How do you think the JW's will react to this? This show is rated MA for mature audiences (ie, nudity, language)

Serena Williams Gets Part on Showtime

Jul 24, 7:32 AM (ET) By The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Serena Williams will play a reformed gang member on parole in an Oct. 1 episode of the Showtime series "Street Time."

"As a fan of 'Street Time,' I told myself that if given the opportunity, I'd love to be on the show," Williams said Wednesday. "I am taking this role very seriously, because I want to excel and because I have respect for the series."

The world's top-ranked women's tennis player had the role created for her, said Richard Stratton, the cable show's co-executive producer.

"Anyone that has seen Serena perform on the tennis court understands her commitment to being the best," he said. "We are confident that she will bring that same type of energy and devotion to 'Street Time.'"

Williams has appeared in TV commercials with her sister, Venus, and played a kindergarten teacher last year in an episode of the ABC sitcom "My Wife and Kids."

"Street Time," starring Rob Morrow, begins its second season Aug. 6.

How will the elders react? Privately they'll be watching and hoping for "glimpses" of sexiness from Serena or the other cast members.

Publicly they'll probably condemn the show as part of the world's deteriorating morals in its "last days".

When was the last time a JW had a regular role on a prime-time TV series? Has there been any since Teresa Graves did "Get Christy Love" about a quarter-century ago?

Next it will be "sex in the city"...or on the tennis court in her case.

Since the WTS hasn't said anything about her skimpy tennis outfits, or her draping herself in the flag, I doubt that they will say anything about this.

Did anyone else hear the rumour that Serena is dating Keyshawn Johnson?

Once again, these girls are not "real" witnesses. In the hall I attended, these girls would have been df'd long time ago.

Just curious...

How do you know that her elders haven't said anything to her about her skimpy outfits? Are you a member of her Kingdom Hall? Where you in the back room when they talked to her? I didn't think so.

I've noticed that her outfits have become waay more modest of late, like at the at the ESPN awards. So there.

ohhhhh yeah i was there but when she offfered to make a huge contribution to the world wide work we decided she was obviously repentant and let her off with no restrictions............ hahahhaa jk as you well know but thats how i imagined the senerio went pretty much.
