Jw.org baned in Russia. A response from God?

[seasonedWithsalt]

July 21 the JW.org website was banned.

July 20, Russia declares a state of emergency due to a swarm of locusts and southern Russia!

July 27, apocalyptic lightning storms irrupt over Moscow!

Are these unusual events for that area at this time?

Do you have any links that provide more information?

Apparently locusts are an annual occurrence.

Pretty unusual weather going on in Russia but nothing to suggest it is from Jehovah.

 

Let me know if the water turns to blood or frogs swarm the land...

 I'm waiting for the Message of Judgement, they are screwed. Probably it will be in a form of a tract that says: "You're Screwed"

Or 47 pound hailstones shaped like screws....

would they be metric, or imperial?

[Old]

"Screwed", not likely we will see that euphemism in a tract.

[tekmantwo]

Yeah, probably won't see 'snare and a racket' anytime soon either

[Dustparticle]

 I got your points Old and tekmantwo, but it was fun to say it. I hope we are ready to do it.

Shoulders to shoulder my dear friend, under the pinions of God....

Doesn't that make them about the size of a 5 gallon Sparkletts water bottle??

Your zeal is noted. Of course the message will be SC (Scriptural Correct) however I'm sure they wont miss the 'point'.

I hope I maintain that way I remember I was putting False Religion Near tracts at churches doors. I still got 8 of them left.

Then you aren't done. Get back out there and finish up

 I might add,  I put a tract at a brother house, he told us friends about it and I confess

Anything is possible with Jehovah.

[Tortuga]

Anything is possible with Jehovah.

Possible but not always probable. We can't attribute every weather variation or anomaly on Jehovah just because he has the power to do it.

[Stavro]

This particular swarm of locusts did not miraculously appear on July 20, it had been affecting the region since June.

 

If this did come from Jehovah, then he was punishing for something that they hadn't even done yet, something that was never recorded in the Scriptures.

[surfergirl]

Not everything is recorded in the scriptures & How many times over the yrs has Rusia banned our Brothers from preaching or even been recognized as faith?

True statements but how does that relate to a pest control issue in Russia?

[Stavro]

This is starting to sound like the post-Katrina claims that the hurricane was a punishment from god for allowing gays into the city.

 

Are we really going to start mimicking the attitudes of Christendom, gloating over innocent people suffering merely because they happen to live within the arbitrary national borders of a country ruled by a small group that creates laws to oppose the Kingdom message?

no. its just a question I ask?

[Tortuga]

I'm sorry I misunderstood your question. Do you mind asking it again?

[surfergirl]

How many times has Russia been put under ban?

I'm a thinker. I dont often post in these sort of topics cause it can go sower.

[Stavro]

How many times has Russia been put under ban?

 

Russia has enacted various legal bans against the organization over the past few years.

 

The locust swarms have been in the region now known as southern Russia every year for decades.

 

Personally, I'm not seeing the connection here, unless Jehovah brought the plague against people whose only crime was having grandchildren who would eventually try to ban our literature.
