I was appalled and sad to see this happening. My last memorial attendance was in 2003. I left at great cost, still this attack brought tears to my eyes... Those protesters were simply so primitive....

It is kind of funny, but it seems that American JWism is more extreme than its Scandinavian counterpart.
I guess because fundamentalism and religious extremism is way more widespread over there anywhere and
puritanism and prudity have much more support there anyway. -

How do you know that most of the JWs in Eastern Europe are dirt poor? I did read a survey that showed that the level of education among JWs in e.g. Latvia was substantially higher than in the US.-....

Watchtower = Elders can disfellowship people for being too FAT!!! Has this happened?
by Witness 007 inwatch 1974 p.167 "by disobediently overindulging in food and making a glutton of himself, he fails to show love for jehovah...if in the presence of others does he selfishly ignore there needs and take more than his share?
is he grossly overwieght but shows no restraint at all as to food, habitually gorging himself?
does he feel un-comfortable, perhaps even sick because of eating too much ...glutton has no place in god's congregation...they will not inherit god's kingdom...".

Once again an American phenomenon... Scandinavian JWs are not at all fatter than the general population, perhaps vice versa.

I found this interesting information in the 2010 Report on International Religious Freedom
«The government has taken steps to integrate non-Catholic religious groups through the Foundation for Pluralism and Coexistence. The foundation provides funds to minority and religious groups to promote religious freedom and dialogue. According to the MOJ, in 2009 the foundation provided funds to 587 projects that represented 527 religious entities (269 Muslims, 239 Protestant, and 19 Jewish). This represented a 7.7 percent increase from 2008.
The foundation's funds, $6.2 million (5 million euro) in 2010, are used for cultural, educational, and social integration programs (not religious activities). The foundation's board of directors includes representatives of most government ministries as well as members of concerned religious groups themselves. In 2009 the board admitted representatives from the Mormon, Buddhist, and Jehovah's Witness communities. Beyond providing support and various seminars, the foundation published studies on religious minorities throughout the country. In addition, the foundation funded the book Discover Islam as a textbook for Muslim students in primary education. The foundation also hosts sports activities and provides language training and youth tutoring classes, all within the local communities. Muslim and Protestant leaders continue to cite the foundation's work as a positive step for integrating non-Catholic religious groups into mainstream society. In 2009, for example, the Foundation organized 18 training seminars in different regions of the country and financed 22 seminars to promote religious freedom.»
Does anyone now whether the JWs accepted its admittance or if they declined participating in the Foundations work?
