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

[Thesauron]

I just read this Newsweek article: http://www.newsweek.com/russia-jehovahs-witnesses-ban-case-580227

It made me think. Is it dangerous to go against a doctor's recommendation in Russia?

Vasiliy Kalin, a member of the presiding committee for the Administrative Center of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia, stated while addressing the Court: “I want to remind the Ministry of Justice that your request to ban Jehovah’s Witnesses would hurt the very people who wish you a peaceful, happy life.”

Thats what I said in my letter too!

Is a Russian Turtle an oxymoron?

"  Tortuglisky" when translated means "Little Turtle Wife"

In Russian Turtle is: Cherepakha. 

I prefer to call you Tortuga

I think we should keep our discussion serial.

Everyone knows that over use of oxymoron has become a great problem in the medical community.

Turtles are a minority group and we should limit offensive comments to those that can be confirmed.

In some areas 'Tortuglisky' could be a perjorative.

I ask you, where is the chocolate!

Our brothers in Russia have a very positive attitude and a very strong  faith in Jehovah. I have been writing a brother in Russia for over 10 years.  This is what he wrote to me on April 3, 2017

Thank you for prayers and letters. We are confident that Jehovah will support us in our ministry, whatever events happen in Russia. On April 5, I will attend the session of the Supreme Court. The authorities are silent, do not give comments. But, there is a strong propaganda in the media, they are setting people against us, saying that we are extremists. We all continue to hope that very soon Jehovah will establish justice on Earth.

I did indeed!! Hehe! 

So glad it's been postponed until after the memorial- we can all give one last push this weekend to get the invites out without anything to worry about now! 

Jehovah certainly does things in style...x

[Margaret]

I pray they may meet in peace for the Memorial, but we have seen articles before where they bust in, beat our family, and say it was our own fault.

I was so glad for all the many pictures that were included in the court transcript as well   ...   What is the name of this Brother and his role in the case?

I was thinking of the reverse translation (to Russian).  If my surname had been Sawyer they probably would have translated it as "the little tree chopper" or something like that.

You mean you're not?

"And when they are taking you to hand you over, do not be anxious beforehand about what to say; but whatever is given you in that hour, say this, for you are not the ones speaking, but the holy spirit is." Mark 13:11
 
The brothers have surely read those words before the trial..

Yes, I remember praying many times for Jehovah to do that for our lawyers.

I'm pretty sure it was.  I remember seeing Axes in one or more of the updates.

In my prime at about 25 years of age, I was just a little more than half the man I am now.  Old age and having married a good cook removes the possibility of being called "little".  I am however, a tree chopper.
