i know a couple of sisters who have been canseled by the elders for wearing a little bit to short skirt.
i just wonder what serena's elders think when they see pictures of her like this in magazines.
is she still in good standing?
I heared them on more than one occassion to give thanks to Jehovah for vinning a game. Why would they do it if they would not consider themselves to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses?
Here is one proof that a BBC reporter heared Venus to give thanks publicly.

I don't know if they are baptized or not, but I heared them claming to be JWs. One of them even said during an interview that she feels a bit guilty for not being able to spend more time in the door-to-door work.
I seen them on TV a couple of times after vinning a game saying: "First of all I would like to thank to my God Jehovah for giving me this victory."
Mini skirt and G string is not mandatory in tennis. They can play in short. But I guess Serena sold her right to Puma to decide what she wears.
The principle is not to drive men horny. It is certanly not OK in the Kingdom Hall. Is it OK on TV while millions of guys are watching?
Sisters get in trouble with the elders if someone reports it to the congregation that they been seen dressed sexy on the street.

Is she still in good standing? Can rich and famous Jehovah's Witnesses get away doing things average witnesses would be canseled for?
Can you imagine the negative publicity the Watchtower would get if they would disfellowship Serena for "Conduct not becoming of a Christian"? Can you imagine if as the result of her disfellowshipment she would suffer a nurveous brake down and she would't be able to play on professional level?
the following picture appears in todays watchtower study in the article, find the light in jehovahs righteousness on page 16. .
sister anderson is pictured to the left, now why would they use s picture if she was df?

on this link you can give public comments on your views of the panorama programme.
already, several jws are in denial over the claims of the programme, and i think we need to add some balanced comments to show that there are many ex-jws who have been hurt by the wts, and that we appreciated the programme.. please tell the bbc your thoughts..
Make sure you write about their failed prophecies, abuse of Human Rights, their secret UN membership, and that everyone will be destroyed soon unless they become Watchtower salesmen.

hi all,.
after almost a year of trying to fade out, they have come to my door encouraging me to be there for the memorial this year.. could you guys give me some strong valid reasons why this whole ritual is wrong in the first place?
maybe some counter scriptures from the bible.. i have a few in mind already but just wondering what you guys think.. getting ready for theocratic war hehe.
Jesus had many desciples but only a few (the Apostles) were present that evening. If it was OK for most of the desciples not to get involved it is OK for you too.

Looks like they where Jehovah's Witnesses.
"Steinhoff credits his wife and children for saving his life. A self-described "two-bit hood" before he married Jamie five years ago, Steinhoff is well-known to local police for his involvement in petty crimes and violence.
"My history is one of trouble with the law," Steinhoff said. "I was on a road to nowhere. I knew everything, no one could tell me anything, I couldn't be touched."
Until he met Jamie. A devoted Jehovah's Witness, Jamie reached out to Steinhoff and "broke down my barriers of resistance with love," he said.
Though born into the faith, Steinhoff kept it at arm's length until about eight months ago, when he embraced it and decided to change his life. The family decided to leave the bad memories and worst influences in Windsor to head north for a fresh start in a new community. "
"Steinhoff was overwhelmed by the condolences and strong support he received from family, friends and people from all over North America. As a member of the Jehovah's Witness faith, Steinhoff said, he is part of a larger extended family who cares for their own."

"The whole family was planning a trip in May to Disneyland. It was Bobby's Christmas gift. Two days after he died, the brochures came in the mail."

I found this article in the January 21, 2002 edition of Windsor Star (Windsor, Ontario, Canada)
http://www.southam.com/windsorstar/news/020121/47014.html
The article talks about a young family with four kids driving on a Canadian highway to celebrate somebody’s birthday when they got hit by a truck. The mother and all the four kids died in the accident.
Than toward the end the article says that a memorial service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
I heard the elders used to disfellowship those JWs who celebrate birthdays. It seems like they allowing a memorial service to be held in the Kingdom Hall.
Is it OK now to celebrate birthdays?

this is a spin-off to scully's stunning account of mistreatment at the hands of jw elders.. scully was refused the emblems at a memorial celebration.
this happened once to me also, just after my father had died.
stupidly, my wife and i agreed to accompany my mother to a memorial.
You can allways go to a hall where nobody knows you, and take the emblems!
