hi guys,.
i have been told that a while ago there was a watchtower article that said that voting, (i'm in uk) is down to individual conscience.
i always thought it was a judicial matter.
If the press or a govt. agency had to ask JW leadership if they disfellowship members for accepting Blood the answer would be NO ! [But back home you would be shunned all the same and an announcement would be made that YOU no longer consider yourself a JW !
Same with voting ......this covers the JW Org ass where Voting is compulsory - eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_voting.
now that she has announced that she is 20 weeks pregnant and not married, what is her status in the cult?
.
Why bash her at all ? We often moan on this forum about how restrictive life in the Cult is/was and how we missed out on opportunities in life eg Higher Ed / sport etc etc . and then when we encounter someone who followed their own head we get pissed off !
Sour grapes maybe /

ok ok, so it's in ukraine..
Beards are being overlooked in my area it seems - But I am not in the mainstream no moh! However a bearded elder spoke to a family member last week. So...??
this is the kind of government you are supporting.. over 100 gay men have been sent to concentration camps for homosexuals in chechnya and three people have been killed.. stop supporting fascism.. if you support the russia jw ban, what other thoughts and beliefs are you ok with policing?.
if you support the jw russia ban, have you read george orwell's 1984?
don't you realize you are advocating for literal fascism when you support the banning of a belief system?
BANNED on the Run !
the trial has begun.
the crowd on the street (see photo) is now inside and the gallery is packed.. yesterday jehovah's witnesses presented a written legal argument - "objections to the administrative claim of the ministry of justice of the russian federation" - to the supreme court of russia which, in paragraph 254, argued that if the ministry for justice liquidates and bans the activities of jehovah's witnesses then this will force individual members to renounce or abandon their religion for fear of persecution.. download legal argument (russian).

Follow the Assets !
And of course it does not have the negative, sleazy image of the ARC proceedings - This is Rock-Star stuff. The Stones are in town !
This will deflect attention from all the other shit for a few days !
please excuse me for long-winded ranting.
i know, as do most of us here that "love" is not something that the jdub's are known for except in their deluded, feeble minds.. i can handle their hypocrisy when it is directed at me, but when it is aimed at family who for decades have genuinely been the type of jw that the watchtower presents to the public, and when it is motivated by pure hate, then i get pissed!.
my mother was dunked in the 1940's and my father in the 1950's.
FedUpJW - its one of those accounts which makes me want to take a baseball bat and enter the KH and cause mayhem - due to pure indignation and irritation !
Our own faithful and kind mother was buried in August 1016 - she had been bedridden due to PSP for the last 4 years of life.
NOT ONE visit in that time by the Eldubs ! And NOT ONE visit by the sisterhood at all -
a fascinating article, with color-saturated imagery.

CC you are a trooper [SuperTrooper as ABBA would say]
Thanks - I do have it "hidden" somewhere on my old XP pc - that's before my beloved also left the JW - had to hide all this revolutionary stuff !
publication, that is?.
i just found all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial in storage.
i enjoyed studying it, as well as make sure of all things, hold fast to what is fine.. our thinking has changed, of course, but, back then, did you have a wt publication you especially liked?.
AID Book and Greatest Man
on another forum, a user posted that their partner is being hauled before a jc for asking questions and, that the jc will go ahead regardless if in attendance or not.. the post does not say what questions were being asked.
another user responded with - possibly viewed as 'brazen conduct'.
here is the link to jw.org - brazen conduct: https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/bible-glossary/brazen-conduct/.
Richard O is such a faithful follower of men - a real 'Star' ! Maybe he has been misunderstood by most here ?
