We feel for our brothers. They have been down this road before though and ultimately it is our God Jehovah that directs his people. His will must be done! The work we do is not our own. We have faced persecution in many lands throughout the Earth and have triumph in time in our desire to teach the truth. All in due time. When Jehovah decides it is time to allow the people of Russia to hear his word no man will hinder it.

As usual it is the arm of Satan's World that most people are quick to associate with God are the very ones used by the Devil to frustrate God`s will, in this case the State Religion.

We pray that our brothers will keep their integrity and continue to glorify Jehovah!

Certainly not the Devil....or those doing his bidding. They tried to censor Jesus, they tried to censor the apostles.

We MUST obey God as ruler rather than men.

One thing for certain is that we do not cower to the Authorities of this World and water down God's word to gain friends.

We do not undermine them either or even participate in Politics to get our way.

We use the laws of the Land to state our case where granted the chance peacefully. Then we live it up to our God!

Whether it is the US, Canada, France, Spain, Australia, Germany the list goes on, from its infancy when the Brothers taking the lead were sentenced to 20 years in prison to now, it has always worked out.

I don't understand why you think so, but every time I told a JW that they should come back in a week since this is not a good time for me, they would always say there is no better time than now

The second time she stick around for about 5 minutes at the door preaching and refuse to come in and sit. Third time she not only come een but also accepted the glass of juice I offered although claiming that she not supposed to do that. She spent about half an hour......

Today I am a believer. I don't not like the pagan intrusion into the early church ... I tend to agree with JW and 7th Day Adventists

Move to Russia then!

Wherever we knock on doors it is because we have the right to do so!

Never have I seen so much hate for something someone does not care about...maybe you should look up the word zealot, you are displaying more atributes of a zealot than I...stalking and abusing anyone who dares declare belief in God!

 
SnoopDog 2017-04-20 22:07:42

You knock on my door and you're a trespasser asshole. You have zero right.

You live in a secular democracy which means you are free to hold your religious beliefs but you are not free to impose it on others.

I'm with you there Bro.

I could care less who or what people worship in the privacy of their own homes. But the moment they go out in public and try to impose their batshyte beliefs on others - that's where I draw the line.

 
Tryangle 2017-04-21 10:48:12 

In reply to Kay

I get that they are invasive and more than a bit of a nuisance especially early on a weekend morning, but I didn't see that listed in the article as a reason that Russia is labelling them as an extremist group, or "pose[s] a threat to the rights of the citizens, public order and public security".

I know Russia doesn't exactly subscribe to the 'freedom of religion' policy that 'Western' countries claim to do, but it seems a bit reactionary and out of the blue.

 
BeachBum 2017-04-21 11:09:24 

In reply to SnoopDog
Snoop, you call it imposing, however, JWs are looking for those who are willing t listen. They're obeying that part of the Bible that says,


Mark 16:15

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.


Did you miss that part, or is it that you don't believe in the Bible? If you do, you need preaching to. big grin

But one bible thumper has already stated in this thread that Mr God doesn't dictate your life. He has given humankind free will and choice.

So, you can exercise your free will and choose to live any which way you want and/or desire. The upshot however, is that this free will and choice comes with an almighty shytty condition - you must chose to believe in Mr. God or face eternal damnation and punishment.

Sounds an awful lot like living in North Korea. lol

God, I believe, created the human being with the ability to do whatever he pleases. He provided a blueprint, but there's no demand to follow it. However, there is a caveat. Which is why I started this whole thing about Putin.

Luke 12:47

And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

The impression I get from Trump is that if it's not the evangelicals, it's not on the radar.

JWs seem to be a *very* distant cousin, if any, to most Christian denominations, for whatever reason (I'd guess the Trinity concept, although maybe it's the WatchTower) so maybe there won't be much condemnation of Russia's policy from other faith groups?
