...no they won't find any extremist literature in the Kingdom Hall"
Beautifully said, SBF!
data dog,
Yep, fully agree with your post. Jdubs do scary stuff to get their literature out there into peoples hands and have a history of it. Who planted the books is actually irrelevant and i was just having a bit of fun like whodunnit because its the small fight, the obvious distraction...
David graham,
It's not a huge plot, it's a silly little video of distraction which i watched once and laughed. There's 4 agendas at play in this topic. 1. The puppet jdubs, 2. Whoever controls watchtower, 3. The security of a country in this case russky's. 4. The intelligence of the countries with an interest in this case u.s. but as we know watchtower is international so any country's intelligence with an interest.
Agenda of 1 is irrelevant so long as they are who they say they are - normal jdub door knockers, missionaries, preachers.
Agenda of 2, 3 and 4 is where the game is.
Agenda 3 is why this vid even exists so to say it's got nothing to do with it does not make sense at all. Very naive!
Common knowledge that 4 uses 1 as a guise if it wants hence why immediately a country with agenda 3 would restrict certain religions and organizations with capabilities of agenda 1 and 2 and removing their literature gets rid of the risk posed by preaching as a guise and money movements etc. Question of interest for this forum is, is 2 aware or not about the ways they can be used by 4.
They certainly are keen to highlight when their religious freedoms are in danger. Things like child abuse not so much.
Agree with konceptual for reasons given in other threads. 'Extremist literature' in the terms currently being used in Russia is so generally applied at the moment that anything could be banned under it if the authorities wanted to, Orwell for example. JWs are being wrongfully treated in Russia at the moment. As are a large number of other 'minority' groups who are being targeted for not conforming sufficiently.
I'm all for freedom of speech, expression, to practice whatever religion etc. you want but when that is applied to a cult like JW's, who uses mind control, hate speech, lies and misdirections that separates families, kills people and leaves them with mental illness, just in order to keep it's members separate from society and make money, that freedom is abused by said cult and it's within the interests of the government to stop it as their capacity to look after the safety of the general public!
And that goes for any country!
While no fan of the religion of Jehovahs Witnesses for a plethora of reasons, I am less of a fan of squelching free speech and in fact planting evidence against otherwise innocent people. This is so Russian its almost cartoonish.
They don't deserve it, and unfortunately the authorities there doing this may not even realize its just a rallying cry for the oppressed JW's earth wide. I'm pretty sure the Russian Orthodox Church clearly teaches everlasting hellfire for non believers. Is that really any more "extremist" than end times rhetoric?
JWtalk is hilarious. The comments.........."Russia has a powerful demon prince in charge! It must be soooooo close!"
Good grief....
