My focus is on the transmitter in Popoff's ear--when the JWs
leaders fake exclusiveness causes harm or death. I don't need
another cranky intolerant editorial by a believer or non-be-
liever intolerant of anyone different to them. The 'centric
people of those and other classifications have caused the most
harm in history. The JWs leaders victimize their followers, so
I don't want to add to that.
The JWs leaders are insincere about their stance of exclusive-
ness, which particularly bothers me if anyone is hurt or killed
over it, as with
- the harsh disfellowshipping rules applied to their insincere
exclusivist stances dividing friends and family,
- the ban of the medical use of blood and major blood frac-
tions causing followers and their children to die, and
- when their expanded stances about worldliness cause the fol-
lowers to run into intolerant political leaders.
The three things the Russian ban focuses on shows some people
in Russia are doing their homework. The only problem is it's on
the other side of the world from the leaders. If it might cause them a little
concern financially, their income is so great I don't picture them getting too
emotional about it.
Think of Rutherford sitting in his mansion in California setting up the German
followers, when they were the 2nd biggest group of his customers, as targets to
serve a examples to the bigger group of customers that JWs suffer for the sake
of righteousness.
"...there are at least 160,000 Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia." That's less
than the population of Fort Lauderdale, FLA.

An informed expose in US media would be of more concern to the JWs leaders.
Those news articles don't really go there, and the JWs leaders can make of them
what they will in their literature.
