My friend who works for him believes it was pneumonia.
I can confirm that he did witness, and did occasionally knock on doors of neighbors around Paisley Park.

We lost Sunny to JWs because the temptation of her missionary person was too tempting and believable. Some of us tried to tell her to refuse it all and stick around.
Jehovah's Witnesses somehow have some kind of power over people. Maybe I should go to a "service" and see how fucked it is. Maybe I could become a fake JW? Could be fun.

Sunny turning to darkness is in this thread. Sorry, Sunny.
I think more than a few of us were shocked by Sunny's sudden departure, RocketMan.We all must follow the path our heart leads us. Most will have only fond memories of her contributions to remember Sunny and I'm sure we all wish her well.
It was unexpected and sad news to learn of Prince's untimely death. He was unique and brought pop to new audiences in a way no other before him had. And he was a phenomenal guitarist.
RIP, artist formerly known as Prince.

When I turned 11, my parents gave me a transistor radio for my birthday. I listened to it every day that year and decided that the best song of 1984 by far was Let's Go Crazy. I'm still stunned. Prince was one of the all time greats in music. So glad I got to see His Purpleness in concert. RIP.

He was a control freak about his creations, but he was one of a kind. He's left behind a tremendous unpublished library, so in time we'll be hearing more of his work. Sad to lose such a creative artist-person.

A R.I. member becoming a J.W.?
Is it really so strange?
Jehovah's Witnesses teach that the present world order, which they perceive as being under the control of Satan, will be destroyed by a direct intervention of Jehovah (God), who will use Jesus Christ to fully establish his heavenly government over earth, destroying existing human governments and non-Witnesses,[6][7][8] and creating a cleansed society of true worshippers. They see their mission as primarily evangelical (disseminating "good news"), to warn as many people as possible in the remaining time before Armageddon.[9][10] All members of the religion are expected to take an active part in preaching.[11] Witnesses refer to all their beliefs collectively as "the Truth".[12]
R.I. posters teach that the present world order, which they perceive as being under the control of the ptb, will be destroyed by a direct intervention of deep state operators, who will use a political figurehead to fully establish his secret government over earth, destroying existing human governments and non-R.I.'ers,[6][7][8] and creating a despotic society of true slaves. They see their mission as primarily exhortatory (disseminating "bad news"), to warn as many people as possible in the remaining time before Armageddon.[9][10] All members of the board are expected to take an active part in posting.[11] R.I.'ers refer to all their beliefs collectively as "the R.I. Board".

Holy shit. I just watched a Prince special on NBC and boy were they ready with the footage/story and interviews. Dare I say, it seemed like it was largely pre-produced. I got no idea, but it seemed like it was already made for a sleek hour long special.
