does anyone have the factual information concerning the jw's in romania?

i believe there were many witnesses serving under ban in romania for years and years while the communists were in power.

then in 1989 when the country revolted against ceausescu and communism was overthrown, the ban on the witnesses was lifted and they could now worship freely.

hi folks.

i am new to this board and since i am currently undergoing bible study with a jw elder, thought it would be a good idea to expose myself to other viewpoints on what i am learning from him.. a while ago i read "should you believe in the trininty".

having had a barely adequate education, i knew a lot of the names of the father's cited therein but had never really read anything they wrote.

Emerson (That's Me) Urges Forming House Bible Groups To Replace Watchtower

greetings to all readers of good will,

i'm mason emerson (nicknamed "joe") and as a yahoo.com group i put the following on some websites there to encourage interested readers (exjws or others) to go ahead and form independent nonwatchtower groups for bible fellowship which can meet in homes instead of in kingdom halls.

i see myself as a catalyst for action by others, not a founder of groups or a sole leader of them, especially given my current health.
