It's a political process.
Not good for the freedom of living in Russia.
Way overdone.

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..

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.?.
Come on guys, it's nature!
It is designed by the great designer.
Why go against what is designed?

Ehh why Android has no smiley with a beard?

just viewed a documentary about north korea, on netflix, called the propaganda game.. interesting: .
- north korean people have a kingdom smile;.
- the jughe doctrine is made that way that it can't be understanded.
Yes, thanks.
I think, paradise on earth (JW version) will be a kind of North Korea.
Brrrrr.

It's all about a cole deal between US and China. And import rate's.
China halted buying cole from NK this week for sanctioning Kim and had got a good deal from Donald.
A win win situation for the USA.
That's how politics work.

don't know which saturday it is but it's an open house for the surrounding community.
while on the your tour group , ask tough questions about the organization's policies on pedophiles and shunning.
do this as a concerned citizen and not a "raging apostate" .
It would be nice to dress like Jesus and say "Here I am, you are expecting me for so long, thanks for taking care of my belongings, my brothers! You can take some rest now, I take this cross again on me!".
See what happens.

dear all,.
i have been a member here for some years although mostly in the background.
many of you have bravely shared your own experiences and i am very grateful for that but i have never been open about my own experience.. nevertheless, i would be very grateful to those of you who would now take the time to read about my own personal journey from the jw religion and the circumstances that caused me to abandon that way of life and how i landed up where i am.
Keep strong! Take care for your children and your self!

non jw so thank you for bearing with me.
do special talks happen with individual congregations or is it throughout?
i was told by my husband that i had to go with him and the rest of his family to the special talk that was happening this weekend.
Nothing special.
It was somehow overdone. Kind of decleration that JW do not violate, hate and take revenge.
Maybe for use in the court. See how we educate our flock. Not guilty your honour.

how many times did you hear that gem?
it often went along with "the truth is a protection" which is their way of saying "living a moral life is good for you ... and you can't do that without us".. but think about what people are really saying.
i think the real message is "i know it's not the truth, but i chose to follow it anyway".. it seems like a pre-emptive argument because they know they can't defend it as "the truth" so instead they switch to defending it as a lifestyle.. of course any kind of lifestyle that has a decent moral ingredient to it, respect for law and order, discipline etc... probably increases people's chances of doing better in life, but they don't have a monopoly on it.. so just remember, next time you hear someone saying "even if it's not the truth" what they are really admitting is that they already know it isn't..
The resoning is the same logica:
"Hitler was not that good but he protected Europe prevented it for taking over by communist."

did anybody (who went to the memorial) notice the opening song?.
keep in mind that this is the most important night of the year for the witnesses.
it is supposed to be all about jesus christ.
So sad, this memorial.
No room for the historical Jesus.
A lost evening.
