It is so encouraging to know that our brothers are so observing of the court hearing in Russia. Our unity always makes my faith stronger! I was told by Georgian bethelite brother that governing body member brother Sanderson is attending the court hearing in Russia. He can boost brothers faith in Russia even just by being next to them in courtroom.   I love our brotherhood!

May 6 April come soon. Like tomorow.

I think it is interesting that it isn't going to be resumed till 2PM tomorrow.  In the meantime they can all have a good old chat and see what they can come up with to try and bring us down.  Trouble is, they don't know who they're messing with.  I can just imagine Jehovah, Jesus and the angels all watching from the heavens  .. except for the angels who are assigned to the Memorial campaign of course.

For Linda:

 

The brothers asked: Can the Jehovah's Witnesses from America, Europe and other countries speak take part, after all the Bethel buildings  you want to take belongs to THEM?

 

The court said: No.

 

The brothers asked:  Will you let individual witnessess that have been helped by the Jehovah's Witnesses

 

The court says, no, we are only against the Watchtower organization not individual witnesses.

 

The brothers remind the court that this law will say that individual witnesses become criminals so  it is not just our Watchtower printing.

 

The court says:  Don't care, the answer is no!

 

The Brothers ask: will you let us explain what we do to make sure we don't become "extremist"

 

The court say: ok.

 

 

 

Thank you Sunshine!

The brothers did a good job of transcribing virtually the entire trial. Now would be a good time for the world press to show the puppet judgment that is happening.

Just go back a few pages in this thread and you can read the entire transcript.

Brother Ishaya, don't be depressed, even if we lose this particular battle, we will win the WAR (spiritually speaking of course, don't want my remarks to be taken as a call to "extremism").  The spiritual war, under Christ Jesus our king.

 

Here's the link to a summary of events (you need to use google to translate the page)

https://jw-russia.org/news/17040510-129.html

 

Read back on this thread from about page 40 there are some very encouraging comments and scriptures.  If the Russian brothers have the "Egyptians" in front of them and the "Red sea" behind them, they still have no need to panic, or be sad or depressed, because Jehovah is watching over them.

New World Translation
Ro 9:17 For the scripture says to Pharʹaoh: “For this very reason I have let you remain: to show my power in connection with you and to have my name declared in all the earth.”

This we already knew. Satan is in charge of the news media!

The large beautiful courtroom is crowded. There are more than 200 people, including numerous journalists, representatives of public organizations, foreign embassies. The hearing began at 10:30.

A little less than 250 people remained on the street to wait for the results of the hearing. Povarskaya Street in Moscow is filled with cars with TV transmitting antennas. Many cameras are taking off. From the police radios, the messages "Everything is calm, without incident" are periodically heard. In the hall, representatives of embassies and foreign organizations in the headphones listen to the translation of the process.

[rbrown1205]

 

The case is heard by Judge Yu. Ivanenko. The party of the defendant, the "Administrative Center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia", represents 6 people, including Vasily Kalina from the steering committee, as well as lawyers. Representative of the Ministry of Justice of Russia - Svetlana Borisova. The defendant's objections to the case are added together with the annexes in 35 volumes. The court allowed photography and video recording only when the final act was announced. However, for audio recording there are no obstacles. About 40 media representatives are present in the hall, they occupy the first rows in the hall.
