  1. I'm following the multiple threads regarding the Letter Writing Campaign to Russia, and I thought we should have somewhere to add some experiences. Sooner or later, this will wind down, and we'll be telling stories and experiences about this from here to GT. I thought it would be a good idea to collate some of the stats, some of the news articles, and some of the experiences. Here's some of the highlights that I've gathered. if these things are in error, please let me know: ~oo00oo~ DHL Russia (a courier service) has stopped accepting documents (containing letters to officials) from the Philippines. These brothers will have to use the standard national post. DHL in the Dominican Republic is giving a JW Discount on packages of letters to Russia. Canada post has temporarily suspended acceptance of non-document shipments via Priority Worldwide destined for the Russian Federation. International Stamps are selling out in several post offices (Confirmed in New York, unconfirmed for the UK.) Some nations, such as Ghana, require phone numbers of the intended recipient to ship mail by express courier. Brothers in those lands have already been updated with phone numbers for all these addresses. Several Post Office workers have come to recognize us when we come in, already aware of the campaign. (Specific experiences appreciated) ~oo00oo~ Anyone have any others they'd like to add?
  2. Last summer a special campaign was launched in Romania. There are large areas especially in the South of the country where people have never been visited by Jehovah's Witnesses. Preaching in those areas is quite difficult because public transportation is non-existent, roads are in pitiful condition and fuel is too expensive for our brothers there, most of whom are of very limited resources. Another big problem are Orthodox priests, who still retain a lot of power and don't hesitate to resort to threats or even physical attacks to stop our work. Unfortunately my family was unable to join in the campaign, but some brothers from our congregation did, and they have wonderful experiences. The branch took measures so that all policemen from Romania were informed that we were visiting and that our work is completely legal. If was funny to see the efforts of priests to stop us thwarted in most cases by policemen. There's a report of the campaign in the Romanian edition of "Our Kingdom Ministry" of February 2014. Since it doesn't appear in editions in other languages, I am translating here what it says: During the months of July and August 2013, a special preaching campaign has been carried on in unassigned territories in Romania, in an area with a population of around 4,5 million. Over 2000 zealous pioneers and publishers have participated in this campaign, coming from Romanian-speaking congregations and groups in Europe and the United States. They have joyously worked together with 116 local congregations which have offered them accommodation as well as everything necessary. During these two months, 41% of the unassigned territory has been covered, and the local people's reaction has been extraordinary. Many burst into tears of joy when they read the message of hope directly from their Bibles. 31379 Bible studies were initiated. Jehovah is clearly ‘speed it up in its own time’! (Is. 60:22) Wow! Considering the number of publishers in Romania is around 38,000, 31,000 new students is a huge figure. And there's still a 60% of territory to cover! That means there's potential for the number of publishers in Romania to triplicate when the whole territory is worked. These are thrilling times for Jehovah's people!
