[b][/b] Why ban Jehovah’s Witnesses? .

Russia's degree on "extremism" is very simple and plain. Religious freedom is over emphasized in Russia but there's a boundary to whatever teachings you can come up with.. respect other religions! eg "never try to instill hate, contempt or disdain on your followers minds towards other Religions"
Jws public publications never disappoint in trying to claim to be on the light while maintaining that other denominations are controlled by Satan.. In Russia that's extremist view... They don't also disappoint in defending any of their practices, practices like not participating in warfare refusing blood transfusions, shunning and demonizing of ex members)...

When they insist on following these practices, fighting off any confrontation that might be a call for moderation, it vividly brings their extremism (according to Russia) into light because on these three popular practices, they are calling other non jw / other Christian denominations "stupid", devilish or false and theirs to be the only "truth"
Muslims no doubt might face the same music (but they seem to be adjusting in Russia though).. Jws leaders will never adjust or fully respect a countries policies without keeping their policies on the top.

Every jw is required to write a letter.. A new campaign in protest to the imminent ban on April 5.
Are they trying to dissuade putin??

Wait wait... Aren't they "no part of the world!".. You don't vote, don't participate in politics. And you guys have already braced up for Satan's attacks or persecution.. Cus you all have been wired to agree that" this life is not all there is "

What has happened.? When did you guys turn hypocrital?
