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

[sunshine]

It's not looking good if they waved the brothers legally sound objections.  Still we must keep in mind Proverbs 21:1

 

"A king’s heart is like streams of water in Jehovah’s hand."

 

While we are waiting (and I am sure praying) keep in mind the encouraging words of Psalms 27 (as read in the famous "bunker video")

 

 

27 Jehovah is my light+ and my salvation.

Whom should I fear?+

Jehovah is the stronghold of my life.+

Whom should I dread?

 2 When evil men attacked me to devour my flesh,+

My adversaries and my enemies were the ones who stumbled and fell.

 3 Though an army should set up camp against me,

My heart will not fear.+

Though war should break out against me,

Even then I will remain confident.

[Dages]

verse 4 too

 4 One thing I have asked from Jehovah

—It is what I will look for—

That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life,+

To gaze upon the pleasantness of Jehovah

And to look with appreciation* upon his temple.*+

Whatever the outcome, i am cofident that Jehovah will act. And he will do it in STYLE.

Of course, ... i wouldn't do it any other way ... just annoys me that is all - brothers and sisters liking these silly posts without even sourcing their origins. I'm not for them Guri in the least hope I didn't convey I was.

So obvious who backs them isn't it? Well whichever way it goes I'm so proud to be on Jehovah's side.

13:50	The court left the meeting room. In the suspension of the case denied.
13:55	Lawyer Zhenkov declares a petition to involve specialists, namely religious scholars and linguists, in the case. Experts can clarify whether the texts that underlie the Ministry of Justice's demand to ban an entire religion in Russia are really extremist and dangerous.
14:00	Asked by the judge whether the lawyers offer to "audit" the decisions of the courts with which the literature was included in the FEMC, the lawyers explained that this information will be important for ascertaining the proportionality of the requirements of the Ministry of Justice.
14:04	The representative of the Ministry of Justice objects to admission of specialists to the hearing.

can someone explain this in plain English please?

[Guri]

14:05	The court refused to involve experts in the hearing of the case.
14:06	Lawyer Zhenkov asks to involve 9 foreign legal entities representing religious associations of Jehovah's Witnesses in Europe and America to participate in the case. The reason is that the Ministry of Justice in its lawsuit asks the court to confiscate real estate objects belonging to these organizations.

From what it looks like, they have decided not to delay the case, and the lawyer wishes to bring in religious scholars and linguist specialists to defend the brothers and our material (books, magazines etc) to show that they are not of extremist nature.

The Russian Court keeps dismissing our petitions ... which is not good for us.

The case is not going well...  so far.

[UpstateKate]

My guess is that they want to involve other members of our organization outside of Russia as the society owns the Kingdom Halls they want to seize.
