2016-07-15 to all bodies of elders in russia re: new law on missionary activity.
translation:.
to all bodies of elders in russia new law on missionary activity.
This is typical WT double speak where on a day to day basis full deference to the chain of command and organisational structure is required yet when the WTS is threatened legally then suddenly everything is the responsibility of the congregation member.
It's the same as the statements around "we don't shun", "anyone can leave", "we don't baptise children", "no one is DFed for refusing blood" and so on.
It's utter bollocks and I feel incredibly sorry for the individual Russian witnesses who will be putting their personal freedom on the line trying to fulfil a centrally pushed obligation to preach which is now being denied as such. I really hope this encourages them to ask serious questions of the organisation.

Nature magazine not credible. FFS Kate.
the whole congregation was required to sign up for this all day program.what are they going to talk about for the full day.
maybe a one hour talk by an elder about "responsible toilet cleaning in this time of the end" with demos as how it can be accomplished.
only sisters seem to need to listen to that one.. maybe cutting grass to the proper height so we don't bring reproach on jehovah's name.

Nice to hear from you Viv and thanks for the links. It's worth an occasional reminder that this type of conversation is not a new thing...

my son sent me a wonderful song a month ago on this thread.

it's amazing how a bad experience can trigger action.
I really hope it works out for you and your son Kate. The spite and bitterness in these situations can be so damaging to children.

Thanks Blondie.
can anyone remember that classic magazine article that stated:.
"education teaches one how to think, but propaganda tells one what to think" ?.
(if someone can post that quote and article that would be great!).
