  BREAKING. European Court rules for Jehovah's Witnesses in long-awaited "extremism" case

  by Corney in

  in 6-1 judgment, the ecthr found that the forced dissolution of jehovah’s witnesses religious organisations in russia, the banning of their religious literature and international website on charges of extremism, the revocation of the permit to distribute religious magazines, the criminal prosecution of individual jehovah’s witnesses, and the confiscation of their property unlawfully interfered with their human rights.

  the only dissenting judge is apparently mikhail lobov, who was nominated by the russian government.. .

  so my in-laws actually went out to dinner with us today.

  normally, since leaving in 2016, they wouldn’t eat with us or talk much to me.

  (since i did convince their daughter to leave the cult).

  The contact information is for emergencies. The local elders will be able to check on the welfare of anyone who had to evacuate. Theoretically just like any other aid organization.

  They finally realize all our extended families are not JW, and may well be in a better position to takec us in.

  At Katrina they did not know where a lot of people disappeared to. I also suspect some of that diaspora used it to leave da troof

  my mom has been on the fence for awhile.

  she has done a laundry list for watchtower.

  so i asked her, would you continue to invest in a company that promises outrageous dividends but never delivers?

  How old? How much other family away from the hall? The thing to watch is her investment in friends and social structure. If she voices too much what will happen?

  my nephew called me sunday night to tell me that his nine year old son was giving his first talk.

  he gave me the zoom i.d.. and password for his congregations in-person tuesday night meeting.. i haven't been to any meetings in nine years.

  many things have changed.

  There is a slight gain in learning how to contain stage fright, and face an audience. There is no school in the school any more. If you watched the other parts you notice there is nothing resembling real life.

  When I touch my tablet it goes odd places, so that part was good.

  Sometimes the 9 year old reads better than the instructor.
