  Russian award story in the St. Lucia Times. Almost 80 comments at the end! Pretty heated stuff.

  some of the pro-jws are comparing the award reception to that of shadrach, messach, and abendego.

  therefore excusing it as perfectly acceptable in the eyes of god.

  that just seems a bit of a stretch to me, given that the jws talk about political neutrality, ect.

  Why give the award to a Jehovah's Witness couple though? Surely there must be other non-jw parents with exceptionally good parenting skills.

  from the article, "the judge concluded that there was a risk of the youngster suffering "emotional damage" if he was taken to to jehovah's witness assemblies, annual conventions and memorials.".

  Good call. Although i have to agree with rainbow, 12 is still very much an impressionable age, 18 seems the best bet. I found this line from the article particularly disturbing,

  "The boy's mother had raised concern about the boy being harmed by his father's religious beliefs and had told the judge how her son had once told her "God is good and you are bad"

  Biased report of JW trial in Russia

  i'm pretty sure most of us are keenly following the trial in russia via twitter or perhaps some other means, and are awaiting the results of the trial.

  after the weekend, and what i presume to be a memorial break, the hearings resumed today.

  i noticed however that unlike previous days, when it finally got to the prosecutor's moment to examine 4 ex-witnesses testimony on extremist behavior, the twitter feed relaying the trial information "suddenly" lost contact.

  Thanks @Damascus and Steve2, notice how more detailed your links are than the filtered crap they posted on twitter?

I'm referring to this guy in particular https://mobile.twitter.com/SimonBotes?max_id=852182695388082175 and the JW Russian website he reports from. Does anyone else find this a tad bit weird? Does it seem like selective information about the JW trial in Russia is being let out? Your views #tiredandangryjw
