Prince went out as a Jehovah's Witness

Prince apparently liked to go door-to-door as a Jehovah's witness under the religious influence of his friend and mentor, former Sly and the Family Stone bassist Larry Graham.
"Sometimes people act surprised,"  Graham told The New Yorker in 2008, "but mostly they're really cool about it."

Why the picture of a Mormon while discussing Prince as a Jehovah's Witness?  

It might be humorous but some might think he was not really a Witness, if you size him up with Mormons.  By the way, whatever record he might have had is with Jehovah now.  He did what he could.

I  believe,  Prince  was  a  JW,   but  I  can't  believe  he  was  an  elder,  NO...  Elders  need  alot  time  for  theocratic  work,  beside  their  full-time  jobs !

He wasn't an elder. It's just a joke cos Prince was a singer, see, and 'Hello, my name is Elder ...'  is a (brilliantly performed) song from the musical The Book of Mormon where missionaries are elders, and Mormons knock on doors and ring doorbells like JWs do, and it's like Prince is ringing a doorbell and singing his presentation and ... although the joke was kinda lame it raised a smile but now any slight amusement that was there has been killed.

    • The theory had been around since 1945 as the “Wheeler-Feynman AbsorptionTheory” but was proved by experiment only a few years ago.
    • Recent experiments have proved the concept of “advanced” and “retarded” light, which means that each photon emitted from any source, at any frequency is FIRST triggered by the return  signal which goes backwards in time FROM whatever WILL ABSORB IT, at the other end., be it nanometers away, or at the edge of the Universe. The “trigger”, signal is called the “Advanced Photon” You know that as you approach the speed of light, time slows down. AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, time stops. ON A PHOTON …. time is completely stopped, so a trillion years travel time does not affect it at all. Travel time of a photon from point “A” to point “B” may take 30 billion years, and the return photon (the “Advanced Photon”) Photon that allows it to release may take negative 30 billion years, but to EITHER photon it’s almost instantaneous, except for a few nanoseconds where the photon traveling backwards in time arrives at the local source BEFORE the light leaves the local source. The local photon generated (… say from a candle …) is called the “retarded photon”. Cool, huh?
    • interesting new ability to view photons in action: I'd love for them to try the double slit experiment and observing the behavior with this new camera.  
    • BTK59 …. You gave my statement of fact a “downvote”. If you know that I have written wrongly, it is your responsibility to correct me and set the matter straight.

      Hello, Darlene, I just love your name, I had a cousin named Darline, and had a classmate also named Darlene! It's a pleasure to know another Darlene! Especially a Spiritual Sister! There's some websites, Ministry Ideaz , JW Stuff.com, and Etsy that I use to order my yearly buttons for the Conventions! They always send me what I order, and their also Jehovah's Witnesses, that send us the merchandise we order!  You can check out these websites, and they might have what your looking for! I hope I have been helpful in assisting you, Darlene! Agape love, Shirley!😀
