I love the way you see all the legal developments effecting JW's on jwdotorgasm. It's all there. Nothing hidden. Warts and all.
Pages and pages of stuff about the Australian Royal Commission's investigations into institutional responses to child abuse case study 29 for example ...
Geoffrey Jackson's holy spirit directed testimony to the ARC as another example ...
And of course Candace Conti ...
... ...
Then I woke up!
It suddenly occurred to me that it would be a good way to convince the world of the Governing Body's intentions if they renamed the title the Kindly Governing Body.
Can we make an acronym from that?
In this case my money is on the cops planting and the supposed ex jdub being a cop or mib also because why would you want a u.s. based international religion with a legit reason to nosey round your country whilst you're at war with u.s.?! At the very least it provides a disguise for an imposter, at most... well...
That forum is full of insane people. They are deluded nutters.
FACT: The WTBTS disobeys the Superior Authorities in such locations as China and Russia in order to "preach" WTBTS dogma. They produce literature, or smuggle literature that is considered extreme by those countries. In China, dubs will "preach" in Internet cafes by leaving the web-pages to JW.Borg open for others to see. They don't speak and change locations periodically.
No Government needs to plant JW literature anywhere. It's already there. Also, no "GOD" needs JWs to break the laws of the Superior Authorities to make a truth know to anyone.
Fact: JWs show great disrespect to GOD, by disobeying him. In essence, the WTBTS says, "Jeehoobidoober cannot get the job done. We need to break the law to make sure Jeehoober does thing right."
That is called a "lack of faith", which is a sin that easily ensnares, according to the Bible. Too bad the WTBTS produces more WT magazines and Watchtards, than Bibles and Bible Students.

In my personal opinion, whatever individual feelings about the nature of JW teachings and the danger posed about them, this type of activity by the authorities should be robustly condemned.
Fundamentally Jehovah's Witnesses do have the freedom to do what they do under Russian law yet the authorities insist on twisting the legal system and resorting to underhand tactics to try and put them in the same box as all the other undesirables identified by the corrupt leadership.
Bear in mind that the same methods are being used against homosexuals, transgender people, political dissidents, similar religions and other minorities to suppress free speech and free will.
The fact that this type of behaviour is sanctioned from the top down should be ringing alarm bells about how far Russia really has come in terms of embracing an open society.
Pushing these people underground has never stopped them. Years of persecution under the communist regime did nothing to prevent the spread of the creed. What is more, JWs love a good persecution story. It simply reinforces their faith. There is plenty of content in the literature that has been openly exposed to allow people to see what is really in there. In fact, if the Russian authorities would be far better helping translate some of the best sites (e.g. jwfacts) into Russian and tweaking their firewalls to point requests to jw.org to Russia language content that exposes the teachings for the bunch of junk they really are.
