If the Russian government stoop to such drastic measures against those who oppose their laws,the governing body of jws should assist them to a place of safety. The caesars things to caesar unless it conflicts with gods law comes into play here. The jws will always try to meet and worship and I'm sure.. preach (with the view to convert) others who in doing so will by default be encouraging them to follow god rather than caesar, in this case the Russian govt. The question for me is.. Will the gb do nothing but glory in the knowledge that their Russian fellows are standing against caesar (Satan) and look on the torture and persecution as a price to pay for loyalty. Torture should be condemned absolutely!

ostrovskogo, d. 47, in surgut.

Is Russia "right" about presecuting Jehovah's Witnesses?
by iliketreasure injehovah's witnesses are presecuted in russia.
on par with the is and other terroristic groups.
it happened when the anti-extremism laws were extended to non-violent groups.. i don't believe that russia actually cares for the well-being of their citizens with this move and probably merely a law to stop other political forces (and the jws are one in a way, since their gather authority over large groups of people and also have their own political and judicial institutiona), but are they right about it anyway?.

The topic for me is more about watchtower than Putin .. Personal freedoms which allow tyranny religious or political must have devices which have an objective of bringing about their downfall... Putin or Jehovah one is real the other is harder to deal with given that the human brain can be deceived into self sacrifice or murder in the name of supernatural bullshit.. Which is worse?

What can we all do to protect personal freedoms in Russia ...should we write to the relevant authorities outlining our disagreement of their handling of the watchtower, and ask them to reestablish the deceitful,lying,bloodguilty organization in order for them to carry on their harmful and family negative work...hey let's all do that....who's first ?

Anyone interested in situations where people or families who have been negatively affected by the influence of watchtower ie jws (to whatever degree ) would surely be willing to hear what they have to say...,i know i would talk to such a person if the situation arose. I would hope to offer some help and comfort.

The Reasons for Cart Witnessing
by Simon inwhatever we think of it, you have to admit that it's quite "genius".. the door to door ministry as done in western developed countries where the jw quirky religion has probably reached their saturation level was a complete and utter waste of time in terms of the effort expended to recruit people.. at the same time, it was rarely something that anyone enjoyed which led to people being labelled as inactive, being pressured to doing more and maybe ultimately deciding jwism wasn't for them and leaving.. there was also the issue that many jws are actually pretty bad at knowing and articulating their beliefs so were pretty incapable of getting any meaningful message across.. they solved all this with the cart witnessing.
the real point isn't to recruit, it's to make life easier for jws.
now they can stand and chat with their friend, have a coffee, not talk to anyone or make eye contact and still act as a walking billboard for jw.org.
