i have just been looking at jw news about the ban of jws.
they are complaining about how unfair the judicial process was.
ironic.
Its now a month since attorneys letter was issued to the JC that wished to "liquidate" me. The letter informed them that the attorney would be present at the JC and required a list of details and evidence prior to the JC etc. I would recommend you do this if in the same boat. Letter also warned of further action if any gossip or slander occurred and if any sort of announcement was made that cast "my client " in a bad light.
Don't be bullied !
i just watched the live feed from the russian court room and followed the updates on the russian exjw forum.. just waiting for confirmation from other sources...but, it looks like the final (and expected) result is:.
banned.
which means that the wts property in russia now belongs to the russian state..

Russia's Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that Jehovah's Witnesses was an "extremist" organization after the justice ministry applied for an order to shut down the group's national headquarters near St Petersburg, Russian news agencies reported.
Russian authorities have put several of the group's publications on a list of banned extremist literature, and prosecutors have long cast it as an organization that destroys families, fosters hatred and threatens lives, a description the organization says is false.

did anybody (who went to the memorial) notice the opening song?.
keep in mind that this is the most important night of the year for the witnesses.
it is supposed to be all about jesus christ.
That is so Apostate [by their own definition] and idolatrous ! Wow that's put a crappy taste in the mouth !
i heard recently that there was a talk given at the kh about having a 'go bag' ready because the big 'a' must be soooo close as evidenced by syria and the russian jobo thing.. does anyone know if this 'go bag' thing is substantiated in publications or just a local nut job being paranoid and attention seeking?.
i also wonder about this 'go bag' thing, apparently, you need to make sure your biscuits (that's cookies to my over the pond friends), are not out of date.
don't carry water, it's too heavy.. too many questions do i have.
The Big A is underway and you have a go bag to go ......where?
Oh you are waiting for an SMS or Tweet to inform you! .........but all the telecom facilities are down / kaput ! And the roads are blocked and there are no trains and buses and soldiers everywhere .....no .....this is the Big A .....they are all morte right ? Go bags are for the Great T ....no? Yes? Is the Great T the Great A ? Um ......Just what will the situation be like ? Like the artwork in the WT magazines? ....????? You will be in a bunker?
this is the kind of government you are supporting.. over 100 gay men have been sent to concentration camps for homosexuals in chechnya and three people have been killed.. stop supporting fascism.. if you support the russia jw ban, what other thoughts and beliefs are you ok with policing?.
if you support the jw russia ban, have you read george orwell's 1984?
don't you realize you are advocating for literal fascism when you support the banning of a belief system?
I don't understand your "reasoning" at all !
By support of Russia ...what do you mean? What constitutes support of Russia?
I cant stand Putin but I love my Russian friends dearly! Is that support ?
Should I have written letters to Putin?
JW's condemn religions and governments and openly claim to be Gods ONLY channel on earth today. But when there arses are on the line they go running off to these Govts for support of their cause ! " Excuse me ......as you know you are going to get destroyed at Armageddon but in the interim could you just pull a few strings for us with Putin so we can save our asses and assets ? " ......
And who are you to go calling and accusing the people visiting here as Fascist?
What about the JW children in Russia ? Well what about the abused children within the JW Org that got and get Nada support from JW HQ !
Charity begins at home Granma would say !

Oh dear.........have no fear .......Sir Richard is here ........now he is going to defend a nutter. I really thought that most reading this would see that this report was about a delusional pitifully insane man - wasting precious high-court time ! I have not implied anything anti-JW by posting this - Just that it is so sadly funny ! His demands for one !
Now have JW's ever said or done anything delusional and nutty in the past ? and until now?
i'm at the stage where i'd love a big scandal to come along showing clearly that the j.w's are not the true religion, but sometimes i get touched inside by various thoughts or events, the russian court trial being one of them.. i mean, j.w's are understandably fixated with attending the memorial, so why didn't the court say it will resume on monday or tuesday, instead setting wednesday 12 april as the date?
part of me believes the comments from pro-j.w's that jehovah moved events so they could attend the memorial.. it seems the j.w's will not be banned, which makes my mind and heart wrestle between thinking jah's behind it, or maybe the ministry of justice is just woefully prepared compared to the superb australian royal commission team who did their homework.
it surprises me the russians seemingly haven't done any homework..
You are really having "doubts" about your doubts ? The choice has always been yours whether to leave or stay -
Is the memorial as celebrated by JW's scriptural / logical ? Can you answer that for yourself?

This has been a really crazy week in South Africa as it is ! But this one tops some of the lunacy !
