fyi:.
the 16-18 of june 2022 in quebec city, laval university, canada, there will be a conference organized by cult apologists cesnur (european) and info-cult/info-sectes (canadian).
some famous cult apologists (massimo introvigne) will be there and some jw mid range leader from ontario david docksteader too.
Nothing wrong with 'Apologia' if it's honest and in good faith.
Of course 'Dracula boy' tends to have a perspective based on who is funding him.
And the JW representatives at the conference will probably speak out of both sides of their mouths.
Info-cult is not a pro-cult movement though. I expect they will keep the actual cultists in line. The Q&A sessions might be interesting, if they have any.
But hang on, I thought JWs didn't engage in 'interfaith' activities which surely this is?
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.. .
.
The Russian authorities have some valid concerns about the JWs.
But their police state methods are possibly what made the Court rule as it did.
But then there's this: (source Russia ceases to be a Party to the European Convention on Human Rights on 16 September 2022 - Newsroom (coe.int) )
Following its expulsion from the Council of Europe on 16 March 2022, the Russian Federation will cease to be a High Contracting Party to the European Convention on Human Rights on 16 September 2022.

The latest video 'my girlfriend wants me to start studying' watch his right shoulder around the 8 minute mark for some clear outline type artifact effects. Although the effect is there throughout.
Of course it may not be a green screen. It may be a blue screen.

scientist tell us there is enough atomic energy in one finger nail to propell a battleship.
the people of the future may carry some of this power with them.
Sisters would of course be discouraged from flying, as there might be circumstances when the sight of a sister floating overhead would stumble the brothers, as you can imagine.
Suitably qualified elders would no doubt be deployed to take 'upskirt' photos as evidence of brazen conduct.

The text is evidently a prophecy relating to watchtower:
Cursed, cursed, cursed.
and was likely composed with today's true worshippers in mind:
cursed by God YHW
It seems to speak directly to those who remain loyal to the end:
You shall die cursed.

I guess right now this story has as much chance of being mentioned on Lloyd Evans' channel as it does on jw.org, eh.

I can't help thinking the ones most enthusiastic about this are the paedophiles.
{brother ?, a copy of this is being passed around here in bristol, kent, london, etc.
to “certain” elders by way of heads up.
feel free to ignore it or investigate it.
Yes indeed, all the congregations I looked up now show 'removed charity', and the Registration History of a couple of them (likely to be representative of all, I guess) shows this:
