We can't picture Serena preaching at our doors.

One of the biggest beliefs in the faith is that the world has become sinful and God, who they refer to as Jehovah, will have to end it soon to create a new kingdom. “Alexis didn’t grow up going to any church, but he’s really receptive and even takes the lead,” Serena said of her husband, “He puts my needs first.”īut what Jehovah’s Witnesses are perhaps best known for is their preaching – usually in the form of door-knocking and recruitment drives. Her husband, Alexis Ohanian, has been completely supportive of her faith and even encouraged her to become more involved, despite not being overtly religious himself. “Being a Jehovah’s Witness is important to me, but I’ve never really practiced it and have been wanting to get into it,”, just before Olympia’s birth. The sisters were both raised as Jehovah's Witnesses. Serena’s mother Oracene Price had converted to the faith in the 1980s and took her daughters with her, raising Serena and Venus in a faith the former admitted she didn’t truly connect with until recently. They’re also dedicated to peace, remaining politically neutral and refusing to serve in the military, and don’t affiliate with other faiths – though the church insists Jehovah’s Witnesses respect other faiths. Members of the faith reject blood transfusions, don’t engage in sex before marriage, and don’t celebrate Easter or Christmas because of their ties to pagan ceremonies.
