Russia's Supreme Court has accepted the government's request to designate Jehovah's Witnesses as an outlawed religious group, deeming it to be an extremist organisation.
The justice ministry argued that the group had distributed pamphlets which incited hatred against other groups.
Lawyers representing the group reject the claims and say they will appeal.
The denomination says it has 175,000 members in Russia - a country where it was persecuted during the Stalin era.
An estimated eight million people worldwide are part of the Christian-based movement, best known for going door-to-door looking for new converts.

The man on the picture is Stalin by the way
That’s correct. Bombers too. Thanks for posting.
OK that made me LOL
I gotta admit, 2 hit the door at 7:30 a.m. a couple Saturdays ago.
Ordinance not necessary. They will put your address on their no-knock list if you ask them to. No need to seek a govt solution for a minor annoyance.
'Tis a strange question, but no; just informed.
They'll put THEMSELVES on it if they find out you happen to know just a LITTLE bit of what the Biblical message is!
Sorry, I should have written that most ex JWs are still Christian. That’s why I thought you were judging those that did not accept JW. Very sorry again, my mistake.
I posted a reply to you, post 68, except I posted to myself, please look at it as I made an error.
The ordinance takes care of all solicitors, some of whom are much more than a minor annoyance. Haven’t had to deal with one in 32 years. Hallelujah!
It seemed so; that why I said it was a strange question.
No offense taken.
I don’t use Bing or Google. Is there a point to linking to a search?
IT’s aren’t Christian. They do not believe Jesus is divine; they believe he is an angel. Since only 144,000 can be saved, I guess those millions of them out there are just butting their heads against a wall.
Thank you. I have not had anything to do with that religion for five decades but it still left its mark.
rk.
I can only guess.
My half brother and his wife are JWs.
They don’t have much to do with me.
Most people do.
I wanted to find out what was available to be known about...

They tried to give Putin a copy of “Votchchtauver”, so banned.
