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.
