Russia’s Ministry Of Justice Moves To Ban Jehovah’s Witnesses In Russia by Godskidk(m): 8:43am On Apr 05, 2017 |
Russia’s Ministry of Justice (Ministry) has filed a claim with the Supreme Court, seeking “to declare the religious organization, the Administrative Center of Jehovah’s Witnesses, extremist, ban its activity, and liquidate it.” On March 15, 2017, the Supreme Court posted notice on its official website that it had received the claim from the Ministry. The Administrative Center later received notice that the Supreme Court will consider the liquidation claim and has scheduled a hearing for 10:00 a.m., today April 5, 2017. A decision by the Supreme Court in favor of the claim brought by the Ministry would have dire consequences for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia. The Witnesses could lose properties dedicated to religious worship, almost 400 legal entities could be dissolved, and each of the over 170,000 Witnesses could be criminally prosecuted merely for meeting for worship, reading the Bible together, or talking to others about their faith. Vasiliy Kalin, a representative of the Administrative Center in Russia, stated: “The profound desire of each of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia is just to be able to worship our God peacefully. For over 100 years, the authorities in Russia have trampled on the guarantees of their own laws, which grant us this right. I was just a boy when Stalin exiled my family to Siberia merely because we were Jehovah’s Witnesses. It is sad and reprehensible that my children and grandchildren should be facing a similar fate. Never did I expect that we would again face the threat of religious persecution in modern Russia.” What do you think? Is the move by the Russian Ministry of Justice right or wrong? Give your reasons.... Seun |

" If they hate me , for sure they will hate you " - Jesus Christ One of the key signs of true worship , warned by Jesus Himself. whatever it is Jehovahs will will never be thwarted. Adolf Hitler tried but how are JWs in Germany faring now ? Flourishing |

So far they didnt break the law,commit any deliberate act of terrorism,coercion or incite the populace to violence,then I see no reason to liquidate the JW movement in Russia. However,I will admit that many religious groups nowadays covertly teach that government belongs to God alone.This is not supposed to be so,as such teachings can be taken as anti-state,just like the shiite movement in Nigeria. |

If the witnesses can get down on their knees, I guarantee you nothing reasonable will come out of this threat. |
