What celebrities are Jehovah's Witnesses?

Answer 1

There are not many, George Benson and Prince are the only ones. Most of the other celebrities connected with Jehovah's Witnesses are not baptised and/or were simply raised in families with JW connections.

As many of these kind of questions, this one also, is only for entertainment.

The only name that was mentioned in the magazine Awake! is Larry Graham (1989 issue).
The most famous people still associated with the religion are the musician Prince, and the Williams sisters that play tennis. There are many actors who were raised witnesses, but left the religion, largely because the two life styles do not mix well due to time or morality constraints.
There are a number of celebrities who are either rumored to be JW's.

The list that I am aware of include:

Micky Spillane, a best selling author from a few years ago,

Venus and Serena Williams are former witnesses, they were once seen at a jw convention.

Prince Nelson, otherwise known as "Prince" is a baptised witness, However he is not at this time in good standing,

Larry Graham, who was a famous 1960's rock performer, and now he is a well-known record producer,

Maybe others can add to this list. There are many who are associated with witnesses or grew up in the faith, but never baptized. I cannot be sure that Michael Jackson was ever baptized, however he was not active as a Witness @ the time of his death. I also do not believe his brothers are active as witnesses, and neither are Janet, nor Latoya. At this time, only Rebbie seems to be active.

George Benson is a Jehovah's Witness

Naomi Campbell the model was raised as a witness but is no longer associated with the religion

Katherine Jackson is an active witness of Jehovah. She is, as Michael intended, raising Michael Jackson's children as Jehovah's witnesses. They have been seen at meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses and also sharing in the door to door preaching work of the witnesses

Hank Marvin is one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

The list above shall probably be added to with more names. I would like to give the reader to consider that this list never is confirmed as to be taken seriously or for truth. See this list only for your entertainment. The fact that some people on this list uses the name Jehovah in their daily conversation is no guarantee that they are real Jehovah Witnesses.

The one who really is a witness, is he/she who does the work Jesus gave us to do in these last days.

By the term celebrity, I am going to assume you mean famous people. There are a number of famous JW's, and I will list as many as I have been able to find out about.

Dwight D Eisenhower was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, but never became a witness himself.

Evelyn Mandela, first wife of Nelson Mandela, converted Jehovah's Witnesses, also Lieby Piliso, Nelson mandela's younger sister.

Steffie Brzakovic, cousin of Pope Benedict the XVI is a Jehovah's Witness, and rumor has it that the former Pope, John Paul's sister was also a Jehovah's Witness.

Venus Williams and Serena Williams, world chamption/Olympic gold medalist tennis players were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses.

Lou Whitaker and Chet Lemon , professional baseball players for the Detroit Tigers.

Shont'e Peoples, professional football player for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Dave Pear, NFL professional football player for Colts, Buccaneers, and Raiders also converted to become a JW.

Mark McCumber, professional golfer

Dave Meyers, professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers in 1970s.

Danny Granger, professional basketball player for the Indiana Pacers was raised as a JW.

Lark Voorhies , TV/movie actress

Some of the Wayans family, relatives of Damon, Keenan Ivory Wayans are witnesses.

Rustom Padilla and Carmina Villarroel, Filipino movie stars.

Naomi Campbell, supermodel.

Mickey Spillane, best-selling crime novelist, converted to JWs.

Gloria Naylor, novelist, author of The Women of Brewster Place (1982, American Book Award) .

While many of these either were raised by witness parents, were ever baptised as a witness, or are still JW's, it will be impossible in most cases to confirm their current relationship with the faith.

There are not many famous Jehovah's Witnesses but Prince and George Benson are two.
Currently? none. Micheal Jackson, Prince, Venessa and Serena Williams and that one woman from the view (i dont remember what her name is xD) they used to be.
