Do you have another source on this? The Daily Mail is pretty much the National Enquirer.

24 may 2016. russia: jehovah's witnesses face possible liquidation.

by victoria arnold, forum 18. if prosecutors proceed with their threat to liquidate the jehovah's witness headquarters near st petersburg, thousands of local congregations across russia could also face prohibition of their activities and individuals could be vulnerable to criminal charges for expressing their beliefs, forum 18 notes.. the jehovah's witnesses' principal body in russia is under threat of dissolution as an "extremist" organisation after the deadline in an official warning from the general prosecutor's office expired on 10 may, forum 18 notes.

"individuals could be vulnerable to criminal charges for expressing their beliefs."

After reading that, how the hell can anyone support this? How do you all feel about what Russia is doing to gay people? They're basically doing the same thing, making it criminal to be gay.

I'm not a huge fan of the WTS, but rank and file publishers shouldn't be treated as criminals for what they believe or expressing them.

Russia's human rights record is abysmal.

"The Bunker" WT Conventions 2016 (Gag Me)

by Poztate in

in the very near future the gang will be down in a bunker,cellar awaiting the police,military to break in and take them away to camps or executions .

(paranoid much) this is the foretold "prophecy" of the governments turning on religion and saving them for last.since the couple portrayed as simplifying their life by getting rid of a lot of material things is shown to be (about) the same age in the bunker we know it must be any minute now that it will happen.

i have been out for over 35 years and things seem to be getting more bizarre each year.. when did this doctrine really become main stream?

Barrold Bonds

I'm going to a convention this weekend. I'll try to get video footage of this bunker shit. Should be a real hoot.

exjwlemming: Go bags really aren't a JW thing. The federal government and FEMA strongly recommend people keep them, especially those that live in disaster prone areas. I recall announcements about them were made shortly after Hurricane Katrina, which sorta woke people up in regards to natural disasters in the US.

Of course, JW's go overboard and speculate on every little thing.

May 21, 2016 TO ALL CONGREGATIONS Re: Annual Items for 2017

may 21, 2016 to all congregations re: annual items for 2017.

I haven't used a paper calendar in 15 years. I imagine the majority of people don't anymore because of the ubiquity of smartphones.

It is funny though to think about the talks given once in a while about the importance of the JW calendar. Not that important anymore, though, eh?

Has anyone been outed by jw health care workers?

carrying on from audespare thread.

i was wondering how common it is for a sinner/apostate to be outed by a babbling jw care worker?

say you went to your dr because you were pregnant and unmarried or wanting counseling for having to live a double life as a pretend jw... and a jw secretary at the drs office saw this on your file and went tattling to the elders?.

Sharon had no right to talk anyone out of an abortion and deserved whatever happened to her.

Khaleesi: Any brother can have a mustache. However, here's a fun fact: In the WT publications, you will NEVER ever ever ever ever see a white brother with any sort of mustache. Try it. Dig through any publications you have and try to find one. You can't

The only males with mustaches are non-whites. Hispanic, black, indian, middle-eastern etc. Anyone but a white dude

George Benson & Sheila Hutchinson on JW Broadcasting

by neat blue dog in

i am thoroughly surprised nobody has brought this up yet, but two of the original songs released last year, "i give you my best" & "jehovah welcomes you home" were performed by george benson, and the first one was a duet with singer sheila hutchinson, the same one who did duets with him over 10 years ago for the cancelled album mentioned in our kingdom ministry.

compare this:.

Do you have anything I can read about this? I remember that thing in the KM but I didn't know that was why.
