Russia To Label Jehovah's Witnesses As 'extremist Organization' by temitofa(m): 12:07pm On Mar 18, 2017
The Russian Government through the Ministry of Justice has made a move to tag Jehovah's Witnesses, an “extremist organization” after several years of the government’s doubt concerning the group.

A lawsuit was filed with the Supreme Court of Russia against the nation’s headquarters of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, it was not dated and has not yet been slated for legal action, according to the USA Today report.

In reaction to the filing, the office of the press for the Russian headquarters of the religion released a statement on Thursday, March 17, saying it would represent dire consequences for religious freedom in “the country if approved.

It says: Extremism is deeply alien to the Bible-based beliefs and morality of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Persecution of the faithful for peaceful anti-extremism legislation is built on frank fraud, incompetent individual 'experts' and, as a result, a miscarriage of justice.”

The press office said that the decision, if passed by the court, would directly affect more than 175,000 members in more than 2,000 congregations in Russia.

But, this is not first time Jehovah’s Witnesses have been facing legal battles. In 2009, a court ruled against the group’s publications in Russian-language. The popular Watchtower was regarded as an extremist publication and barred it.

In 2015, a Russian court ruled that the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ website was also an extremist publication.

He didn't die mysteriously u religious liar. He freaking shot himself in the face. That was because people actively resisted him and they were already close to apprehending him. If they had been waiting for him to die mysteriously, JWs will probably have been exterminated. So guys should thank the active people who actually do things to make the world a better place and not wait on the patron deity of their religion to sort things out for them while distributing journals everywhere.
