The Question:
Outlaw just believes that if you don't rail against watchtower with the same hatred that he has, you are just a sympathizer and will mock you and treat you like garbage no matter what you say.

It could have been done in a less convenient way before, but now with technology they are able to make it a much more convenient way.

So, the Womens March ... What Is It For?
by Simon init seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.
i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?
... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?

It turned out to be an all-encompassing protest. It is called the women's march because originally, it was a group of women's associations that sponsored it. They eventually kept on bringing in so many groups that it became what it became.

And the Governing Body is trying to present material as much as possible in a person's native language.

It is a good reminder for the title holding congregation to remember to do this. There was one case where the congregation bought a piece of property, in Philadelphia, they were deciding on the design for the Kingdom Hall they wanted to build on it. They never filed the paperwork to try and get it exempt from property tax, and they didn't bother looking to see if it had a tax lien on it. Eventually the property was seized by the county and sold at auction, so the congregation was out the purchase price for the land, it was around 250k

There doesn't always have to be a male present. There are plenty of times where it is two women at a cart.

Russia to liquidate Jehovah's Witnesses' organization

It is confirmed that Russia Supreme Court has ruled that Watchtower in Russia cannot appeal this warning by the prosecutor to liquidate the Administrative Offices. It was posted on jw broadcasting that the court ruled on this. That does not mean that it is liquidated or in the process but that the prosecutor can bring this before a court and if the court agrees the liquidation can go forward. It is not the banning of witnesses but it is that the congregations that have been prosecuted have lost their property and the administrative offices will also probably lose their property as well.

For this you have to remember that in Wales there are estimated to be about 562,000 Welch speakers that is supported by only 10 Welch congregations. There are in comparison 41 English congregation in Wales. So there won't be a lot of elders who speak Welch so they are needing to be able to play a recorded talk because it has to be given all in the same night.

Ownership does reside at the local level. Current bylaws that are being put into place state that if the kingdom Hall is sold the proceeds go to Watchtower bible and tract society or a corporation designated by the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses. And the board of directors at the local level is made up of local individuals who are elected by the voting members of the title holding congratulation. Normally voting members are defined as this of majority age in that state who are baptized and have their active publisher cards at that congregation.
