28 Famous People Who Were Or Currently Are Jehovah's Witnesses

This list of famous Jehovah's Witnesses is sorted by fame and popularity. Jehovah's Witness is a Christian religion that prefers to use their own translation of the Bible entitled The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. They distribute literature door-to-door and they do not celebrate birthdays or holidays. Jehovah Witnesses also refuse blood transfusions, and they will not serve in the military. Serena Williams was raised Jehovah's Witness and still practices today, in case you had ever wondered about her religion. There are actually a number of actors who are Jehovah's Witness, or at least, who were raised that way. Some on this list are former Jehovah's Witnesses, like Donald Glover, who was raised that way, but later became an atheist. Who is the most famous celebrity Jehovah's Witness? Prince tops our list. The “Purple Rain” musician became a Jehovah's Witness in 2001, after his mother's death. Family friend and fellow Jehovah's Witness Larry Graham was a big influence on Prince during this time. It has been reported that once Prince needed hip surgery, but refused the treatment because his religion prevented him from accepting the supplemental blood needed to complete the procedure. King of Pop Michael Jackson was also reportedly raised a Jehovah's Witness. Scroll below for more celebrities who are (or were) Jehovah's Witnesses.
