  so serena williams lost the us open final 6-2, 6-4 to naomi osaka, her japanese-american opponent.. williams received three code violations from the umpire, carlos ramos: .

  1. a warning for illegal coaching (subsequently admitted by williams's coach).

  2. a point penalty for smashing her racquet.

  Be interesting to see how this pans out there are probably plenty of celebrities happy to back her up if she cries double standards based on sexism and the media love her and bandwagons.

  So great you both decided to put yourselves out there it can be risky to out yourself publicly and officially as not in agreement with the beliefs of JWs and possibly put yourself in some zealous elders' crosshairs.

  It may inspire others to do the same.

  my wife and me have a booth at the local framers market.

  there is usually about 12 t0 14 vendors each week on a small short street in town.

  what is funny on each end of this short street are cart setups with 3 people on each cart.

  She possibly has more wins in her she is a pretty tough athlete and tennis greats seem to have long shelf life.

  The tennis heirarchy may be getting bored and wear her down with penatlies and point loss - it happens. Especially of she loses her shit everytime.

  The media and the crowds do love a good tennis tanty tho, there's that.

  Not viewed as a JW if not reported for 6 months?

  by kramer in

  hi, i seem to remember that the society have said that you are not viewed as a witness if you have not reported for 6 months.. does this ring any bells?

  someone i know has been called for a judicial, even though she has said she doesn’t believe and is not not attending meetings and hasn’t for 6 months.what she did was 12 months ago when she was a witness.. she is not sure whether she should turn up or not, as turning up shows she thinks she answers to elders still.

  but also doesn’t want to be automatically disfellowshipped which may happen if she doesn’t turn up.. if there is an article to quote saying someone inactive isn’t seen as a witness, this would be helpful.. any thoughts?.

  I know when I was still attending there was an inactive witness that owned a local caf and she started putting full on xmas displays in the window of the caf one year they did investigate but decided she had been inactive for so long they wouldn't pursue it.

  She did come from a large influential witness family mind you and local witnesses patronized the business that could well have inflenced their decision because she was definitely known as a witness by the community at large.

  These things are often arbitrary and capricious in nature as to how they are handled locally.

  Will there be any backlash stuck? How will your friends and relo's react - if they take a sneaky peek that is 😄

  Is this the beginning of the end of this queen of tennis' reign?

  All good runs come to an end eventually.
