I though this was a discussion forum, not a shouting match between to lions, ok? This was about the press release, how did we digress to property rights and such? Any one here a realtor and been in the truth over 50 years? Or even further, when halls were built by the local congregation, loans bought by the local banks and paid by the congregants, not by the Society. Alll we did was to be sure we did not smear the name of the Watchtower Bible Tract Society of New York, which we were affiliated. Until recently did we become the Christian Congregations of Jehovah's witnesses, worldwide. Loans were bought out by the Society and then forgiven. The building and the land it was built on became the property of the Society. I thought everyone knew this?!?

No. What was so hard about that answer?

Trying to pull up Lord Ahmad's comments that caused the Russian embassy to respond.

I am a subscriber to this media outlet. It is real.

Sweeet potato, they are still there. I use them for reference material.

I am a hunter, no fumbling going on here with a firearm in any situation. I have been there in the midst of that chaos. I am comfortable with my own personal situation with my family's security.

With all the ramping up of violence, there will be time for men to make those decisions. I too am not a sheep, not to allow callous violence if I can avert it. I will with deadly force protect my family. Without hesitation, that is a given. My wife already knows this. No questions asked.
Now if the situation is like the drama during the convention, where our faith is being tested, there will be some restraint. But just out and out violence for evil sake, no way will I just lay down and take it.

Does what she said take away from the name of our Creator? How it is translated into English? I am curious.

So the graphic was written incorrectly? Is that what you are saying JWI? It should read Yod He Vav He? Reading as Hebrew is written, right to left?

Hey poppy, aren't you going to update the information about us? It is misleading to to incorrectly inform or not update information about JW activity. If you are going to be a media outlet. We no longer have Tuesday night Congregational Bible Study. And the Sunday Public discourse is not a hour long. You may also want to,update the stock pictures of the literature we use. The 'black' Bible has been out of service going on 5 years now. So has the song book and the Teach Book!
Since I am a JW, it would be nice to have well informed people told the present truth about us. Not what it was like back in the day! Our beliefs are based in the scripture not made up in our heads. Not what Jesus said about the hypocrites he had to deal with while he was alive. Teaching "man-made doctrines" he said at Mark 7:7. That is not the basis of our core beliefs. Just wanted to leave that comment with you from a long time JW. Have a nice day! Great article, though. It's 2017!

Thank you very much for time and effort. Much love to my sister. Agape! Here in the USA.

Could maybe brother in USA get wrapper for Bible, sis Esther? Would you ask for us also?
-
Patiently waiting on any video of any conventions.
-
Thank you for the audio of the convention.
-
Thank you so very much.
-
Librarian,you are aware when we ask about 'videos' it is not about the videos shown during the convention, but the video of the actual convention, right? That is what we are asking about, not the audio!

There was a PDF of this Watchtower series made in a book form of these articles, Jehovah's word is alive; from Genesis to Revelation combined. I was happy to have downloaded it, but after showing it to my wife who is a pioneer she wished to have it on her device, I could not find it, has it been removed or am I just overlooking it. Or if the person who did this could put it up again I would be truly grateful. Agape my friend!

Micah, I have never based my faith on math or dates. 3 things occurred that are proved scripturally and historically;[1]-Jerusalem was destroyed [2] the land was exiled for some 70 years, and [3] the Word went out to return to the homeland and the temple was rebuilt. Are these not facts? 607; 587 are not why I believe in the scriptures. Try something else.

I agree, nothing at all like this during the video setup. just rumors!
-
thank you!

Thank you very much!

Russian Embassy Press Release
in Topics
Posted
And I said much earlier that I would find Lord Ahmad's comments that spurred the embassy's response in the press release.
This case could be taken to the ECHR, which ruled a previous attempted ban on Jehovah's witnesses in Russia unlawful in 2010, but the court has no power to enforce its decisions and Russia could ignore any verdict.
The British Government(HMG) previously said it was "alarmed" by the ban and called on Vladimir Putin to uphold religious freedom. Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, the minister for human rights, said he was "deeply concerned" by the appeal's rejection in light of Russia's public commitment to freedom of religion.
"This ruling confirms the criminalization of the peaceful worship of 175,000 Russian citizens and contravenes the right to religious freedom that is enshrined in the Russian constitution, " he added.
"The British Government continues to call upon the Russian Government to uphold its international commitment to this basic freedom."
Thus the response from Russia!
