      Is there? Have you any figures to reveal? The average number of JW's in Poland in 2023 was 115,149. This is an increase of 2% from the previous year. So, yes, I'm sure people have decided to leave, this happened to the 1st century Christians too(see 1 John 2.19)so no change here then! But there are many who are accepting the truth also.

      @@edwardbarnard5830 you have no idea how many left in 1976? When my parents were baptised in 1973 at the Sydney international convention, 1086 ppl were baptised that day. It was the stay alive for 75 movement. I was their in 73. Growing up in thus cult, thousands have left. Tell me Edward how many are getting baptised from your field ministry? How many from cart witnessing? I will tell you here in Australia zero. The baptisms are children of jw parents. So stop your bullshite lies. The proof is in front of u, yet your blind to facts.

      There was a 5% increase in the average number of JWs in the Philippines, from 2022 to 2023.
      There were in 2023 245,475 JWs. The number of persons attending the Memorial celebration was more than double, 665,087. So, most of those attending were not baptized JWs.

So I don’t see Ethiopia on the list, but I remember I wanted to visit South Africa and it’s very very expensive to travel anywhere in Africa from America, but found a flight on Ethiopia airlines that was lowered price and connected through Ethiopia and I asked my jw friend and she said “no’ we can’t go on that flight because Ethiopia hates JWs and I refuse to even go on a flight connecting through Ethiopia.” Sigh.

I’m married living a clean life with my wife and 6 kids but because I’ve brought up a couple of things I wanted to bring up with my elder dad I too am lighter shunned and I’m 38 and have never thought my life would become this because I did my own research but I can’t explain anything to my family that are in and btw my autistic brother was dfed for vaping after his wife left him and he was under a lot of stress and now he’s talking about suicidal thoughts and it’s really hurting me to the core it’s even effected my own marriage but all the blame comes back on me if I ever bring anything up and I’m alive but me and my brother feel dead inside and have lost all or family and friends. I’m a man with not a lot of money but I have true love and respect for everyone and others everyone else sees it except my own family. They were even told not to come to my own wedding 3 years ago and that really hurt me knowing I’m not defed nor do I ever make extreme remarks about the religion. I had only my brother and his wife at my wedding and that is something I will never forget as I actually felt so bad for just my wife and her family I left early and went to bed by myself I was so out of it and that pain will always be there unless they ever change there minds and decide to ask me why I don’t want to come back but they are not allowed to talk to me about anything! I have a lot to say in regards of just my life regarding this cult and my own family has chosen to take the cults side over there own kids and when I tried to explain my brother to my dad I was shut down and just heard it’s ok he made his own mind up and if he were to commit suicide he would just come back in the new world it’s so sad but I still love my brother and will never let him down and I still love my parents I just wish things were different but Somme things never change ❤

      ​​​​​@@MonicaRaserokaChristianity comes from the middle East, Israel, not the "West"! The first Christians were Jews.
      Islam comes from the Middle East, Arabia. But you will find Muslims in the USA. Buddhism comes from the Far East. The religion of Buddhism is found in the USA.
      Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity, told his followers to "make disciples of people of *all nations* "- Mathew 28.18-20. See also Acts 1.8; Revelation 14.6. Hence his followers will be found in all the nations. Early Christians were also 'banned.' First, by the authorities in Jerusalem, and then by the Roman authorities. So, true Christians today will not be surprised they will be 'banned' in some nations. They would be surprised if they were not.

      The Maldives constitution designates Islam as the state religion, requires citizens to be Muslim, and requires public office holders, including the President, to be followers of Sunni Islam. The constitution provides for limitations on rights and freedoms “to protect and maintain the tenets of Islam” and does not specifically establish religious freedom nor identify religion as a category on which discrimination is prohibited. The law states that both the government and the people must protect religious unity, and propagation of any religion other than Islam is a criminal offense. The law criminalizes “criticism of Islam” and speech “in a manner likely to cause religious segregation.” The penal code permits the administration of certain sharia punishments, such as flogging, stoning, and amputation of hands.
      During the year, courts sentenced 12 persons to flogging, although none of the sentences were carried out. In August, the Criminal Court convicted Mohamed Rusthum Mujuthaba on charges of “criticizing Islam” and “producing or distributing obscene material” and sentenced him to three months and 18 days’ imprisonment. Mujuthaba was released, however, following sentencing, as he had already served six months in custody during the trial.
      The Ministry of Islamic Affairs (MIA) continued to maintain control over all matters related to religion and religious belief, including requiring imams to use government-approved sermons in Friday services. The government continued to prohibit resident foreigners and foreign tourists from practicing any religion other than Islam in public. In September, the Maldives Police Service (MPS) arrested three Indian nationals for possession of an “idol” in Bilehdhoo island, but later deported them without charges.
      On June 21, a group of men armed with flags and water bottles attacked participants at an event organized by the government and the Indian High Commission to mark the International Day of Yoga. In the days leading up to the event, religious nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and scholars asked authorities to stop the event, saying it encouraged Hindu practices and thus was “irreligious.” The MPS arrested 21 men immediately following the incident. NGOs continued to report that persistent online and in-person threats against individuals perceived to be insufficiently Muslim effectively foreclosed the possibility of meaningful discussion of religious issues in the country. NGOs continued to report instances of individuals deemed “secularists” or “apostates” receiving death threats and being cyberbullied. NGOs reported that authorities continued to fail to act against online death threats and hate speech against those perceived to be critical of Islam.
      The U.S. Mission to Maldives is based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. U.S. officials regularly raise concerns with Maldivian counterparts about the harassment of individuals and organizations characterized as” irreligious” and have urged the government to formulate a long-term strategy to deal with online hate speech and harassment of NGOs and individuals, threats against individuals targeted as “secularists” or apostates,” and promote tolerance of religious traditions other than Sunni Islam.

      How ironic that you've mentioned that America has raised these concerns. The country is responsible for destabilizing and stealing from the Global South and / or developing countries 🤔
      The country is currently facilitating the persecution of Palestinians, Congolese, and other countries by unaliving them and stealing resources.

      @MonicaRaseroka I am not defending the USA! (In fact, JWs identify it as the "king of the South." See Daniel 11.29f)But, the report leaned heavily on *independent academic and scholarly sources*, unaligned with any nation, including the USA. In fact, the same source critized the report for being "timid" on its allies, such as Japan and France. The report on the Maldives is correct. Hate crime and intolerance based on one's religious affiliations are the norm there.

      Becareful of propaganda, my friend, I'm not promoting Islamic countries by any means. They have their issues, similar to other governments.
      Abrahamic Religion has deep roots in those very countries. Also, Muslim people are still persecuted to this day in Western countries, and no one raises this when we talk about Western countries like America that banned Muslim countries just a few years ago and had children in cages. Or what about the wars around the world that were and are still waged against innocent people in the name of keeping America safe?
      Or how America is stealing resources in Congo and unaliving innocent people?
      Don't ever find yourself in a position defending any government or organisation. Being JWs ourselves in the past, it's easy to see how one can easily be misled.

      Dear Monica,
      I know very well what / who is behind all things you have commented.
      But I will not spend my time and energy explaining that because i see you are also familiar with subject.
      We could probably write a book about connections between, for example, american presidents and middle east rullers, and many other themes.
      Yes, everything you said is ok and valid. But just because you have mentioned all these countries i think you made a mistake. It is not about islamic background these countries have, they just are not role models no matter who is behind them. It is like we are talking about China and human rights, 😂 and 😢 at the same time. Better option is to give an example like Norway. You probably know why. Norway stopped giving money to JW community because of their shunning policy but they can still preach freely. And that is correct way how to deel with organisations that have bad practises according human rights.
      And yes USA are one of the biggest bastard in the world, but still in America you can preach islam, in Europe you can also, but in Egypt and similar countries you do not have the freedom even to go out in public with bible in your hand. On the contrary, Muslims are not persecuted or banned in my country. They have all rights you can imagine and privileges, even more than majority because of the so called positive discrimination. Do not get me wrong again, i am not thinking my country is better then others.
      So, tell me what is the solution for this world?
      Who is our enemy?
      Have you ever heard about Davos and WEF?
      Did you know that WEF had conference in China few days ago?
      How is it possible that westerns democracies and chinese strong hand politics have so much in common and they are even united about vision for the future ?

      You understandably slam JW's DF'ing policy, but praise Islamic countries for cracking down on religeons it does not tolerate. You say these culutrally homogenous nations who as "Beutiful" yet if a Christian/secular country did anything close to this, it would be 'Islamaphobic/Facsist' I find this dissapointing. I appreciate that aprt from Ethiopians Jews - Jewery is mostly hated/distrusted by Black people, so I understand the context of which Israel is being held. I dennounce the Talmud and do not carry water for Zionists. That being said, however I find your discpurse on Israeli citizens being ot allowed to enter certain Islamic countries troubeling. Should Western countries ban people from Islamic countries bc their bretheren have commited violence int eh tname of Taqqiyaa & Jihad? (9/11, 7/11, Musliim grooming gangs, Vans of peace etc...) Of course not, many want Islam to reform.
      While C.T Russel was pobably a Theocratic Zionist in a sense - Modern Witnesess identify as Spiritual Israel, and do not recognise a human govenrment as God's Kingdom

      That is Palestinian's land, and any person who goes to live there is aiding a government in stealing. Yes, including citizens who live there. That's why I feel so strongly about this.
      Also, what you've said is already taking place. Look at how it's normalized to see black and brown people suffering. Trump literally banned Muslims and put their children in cages. What you're accusing other countries is already taking place in Western countries. Muslims can't even wear hijabs in France. They are ostracized and told to go back to their countries.
      Islam is demonized by America through propaganda, so they can justify destabilizing the Global South.

      France follows 'Sacred Secularism' and so has a ban on public/civil servants/teachers from wearing 'Articles of Faith' this includes Crucifixes.
      France has a HUGE problem with Islamic violence e.g: machete attacks for drawling the Prophet/'insults to Islam' therefore there is alot of discourse on Islam in France, but France is a outlier in Europe. In the UK a more 'soft-touch' tolerant view of Islam is mainstream and the political Left actively canvasses for the 'Muslim vote' despite a MASSIVE gap in view of LGBT issues and Women's rights for example. Acid attacks/Honour killings are a taboo issue but they happen nonetheless.
      but coming back the the actual discussion at hand:
      I am can accept criticism of the Witnesses policy of Shunning etc. BUT you cannot pick and choose. Or else cognitive dissonance takes place. I personally know of EX-Muslims who are witnesses & yes DF'ing is small-fry compared to how Muslims 'deal' with Apostates. Yes I know not all groups of Muslims are the same I have been told Turks & Albanians are the most liberal, & Afghanis are the worst I quote "They are crazy, they kill people who leave."

Remember too Many will be called but few will be chosen also Jesus said no one can come to me unless the father draws him. So Jehovah God is doing the selecting and how is he doing this.?
