  Russia did target the wrong behavior. The shunning, the extreme practices and teachings. Since borged refused to remove the bad things, they were banned.
  

  Are you joking? Or just making things up on the fly?

  In what universe Russia targeted Jdubs wrong behavior? Have you ever looked at what their kangaroo FSB 'courts' called extremism?

  And now, after the ban, they treat Jdubs almost as terrorists (words game - 'extremism'/'terrorism') - which is far from the truth, despite all vile teachings and practices borg indeed has. At the same time, Russian government sponsors, gives weapons and organizes real terrorists throughout the world.

  It's such a joke to listen lectures on morals and anti-extremism from Russian government and its media. Not much better than taking lectures from ISIS about human rights.

  @DATA-DOG, I'm not sure what info you've got about Russia (it depends on the info sources you use), but, it is indeed worse than most people on this planet even imagine.

  As an example of what they think about religion - you may want to have a look at the fresh video from one Russian propaganda youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3f3PqvP5qg , where Russian proxies on the occupied Ukrainian territory persecute even baptists (I'm not an expert on the Baptist church, but anyway), while at the same time supporting Russian Orthodox church (founded and controlled by Russian intelligence) famous for its usage in direct war propaganda, direct support/providing of Russian/pro-Russian terrorists in Eastern Ukraine, etc.

  It's a criminal-totalitarian state, and I'd be very careful before supporting any of their action (given their constant lies).

  cofty - surely, you have every right to ignore my view of this world cup's location, as well as thousands war casualties and several millions lives ruined in some strange distant country (a country that had voluntarily abandoned its huge nuclear arsenal in exchange for 'superpowers' guaranties of security - so stupid of it, isn't it?), and just about three hundred civilian Europeans/Aussies/Malaysians killed by Russia's government (who really cares - ah?).

  But I guess I also have the right not to be excited about this 'sports' event - especially given the title of this thread (quite a provocative one, as to me).

  Enjoy yourselves!

  Today, Russian occupants scored 3 more Ukrainian soldiers defending their motherland, (plus to thousands of civilians and soldiers killed in previous 4 years):

  JFO HQ: 3 killed, 1 wounded during Donbas hostilities on June 27 daytime

  Newsweek: JW wives in Russia send letter to Putin advisor

  by OrphanCrow in

  2. friends

  this article is dated june 7, 2018 and is likely a lead up to the bear ripping the jw bible article.

  http://www.newsweek.com/wives-jehovahs-witnesses-jailed-russia-send-letter-putin-adviser-begging-end-965516.

  the wives of jehovah’s witnesses rounded up and imprisoned in russia have written an open letter to a top adviser of president vladimir putin, asking him to stop the campaign of terror against the religious group.“this open letter to you is a cry of desperation.

  then they would be left alone.

  No way they would be left alone. The reasons for oppressing JWs in Russia are far from pursuing justice or protecting Russian people from a harm the Borg can bring. It's all about creating a terror atmosphere to control/oppress people and not to let them think about $$$$$$$ stolen from them by the authorities.

  Governing Body vs Local Elder Body

  by Boredposter in

  shortly before my exit a youngish elder who recently came from brooklyn bethel commented to me how the local elder meetings were like the wild wild west.

  according to him in brooklyn there was a very definite way to handle things.

  he seemed to imply the brooklyn bethel way was better.. after seeing gb member splaines video about how elders could come to an united decision i was reminded of this.. i had to wonder about this then and i wonder now.

  From my experience, the higher the rank/theocratic title is, the less 'humane' is it's bearer. There are exceptions of course, but that's kind of a trend, IMHO
