Serena Williams - Renewed JW activity & Boyfriends?
by Seeker4 inthis is a paragraph from a ny times article today on tennis champion serena williams.
her comment is in regard to how she dealt with the murder of her older sister a couple of years ago.. "i tried to develop a better relationship with god," williams, who was raised a jehovah's witness, told me over the phone.
"you have a strong solid foundation, the bible says, you won't crack, but the man who built his house in the sand, his house went down spiritually.

Please read if you commented on topic re:FDS/BS- meeting elders-BACKGROUND
by AWAKE&WATCHING inmy situation is a little different than most.the only family i have in the borg are my in-laws who don't care much for me any way.
while my husband has studied off and on for years and is currently attending most meetings, he has never felt "ready" to get baptized.. i was in the truth (gag) for 10 years, went through a bad divorce from an unbeliever and disassociated myself , i was depressed, worn out and felt guilty for not being able to keep up with the "do more" bs.
i still believed and blamed myself.

she said she didn't want to hear my apostate stuff.
