You know I think I had a book with his signature in it, actually I had two books that he wrote. I couldn't verify the signature so I sold it for $25. Now I wish I had kept it because I realize his signature probably changed over the years, especially after he got heavy into drugs. If he had lived, he may have been eventually drawn to the JWs. In case you are interested, "Prince" is studying with the JWs. He may be baptized, I'm not sure.

No.
John Lennon seemed most comfortable with vague deities, such as those more common in Eastern religions. Lennon actually eschewed Christianity.
An interesting bit of trivia notes that for many decades, Jehovah's Witnesses refused to consider themselves a "religion". Thus, many early Witnesses would have looked forward to a world with "no religion too" (perceiving their worship as different from "religion").

Well short of asking him and/or someone who knew him well I doubt we would ever be able to say for sure. However based on the song, which my family and I have always loved, he says a number of things that make it seem, that at least this song, isn't in reference to being a Witness. I think the clearest part is, above us only sky. Considering the other lines, this one appears to say no heaven exists, and we as Christians feel firmly that Heaven does exist.

No...he is just one of the few people that "got it". If you can't label people and put them into little categories that make differences seem bigger than what they are, there would be hardly any reason to wage war, violence and hate.

no... no.... i believe that song was to make people think... if you read about him and his life and the things the gov tried to do to him... they tried deporting him, they felt he was a threat to national security... all the other things that start war, Religion and all that .. it was a song to get people to try to strip themselves down to the barest form .. and maybe see were really all the same.. that's my take on it anyway.

No I don't believe so. The song includes the line "and no religion too".
And I don't see Yoko letting him anyway.
