moscow upholds ban on jehovah's witnesses
by maria danilova.
associated press writer leader of russian jehovah's witnesses, vasily kalin, right, jehovah's witnesses' canadian lawyer john burns, center, and spokesman for the jehovah's witnesses christian presber, stand in front of the moscow city court, wednesday, june 16, 2004. a moscow court upheld a ban on the city's jehovah's witnesses, ending a six-year case that reflected growing pressure to stifle minority religious groups in russia, where orthodox christianity is predominant.
Somebody should have banned Jim Jones before he he got started.No matter what,,,,JW's will stiil grow old and die just like everyone else.
Notice;all Jehovah's Witnesses who have died are all still dead.I don't think they give a hoot about the moscow decision.
i am still having an ongoing conversation with a couple of jw's on my medical message board and when i commented about the requirement of a number of hours of witnessing, this is the response i got.
is she being truthful?.
"in all the years that i have been a jehovah's witness,never once has anyone put any pressure on me to do a required amount of time in the preaching work.any time i spend speaking to people about the bible is spent because i want to do it' because i want to try my best to follow the example of jesus and his early followers-acts.5.42, acts 20.20,i believe that jehovah god wants me to be a part of this preaching work mathew 24.14, ".
My elder Dad,was the 'field service overseer' for several years,at the Bridgewater Massachusetts Kingdom Hall.His job was to enforce the reporting of preaching hours.among the rank and file publisher.
Jehovah's Witnesses lie a lot.

My girlfriend (45) won't let me scan her pic.She is my perfect women and no,she don't look like Eve.
I don't look like Adam either.
i am definitely no longer a jw (11 years).
that having been said, living in a "democratic" land, the one thing that is challenging is agreeing with freedom of religion, but also protesting when it becomes offensive.
don't get me wrong..... my family shuns me completely and i do think that it is "offensive", and against the laws of nature, which makes the point even more legitimate...... : do they really know what they are doing?
They make the Taliban look tame,the Nazi's look nice and the WT$ leaders make Charlie Manson look like Charlie
I think you need a really deep dose of reality Danny. That is one of most ridiculous things I have ever read. Danny's reply:Manson topped off at 7 dead.The Watchtower has incurred the blood guilt of Millions.Just count the premature deaths from neglected healthcare.The taliban the neo-nazis don't break up familys like the WT$ does.

jehovah's witnesses
Don't you get it? ''Prince" is ahead of his time.He's already coronated to be a JW elder "prince'' when Joseph Rutherford enthrones 
him with regal power in the Watchtower paradise.

No books from crooks!
[Reply to Jasmine>To compare offering a tract to committing a war crime is a tad far fetched
Danny sez:That tract leads to death.The watchtower is BIG on individual accountability,they are always thumping the Joshua story of Accan's sin.Every Jehovah's Witness will grow old and die in this system.According to the WT's own dogma they are NOT going to heaven.So,what is the final disposition of a JW?{ many of MY family already}You rot in the ground after having had all your a$$ets plundered. The Watchtower is a,man made mutated millerite cult.The Revelation climax book is 95% lies,because their prophetic zero hour is the millerite 1914 anachronism.Jehovah's Witnesses have been following doctrines of demons from the get-go. To compare the Watchtower to "just another false religion" is too kind. They make the Taliban look tame,the Nazi's look nice and the WT$ leaders make Charlie Manson look like Charlie Brown.
Don't shoot the apostate messengers and "no books from crooks"
a neighbor stopped by to see 8 year-old billy's new puppies.
billy told the neighbor that these were jehovah's witness' puppies.
the neighbor was puzzled, but let the comment go by.
I heard that one when i was a 'pup' gotta be at least as old as me.

I vus only followen da orders
"I was only following orders" didn't cut it at Nuremburg(Nazi War crimes trial) and it
doesn't cut it now.

a baptized brother in a local congregation stopped attending meetings months ago.
he hasn't been disfellowshipped, nor has he taken any steps to disassociate himself from the congregation.
he hasn't even been marked or privately reproved - god, i hate this type of cultish lingo, he just stopped attending meetings.
OOPS I didn't shrink.Forum assist rescue
