originally purposed.
