    There has always been this grey area with people who associate ( and sometimes self identify as JWs ) but never get baptised.

    This.

    I lost count of how many times, years ago, while out in field serve-us, I'd start my presentation and the householder would say "Oh, hey, I'm a JW too!"

    "Hey great! What congregation do you go to?"

    [Blank stare]

    Turns out they attended meetings back in the 60's and hadn't been near a Kingdom Hall in decades, but they still believe "it's the truth" and self-identify as JWs.

    and why shouldnt they ? most in the UK --if asked--mumble C of E--even though probably never been to church in their life.

    if you think about it--if an individual decides to label themselves "jehovah's witness"--in spite of never attending a hall--or assembly---never door knocking or reading any watchtower literature---theres nothing to stop them. sure--the watchtower may announce that ( so n so) is not one of J's w's---so what ?

    if i tell all and sundry that i'm a jw --why shouldnt they believe me ? no one going to be following me around telling them i'm not.

    so--in the case of ms Williams-------i'm sure the watchtowers lawyers have thought long and hard about refuting her claims.----and kept shtoom.

    @ Dozy. i'm not sure if Cliff Richard was ever thought of as a dub--or even claimed to be one. i think his mother was; i know 2 of the Shadows are / were--liquorice Locking and Hank Marvin.

    Sure she stands up when they play the national anthem in the tennis tournaments. Never understood how she could claim to be a JW.

    Lost in the fog: The Vogue interview is dated this week.

    And does it mention anything about JWs??

    hisclarkness: "i believe it was from the vogue interview that specifically covered her wedding a month or so ago where she made the statement about being raised but never getting serious about it."

    Thanks, hisclarkness! I'll look it up. I was wondering if she recently starting suffering from new parent guilt. I have seen several people do that. They have a baby and then all of the decide, they feel like they need to decide on a religion.
