    " Yes are brothers and sisters are getting brutally beat up just for have a meeting together, such persecution against Jehovah's faithful servants. "

    Are you as loyal and devoted as these fine brothers and sisters ?

    Me, too, Blondie.

    Private homes should suffice.

    That's how it all began.

    Blondie,

    So why not gather as families...

    The Russians have banned Evangelical house meetings and is even banning email that has a religious message.

    They have also bulldozed Pentecostal churches.

    VI, I meant as one family, mom, dad, minor children? Not 2 families or more....sorry I wasn't clear. Perhaps grandma and grandpa if they already lived there for some time.

    As authoritarian as they are, the Russian police would probably have neighbors spying on the families of JW's.

    Scary.

    @Blondie. Yes, but they are Evangelicals and it is at the core of their religion that they should spread their message. Also, there are those who don't have families.

    Please remember that the old Soviet Union had a wealth of experience dealing with the WT. Under persecution the meetings were limited to groups of about 8-10 people gathered like for a social get together. The limitation for families only will take care of that.

    Most likely the State will have neighborhood watchers checking any JW suspicious activity.

    Considering how many families the WBT$/JW`s break up..

    The Russian Police probably have plenty of volunteers..
