Because their Real Estate holdings were not in jeopardy in those other countries.

The Society also funneled about 56 MILLION DOLLARS of the Brotherhood's money to the Russkies, through the Universal Postal Union Terminal duty charges of 70% of the value of affixed postage costs to pay the Russkies to deliver the mail at their end of the pipeline ....  which gives complete plausible deniability that it was NOT a bribe.

No one would EVER read 64 million letters, so I guess they got a lot of "fuel at the proper time" for their furnaces that winter, as well.

And the Society was STILL cut down as wheat before a scythe.

Also there were 175,000 fellow worshippers  threatened with imprisonment.  In the past, fellow worshippers have written to despots and dictatorial governments in behalf of  their  brothers and sisters. Happy to do so.

American Lawyers think out of law books ..... Russian Lawyers think out of a long box with rifles and bayonets.

Not understanding the difference is why we were completely and totally devastated.

Have they recently done a worldwide letter campaign due to the persecution in Eritrea where there are over 50 JWs imprisoned? 🤔 Every life counts, it should not be about quantity  

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

Persecution of one man is a travesty ... persecution of 50 or more is a statistic.

The deaths of six million are a footnote.

Jehovah’s witnesses in years past have written to Nazi Germany, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Malawi, Liberia, Haiti, Dominican Republic oppressive governments and dictators  to name a few. I have personally participated in many such letter writing campaigns.   Feel free to write letters of encouragement to those imprisoned in Eritrea.  Their names and  locations are available on JW.org
