Good day to you too Morpheus.
I have to question why my post displays any ignorance regarding the difference between Serbia and Russia. I am well aware of the history of Europe and specifically, in this case, the Balkan states. I certainly am fully aware of how Yugoslavia was a puppet state of the Soviet (by which we essentially mean Russian) post WW2 empire and agree with the sentiment of your political point however I am sure we can agree that geographically Serbia has never been part of Russia.
Now you have explained yourself more clearly I can see the point of your post. I guess therefore we arguing a technicality regarding the political/cultural/geographic aspects of this story - the bits that don't really matter in the context of this thread.
To that end, as you say, we do actually agree on the key issues.
Hurrah for unity!

Firstly it's Serbia, not Russia.
Secondly, it is tabloid journalism but not indicative of a communist history, far more like sensationalist nonsense common to the worst of the Western red tops.
Thirdly, the reporting is poor, sensationalist and undoubtedly unbalanced however the continued pressure that the WTS society places on it's adherents to make the stark choice between life and death even when dealing with young innocents such as this provides the perfect foundation for this type of story. It's the WTS that is to blame for perpetuating the cult mentality that means even parents of a new baby will put loyalty to doctrine as their highest priority.

does anyone know this guy, where he came from?

how he climbed the jw ladder, i have to say i know nothing about him but he seems to be kicking ass with the problems in the north of england..

He was toxic Jook. The COs I have known over the years have all been a mix, some OK, some two faced, some smarmy, some performers but overall all manageable. The best you had a laugh with, the worst you could ignore. Rose is a class of his own. He hates apostates. He hates elders and MS who don't do the hours. He hates those clearly capable of playing the game. He is vengeful, spiteful, without mercy and simply a nasty piece of work.

I hardly spoke to him the three years he was in Sussex, in fact I think he was missing for at least 50% of the time doing other more important things with schools elsewhere. I know it was a stand in who spoke to me the visit after I stepped down because of the bile that spewed from his mouth during his first elders and MS meeting with us.

I don't know if he served on the IOW but I don't think he hails from there. I recall he is from the Midlands I think but could be wrong, doesn't have a southern English accent, that's for sure.

I'd have felt really bad. One of the tops guys in the org. Come over to Russia all "we love you, we are supporting you" then hot footing it out of there as soon as it goes tits up with a "keep warm and well fed".

The Russian visa application asks if you are a member of any banned organisations so not surprised he legged it. Perhaps he should have asked the question "what would Jesus do?"
