Jailhouse religious conversions, ho-hum.

Now I don't know about Prince, but Michael Jackson should have converted to Jehovah's Witnesses a long time ago. Apparently they have a structure that provides airtight security for child molesters who understand how it works. If a JW is accused of sexual abuse by another JW, the complainant is advised to go to the church elders, NOT the police. The elders listen to the allegations, then call upon the accused and ask him (almost always a him) if they are true. If he denies everything, that's the end of it. The elders "leave it in Jehovah's hands".

There's a man in New Hampshire who has been convicted of sexually abusing his daughters over a period of several years--practically his entire temple membership testified, at his trial, what a great guy he is, while they ostracized his ex-wife and children for laying charges.

They sure take care of their own.
