Pentecostals and religions other than the Russian Orthodox Church are being persecuted even to the point of having their buildings destroyed and being put in catch-22 predicaments.
Thanks, So this persecution is not directed at WT only.

Is this really happening? Can any non JW.Org people verify that this is happening? If real, is this also happening to other religions in this area?
There seems to be so many surveillance camera's operating with these so called planters doing this action in full view of these cameras. Would they not remove the video recorders or tapes?
They have there heads covered to avoid identification but its OK to plant banned stuff in full camera view. Sounds like the only reason they broke in is to plant banned stuff and then have the police find it. If genuine, would you not plant these banned items in such a way that no one could tell, and with no chance of cameras recording it. That guy looks to be doing it in such a way that he wants the camera to catch him.
Sorry, I am a bit skeptical when it come to this sort of behavior.
i heard my hard out jw sister say that for the 1st time in many years and i'm hearing more and more jw's saying that.
years ago when i was in they talked about the new system coming any minute..
You are right, when I joined in the late 80's, we were already deep, deep, deep in the time of the end. Unlikely to get the the year 2000 said one Watchtower back then.
But as I am told now by my relatives who are JW.org followers, "There is more new light now than back then, this time we are truly deep, deep in the time of the end, and this system will end any day now".
It doesn't help when we have a CO tell us from the stage that "It is an inspired expression of error to not believe the end will come in our lifetime".
i was just doing my midweek studying...reading god's kingdom rules book...so far has anyone noticed many of the stories mention australia.
page 73 a momentous convention...a convention was held in july of 1931 & it was transmitted via more than 450 radio stations in australia, etc....they seem to mention australia more & more in the wt, books, etc.
this is a set-up...keep on watch...this book is being studied at this time for a reason...how timely.
God's Kingdom Rules book was first published in 2014, wasn't the ARC in 2015?
had our midweek meeting last night.
they had a resolution to send an extra (i wanna say $1100 but i only remember it was at least $1000) per month to forward the kingdom preaching work etc.. you know how they work in the kh...no one votes against anything.
i abstained as i almost have always done.
What happens if that amount is not sent one month, are they then in the red?
Well this happened to our congregation recently. Elders brought a gazebo for shade while cart witnessing, new carts and some kh maintaince. Using the donated money, but it meant that month we sent under our monthly branch payment. What happened? We had read out to us from the stage a very rude letter from the branch telling that we need to make sure that we meet our monthly payments, making sure our yes means yes etc. Absolutely no sign of Christian forgiveness from them because we couldn't find enough money for that month. Disgusting.
during my time in the jws there was a friend i had known since i was a small child.
he was an elder's son and around my age.
he would often instigate the game of "tag" after the meetings.
One of my jw friends did themselves in, in the same way as yours. They didnt get a kh funeral but an elder took the service at a funeral house. Also it now sounds like that these ones will get a resurrection from his talk, something about them not thinking straight at the time they died.
i was doing some research and noticed that the baptism questions were changed several times over the years.
the questions in 1973 were as follows: *** w73 5/1 280 baptizing follows discipling *** if you feel the same about serving jehovah god and taking christs yoke upon you, we suggest that you consider the following two questions, which are asked of candidates for baptism:.
(1) have you repented of your sins and turned around, recognizing yourself before jehovah god as a condemned sinner who needs salvation, and have you acknowledged to him that this salvation proceeds from him, the father, through his son jesus christ?
Where is the opening poster "Beans" these days? He was very active on here 10 to 15 years, but nothing in the last 10 years.
i remember a roman catholic priest acknowledging on the bbc that the outrageously anti-clerical tv comedy father ted was a humorous mocking of his church but an acceptable thing.. try mocking the jw religion to a believer and the result is so very different.. just why is it that jehovah's witnesses can never take even the faintest hint of criticism of their religion?.
so if the gb changed its "bible based beliefs" on some teaching, would witnesses all of a sudden change their individual beliefs too?.
witnesses like to claim that "their bible trained hearts and minds" make them believe as they do, but we know that the reality is that all witnesses hold their "deep seated beliefs" according to what they have been told to believe.. so what would cause the average witness to question those that dictate their "personal convictions"??.
thoughts?.
Nothing will make the average JW wakeup. Simply because most JW's dont see any difference between Jehovah and the faithful slave, and in some things they show more fear in the words from the faithful slave (GB). For instance the faithful slave say don't grow a beard, the need to report your time each month, the end is near etc, and most witness's will follow these very things. Meanwhile Jehovah says not to gossip (Proverbs 20:19), get drunk (Ephesians 5:18), don't listen to anyone that says the end is near, (Luke 21: 7 - 8) and yet this is what a lot of Witness's do.
well how's it going round your way?
massive increase of interested ones?
did you even know it was supposed to be happening?
And don't forget. The WT study 2 weeks ago informed us that they need more brothers stepping in to take the lead due to the increasing numbers coming to meetings.
