  by OrphanCrow in

  i just watched the live feed from the russian court room and followed the updates on the russian exjw forum.. just waiting for confirmation from other sources...but, it looks like the final (and expected) result is:.

  banned.

  which means that the wts property in russia now belongs to the russian state..

  wow! Thanks for posting that orphancrow! What a disturbing post from the JWTALK site!!

  It seems that they would get some sort of sick joy out of seeing their "brothers and sisters" imprisoned in order to prove a point!

  Martyrdom at its finest!

  Added to my last post:

  Not that I agree that it should have happened mind you! There were far better ways for the govt to act against the society as many have already stated.

  Banning will just reinforce the persecution complex and make witnesses more determined! The average witness will NOT look at the very valid reasons WHY the society has been classed as "extremist". They will simply be emboldened in their devotion to the society...

  If you poke a bear for long enough, eventually it will bite!

  The society has been arrogantly poking at Russia for many, many years.....(including by insinuation during those appalling videos during the 2016 conventions.)

  The Russian Bear has bitten back...

  Once again, we hear of these things quicker via this forum, than through the "correct" channels!

  so at last nights ministry school we had 2...yes that's right two that had parts and gave them with beards.. i found it interesting.

  i thought the consensus was that you couldn't have any extra privileges if you wore one.. maybe the school is different?.

  anyway, anybody else seen this in the u.s.?.

  well, that would be an airer.

  it's all in how we hear the spoken word.

  when a little boy, one fellow thought "world peace" was "whirled peas.

  Love this thread!

  It reminds me of the "intellectual" brother who often spoke of "religion going down in one foul-swoop" (fell swoop)

  As for the OP, I don't care anymore.

  In fact we don't abide by nor respect the rules, arrangements or terms of the society, so how they determine our "standing" is irrelevant.
