JW Venus Williams has been NAUGHTY
by Focus ina reliable source (other than the national enquirer, that is) has reported that jw venus williams has been spotted in public passionately kissing an older male called "frankie" outside a mall near palm beach gardens, florida, and then getting into a car with him.

how long before the 20-year old gets the chop?.

JWs and Alcohol Abuse/Addition/Escapism
by LovesDubs inwhen i first started studying in 84 at the ripe ol age of 29, i was told oft and repeatedly that jws did everything in moderation, and nothing sinful or unbiblical.
apparently, like everything else, they have added footnotes to the scriptures that say not to get drunk, as that seems to be their only "legitimate" (read, unregulated) escape from the reality that is the witchtrowel babble and trash sectciety.. there was one elder in my first congregation that reeked of alcohol even first thing in the morning at field service.
i was told by someone "born in the truth" that he had a "body chemistry problem, whereby when he would sweat it would smell like alcohol, and he did sweat profusely...hence the reddenned face.
