Gopher thanks, appears that is is proof enough for the Williams sisters to be witnesses and proof enough for the existance of a double standard. I appreciate your efforts.

There is nothing in the article that says they are baptized. There are unbaptized publishers, and the Williams sisters may simply go out in service because they've been taught to by their mother. If they're not baptized, I doubt the Watchtower will move to take any action against them. Headquarters does not want bad PR. As high a profile as Michael Jackson was, his disassociation was a very quiet matter. Spin Magazine (a music mag) published a detailed account of it, and mentioned the multiple elders meetings that took place regarding Jackson's estrangement from the JWs. You would think it would have merited at least a small blurb in "Watching Da World" in the back of the Awake rag. If the Watchtower is smart, they will say nothing, hear nothing, do nothing. It can only hurt their image at a time when they're numbers are going down. Perhaps the powers that be over the Watchtower have gotten a little wiser when it comes to the way they are perceived by the general public.
