the supreme court of russia has rejected the jehovah's witnesses' appeal.. https://jw-russia.org/news/17071719-195.html.
july 17, 2017 the supreme court of russia has missed the last chance to restore law and justice for the 175,000 russian citizens professing the religion of jehovah's witnesses.
it took less than an hour of the meeting a panel of three supreme court judges, to leave unchanged the decision taken earlier by the judge yuri ivanenko, the liquidation and ban any and all registered organizations of the religion.since there is no more effective domestic remedies, the believers will appeal to the european court of human rights and other international organizations.. *note: as reported by the jworg source, jw-russia.org.
Yeah I'm glad the Russian government is handling this blight on society and kicking the WT (American) corporation's religious delusional propaganda out of their country. They are clearly a bunch of egotistical nut jobs.
Now if we can only see other governments do the same I'd be happy,, their exploitation of the gullible into servitude needs to be expunged from every country they are so corrupt and demented.

making little or no difference to our daily lives, comes the claim that most of our human genome is not functional.. dan graur an (evolutionary) biologist at the university of houston and other academics made the claim in a paper published in an online journal, genome biology and evolution.. the group's calculations suggest that not more than 25% of the human genome is functional - the rest is seen as 'junk' dna,.

coverage of similar research at the uk's oxford university (reported in the guardian aust.
I'm thinking this junk DNA gets used in the embryo stage of life to follow the evolutionary processes that occurred from a one celled organism to the present multi celled species. I'm thinking encoded in our junk DNA is our entire evolutionary history and these get turned on during different segments of our progression after fertilization to gradually built the entire species to its present mature form.

But in the past few years, the tide has shifted within the field. Recent studies have revealed a wealth of new pieces of noncoding DNA that do seem to be as important to our survival as our more familiar genes. Many of them may encode molecules that help guide our development from a fertilized egg to a healthy adult, for example. If these pieces of noncoding DNA become damaged, we may suffer devastating consequences like brain damage or cancer, depending on what pieces are affected. Large-scale surveys of the genome have led a number of researchers to expect that the human genome will turn out to be even more full of activity than previously thought.

let us consider some examples of fake love.
when satan talked to eve in the garden of eden, what he said made it seem that he wanted the best for her.
Their Corporation Jehovah image is one sick fuck!.
Perhaps they are embarrassed or do not want to disappoint others. (Proverbs 28:13) But hiding the sin is unloving because it harms both the sinner and others. How? Jehovah might stop blessing the congregation with his holy spirit, and the congregation would not have peace. (Ephesians 4:30) So if a Christian commits a serious sin, genuine love will motivate him to speak to the elders and get the help he needs
Threating Jehovah causing chaotic confusion in the congregation until the offender confesses to a secret kangaroo court and is disfelloshipped. What a witch hunt happy bunch the GB are, and "God" what a morbid fellow.

Hey nice discussion! Anyway I'm always trying to examine these things but clearly not the depth of some of our posters so all I can say is: " hey nice discussion".
I think the internet with its easy access to all sorts of information has definitely been at play here with all these informed comments. Cheers to free thinkers not stuck in rut!(imposed by government indoctrination thru the public school system to extreme biased in their favor toward the subject of how to run economies.. Self imposed dumbing down of general population to keep them in power and capitalist happy from more business interest/prospects and the plushy life of living off the land at profit$$$ for them and their wealth.

FTS,
(NK claims to have full employment, so all the males have a job, even if they have no work to do, and even if their salary is worth very little. But the rules are they must turn up at their office/factory every day, anyway)
I think that is a very down side unless they are able do some good, which say an imaginative mind might take advantage of and spend time doing research about what interests him and just stumble on to something rather naturally to benefit his species. Could spawn a lot of great thinkers depending on of course the type of government propaganda one has been subjected to.
I hope the NKs over come adversity and prosper and the US becomes more friendly with them.
I kind a would like to do that. I did it for years because I had enough assets for a decade of more leisure and squandered a good percentage of it doing it. Since the human brain is hard wired to explore sensory input for exploitation which leads to better survival rates for our species, I think such free time could be put good use doing research.
loyalty—part of the new personality (s-341a-18-e 5/17).
note to the circuit overseer:.
use this outline for the tuesday service talk from september 2017 through february 2018. you will need to prepare your own 30-minute service talk for use after the watchtower study.
If you don't rat on your friends to the elders if they do something the WT says is wrong you're not loyal to Jehovah.
How pathetic these so called loving Governing Body are, they truly are a bunch of grumpy old geezers.
Loyalty to Jehovah can be tested when a friend gets involved in wrongdoing that needs to be
brought to the attention of the elders
Never allow misguided loyalty to a friend to overshadow your loyalty to Jehovah
Approach that friend, and urge him to report the matter to his parents or to the elders; tell him
that if he does not do so within a reasonable period of time, you will (Pr 27:5; w91 6/15 21)

yes god directs our writings but they're not inspired, so gods directions are staggered and overlapping , so the genuine innocent believing jw has a wonderful life of overlapping bullshit.
so next time you meet a jw priest ask them what is the difference between being directed and inspired, then i promise you will hear first hand an example of overlapping bull..
Yes if you engage in a lot of wishful thinking then you can "have your cake and eat it too" be directed by God and their run his Earthly Organization and when things go wrong you can always chalk it up to being mildly and ever so slightly pushed by Jehovah's spirit but the push wasn't hard enough and so you didn't let him lead you in his infinitely delicate way because you got your signals cross and took a right when it should of been a left.
So by not claiming direct inspiration by God one can claim to be God's Organization but not under strict control of the Deity's direct unmistakable influence just some gentle proding and so everybody's got to be odediance to any rule they make.
