I know why I would do in this situation. I would agree that my parents need help and then say that “our church will take up a collection for them” and that “our pastor wil come with me to Hospital to pray with him/her”

Family is now reaping what they sowed and they don't like it.
by Gemmel ini resigned from the jw's in my 20's over 30 years ago, i was immediately shunned by my entire family and it's remained that way with a few exceptions ever since.
one of those exceptions was being contacted by a cousin a few years back and during that conversation i discovered that my mother had been and still was the prime mover in my complete and continuing shunning.
i then used what contacts i had left to confirm it.

JW detained in Putin's Russia ... accused of extremism
by mikeflood infrom bbc news "five jw's from the kirov region detained with about $ 7,500 accused of funding and organizing meetings....they found literature...and two hand granades and a landmine".
the russians are such idiots planting evidence....and quarrelling with the neutral and sheepish jw land...and of course inflamating their persecution complex.

Luke 22
37 For I tell you that what is written must be accomplished in me, namely, ‘He was counted with lawless ones.’ For this is being fulfilled concerning me.” 38 Then they said: “Lord, look! here are two swords.” He said to them: “It is enough.”
49 When those around him saw what was going to happen, they said: “Lord, should we strike with the sword?” 50 One of them even struck the slave of the high priest, taking off his right ear.
Has it not been considered that there are all kinds of groups, and sub groups of those groups, and clinger onners...
It is entirely possible that there are stupid JWs in Russia who don’t really understand how things work and who can have very stupid ideas.
Perhaps individuals who are “weak”, still studying and whose understanding of JWdom was just ‘not there’.. perhaps they came from a military background...
It is certainly possible that some ‘dull knife’ JW had access to some hardware and thinking he was protecting, created this new twist.
What, JWs are brilliant??? And Russian JWs smarter still???

Watchtower is conducting an all out propaganda war against its own constituency.
No organization which has gone down this dark road has survived long.
Hiding it’s own history, telling its own members bigger and bigger lies everyday, hiding its true nature through constant propaganda and fear mongering, threatening and conducting witch hunts within... Watchtower’s days are numbers.
Keep your socks on....

EU Court Ruling Against WT on Data-Protection
by cofty intoday's london times reports on the july ruling of the eu court that forces the organisation country to comply with data protection.. the action originated in finland but the ruling will affect every eu country.
the cult tried unsuccessfully to argue that the notes taken by jws in the door-to-door work were personal and not accessed by the congregation.
the court ruled that they are acting under the auspices of the congregation and therefore they must comply with data-protection laws.. keeping lists of do-not-calls also falls under this ruling.. why does the cult always feel that it is above the law?.

In m early days of JWism, I studied with a young man who “made his stand” and when he first started in the FS, he referred to it as “canvassing”. Interesting, I thought.
The work of JWs is indeed looked upon as a kind of canvassing. However, canvassing, or blanketing the area is not what is really going on. What is really going on is “targeting”.
When politicians come around seeking your vote, they canvass. If they find you, then they ask for your vote. But whether they do or don’t find you, they move on.
Canvas is a sheet and you lay it over top of something in a universal way. You cover...
But what JWs are instrumental in doing is not that.
JWs target.
1) They write down your address, whether you are there or not. If you are there and you take literature, then a record is made and you have been targeted. Your anonymity is gone.
2) If you are not there, then your address is recorded and you have been targeted for a return, to be later the subject of further targeting. (See 1)
If you are home and answer and tell them to go to hell, they will only return to try again, as your address is listed on the broader target of the territory map. (See 1,2, then 1)
Data protection is important.

Adding insult to injury when the WT kicks out a congregation from their hall
by nowwhat? innot only does the organization confiscate the hall the congregation owns.
but then the former congregants are told to continue to pay for utilities and they are still responsible for upkeep and maintenance.
so they still have to cut the grass etc.

Unfortunately, too many JWs are completely “in”...
If the GB could make money off dubs by making them undergo a colonoscopy, then the dubs would line up and have that thing up their backsides and they’d have a smile on their face the whole go round.
