Where is Hitler today?
Because in the EU Germany has the highest population of JWs when talking about the ratio of the number of German citizens to JWs in that country! smiley


Whoever touches us touches the pupil of the eyes of Jehovah our God. Zechariah 2:8
So Jehovah made sure the name and reputation of the useless Hitler continues to rot(Proverbs 10:7) while the number of Jehovah’s people continued to grow(Acts 5:14) in the same land where Hitler was raised.

In due time, those inhabiting Kremlin will learn their lesson from their former allies.

“‘I will call for a sword against him on all my mountains,’ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. ‘Every man’s sword will be against his own brother. I will bring my judgment against him with pestilence and bloodshed; and I will rain down a torrential downpour and hailstones and fire and sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many peoples with him. And I will certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah" Ezekiel 38:21-23

What Satan's agents don't realize is that Jehovah, Jesus and JWs are ONE! John 17:22

In the first century Satan tried to used his evil agents to intimidate Our brothers but despite all the persecution and killings Jehovah's name was sanctified so that the Christian Greek Scriptures (New Testament) has come to stay!

Despite all the hatred Satan is building in the heart of his agents around the world today, JWs are moving ahead with the work Jesus gave us to do.

Despite the pandemic see people from all over the earth getting baptized in the ongoing convention globally! smiley

Mr Gambit23, your opinion is yours and yours alone so don’t project it to me.

What you’re unaware is that the Nazis tried doing the same thing during World War 2. Hitler vowed to exterminate Jehovah’s Witnesses yet decades later, Jehovah’s Witnesses held their international convention in the same stadium where Hitler made that declaration. Where is Hitler today? Where are Jehovah’s Witnesses today?
The latter kept on flourishing and today they number more than 164,000 in the same land where the worthless and useless Hitler declared their extermination. Meanwhile, Hitler is no where to be found, in fact his legacy is reprehensible!

So it’s too bad there are no Gamaliel’s in the Russian government to tell those instigating the persecution of JWs to give it time to see whether the organization is from God or men. Acts 5:34-39
Maybe they have not learnt their lesson from their former ally, but in due time trust me they will.

Mr Gambit23, we are all humans and if we’re going by that theory, the meaning of that word “extremism” is relative and it may have even lost its meaning given that difference in beliefs means one party has to call the other “extremist”.

No wonder the British came and disrupt your system of worship by telling you that it's useless worthless and hopeless whereas theirs is worse!
Guy if you are against any form of worship that's not coming after you then be prepared for the extermination of the entire human race. Because no matter how stupid any religion is to you once they're not coming to force their beliefs down your throat any attempt to stop them is tantamount to infringement of their fundamental human right and they will be fully prepared to lay down their lives for their faith.
So tell me who is the extremist now, the one practicing his religion without coming to force you or Boko Haram? cheesy

You can't distinguish between the proclaimers and the practicers so i don't blame you!

Now let me enlighten you a bit on what you failed to realise. As a former Muslim whose clerics told that Christians aren't following Jesus' teachings i decided to read the gospel account of Jesus on my own and began searching for those PRACTICING what Jesus taught as a group!

I know this will sound strange to you. I'm an ex intelligence agent so i know the difference between someone claiming he's into a profession and someone PRACTICING it! smiley

I know it may hurt you to know that you've been thoroughly deceived about what Christianity truly means. But it's not too late to know the truth if you're willing.

Christianity is not about what people profess with their mouth {Matthew 15:8} rather it has to do with how they are able to PRACTICE what Jesus taught which supposed to yield positivity in the gathering of the adherents! Matthew 7:16-18 smiley

This is the first thing that came to my mind the time i begin to realise how much hatred some people have towards the JWs.
What most critics don't know is that it's when JWs are vilified that you're calling the attention of sincere individuals!
For instance my own father so much hated the JWs to the point that he instigated the first elected Lagosian senators to move a motion against them in 1982. This was read before the Senate that year but Shehu Sagari's government had serious issues with the masses that time so JWs case was pending due to austerity measures imposed on the people back then. Both the ruling party (NPN) and opposition (UPN) back then couldn't agree on the move not until their reelection in the year 1983. That year they began deliberating on the move again and suddenly Muhammad Buhari ousted that regime and that was the end of Jakande who was my father's best friend that initiated the Lagosian senators on the matter.

Next is Gbolahan Mudashiru the military governor appointed by Buhari led government over Lagos, this man beleive that since Jakande was the best civilian governor back then all his plans must be filled with wisdom so the military regime revisited the abandoned motion again. What the civilian regime capitalized on as the offence of JWs is their none participation during the electoral process but that doesn't make sense to the military who were self-appointed. So what other accusations were levelled against the JWs?
Tunde Idiagbon who was the then Chief of staff supreme headquarters that year was really annoyed when he read that this group will not recite the National Anthem! angry
So instead of attacking the JWs directly which may question their self-appointment in the face of the Western World that's backing democracy. Idiagbon under the disguise of patriotism began the nation wide campaign against all civil servants and Nigerian students enjoying free education but refusing to salute the flag, recite the National Anthem or Pledge.

Of course that's an indirect attack on the JWs! undecided
This lasted for just a year and few months when Babangida led coup ousted Buhari/Idiagbon regime and announced freedom of speech, expression and worship the same system that favoured JWs making America the world power till today!

For your information Babangida is the first and foremost African military ruler who left power without a coup and wasn't ousted but deliberately handed over to a civilian government of his choice. WHY? Babangida considered so many things before refusing to hand over to Abiola the winner of June 12 election. One thing that's significant is that Abiola loved carrying along the people and he could have reawaken the dead motion against JWs if pressured.
Nigerians did so many things to kill Babangida even making rituals and other enchantments but Babangida is still alive till today. Nothing happened to him.

Lesson learned! The way we humans view things totally differs from the way God view it {Isaiah 55:8-9} to most Nigerians today Babangida was the worstest Nigerian ruler who promoted corruption. But before the God of JWs this man prevented the enemies from stopping His work in the world's most populous black Nation!

I also remembered one islamist named Maitason who began a religious war in the north against all other religions back then. This terrorist gained the support of most powerful men back then who were Muslims. Who stopped this killer back then? It is this same Babangida! WHY? IBB may be a practicing Muslim but he is a strong advocate of freedom of worship!
So many people like you may be annoyed with the JWs and their beliefs but i have learnt that whoever treat this people with respect their God will reward such a person in this life, the person may not gain His gift of everlasting life but whatever such a person does will succeed.

Babangida is still hail and healthy today, he has learnt his lessons in Politics but all his enemies back then are gone! smiley

Very good move... undecided

I'm no longer an agent but to be honest with you this is the worstest move the Russian authorities have ever made!

What this event has revealed about Russia's present condition so far!

©Sign of dementia in their Politics.
©Fear and intimidation.
©Lack of regards for the Russian intelligence.
©Dissension within.
©Weakness and Confusion
©Undiplomatic

In my former profession all these are things we mustn't allow the enemies to notice in the Politics of any nation we are working for!

With this move against the world's most peaceful and peaceloving group, the Russians have revealed that they're undergoing great threat from somewhere. Of course they've lost it even before the fight.
I remembered one of our instructors back then, an octogenarian German retired soldier, he said:

"The greatest enemy is DISSENSION you mustn't allow desperation to make you loose your sanity to the extent of creating civil unrest within instead of diplomatically resolving whatever can cause a division in your camp. Once that happens automatically you've lost the battle"

With what is happening in Russia presently any agent can predict that Russia will soon break into pieces again. Trust me i'm talking from the viewpoint of a military intelligence agent, that is the most foolish move! undecided
