Gracie got a reaction from The Librarian in Jehovah's Witness Church Release Statement Over Prince's Death, Says He 'Found Fulfillment Sharing His Faith With Others'
An answer when mild turns away rage.
We don't have all the answers but we can be kind nonetheless. Please don't be offended, I'm sure no offense was contemplated.
How unkind to turn our dear brother's death into something shameful. Console one another and compose self with kindness. To each one who ask provide an answer.... if you do some research at JW.org search all the topics you want and be sure to read the scriptures provided. You won't find a better source.

God's will includes this command: "But become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, freely forgiving one another just as God also by Christ freely forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32) May all of our words be a source of healing.

@Jay Witness
I was NOT calling you the devil. I was merely using a phrase that Jesus used toward those religious leaders who were always seeking to find fault with his true teachings. Jesus even told his loyal follower Peter once: "Get behind me Satan" when Peter need to be corrected in his understanding.
I am sorry that you misinterpret my meaning when I choose to use the phrase, quoting Jesus: "your are from your father the Devil"... I was NOT calling you the Devil sir.
I was merely making a comparison between the first accuser and those who follow in his lead of finding fault with those earnestly trying to do their best in serving Jehovah.
Jesus said those words to the Pharasies: "YOU are from YOUR father the Devil, and YOU wish to do the desires of YOUR father. That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of [the lie]." - John 8:44.
Do those words that Jesus said to those Pharisees make him "liable to the fiery Ge·henʹna."? (Matthew 5:22)... I think not.
You are a human being... Sinful just like me. But it seems that your aim is to slander a group of other sinful humans who are just trying their best to do Gods will as best they know how. And Satan did the same thing to Jesus and his first followers.

The statement was not giving at jw.org but from brother Nelsons local congregation. Imagine all the people popping in just to ask the friends if they knew anything? This statement was from his congregation, also most likely after many tabloids called and hounded them... Its gotta be a zoo over there with news trying to get some kind of scoop.
As for Mr Jay... I am sorry you are so bitter and unhappy. I hope that someday you find some inner peace.
There are plenty of articles at jw.org on how to manage stress and how to find happiness in this stressful world

I think you Mr. Jay Witness is looking for fault finding. You are judging. You needs to get the raft out of your own eyes. Jesus said he without Sin Cast the first stone. As long as we are descendants of Adam in this imperfect world under Satan Rule there will always be individual like you who's always looking for the worse in the living and the dead. we accept that our dear brother has died. Now you want to drag his name into the ground. People lied on our savior Jesus and they lie on Jehovah God every day. its nothing for people like you to look at the bad but don't see your bad. I am so thankful that my God can see the good in his servant and gives us freewill to choose to serve and praise him. (Revelation 4:11). Maybe you need to rethink your comments and let them be up building and encouraging and seasoned with salt.

@Jay Witness ....
Let's keep it positive. No Judging. Disfellowshipping is used less and less nowadays for bad music choices and brothers are seen very often in "bar and grills' whereas the world you talk about was much more black and white.
Envision a new JW.org where we don't judge others based on personal matters.
Imagine...Bro. Prince and King David together, playing praises to Jehovah in the resurrection!

"We are saddened to hear about the death of Prince Rogers Nelson, who was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in 2003,"
>>>>>>>>>> a church spokesperson, David A. Semonian, said in a statement >obtained<by PEOPLE.<
Go to JW.org/press and see for yourself that there's no such "official" statement. They asked, someone answered. Where's the atrocity act commited by JW people?

Most of us JW's came out of this wicked world into a spiritual paradise leaving behind bad habits, old ideals, twisted reasonings, traditions of men,philosophies and empty teachings or reasonings....etc... Leaving behind a former course of life and putting on a new christian personality. We are the same person the only change being we now have a personal relationship with God Jehovah with a new insight into truth and now knowing what the love of God means and wanting to please him.
Famous individuals are the same. the only difference being they are under a microscope and reminded daily in a public display how they once were. An individual knows in themselves they are now fellow workers with Gods purposes and not against it and purpose to uphold Jehovah's will.
Imagine if you would if you personally did many pieces of work that everybody loved because it was dramatic it was beautiful; you receive awards for it so others have an exhibit to display your many other works. You love your work as do many others. You later learn that a few pieces were untrue or faulty in some way, defective. You rectify your standard to make it more to your satisfaction and true. Many will judge their opinion of you based on your passed work, but those who know you will know you no longer use the old standard and will know your improved works and commend your faithfulness. God commends such faithfulness. others can not see it perhaps; but it is not theirs to see it is the individuals.

Insight on the resurrection visit www.jw.org and search resurrection. Recall that Jesus died for all mankind, and the resurrection is not something any human can judge as to an individuals status of deserving or not deserving of a resurrection . "..... Judge not that you may be judged....." If you want to see who's resurrected, make it your determination to be there. There are no lists.....only faith and hope. I sympathize with family and friends of a "Friend of God" and fellow worker. condolences to those who knew and loved him.

It is of importance to note that no one knows anothers heart, thoughts and personal relationship with God. Now that being said it is of equal importance not to embolden oneself to claim they do.
So generally speaking, to offer insight and answer the general inquisitive mind on a few topics brought to this discussion.
Dis-fellowshipping takes place for an attitude and or an unwillingness of an individual to repent from or to turn away from a bad course. So yes you can be dis-fellowshipped for something, one can also be Reinstated after rectifying or abandoning a course of bad conduct. Dis-fellowshipping is a protection to individuals that are dis-fellowshipped; as well as those who are close to that person. From the scope of the big picture it keeps God's name clean.
It is the thought an individual alone is responsible for their calling as an anointed. it is between God and that individual. To question it is not to ones advantage,, nor the concern of others.
