ARchiv@L reacted to Queen Esther in Jehovah’s Witnesses launch global response against Russia’s proposed ban on the religion ! But now they speak from a religious MISTAKE, they made...
Jehovah’s Witnesses launch global response against Russia’s proposed ban on the religion.
The Supreme Court of Russia is set to judge whether Jehovah's Witnesses can be considered as an “extremist” body. This came after the Russian Justice Ministry made its application for an order which will shut the national headquarters of this group. Jehovah's Witnesses has its base near St. Petersburg. The website of the Russian Supreme Court announced a legal team would get together on April 5 and consider the application made by the Justice Ministry. The matter of banning all activities by Jehovah's Witnesses depends on the outcome of this meeting.
Members of Jehovah's Witnesses have responded by making an appeal to Supreme Court officials and the Kremlin. Jehovah’s Witnesses have launched a worldwide letter writing campaign to Russia. The heads of Jehovah's Witnesses has invited its members from all over the world to participate. About 8 million people identify themselves as a Jehovah’s Witness. Jehovah's Witnesses is well known for its highly visible foreign ministries. Its practice of campaigning door-to-door has made it well known not only in Russia but all over the world. The problem with the Russian authorities is not a new phenomenon, Moscow labels it as a cult, a label which it fiercely denies. A number of its publications have been inserted into the banned extremist literature link. Russian prosecutors have projected it as an organization which fosters hatred, threatens lives and destroys families. The organization has denied such labels. If the Russian Government has its way, the national headquarters of the Jehovah's Witnesses near the city of St. Petersburg will be locked off. About 400 local religious organizations which are registered with the Russian government will be destroyed. These will outlaw services of about 2,300 Jehovah's Witnesses congregations in Russia. The state will seize all places of worship throughout Russia. Not only this, members of this religious organization will be subjected to be criminally prosecuted for simply carrying out worship activities. All of these matters will be judged by the Supreme Court on April 5.
#StopJWBan Letters from Jehovah's Witnesses to the Russian leadership !!!
One of Russia's own lawyers says here that his government is making a mistake, if they try to ban Jehovah's people...... very interesting !!
Posted on: 26 Mar. 2017
The editor-in-chief of the journal "Religion and Law" regards the claim on the prohibition of Jehovah's Witnesses as a colossal legal and religious mistake.
"From my point of view, the federal bodies of executive power, which is the Ministry of Justice, have made a colossal legal error and ... religious studies. The whole history shows that the attempt to ban, liquidation does not lead to anything. Just Jehovah's Witnesses will be in hiding.
And when I talk with religious people, with clergymen, they ask me a question, in fact, rhetorical: "Anatoly Vasilievich, what happens?" This is a colossal error of the federal executive bodies. I'm not talking about the violation of basic constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens. Article 28 of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of conscience and religion, is simply trampled upon, simply ignored.
Jehovah's Witnesses exist today throughout the world. And even Nazi Germany, which for them was creating their Auschwitz camp, or in Polish it is called Auschwitz, where one million four hundred thousand people were killed - it was created for Jehovah's Witnesses. They wore a purple triangle ... And how did it end? It ended in the collapse of Nazism. But other states have drawn the right conclusions from this. Today, Jehovah's Witnesses exist, freely operate in the same Germany, in other European states. But why does this happen to us? I'm asking this question. And I'm absolutely sure that it will not lead to anything good.
I, perhaps, do not share the creed of Jehovah's Witnesses, but today I am for defending them, because the violation of rights begins here.
And I want to remind you of the famous words - they may sound trite, but they should be repeated more often, - the famous priest Martin Nimöller, by the way the German priest, the Lutheran, who said: "At first they came for the Communists, but I did not say anything. Then they came for the Jews, but I did not say anything, because I was not a Jew either. They came for the Catholics - I did not say anything. And when they came for me, there was no one to say a word in my defense. " So, do not be silent. If we say that we are a law-based state, we are a state where human rights and freedoms are guaranteed, where the law has the power of supremacy, then let's raise our voice in defense of Jehovah's Witnesses! "

ARchiv@L got a reaction from Queen Esther in Wtorek 28 marca
Nie było (...) nikogo takiego jak on (2 Król. 18:5).
Chociaż Ezechiasz był synem jednego z najgorszych królów Judy, wyrósł na jednego z najlepszych władców (2 Król. 18:6). Postanowił usunąć zło, którego dopuszczał się jego ojciec. W ramach energicznej i szeroko zakrojonej kampanii oczyścił świątynię, dokonał przebłagania za grzechy ludu i zniszczył pogańskie bożki (2 Kron. 29:1-11,18-24; 31:1). A w obliczu niełatwych wyzwań, jak na przykład groźby ataku asyryjskiego króla Sancheriba na Jerozolimę, dowiódł odwagi i głębokiej wiary. Ufał, że Bóg zapewni wybawienie, oraz słowem i czynem dodawał ludowi otuchy (2 Kron. 32:7, 8). Kiedy później musiał zostać skorygowany za swą wyniosłą postawę, ukorzył się i okazał skruchę (2 Kron. 32:24-26). Jak widać, nie pozwolił, by jego przeszłość zaciążyła na jego teraźniejszości lub pozbawiła go widoków na przyszłość. Pokazał raczej, że był przyjacielem Jehowy i dał piękny przykład godny naśladowania. w16.02 2:11

ARchiv@L reacted to John Lindsay Barltrop in RUSSIA: Jehovah’s Witnesses Mobilize Global Response to Threat of Ban in Russia
When I went down to post my letters at the local post office, I happened to see the postage stamp book on the counter and sitting on top of it were the A$2.95 International Economy Air Mail stamps. The Post Mistress asked, "What is going on? I have had numerous requests for these stamps this morning." She does know that I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, because I do that Post Office when I do business territory.
I explained to her what was going on in the Russian Federation concerning our brothers, and how they are supposed to have freedom of religion, etc., she did not know anything about it............well she does now!!!

"there will be sometime without electricity in the new system I guess ..."
That WILL be interesting............how will the young ones cope without their mobile phones and other electronic gadgets
e.g. some time ago I went into "Maccas" and their computers were down and when I paid for the order the young girl was trying to work out the change with a pencil and paper.........3 times she tried........3 times she was wrong.........the shift manager came over to ask me if there was anything wrong, I said no, just that I was intrigued that many young peoples abilities in maths and English are usually pretty poor..........however, I will say that most of our young ones are streets ahead..........all due to study of the Bible and of course their preparation and participation in meetings..........the education system in Australia......and I am guessing in many other parts of the Western world is a farce........

Listen!!!...........I am nearly 77 years old..........this modern technology is rather confusing to me.........when we moved into a new college in the mid 90's i came up from the workshop to my office, and there were 2 admin young women installing a computer on my desk..........I said to them take it away, because I can guarantee it will have a nasty accident within a week.........when I came up for lunch - behold no computer..............I heard later, the girls went to ask the Principal what they should do.........they were told in no uncertain terms, don't do it because it will have an accident (the Principal knew that I would keep my word)
To cut a long story "shorter".....hahaha......we had been using overheads in our teaching, (I do not know how we managed???). When the subject that I was teaching, (marine engineering), went over to private industry, I went with it.........i soon learnt how to produce power point programs.......WOW! what a difference..........I can handle "word" alright because i wrote and printed student resources in word........I can surf the net......I have a mobile phone that I us as a phone and I can text, even if I am slow........I also have a Apple iPad for witnessing and I can show interested householders a video..........even if I may take a bit longer than I should........."all due to situations beyond my control".........that's my story and I am sticking to it!!!!!
Hey!..........Donald Duck.........or should I say President Donald Duck..........he twitters or tweets........or whatever it is, doesn't he?????
Fancy that a president carrying on like a "teenager"!!!!

ARchiv@L reacted to John Lindsay Barltrop in Who is Gog of Magog Mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel?
Repetition is, when learning most things, is an advantage, (especially to us as JW's when studying God's Word). We in our imperfect state do tend to forget things and the Brothers kindly remind us of many of the important things, by repetition and we can be truly thankful for that.
Its like when we use a number of specific scriptures in the preaching work.........once we use have used them a quite a few times we tend to remember them.........even years later, we can generally call them to mind, if the need arises........and, this is why it is important to try to use scriptures in, for example in the segment "Teach the Truth" in our Christian Life and Ministry meetings........it enlarges our repertoire of scriptures.
