  the supreme commercial court will not be reviewing the lower court's ruling prohibiting the distribution of two jehovah's witnesses magazines, the watchtower and awake!, the court's spokesperson told the russian legal information agency (rapsi/rapsinews.com) on monday.. on april 6, 2010, the federal service for supervision of communications, information technology and mass media (roskomnadzor) annulled the permission to distribute the aforementioned magazines in russia issued in 1997 by the state committee for press after some of the content was declared extremist.. in february, the ninth commercial court of appeals upheld the federal service's ban on publishing and distributing the magazines.. the court thus dismissed the appeal filed by wachtturm bibel- und traktat-gesellschaft, deutscher zweig, e.v, the legal entity which holds the license to the magazines, and the jehovah's witnesses administrative center responsible for their distribution.. the religious organization requested to reconsider the ruling, but the supreme commercial court found no grounds for this.. the roskomnadzor representative said that the organization is carrying outs its activity outside russia and it is not subject to russian laws regulating the enterprises activity.. jehovah's witnesses is an international religious organization.

  I guess the Russians believe that just because something can be said does not mean it should be said.

  And lo! The WT and Awake! do not have the right in Russia to say whatever the crap they want and get away with it.

  from nigerian newspaper via google alert a few minutes ago;.

  entire family, 20 others die in fatal accidenttragedy struck weekend in akwa ibom state as a man, his wife and all their children, as well as more than 20 others, all members of the jehovahs witness church, perished in a fatal road accident which occurred, friday, along the utu etim ekpo road in etim ekpo local government area of the state.. forty other members of the church sustained varying degrees of injuries following in the crash which occurred on their way to the jehovahs witness annual convention ground in ikot ekpene local government area of the state.. thisdays gathered that more than 70 members of the church had hired a lorry to convey them from ukanafun local government area to ikot ekpene for the annual district convention which began on friday and billed to end today (sunday) but the journey ended half way with many members of the church dying on the road in the accident.. eyewitnesses alleged that the driver of the lorry conveying the church members to the venue of the convention lost control of the vehicle when he got to utu etim ekpo, the junction opposite the local government secretariat, and hit the stone used to construct the roundabout, thus resulting in the lorry somersaulting, leaving many of its passengers and others wounded.. the corpses and those injured in the accident were said to have been taken to neighbouring hospitals and mortuaries.. one of the eyewitnesses, mr. friday john, said the people who died may have been more than what was seen because a whole family including parents and their children were all trapped in the accident.. we were all here discussing when suddenly the lorry appeared and was looking like the driver had lost control of it.

  then the lorry drove straight and hit the stone and somersaulted into the gutter.. many people died, more than 18. in fact, we couldnt count the number because there were many corpses, including husband, wife and children and they were all taken to the mortuary in various hospitals near etim ekpo here, john explained.. in another narration, a secondary school teacher in eka uruk eshiet etim ekpo, mr. ndipmo nkanta, said the lorry boarded by the deceased and the injured passengers was not meant for passengers but goods only.. he blamed the accident on poverty , arguing that if there was a better alternative, such casualties wouldnt have been recorded, especially as they were going to worship god.. the public relations officer of the federal road safety corps, frsc, in the state, mr. godsgift uwen, blamed the incident on over-speeding and overloading by the driver of the lorry.. he said the lorry was not supposed to carry any passenger as it was a meant for goods only but the driver stubbornly used it as a passengers vehicle, which led to the sad incident.. he advised against rush and drunken driving, especially in the yuletide, noting that these are some of the major causes of accidents on the roads.. culled from thisday".

  The real heart of the problem has to do with culture.

  Countries like Nigeria, people are accustomed to cramming dozens of people onto unsafe vehicles. Its just the norm. 5 people on a scooter, 20 natives hanging onto the sides of a windowless 4x4, 100 people sitting on the roof of already stuffed to bursting trains and yeah, 70 people riding in the back of a 'lorry'. Weve all seen the pictures on google at times i am sure.

  we here laugh at the idiocy of it but to them there is only 'get on' or 'walk'.

  some of these countries are kept poor by their dictators and corrupt governments who do nothing to help their citizens get around. To me, things like this are not an idictment against the religion, but against the country's leaders.

  sadly, when things go wrong, instead of one or two people getting killed, its more like the carnage from a plane crash.

  does anyone else find it ironic that the watchtower places literature on the internet, encourage people to download and share it, but then warns no to post it on the internet?

  isn't posting on the internet the no.1 method of sharing information in this day and age?

  and what, exactly, constitutes "posting on the internet".. in their terms and conditions:.

  I guess this demontrates the Watchtowers method of operation.

  Spend a few short years (for the rank and file have short memories) creeping in the change and by the time they make it, most already figure it!

  Doing this i am sure they could do away with 1914 and any other pesky problems.

  Now, they should also be told they are very lucky to have not been disfellowshipped for apostasy then! Tch tch, running ahead of the chariot...

  Very sad, unfortunatley in countries such as this, people have the custom and habit of cramming onto anything that moves and when outdated, overloaded vehicles and poor roads meet the toll can be very high.

  Now, what will the watchtower do for THEM?

  well it's been about 8 months since my final wake up.

  as some may remember for my intro thread, i panicked and was way too aggressive at first with telling my wife all about this scam we're a part of.

  she freaked, thinking satan had me for sure.
