Dear supporters of Russia's JW Ban:
by Jehalapeno inthis is the kind of government you are supporting.. over 100 gay men have been sent to concentration camps for homosexuals in chechnya and three people have been killed.. stop supporting fascism.. if you support the russia jw ban, what other thoughts and beliefs are you ok with policing?.
if you support the jw russia ban, have you read george orwell's 1984?
don't you realize you are advocating for literal fascism when you support the banning of a belief system?

RUSSIA: (5 April 2017) Jehovah's Witnesses hearing under way
by jwleaks inthe trial has begun.
the crowd on the street (see photo) is now inside and the gallery is packed.. yesterday jehovah's witnesses presented a written legal argument - "objections to the administrative claim of the ministry of justice of the russian federation" - to the supreme court of russia which, in paragraph 254, argued that if the ministry for justice liquidates and bans the activities of jehovah's witnesses then this will force individual members to renounce or abandon their religion for fear of persecution.. download legal argument (russian).

Follow the Assets !
And of course it does not have the negative, sleazy image of the ARC proceedings - This is Rock-Star stuff. The Stones are in town !
This will deflect attention from all the other shit for a few days !

Ranting
by FedUpJW inplease excuse me for long-winded ranting.
i know, as do most of us here that "love" is not something that the jdub's are known for except in their deluded, feeble minds.. i can handle their hypocrisy when it is directed at me, but when it is aimed at family who for decades have genuinely been the type of jw that the watchtower presents to the public, and when it is motivated by pure hate, then i get pissed!.
my mother was dunked in the 1940's and my father in the 1950's.

FedUpJW - its one of those accounts which makes me want to take a baseball bat and enter the KH and cause mayhem - due to pure indignation and irritation !
Our own faithful and kind mother was buried in August 1016 - she had been bedridden due to PSP for the last 4 years of life.
NOT ONE visit in that time by the Eldubs ! And NOT ONE visit by the sisterhood at all -

Richard O is such a faithful follower of men - a real 'Star' ! Maybe he has been misunderstood by most here ?

Once again Richard OIiver [bok-drol] seems to have gone off on a tangent 180 deg out of phase - [The consummate Apologist]
The man clearly stated : "The intention was NOT to try to overthrow the JC etc etc but just to place a final statement on record as a 6 decade life hooked onto this cult now terminates ! " ----- FINIS

Are people free to leaving the Witnesses, and shunning.
by ThomasCovenant inis it true, as bro jackson testified to the australian royal commission, that people can leave the religion freely?.
in my own case, yes.
i just stopped going and was never announced as ''no longer one of jw's''.

My situation same as AlanV - Faded but was totally shunned .....
Then went on a e-mailing campaign re the First ARC and overlapping Generation etc - Mailing directly into Bethel and to local hounders and now have received my " loving provision from Jehovah" invitation to meet in the back-room - to lovingly be stoned !
Have involved Attorney etc - wait to see their next move - which will probably be a DF-ing anyway.
