DISCUSS COURT CASE HERE JW.org - Jehovah’s Witnesses Mobilize Global Response to Threat of Ban in Russia

[Life4u]

If my World Clock is right, it is now 8:59 AM in Russia. I've prayed, you've prayed, all Jehovah's people have prayed! Now let's stand still and see the salvation of Jehovah no matter how it turns out.  If Jehovah allows this to be in their favor, believe he has a plan and will indeed make the way out for friends all over.  This is affecting all of us! But we still need to  "pray constantly"!  1 Th 5: 17

[shali]

I can't sleep either tonight. Waiting, praying and hoping! I live by the mantra: Hope for the best but expect the worst  (that way you are never disappointed). Whatever happens it will be Jehovah's will that it happens, even though we might not understand why. Remember all our brothers and sisters who were exiled to Siberia? How could we know at that time that it was to spread the good news to a region that hadn't heard it before?!!! But Jehovah saw the benefit of that decision and gave our dear friends the endurance and strength they needed and they spread their hope everywhere! Now there are 170,000 + Witnesses in Russia thanks to Jehovah allowing that adversity. We just will never know what Jehovah knows!

They have made an impact of that we can be sure, whether it comes out into the public will be at Jehovah's discretion. Many will still be arriving as well.

 

We followed the cloud and made it clear to the world and more importantly Jehovah whose side we are on

[shali]

Let's face it - Satan's system only loves the 'bad'. If the decision is NOT favorable, it will be all over the news (for a whole 10 seconds), if it IS favorable it probably won't get much coverage.

Yes, Victoria you are right! I didn't notice St. Petersburg  and Moscow have different times?  Or maybe I need to leave this clock alone...lol

[Victoria]

It took the judge about 15 min to ban JWs in our city

[New World Explorer]

[Stormswift]

I'm so nervous for them, but know Jehovah is in the drivers seat.

I was given to believe that Russia was 7 hours ahead of us here in the US.  If so, the trial would of started at 5:00 p.m our time on 4/4/17.

Whether it be this court decision or natural disasters many of us are facing right now, we are all in this together if it happens to ONE of our brothers and sisters it happens to all of us.

This amazing aspect of UNITY the world will never understand.

We  did not even enter 1000 y reign and Jehovah has already accomplished so much in a short period of time.

I never truly comprehended how much Jehovah and Jesus have accomplished here on earth by means of the Kingdom until I went through the God's Kingdom Rules book for the first time!  I was ashamed at what I didn't realized and amazed at what I did realized but hadn't put together (connected the dots)  - Jehovah's earthy organization is AMAZING in every way possible.  We have so many things that others WANT and will never experience, it's truly mind boggling.
