    The Librarian reacted to The Librarian in Prince's Funeral (Memorial Service)   
    Memorial service Saturday in Chanhassen, Minnesota

    As we learn of more details we can update this post.
    Not sure if they will use his Kingdom Hall or not yet:


    Prince Cremated In Secret: No Extravagant Funeral Service For The Public
    Prince cremated in secret – by the time Prince’s body was released after autopsy, a limited number of family and friends, as well as some musicians were present by the time he was cremated. No extravagant funeral service for the public will be made, for this is what Prince wanted in the first place.
    Stuff reports that his body was cremated in the presence of his sister Tyka, his nephew and another family member at First Memorial Western Chapel in Minnesota. Tyka is most likely the person to inherit Prince’s $800 million fortune, since no other family member may possibly claim his wealth.
    Being a Jehovah’s Witnessmember, Prince already stated before that by any chance he dies, he doesn’t want an extravagant funeral service. A family friend told The Mirror that even before, Prince made it clear that by any chance he dies, he wanted his death not to be held in a large service.
    “He wanted it to be kept to the minimum of fuss. Prince was such figure you don’t need a funeral to remember him by. The world has his music instead. He wanted to simply disappear with no fuss, no drama, no fanfare. It was just his style. It could not have been more different to Michael Jackson’s service that was full of Hollywood razzmatazz.”
    The legendary Michael Jackson was said to be once a Jehovah’s Witnesses, but was believed to be disfellowshipped from the religion because of conducts that is in contradiction with the Bible.
    The organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses already released an official statement about Prince’s death, noting that Prince enjoyed the preaching work they does from house to house while he was still alive.
    Despite not having a large funeral service, fans flocked Paisley Park to pay tributes, share stories, and reminisce the life and works of a great music artist.

    The Librarian got a reaction from Martha Braun Amistadi in Jehovah's Witness Church Release Statement Over Prince's Death, Says He 'Found Fulfillment Sharing His Faith With Others'   
    The Jehovah's Witness Church has released a statement following the untimely death of Prince, who officially converted to the religion in 2003. 

    "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." 

    The statement added: "We do not have any details regarding his medical condition or the cause of his death. Our thoughts are with his family and friends, particularly his fellow worshippers in the Saint Louis Park congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Minnesota. We hope that all find comfort in the Bible’s promise of a future time when death, pain, and tears will be no more.—Revelation 21:3, 4."

    She served in their church for 35 years and became a Pentecostal pastor for 15 years. Now she’s happily serving Jehovah. What an inspiration! I would never forget the moment she said she’s glad she found the truth with Jehovah’s Witnesses and that she’s truly overjoyed by the fact that she’s now part of Jehovah’s organization. She really is an inspiration and definitely one of the many sources of encouragement to be more close to Him. I love this org. I love meeting His people. Photo shared by @vyaaan

    Origins: Due to its strange appearance and the fact that it resides behind locked gates on private property (the Fly Ranch in Hualapai Flat), the Fly Geyser in Nevada is often met with a mixture of awe and skepticism when viewers encounter photographs of that strange formation on the Internet. That geothermal vent in the Black Rock Desert really does exist and look as pictured, but some misconceptions about it abound. The Fly Geyser is not a natural formation. The geyser was created accidentally in 1964, after a geothermal power company drilled a test well at the site. While the groundwater in the region turned out not to be sufficiently hot to be tapped for geothermal power, it did have a temperature of more than 200 degrees. According to later newspaper reports, the well was either left uncapped or was improperly plugged. The scalding water has erupted from the well since then, leaving calcium carbonate deposits growing at the rate of several inches per year. The brilliant red and green coloring on the mounds is from thermophilic algae thriving in the extreme micro-climate of the geysers. AND the vibrant colors of the Fly Geyser seen in photographs are not the product of digital manipulation. According to Weather.com, the brilliant red and greens featured on the geyser come from thermophilic algae: So even if Jehovah didn’t start it his creations certainly took over and this was the result.

    Deadly family tragedy in Wiedergeltingen: coincidental visit by Jehovah's Witnesses saves wife's life
    Family tragedy - a semi-detached house in Wiedergeltingen (district Unterallgäu) became the scene of a dramatic family tragedy, During an argument, a 59-year-old man severely injured his wife with a firearm and then apparently killed himself. On Wednesday, the police announced that the man had no license for the weapon.
    At around 10:15 am, the 46-year-old woman made an emergency call to the police headquarters South/West Swabia, informing them that she was being threatend by her husband with a weapon. So reports press officer Jürgen Krautwald.
    At the same time, a male Jehovah's Witness happened to ring the doorbell of the married couple. This gave the woman an opportunity to escape. The man at the door also took flight and made a distress call.
    The husband engaged in pursuing the two and once out in the open, opened fire shooting at the two. He hit his wife at least once, she was able to take refuge at a neighbors'. The man [our brother] remained unharmed.
     
    Wiedergeltingen: Man opens fire on his wife and subsequently kills himself Photo: Benjamin Liß Shortly after, a large contingent of police and rescue forces arrived at the scene. A large area around the scene of the crime was closed off. The severely injured woman was brought to hospital. According to police, she is in no critical state.
    Officers found the husband on the premises, also severely injured. He died of his injuries at the crime scene. According to the current state of investigations, the man shot himself with the pistol.
    The events leading up to the argument have not yet been clarified. According to police statements, the couple has two daughters that were both not at home during the incident.
    Wiedergeltingens mayor Norbert Führer expressed himself to be "deeply unsettled" by what had happened. According to him, the family moved into town a few years ago. He wants to find out in what ways the community can help. A neighbor reported that the family was very nice, especially the husband always greeted in a kind manner and exhibited good neighborship.
    Update 9th of March
    As police reported on Wednesday, the man had no legal license for the pistol. Apparently it is unclear where the man had the weapon from. The police continues to investigate. The prosecuters office in Memmingen has called for an autopsy of the deceased [husband]

    Chemotherapy does more harm then good. It destroys your immune system that can more than anything else to destroy cancer. Drug companies are getting super-rich for something that kills humans.
