    Technicly she's not a dub as I understand she's not been baptized. Besides, looking at the potential donations she can make they'll be nice to her.

    Hmmm. That's news to me. Thought she and her sister were indeed witnesses, but I grasp the distinction you suggest.

    I just now searched this site, and find this comment:

    The fact that Venus (and her sister Serena) are both active Jehovah's Witnesses participating in the Olympics has provoked an interesting reaction from the organization.

    That's from this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=36224&site=3

    Can anybody point to something definite on this point? Don't want to call her a witness if she's not...

    Thanks, Michael.

    Michael,

    I just now changed the thread title to something that I know is completely accurate! LOL.

    Thanks again.

    I always thought the flag was not supposed to touch the ground?!?!

    If she is a publisher they can reprove her but nothing more. At least that is what I have been lead to believe.

    Maybe her privileges will be restricted, like no handling of microphones.

    When she won this last time, she said, "I'd like to thank my God Jehovah." I can't believe how hypocritical the organisation must be over this, coz we weren't even allowed to participate in after-school sports teams due to bad association.

    shes not saluting it so perhaps they are letting it slide since she is after-all...a star.

    So, is she or isn't she a Witness?
