NEWS! – Russia Has Banned the Jehovah Witnesses
Russia had banned the Jehovah Witnesses making it illegal. The reason was saying it was guilty of extremism. Not stated by the Russian government is that possibly they viewed the group to be extreme because it was a pacifist group which did not celebrate Russia’s aggressive military actions.
People often joke about hiding behind the curtains when JW’s knock on the door. However remember Niemöller, a German Protestant “Pastor”, who is perhaps best remembered for this quotation:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
