RUSSIA: Many meetings raided and evidence planted

by ZAPPA-ESQUE in

raids on jehovah's witness premises now take place more than three times per month.

these raids on doctrinally pacifist* religious communities often involve many heavily armed and camouflaged officials, with the "discovery" of apparently planted banned "extremist" literature.

legal dissolution of communities can follow.. http://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=2228.

We have the same conversations about this topic each time it is posed. The law is now 14 years old. The dubs continue to be free to practice their stupid religion. The courts have been patient with them, overturning several judgments against them and ruling in their favor on numerous occasions. Russia's democracy isn't perfect; name one that is.

Singing "Imagine" and group hugging while being shocked and aghast that Vlad and his Impalers are being . .. all Vladish and Impalish is about the most childish thing that can be posted on this OP. I prefer reality. Russia being Russian and Vlad being Vlad-ian is not new nor news.

But I'm certain that someone will top it. It's early in the OP and there are a lot of hysterical reactionaries here.

The laws are getting more strict, and the courts are losing patience. All the dubs have to do to comply with the laws, which IMHO are very good laws, is to remove all references to the superiority of their religion over all others in their literature and teachings, such as Armageddon where all other religions and governments are destroyed, and practices and teachings such as prohibiting blood transfusions, shunning members and destroying families, to name a few that the Russian law finds objectionable and illegal.

Had the DarkLords complied in 2002 we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Every proselytizing religion closely monitors the laws and social conditions of countries where they desire to spread their infection, I mean teachings. The DarkTower is no different, and it is a certainty that they have had dedicated resources and intense discussions about these issues for decades.

Having said that, the DarkLords were without a doubt keenly aware that Russia enacted its extremism law in 2002, just months after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in the US. Two of the law's provisions defined religious extremism as promoting the "exclusivity, superiority, or lack of equal worth of an individual" and "incitement of religious discord" in connection with acts or threats of violence.

Officials began to interpret the first provision as promoting the superiority of a belief, and in 2007, Russia amended the law to allow prosecution for inciting religious discord even in the absence of any threat or act of violence.

Again, the DarkLords clearly understood these laws and their interpretations.

Since every group believes its own dogma to be in some sense superior, any group could face an extremism charge. And since inciting "religious discord" is no longer linked to advocating or perpetrating violence, those advocating religious views face potential criminal charges of incitement. Other religious groups wishing to practice openly in Russia either don’t have these teachings as part of their religious dogma or they have removed them from materials distributed and teachings preached openly in Russia. In other words, they complied with the law.

The DarkTower is NOT the only religion that has felt the effects of these laws. Islam (one Russian court even banned the Koran, but it was overturned on appeal), Mormons and others have come under scrutiny and felt the pressures of these laws. But the DarkLords are the ONLY religion that refused to remove the illegal references from their written materials and teachings until they had seriously pissed off Vlad and his Impalers. I am not including Scientology in this.

Bad things happen when you tug on Vlad's cape.

None of us should be shocked that Russia is being Russia. The DarkLords knew this as well. Using draconian practices to make their case, if true, should not surprise us, and IT SHOULD NOT HAVE SURPRISED THE DARK LORDS. Aren’t they supposed to be faithful and ‘discreet’ or ‘wise?’

The DarkLords’ arrogance is the cause of this, and they were willing to martyr their own sheep to prove their point. Stephanie (above) hit the nail on the head as to the very good reasons Russia has enacted and enforces these laws.

They deserve none of our sympathy.

Witness,

I've thought PE has been telling only half the story for a while. I never responded to any of his numerous Nancy Kerrigan whining "Whyyyyyyyyy' OPs previously, because I thought he needs to grow up and accept the situation for what it is.

But this site seeks to infantalize posters and marinade them in victimization.

I don't doubt PE is hurting, but there are a lot of immature, selfish actions and reactions in his words and stated behavior.

I think he is leaving out some key facts. And he needs to start looking at the man in the mirror for much of the reason he is where he is.

If he doesnt he will continue to find himself in similar situations.

You are welcome, enablers, mollycoddlers, victim marinaders and placaters.

You need me on that wall.

Ditto to neverajw.

Proven to be unreliable is an understatement. If what Pale tells us is true, she has sold him for pieces of silver, plunged the dagger into his back, thrown him under the bus and rolled over on him faster than a 5$ hooker.

Pale, based on what I read and my experiences, seems to be a man who needs a woman in his life or else he can't function/behave/bathe. I know so many men who went from mommy to wifey to divorce to an immediate replacement. And so on and so on.

Sometimes it works out; sometimes they've simply replaced the devil they knew for the devil they wish they had never met.

These men typically hate being alone, don't like eating alone, don't want to cook or make a home a home, can't seem to have a social life without a female on their arm, and need the comfort and nurturing a female provides. So Pale you may have some issues for which you need some intense self reflection.

I find these men pathetic, really. But that's me. Pale, you may want to consider avoiding long term relationships with any human having a XX chromosome pattern for a while. Otherwise you may be the proverbial ball inside the pinball machine.

Don't get me wrong; earth girls are soft, warm and yummy. I highly recommend them. But they are also complicated pieces of machinery for which no man has or ever will be competent to understand. Go s-l-o-w-l-y is what I'm trying to say. And protect your heart, cause it has to be hurting like hell.

IMHO, OCD is telling you what you want to hear, and it seems to be working. Good luck Pale.

Hearts,

You had me at hello. You lost me at it would be romantic . . .

Whaaaaat?

In my experiences, there are no Regarding Henrys, Epiphanies, or Roads to Demascus.

People don't change. As Ms Angelou once stated , when someone shows you who they are. .

believe them.

Thanks Divergent. Spot on. That's the Genesis of my sarcasm above. Pardon me if I'm skeptical about Ms. OCD"s motives, but methinks there is more than a bit of manipulation with her.

Could she really be remorseful about betraying Pale so quickly and wickedly? Anything is possible, but the description of her 'remorse' as provided by Pale leaves a lot of doubt in my mind.

Bicch needs to be crawling through broken glass and fire, IMHO, with a sincere apology followed by actions, such as:

Leave the cult. And get some counseling for the OCD and black heart thingey.

Pale, I don't know if your current GF is a good thing or not, but every fiber in me says believing Judas", I mean Your ex, crocodile tears is a very, very bad move.

Great news!!! However: "When i first dated her she used to have plastic over her furniture and took her own cutlery to peoples houses when we went for dinner etc."

Did it ever cross your mind that this was a clue?

Sorry, couldn't resist the obvious. Good luck Pale. I hope it works out for both of you. The mischief in me wants to suggest you say something like this to console her: "Me and you and she can come too." But I won't say that. That would be crass, if not bad timing.

Genital Warts Because our Ancestors were Banging Neanderthals

by cofty in

researchers have found evidence that modern genital warts – otherwise known as the human papillomavirus (hpv) – were sexually transmitted to homo sapiens after our ancestors slept with neanderthals and denisovans roughly around 100,000 years ago.....

DJS

Until we hear the Neanderthals side of the story - and what icky inestations and maladies they may have gotten from us -this appears to be salacious reporting at its worst.

I don't think I will be able to escape the JWs ...

by nevaagain in

jw
friends

i know i will get a lot of backslash on this forum for saying this, but as it looks like, i won't ever be able to escape the jws.

i have been a born in, third generation jw and awoken in one way or another (i joined this forum 15 years ago) for a very long time.

but i have adapted to the jw lifestyle to a point where it does not bother me anymore.

DJS

Such a whiney ass loser - it's no wonder that earth girls are repulsed by you. Stay. Please stay. I feel sorry for the unsuspecting dub girls, all of whom have more testosterone than you.

Let's hope you're sterile. That DNA doesn't need to replicate.
