on april 15, 2019, total of 18 jehovah's witnesses in china were arrested and charged with indictable offences relating to, "using an evil religion organization" to "incite the obstruction of law enforcement," and one charge relating to, "obstructing law enforcement by organizing and using an evil religious organization.".
since the arrests, the governing body of jehovah's witnesses have remained silent on the plight of these 18 jehovah's witnesses in china.. link to translation of indictment:.
https://jwleaks.org/2019/07/09/china-crisis-for-jehovahs-witnesses-18-members-indicted/.
Article 300 of the Criminal Code of China has sanctions from 3 to 7 years in prison. Aggravating circumstances suggest 7 or more years.
So, 18 people will be guaranteed to sit, but GB is silent. Goats! Does anyone else have doubts that their priority is the US state interests?

they are legit.
looks like an upscale commercial bldg.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there are additional beams in the structure of the building, which make it easy to make gates instead of windows.
Сar service ready) Standard is not much different
this is quite incredible.during his talk, the branch overseer, made a special talk dedicated to the apostates.. he clearly emphasis his point, "apostates used to be between us, really you can talk with apostates, those people are good, of course their point of vue is different than ours now but they are mostly very nice poeple, and you shouldn't be afraid to talk with them.
"though as usual, the reaction of the brothers was quite the same, impassive, i was very surprise by this statement.i cannot assume if this is just a one man step ahead towards the apostates, or really a change in their policies, this came from the mouth of a branch overseer.of course, for obvious reason, i won't give the name of the brother, which is famous, but only here in an central european country.i would have expected him to quote more scriptures, but he didn't, he could have use the one for jesus himself :"you should love your enemies", as apostates were really the "enemies" for the wtbs for such a long time, maybe now that the king of the north is awaken, apostates are not so bad after all ?
just wondering....
Not news, but food for thought.
When two independent sources talk about one thing, it means something! Maybe tomorrow will be the third, and the fourth day after tomorrow)

Sorry, but for now it is not possible to assert anything. Neither fake nor truth.
Time will tell!
If the overseer is already openly speaking, it means it’s not long to wait)

It becomes like the truth.
what prompted this topic was a dream i had last night where i was engaged in a conversation i had with an old friend where i was trying to prove where the jw`s were wrong from their own bible.. and this is not the first time i have had such dreams.. often times i have had dreams about people i have known in the religion .. remember i have been away from the religion for more than 26 years now and in a totally different part of the country .. i now wonder if any of them ever dream about my wife and i ?
but that`s something i`ll never know.. do any of you have any such experiences ?.
maybe i`m spending too much time on this site lol.
Yes! I often see in the dreams my friends remaining JW!
I am sure that they see me sometimes too.

in this video, v.kalin talks, that "he read" crisis of conscience "and the book is kept in his safe!".
if someone does not know, kalin is the coordinator of the branch committee in russia.. https://youtu.be/qh4vdhr0ooy.
is it clear why jehovah turned away from the russian jw?.
Officially, they did not voice information on the formal status of the branch committee of the Russian Federation. Therefore, neither one nor the other can be asserted. What to argue about? Vasya book of Frenz took with him to Estonia or not, I wonder?
daniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.
family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.
set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.
You are welcome! Where can I download this movie? I did not find!

it is incorrect to refer to this man as the coordinator of the branch committee in Russia. Legally and logistically it would be foolhardy to announce named individuals in such roles
The video is worth the date 2001.
The country branch committee, as far as I know, has not been disbanded. He just moved to the Estonian branch and from there directs the activities of JW in Russia. Therefore, it is quite correct to continue the consist of the committee to consider as a committee.
About burning Kalina on Red Square, of course I was joking)
Or maybe not? Every joke has some truth.
