  More similarities with Cuba:

  The Jehovah’s Witnesses were an insignificant minority but they over estimated their importance and displayed a belligerent attitude, it was known that this was a US based religion and an easy target to connect them with the CIA. The WT acted like it was business as usual, during the early times of the revolution an Awake magazine came out with the title “Soviet world master plan for world conquer” and it was pure anti communist propaganda.

  Please remember that the old Soviet Union had a wealth of experience dealing with the WT. Under persecution the meetings were limited to groups of about 8-10 people gathered like for a social get together. The limitation for families only will take care of that.

  Most likely the State will have neighborhood watchers checking any JW suspicious activity.

  as far as i know, i did a search, and you may not know this but, the last song play during a music video of the regional convention, was not of watchtower.

  it's stolen from a group called audiomachine off their album epica.

  the song is called eternal flame and it is exactly and i mean, note for note the same as the music video.

  the way that the wt conducts business in russia, hiding ownership of property and moving money overseas, was a large factor in the jws falling afoul of the russian authorities.

  it wasn't just 'extremist' views that came into play, it was also their handling of money that was illegal.. this article is from a russian news source - i had to use google translate to read it, so i have copied and pasted the whole article (i usually don't...apologies to the author of the article).

  if someone has russian language skills, please feel welcome to offer a better translation.. .

  There is a procedure in place for this type of situation:

  They will pick and elderly brother in good standing, with no personal assets. He will become the legal face of the entity or congregation, he will be just a prop. If something really, really bad happens he is the "sacrificial lamb".

  This method has been tried over and over and it seems to work not that well.

  Jehovah Witnesses Refutes Claim of Registration Condemnation

  

  Paynesville - The Jehovah Witnesses Congregation in Liberia has denied reports in the public that they have condemned the voters registration exercise.

  In an interview with FrontPage Africa on Wednesday, March 1, 2017, Thomas Nyain, communications officer, of the Jehovah Witnesses Congregation in Liberia said at no time did the organization condemn the exercise since it began.

  “We teach the Bible and we encourage people to apply Bible principles to better their lives,” he said.

  “We don’t get involved in political activities so anybody that who say that witnesses in Liberia condemned the voters registration exercise, then I don’t know where do they get their information from, because I speak for Jehovah witnesses in Liberia and since I don’t utter these words, it means that I am not aware of such information. The witnesses in Liberia have a central media outlet, and I am the one that speak for them.

  According to Thomas Nyain the information is misleading and far from the truth, something he described as fabrication to mark the image of his noble institution.

  He said one of the major challenges being faced by the organization is reaching the gospel out to Liberians in the remotest part of the country.

  “One of our major challenges is to get to the deeper part of Liberia, where people haven’t heard anything about the Bible, not sitting and worrying about fabrication from people who are not aware of activities. We will be happy if everyone in Liberia accepts the truth about the Bible through our teaching.

  He called on every Liberian to take interest in reading their biblical materials that have been translated in the various dialects.

  The WT is also fighting against the "resistance"; that is providing the authorities with the tools needed to understand the operating procedures of the Organization.

  After the problems with Rutherford and the other incarcerated friends, Henschel is the highest JW involved in an incident like this. At that time he was a member of the Board of Directors, very similar to the GB.

  To me it is surprising to know that this happened in Liberia since this is mostly a US controlled country, started with a good deal of ex slaves from the US. Maybe that was the reason for the fast reversal that took less than a year to materialize.

  The Cuban experience:

  It was illegal to send money out of the country, the Society was using friendly diplomats and brothers that had connections at the Guantanamo base to do these transactions; they were more interested in getting the money to Brooklyn than the welfare of the local brothers.
