DO Brown Payne tells SA audience Serena Williams "disciplined" by her local elders for swearing on TV

by oppostate in

at today's special assembly in natick ma, bro brown payne annouced to the audience that serena williams was disciplined by her local elders for her swearing escapade on tv.. saying: "can jehovah's witnesses swear like that on tv?

" then he told the audience that she was "disciplined" by the elders of the congregation she's a publisher in.. doesn't this smack of revealing the private business of another person?

the most the local elders could have said was "a matter concerning serena williams has been handled by the elder body".

What would make Serena Williams sue the WT?

Probably not the fact that elders supposedly disciplined her.

The way DO Brown Payne said it was almost like Serena took the discipline and as a JW she wont be doing that again.

His remarks that this brought reproach on Jehovah's name made just about everyone taking notes start writing down what he was saying.

I'm sure there's a lot of notes and even the recording done by the sound department that can be used in a lawsuit.

But would Serena Williams sue the WT? Probably not.

She's a mouthy but obedient J-Doobie or so it was presented.

What do you all think?

don't you hate these misleading headers.

i usually wait a day to see if there are a significant number of posters to the page.. but just look at the number of visitors that click on these kinds of subjects.. it builds up really fast.. i don't mind the time factor (1 milisecond) clicking on a bogus "new-secret-this will bring the org crashing down" type of post, but i have to admit it is very disappointing.. .
