    It's almost time for their new show tonight 9pm CST. I wonder if they will mention their ties to the JW's?

    hmmm, the Atty sister has taken over mom's role because mom isn't around much anymore.

    Yoga???? but she did mention she was religious, wonder if she gets to count her time, next week she can count her return visits if she makes another little mention of being religious. If they make a video to sell, they might be able to count their placement.  

    Stay tuned for next weeks episode of their wild and wacky adventures

    Did not even know they were or are JW or even connected here in South Africa.

    Thought that JW could not be competative, my kid could not participate in ANY sports.

    Please keep us updated as in South Africa if you do not have DSTV, then we stuck with 4 well 3 channels as the one is a pay channel and lots just cannot afford it.

    I saw just the beginning of their show when they were eating in an expensive restaurant and talking to friends about how much nicer more materialistic their lives are.

    I saw a commercial for this show and I just kinda laughed. I wouldn't mind more information on what you guys thought about the show though. Yoga? Materialistic? Ah yes the book (and it's organization) that can change hearts is strong.

    While they have a JW background, from what I have seen, they are nothing like the normal rank and file witness.  I would be shocked if they did much personal study, or attended most, if any meetings, and I don't really see them going out in service.

    I could be wrong..... but the things I have seen them do and act on tv etc, does not match with WTS requirements.  If they are even baptized, in the hall I attended, they would have been df'd a long time ago.

    Good for them that despite being raised JW they are pursuing their dream  but *good god* it's fairly annoying for them to put themselves out there as the devout JW poster children -- it's a dishonest recruitment tactic IMHO.

    I think that is the biggest reason why these girls are starting to get on my nerves.

    As many as 20 million Americans practice yoga in pursuit of physical or mental fitness, with a little Om along the way.  

    Sachin Tendulkar, football's Eddie George, Shannon Sharpe and Amani Toomer; baseball pitchers Barry Zito and Al Leiter, star hockey goalie Sean Burke and NBA superstar Kevin Garnett and Shaquille O'Neal, as well as pro golfers and tennis player, Pete Sampras, Leander Paes, Venus Williams, Serena Williams, John McEnroe http://www.atributetohinduism.com/Yoga_and_Hindu_Philosophy.htm

    My teenage daughter informed me that I could watch this at most any time since the cable channel 'ABC Family' re-airs it's programs as much as Discovery channel re-airs theirs.

    That's good, because I was not about to miss LOST last night.  I'm hooked.

    I'm about to look for a message board or feedback forum on ABC Family channel.

    Here we go:

    There are two threads going.

    There is a thread entitled Jehovahs Witnesses there.

    This has actually been started by someone to get some reaction from the dubs...

    Its already sparking some debates...

    All the Williams children were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses, and home-schooled by their mother.

    Does not state if they were ever actually baptized.

    Their father, Richard Williams, has coached and, some say, harangued the girls since childhood -- or even earlier. He says he was watching tennis on TV in 1978, and when he saw how much prize money could be won, he decided on the spot that tennis winnings could be his family's path to success.

    Bastard. I'm guessing that having jehovah as your god was not a path towards success. Only the Almighty Dollar!
