You know there is something wrong with the system when they attack the peaceful people instead of terrorist. What is wrong with this government?
Elders are guilty of covering up child and baby rapes and take part in destroying families. Elders are the psychotic enfor ers on local levels carrying out orders from the top FAT MAGGOTS IN NEW YOUK
This CULT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.THEY PRACTICE HUMAN SACRIFICE ( NO BLOOD) AND RITUAL CHILD RAPE. AND YOU THINK THEY ARE PEACEFUL THINK AGAIN. AT THE TOP THEY ARE PURE PSYCOPATHS THAT CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF CULTMEMBERS LIVES.THEY DESTROY FAMILIES AND DRIVE EXMEMBERS TO SUICIDE BY THEY SHUNNING PRACTICES. PURE EVIL.
The Angels are pouring plagues on mankind's creation–a creation that is called 'religion'; religions who have taught lies about the Father and his Messiah. That lawless religion is getting EXACTLY what they deserve, and this is just a mere foreshadow/taste of what's coming to them. Their own ways are coming upon their own heads. They have hurt thousands and thousands of childrens and honest-hearted people with their lies and hypocrisy. They are being rewarded according to their own works. They cry to the Father for help, but he will not hear them. Let them eat the fruitage of their own ways.
The Fortress of Al-Ukhaidir is location of the Dawn of Time and Family of Jehovahland and for the Creation of Disfellowship of all Black People against Earth's Extinction.
Putin stopped consider Taliban as extremist because they have the same policy of killing people by making war, producing weapons… which caused millions people so… much sufferings, and many people are dying and starving including women and children!!! but he instead accused JW people as extremist because JW people refuse to kill other people, they always teach people to love, to be honest and helped many hopeless people which made a very peaceful and positive impact on the society.
This is injustice and cruel, he should have done this to the real criminals to make the country safe. I am sure Jehovah will defeat this brutal regime, he is the only almighty god.
Peaceful group. What about this ABC report about JW in Australia and the US https://youtu.be/gDwHdj7plWo
It is the last days, and the bible says Jehovah’s people will be persecuted: all in the name of Jesus the son of the only true God Jehovah..
They are weird, but they are not jihadist.
Jehovah's are at best just annoying. I know more than 30 of them, they are not mean people, just leave them man. Completely unnecessary.
The end is near…
When u truly understand the leadership of this religion, u find out russia did the right thing. Look them up people they have destroyed more lives than u realize.
Ezekiel 7 : 27. According to their way I shall act toward them, with their judgements I shall judge them, and they will have to know that Iam " JEHOVAH "
The Russian Communist Party has a history of crimes against humanity. The Russian Communist Party stands in defiance to Jehovah and his appointed king Jesus Christ..attacking followers of Christ Jehovahs dedicated servants. The Russia Communist Party will not endure their judgement for their sins and crimes. Jehovah will repay them for their wicked works. Vengence is mine I will repay says Jehovah. Romans 12 : 19. We have no need to fight or seek vengence we know Jehovah will bring vengence upon those who defy his sovreignty. The RCP is attacking Jehovah. They know Jehovahs Witnesses are true followers of Jesus Christ preaching the good news of Gods kingdom. They reject Jesus Christ and those who obey.
Because they rules lives BECAUSE THEIR ABUSEING KID THAT'S WHY HOW MANY REPORT HAVE USA/UK/AUSTRALIA . Have done on this CULT BUT O LOOK WHAT RUSSIA IS DOING. ….GIVE ME A BREAK THERE DOING WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE DOING …..
Rather sad. These people just want to follow the Bible. They just share positive news even have non religious conversations. They do not judge as the Lord Jesus is ther Judge and Savior.
Russia doing the world a favor somewhat now if they killed all of the Jehovah's witnesses then they are doing the absolute best thing to help the world
JW denies 1 John 5 : 20
Jesus Christ was God
The Russian authorities are acting just as the German nazi's did towards jehovah's witnesses in ww2.
leave it abc news to paint this group as victims…no officer interviews…no judge interviews…nothing…the jehovahs witnesses promote child abuse…and protect the abusers…they do not report child rape or molestation…they protect pedophiles…they shun and disfellowship anyone as they please and cut them off from their families…they allow members to die whom may need blood transfusions…as it is outside of their beleifs…women arent protected from domestic violence ect….abc used this as a way to demonize Russia….its made to look like innocent people being arrested for being christian….when vladmir putim is a christian….this is more fake news from the media bias machine….you saw them arresting individuals…not breaking up meetings….if you think they are being arrested for nothing….you are as dumb as the news media predicts you to be.
JWs have a scriptural command to obey the secular authorities unless the secular laws conflict with the laws of their god. I dread to think this proviso could justify claims of terrorism. The JWs have a lot wrong with their religion, including cruel shunning practices and child abuse, but they are anything but terrorists.
I don't understand why more of these stories aren't coming to light in the news? I'm gonna say not many know about the recent 2 couples that were arrested and tortured. Anatoly Razdobarov and his wife Greta. Look into it. Something needs to be done for these poor people. It's okay for us to be whatever gender we want to be, but it's not okay to talk about the bible?
Love hearing one side of the story, oh yes the Hilary Clinton fuss around 2014 with the Russians hacking into emails and stuff.. right sure demos control the media. sorry for the brothers persecutions but they got their warnings and their leaders knew it would lead to that (they wanted it), a sob story to show Russia are the bad guys and that witnesses must have the truth cause “look we’re getting persecuted” (domino affect)
Russia jails all Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia filling all prisons with them.
Real criminals and extremists are free to roam the country since there is no more space for them in prison.
Russia falls under further corruption and chaos.
Ingenious indeed lol
Orchestrated by pressure brought by the Russian Orthodox Church

I couldn't care about religon it keeps people's heads in the clouds beliving god will save everyone or bring destruction to humanity. Being here in real life is the best option. If God doesn't kill us, we'll kill ourselves . And Gods salvation is fake, did he make the covid vaccine or did he impose the laws on masks. No he didn't, scientists and the governments did. And that's why I appreciate science more than anything. It keeps us alive and will be keeping us alive more than anything else. Scientists need more credit. Though that is not an excuse to treat our own species that way.
Cowards
The bible said that evil wicked persons wou5be filled with hate and jealousy. Why, because their too weak to be a good person and hate those and are jealous of those stronger than they are because they are weak spiritually and their conscience bothers them around them.
This is a ridiculous thing to do just for believing in something that you don't believe.
I think their in great fear of what's in their imagination.
Jehovah is in the King James Bible stated as gods name ps 83:18
This is awful. I don’t care if it’s any other religion. I don’t care if they’re a religion, sect, or “cult”. This is not a reason to hurt and put them to jail.
It’s a cult and all that do some bad things that normal people just can’t see. But to do this to some normal witnesses is not right. They should be able to do what they want. The normals ones should not be punished for the acts of the ones who really do the bad things.
JW organization causes severe mental health issues in so many children and adults. Their teachings subtly promote extreme congressional control over its members.
They are essentially closed off from outside world and so could be called a Cult.
But harsh authority measures against them is absolutely illegal. They are lost people, controlled by their elders and 8 Shepards,and definitely not criminals. Help them. Persecution is shameful.
This is not merely a belief, but a highly proactive active, profoundly abusive and immoral organisation, which has been proven to create trauma and destroy people’s lives. Russia is right to outlaw it.
The Tower has fallen.
LET THE STATE KNOW THAT THEY ARE PLAYING WITH JEHOVAH GOD EYE BALL .PHAROAH WANTED TO KNOW WHO IS JEHOVAH SO HE SHOULD LET HIS PLEOPLE GO PSALMS 83 ,.18 THE MOST HIGH IT IS ONLY A LITTLE WHILE LONGER PSALMS 37,,1—- 40 please read and understand Carefully
The watchtower is guilty of heinous crimes
Im an ex JW. They are a hate cult that will tell you not to worship jesus. Literally, anti christ. They will make you disown your family and shun your friends to join, and the same will mbe done to you if you make a mistake. the men take it upon themselves to be the voice of god decisions involving your direct life. i used to think the end of the world was going to happen every year since i was a tiny child. I could go on more and more but they are terrible cult.
Russia sucks nuts
They do NOT have similar beliefs to actual Christians. The fact that they identify as Christian is for the sake of deception. They are deceived deceivers. Kind people, but deceived and lost in darkness for sure.
SHAME ON YOU ABC
OMG! What is this report????? They ARE criminals! They hide child abuse, they shun people, they dont allow them to see people out of the cult, they discriminate people, they steal your money, theyre are so many suicide related to them… and you guys are calling them a calm normal organisation?
