European Court to favor the WT and condemns the French goverment
by Nick! inthis news was announced today on the journal "le monde": http://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2011/06/30/temoins-de-jehovah-la-cour-europeenne-des-droits-de-l-homme-condamne-la-france_1543102_3224.html#xtor=rss-3208.
unfortunately, the european court of human rights has just condemned the french government against jehovahs witnesses.
if you recall, the french state was claiming 23 million euro (abt 33 million us dollars) taxes on contributions received by the french watchtower during the years 1993-96, which, by now, had climbed to about 58 million euro (abt 83 million us dollars) counting interests and charges.. it is not easy to size the wt.

According to the PR site of the Watchtower, the following is stated: Throughout this case, Jehovah’s Witnesses argued that the discriminatory taxation had been imposed with the purpose to cripple the worship practiced by over 123,000 of Jehovah’s Witnesses in France. It was one of the many steps taken by anti-sect parliamentarians to mischaracterize and marginalize Jehovah’s Witnesses. Today’s decision by the court sends a strong message to the government of France that it must uphold the right to religious freedom for all its citizens.
The newspaper has obviously used the memorial attendance as a reflection of the number of adherents.

by jwfacts inthere is a smurf movie coming in july.
http://www.smurfhappens.com/ they look like the avatar in miniature.. do you think this time around jws will be able to see it, or are they still considered demonised?
will there be a new generation of kids hearing about smurfs running out of kingdom halls, and will they be told about it by the overlapping generation?.

When Charles and Diana got married in 1981, Awake! ran a number of articles on the Future of the British Monarchy, with drawings of the married couple.
Diana was also in Awake another time, I think it was on an issue dealing with land mines. I remember it well.

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....
