This a terrible thing. Reminds one of the Stalin era.

my facebook was "lit up" today with all the out cries about the possibility of the organization's website being banned in russia.. as many of you recall this past august a court in russia banned the website and sought to make accessing the website in russia illegal.
well tomorrow the appeal by the org will be heard in court.
if the appeal is denied, jw.org will no longer be available in that part of the world, causing endless lamentations and cries of "persecution", only to bolster the idea that they are truly hated by the world because they are true christians.
This a terrible thing. Reminds one of the Stalin era.

i'd like to get comments from people about whether and how much they were shocked, surprised, or otherwise bothered by the watchtower society's becoming an associated non-governmental organization (ngo).. note that i'd like to see these comments because they might lead to some interesting publicity, so please comment accordingly.. alanf
To this day many rank and file JW's do not know about the UN NGO issue. Very sad.

If WW1 had not taken place,the WT would likely have withered and died.

Do you think that they really mean this [the highlighted portion]? Or is this a case of invisible subtext: "when and as such relief is accomplished by the advent of God's kingdom, following our 'charitable' witnessing work."
You seem to have got it right,Valkyrie.
