hahahaha,
What a bunch of muslim idiot blow back....
When was the last time you saw a Jehovah’s Witness blow something up???
The Russians are giving graduate level instruction on how to save Western civilization.
No more door-to-doorskii?
They don’t seem to be rockin’ much at the Kindom Hall. Aren’t they pretty much fading away?
Why waste the time of Russians or anybody else if they are too late to get in on the goodies?
Guess the russian translated Michael Jackson videos are contraband. He eas JW and... a whole lot more apparently.
The Orthodoxers are afraid of losing revenue. Also as the official state church they want to help the Russian govt to rule over the people so any sect that puts conscience above law is to be suppressed.
The word cult is misused as usual. A religion that is open to anyone to join is not a cult. A cult is a closed group that’s hard to join like the KGB or a Satanic Coven. The word cult is used to prepare the way for taking away someone’s rights. Nothing more.
So they’re banning a nonviolent, law abiding religion that pretty much minds its own business because it won’t shill for the government? That makes a whole lot of sense.
Hell, my mother (Episcopalian)used to say the same thing about the Roman Catholics.
It’s not a Christian sect. It’s a heretical movement.
Americans think that a kind of absolute “Freedom of Religion” is a universal concept.
Not at all. The USA and a few other places are very much the exception.
For the rest of the world, religion is national culture, and its very much part of politics. No judgement on it - its simply the way the world is.
JWs are balls to teh wall nutters.
Good! Jehovah Witnesses are false witnesses againt Jesus Christ.
I’m friends with an elderly lady who is a former Witness, and I am quite sure she would agree with that assessment.
It is a cult. Not dangerous except for those inside it.
alternate headline.
Russians Leave No Witnesses.
Well, if I read that Watchtower right, I don’t see anyone speaking Russian in heaven.
Maybe it has something to do with the JWs unwillingness to participate in the military and in civil elections?
A friend’s neice died last year at age 42 from breast cancer as this religion prohibits blood transfusions and therefore, as a believer, she couldn’t undergo surgery. What a waste.
Hiding in basements to avoid persecution. Sounds familiar.
All too typical. The Orthodoxers suffered under communist rule for decades. Now that they are back on top they use the govt to oppress the “heretics”. Yep. Typical.
You know what Nervous Norvus said about Transfusions:
