After Metro's disclosure of Jehovah's Witnesses: The police are launching a preliminary investigation into hatred against people At a gathering at the Stockholm Fair, Jehovah's Witnesses showed films with anti-hbtq messages. Now the police have launched a preliminary investigation into suspected hatred against people.  On Sunday, Jehovah's Witnesses showed several films during their gathering at the Stockholm Fair, which is part of the City of Stockholm. In one of the films, strong distance from hbtq people is taken. In total there were about 8,000 people in the audience during the event, hundreds of them were children. According to the Norwegian Media Council, which has the task of setting the age limits for films to be shown to children under the age of 15, the event fulfilled the criteria for a "general gathering" and the films would, by law, have an age limit set by the authority. But the films were never sent to the state media council and a police announcement of the incident was received on the weekend. The police now confirm that they have initiated a preliminary investigation. Two crime suspicions - The one is about the films that have been shown and we investigate two suspected crimes. Both showing films for children under the age of 15, but also suspected people's groups about a movie that should be about hbtq issues, "says Sara Isaksson, investigator at the police's Democracy and Hate Breach Group.  Right now the police are collecting evidence and information about what has happened. Among other things, the police want to get the movie about hbtq questions. "D plays a big part in the content of the film, and it is noted that there is a contradiction to homosexuals," says Sara Isaksson. As of May 22, the Norwegian Media Council sent an email to the Stockholm police where they wrote that they suspected that there would be violations of law during the event. Sara Isaksson can not answer why the police did not respond to the tip. "You are difficult to answer what you made for decisions there," she says. This weekend, Jehovah's Witnesses have a new gathering in Malmö with the same program as in Stockholm. Available from the fair Over the past four years, Jehovah's Witnesses have had their annual gathering at the Stockholm Fair. But the weekend's events may have been the last. - There should be no activity at the Stockholm Fair which is incompatible with legislation. If that has been done, then it's regrettable, says Thomas Andersson, vice president at Stockholms Stadshus AB. Will Jehovah's Witnesses get the Stockholm Stock Exchange again? - There may be no activities that violate the law at the fair. We will see what the investigation shows, says Thomas Andersson.

Lyrics to the July JW Broadcast song: (compliments of Brother Chew) I'm Not Alone Abandoned and betrayed, Forsaken and alone, Despair my one companion, My heart within me like a stone With no one here for me, No kindly word of care, Who’ll offer consolation? My heavy burden, who can share? I’m not alone; I never was. I’ll never be, And all because Jehovah knows; Jehovah sees. He hears my prayer; He’s here with me. Whatever comes my way, I’m never alone. Whatever I may lose By sticking close to you, No matter who may fail me, I know you’ll never be untrue. You’re close to me, O God, And never far away. My faith, my hope, reliance? — I know you never will betray. I’m not alone; I never was. I’ll never be, And all because Jehovah knows; Jehovah sees. He hears my prayer; He’s here with me. Whatever comes my way, I’m never alone. I never was. I’ll never be, And all because Jehovah knows; Jehovah sees. He hears my prayer; He’s here with me. Whatever comes my way, I’m never alone.

There is not special about the yellow... here are some blue ones.... although I'm not sure why they all want to dress the same? Usually the sisters always say they DON"T want to wear the same dress as another sister.... or am I wrong?

A working group from the Ministry of Defence said that Finland's laws exempting Jehovah's Witnesses from military conscription should be abolished. The working group presented their report - which proposes that Finland repeal the exemption law - to Defence Minister Jussi Niinistö on Monday. Every year in Finland some 20,000 young men take part in the country's mandatory military conscription programme. Instead of serving in the military, young men have the option of carrying out their national service in civilian settings. But young Jehovah's Witnesses have had the right to refuse to serve the country - militarily or even in a civilian capacity - since 1987. The topic of whether followers of the Christian denomination should be compelled to serve in Finland's military has been debated for years. Teemu Penttilä, leader of the defence ministry working group behind the report, said the time to change the law has arrived. "The civil service [system] has changed significantly in recent years. For example, religious communities now offer places of employment [in civil service]. There has been a clear societal change," Penttilä said. Long history Finland has been dealing with this issue for more than a decade. In 2006 a Defence Ministry working group examined the topic but did not reach any conclusions. A similar effort - this time consulting foreign experts - was carried out in 2009 but had similar results. Efforts by defence ministers in 2011 and 2013 also failed to reach a solution. The subject re-emerged this year. In a pivotal ruling, the Helsinki Court of Appeal found that permitting male Jehovah's Witnesses to avoid conscription was discriminatory. The implementation of the law protecting Jehovah's Witnesses from conscription more than three decades ago came as a response to criticism Finland received from the UN Human Rights Committee. The committee said it viewed conscientious objectors as prisoners of conscience and accused Finland of not fulfilling its international obligations. Before the law changed in the late 1980s, every year dozens of Jehovah's Witnesses were jailed for not complying with conscription laws. Increase in total objectors possible Jehovah's Witness' spokesperson Veikko Leinonen has previously said Finland's laws on mandatory civil service violate the religious group's authority. Leinonen warned that abolishing the exemption would result in a return to the situation before the law was instated, and that members of the church would rather choose to serve jail sentences than serve. But the Defence Ministry's Penttilä disagreed, saying that the working group consulted several Jehovah's Witnesses representatives who vowed that no one would be excluded from the church for carrying out civil service duties. "We're aware there's a risk the number of total objectors may rise. But the working group found that it will not be a significant increase," Penttilä said. https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/finnish_jehovahs_witnesses_not_exempt_from_conscription_working_group_finds/10285341

OLYMPIA, Wash. - The Olympia Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses was heavily damaged in an overnight fire that investigators are calling suspicious. Firefighters say the fire at the hall at 2225 Cain Road Southeast was called in at 3:07 a.m. Tuesday. Investigators are trying to determine how it started. A person of interest was picked up by officers about eight blocks from the hall. Police say he had soot on his hands but it is not yet known if he is a witness or a suspect. The fire is the second at the place of worship this year. In March, a fire was started on an exterior wall there with the use of an accelerant, like gasoline, according to investigators. In that fire, Olympia police released surveillance video of the arsonist setting the fire, in the hope that someone would recognize him. No one was arrested. A second fire at a Jehovah Witnesses Hall in Tumwater was also deemed arson earlier this year. Police said the person of interest in Tuesday's fire does not match the description of the person who set fire to the same hall in March. No injuries were reported. https://www.kiro7.com/news/south-sound-news/olympia-jehovahs-witnesses-hall-heavily-damaged-by-fire/782030044
