  i just read that serena said both of them were jws.

  but this wouldn't be the first time means 1) supports her beliefs and does them 2) supports her beliefs and doesn't interfered with but no where does it say he is a baptized witness.

  Blondie, this came up on Google news today.

  They claim hubby is a JW...but claim the baby was pre-marriage.

  Meet Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit: he just announced he’s being treated for Lyme disease, is a Jehovah’s Witness like the tennis star, and shares 2 children with her

  STORYFAYE BRADLEY

  Jul 19 , 2024"

  "Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian has just revealed that he’s been diagnosed with Lyme disease, despite having no symptoms, ABC News reports."

  "Yes, Ohanian and Williams are both Jehovah’s Witnesses. Williams has talked about how the two navigate their religion together. “Being a Jehovah’s Witness is important to me, but I’ve never really practised it and have been wanting to get into it,” she told Vogue in 2017. “Alexis didn’t grow up going to any church, but he’s really receptive and even takes the lead. He puts my needs first,” she added."

  At the end of the first week, it appears the future US election is a coin toss. Only time will tell.

  The latest poll by the Wall Street Journal:

  I have heard of worse interrogations. A very well done short film that captures the pain, angst, and humiliation of the situation.

  So What Religion do You Claim to be when Entering Hospital?

  by mikronboy in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i've had a few medical procedures.

  once, i had a massive loss of blood and needed 6 units of blood to replace the loss.

  however, i'm curious as to what ex's state to be their religion when filling out the required paperwork when being admitted into a hospital.

  Last two surgeries in California we requested "Confidentiality"- no visitors-no religion. The LAST thing we want is a visit from some uninvited HLC hillbilly from Watchtower while recovering from surgery. Most of them simply want to snoop at your chart to see if you took blood, had an std, abortion, etc.

  WT needs your kids uneducated: CO training video is Master Class in F.O.G. This is jaw-droppingly stupid. Beyond moronic, it's sub-moronic.

  co training video: link to ex-jw reddit thread discussion.

  today is the first time i was made aware of this actual elder body video.

  it's training for how a co should handle elder's whose children decide to pursue further education.

  lol. Thanks, WC. Yes, she left me. Like four other local JW "Karens" She used the new "out" that appeared in the late 80s edition of the "Family " book...."Spiritual Endangerment". (Watchtower's sleazy attempt to give a free JW pass to dump "Apostates".) Hoping to "upgrade" and bank on her looks she took ALL money and ran. Her open sharing about what she did, eventually got around the circuit and scared away all potential suitors, and after a while, all financial support from others.

  I am not sure she can even afford a box now! Exhibit "A" of the fruitage of following Watchtower's bad advice. But within a month after she left, my doctor asked me: what I had done to get such an improvement in my vitals and major improvement in blood pressure?! After a moment I said "My wife left"...he then busted out laughing! He then ran out in the hallway to tell his partner and the nurses what I said. They all came into the exam room and laughed. :)

  Sorry Wing .... Nope.

  I look back at the one success story in my old Hall and if I could....I would somehow kick my own behind across the room. lol.

  However, in the 80s after turning 30, as a married MS, I did sneak off to Junior College on non meeting nights for a few years, and later to a local college in order to get a "real" job with benefits. I say "sneak" because I told no JWs not even my mother. It was almost like having a secret "affair"...it was my "secret sin" lol.

  Eventually my 1st JW wife complained about me to the Elders and CO for going to college, having an IRA, 401k pension.....thus having "no faith" in the end! :)
