  From today's (27 September 2016) print edition of the Spanish language El Periódico - both the front page and the double page spread on pages 28 and 29
  

  This Spanish newspaper prints two editions - in Spanish and Catalan - seemingly with the exact same articles and layouts etc - according to Wikipedia it has a combined print circulation of both languages of around 125,000 making it the fifth biggest print circulation in Spain which has a population of around 46 million.

  (actually, that print circulation figure seems rather low for the 5th largest circulation?)

  The print edition includes a copy of the letter which you can read here:

  i'm quite surprised about the new approach of some local congregation brothers respect about my fade.... funny, ilegal and very dangerous in view of the different laws regarding personal data and minorities in spain and in the eu.... i already organized a press meeting with main newspapers in spain.

  many has shown interest in this situation.

  the fact of that a parallel judicial system do exist is amazing them.

  Hi AndersonsInfo

  it will be online early in the morning of Monday 26, in the online edition.
  

  ?

  anyone found it on their website yet?

  it's now 2.30pm in the afternoon in Spain....
  

  where did this 'announcement' about the article come from?

  the elections would have been known about, so would have been slotted into the news cycle?

  or may be they are burying the article under the elections??

  Tell me if I'm right or wrong

  jws say they can go anywhere in the world and they " know" that they would be shown hospitality from their fellow brothers.

  of all my years as a jw i found this wasn't the case.

  i honestly believe that if i turned up at any of my fellow apostates on here house and said hi i'm chook can we have a coffee, the response would be how many sugars..

  An hour ago I went to bid good bye my two brothers in law and their wives (all elders/elderettes). They were invited to the special assembly in Puerto Rico this coming weekend.

  Here's a video - don't believe it's been posted here yet - it's 80 minutes long and focuses on the entertainment and hospitality

  Hi joe134cd!
  
  

  The law also requires military service in times of war. Are we just following a formality because Ceasars
  

  yeah, it's a very slippery slope.....

  Interesting that Chile isn't like a 'small' country for JWs

  It has 75,000 publishers, a ratio of 1-in-236 - I really do wonder what the rank and file think about it.

  It would be fascinating what the JWs would do if a country like France introduced a similiar law - and let's face, that could happen.....

  Hi ILoveTTATT2!

  If the law requires you to put a flag... that's ok. If the law requires you to hold a flag... that's not ok.

  They would say that merely placing the flag on a building is not a ceremony.

  Many public buildings have national flags on them, raised and lowered by a caretaker with no ceremony.

  The problem is if it is some kind ceremony - holding or placing a flag so others can salute it is being part of a ceremony.

  Does anyone walk by the flag on the KHs and salute it? Any uniformed soldiers for example?

  Hey joe134cd!

  If anyone thinks that hanging it isn't worshiping it, then my suggestion would be go hang a flag ( and by extention of that a Christmas tree) out side your house and see what sort of reaction you get from the local JWS.

  No, the issue is what is caesar's law?

  The vast majority of countries do not have a law that requires non-governmental public buildings (or, indeed private houses) to display the flag:

  • In Austria in 1938 there was a law requiring the display of the flag
  • In Chile there is a law requiring the displaying of the flag on non-governmental public buildings on one-day-a-year.
  • There is NO law requiring the display of the flag on your house in your country.

  That's the difference.

  Don't get me wrong - I do think it is an issue - but you gotta make sure it is the right issue - actually I'm kinda surprised they don't get the CO's to strongly lean on congregations at least 'off-the-record.'
  

  It may be the law that your private car number plate needs to display the flag of the country you are from - that is OK

  If I put a flag sticker on my car - not required by law - that would not be allowable for JWs
