Persecution of Jehovah Witnesses in Russia? Where is outrage of western presstitutes?

Where are high praised 'christian values' by Putin. Even if he goes sometimes to a church he can not be a true follower of Jesus.

Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, 11 May 2018


Forty-four-year-old Roman Markin and sixty-one-year-old Viktor Trofimov, residents of the city of Polyarny (Murmansk oblast), were sent to the SIZO [pre-trial detention cell] for two months on suspicion of "conducting the activity of an extremist organization" (part 1 of article 282.2 of the Criminal Code of RF). They were held incommunicado after searches that were conducted on 18 April 2018 in that city in seven apartments belonging to citizens who were thought to be Jehovah's Witnesses.

The searches were conducted practically simultaneously, with the participation of armed OMON personnel who acted extremely rudely. Roman Markin was at home in the evening with his 16-year-old daughter. At 19:40 the door to their apartment was broken down by special forces. Threatening with weapons, they forced them to lie on the floor and searched them. Markin's daughter was taken away and interrogated until 3:00 a.m. In another place, an elderly man opened the door to a group of armed special forces and they shoved him with such force that he fell. By their actions the law enforcement agents injured another two women who were visiting. Teenagers, a brother and sister, were pinned to the wall and ordered to keep their arms extended. In all, 17 citizens were searched, all electronics were seized, and they were taken for questioning, which lasted until 7:00 a.m.

A criminal case was opened on 12 April 2018 by the Investigation Department for the closed region of Alexandrovsk (that includes the city of Polyarny and Snezhnogorsk) of the Investigation Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia for Murmansk oblast. Believers were interrogated by several investigators, including Ivan Misa. The case was a direct consequence of the decision of the Russian Supreme Court for the liquidation and ban of activity of all 396 registered organizations of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia. Law enforcement agents often mistake citizens' sharing a religious belief for participation in an extremist organization.
It is noteworthy that earlier, on 23 October 2016, brochures that are on the Federal List of Extremist Materials were planted in a worship service of Jehovah's Witnesses in the city of Snezhnogorsk. At that time, personnel of law enforcement agencies drove up to the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and, citing "reports received," declared that there may be weapons in the building. As expected, weapons were not found, although the forbidden brochures were demonstratively "discovered." The epidemic of such falsifications also led to the decision of the Russian Supreme Court, which became the reason for the arrest of believers.Roman Nikolaevich Markin (born 1974) and Viktor Fedorovich Trofimov (born 1957) are in SIZO No. 1 of the Federal Penitentiary Service for Murmansk oblast.

Jehvees oppress their flock (every natural impulse is a sin) and are naturally selfish traitors who refuse to defend their country, which Putin is doing in banishing these creepy fanatics. Putin knows that historically, a common belief in an established church, such as the Russian denomination of Greek Orthodox Christianity, can strengthen a country and put his people all on the same page in their attempt to make Russian great again.

The right has nothing to gain from attacking Russia so they don't care

Only completely insane regime can persecute Christians for Reading the Holy Bible
Only idiots can define it as an Extremist Book.
Sorry guys, but Putin's Regime is going crazy.

For keeping this Book insane Putin throws believes to prison

This is no different that the UN passing a zillion resolutions against Israel for doing such things as building walls or boarding ships, but then south of the border almost but completely ignore a vast genocide of Christians in the Sudan.

The same happened in Syria as Christians were targeted via genocide, yet nothing was done.

The hypocrisy of world governments is staggering. Maybe JW's are right in that all world governments are essentially evil.

Indeed JW are right!

After studying the life of Constantine, I think I got a better idea of how Christendom was hijacked by the state.

Constantine was only interested in one thing, power. He looked around and wished to be emperor, but needed help. He then saw how this fledgling religion of Christians was flourishing despite the severe persecution, being thrown to the lions and such, so he adopted it as his own.

During his life, he still continued to worship the pagan gods and by all accounts was not a Christian himself. No, he just grabbed a shield, drew a cross on It, and off he went to kill and plunder.

However, it is rumored he converted on his death bed.

No matter, he had set loose a state run system that persecuted Jews that led to the Holocaust and triggered the Crusades, something Christians are still known for today..

Both church and state must be separated. Period

 

[Baron]

The current Pope is the reason the state does not completely eradicate the Christian religion.

His church as the doctrine that abortion is mass genocide but says nothing about it, much like the church was silent during the Holocaust.

No, instead he gives sermons on the evils of building walls.

Then you have Obama and his Black Liberation theology group of religious Left wingers. They think that the state should be empowered to do the Lord's work, which is to help the poor folk.

Only these subverted religious groups serve any purpose for the state.

Most of modern 'churches' are apostatical whores from Revelation Book!

You should read the book of Enoch. The early church used it often with a myriad of references to Christ, even though it was written before the life of Christ.

Interestingly, in the book Enoch has a continuous theme, many, if not all, the world leaders and kingdoms are corrupt and will face the lake of fire.

My guess is that this is why it was left out of Constantine's Bible, even though the book of Jude references it.

I reckon one got passed the goalie for letting Jude in the Bible.

All 'churches' who sleeps with state are no christian churches anymore

I read a description of what one of their victims went through, a horrible childhood where even smiling was a sin. Such nasty puritanical fanatics deserve whatever oppression is thrown at them.

Pacifism is nothing to be proud of. It is pure cowardice and a selfish hatred of society. We should be protected from such deserters. With that in mind, we should get rid of "Conscientious" Objector status. Americans are totally brainwashed about self-serving idealistic fantasies.

Russia is savaged by 1% of non-Russian and non-Christian oligarchs.What does so -called Russian 'Church'. Nothing. It blesses thieves, mafia, robbers, bribe-lovers, KGB while ordinary Russians receive $2k annually.
Russian 'Church' becomes gradually an institution like former Communist Party - a bunch of corrupted oligarchs and money-lovers.

Just for comparison:

The Orthodox Metropolitan of Belgium,
Exarch of the Netherlands and Luxembourg Afinagor (Pekstadt) goes to work

Patriarch of Serbia Pavel

Russian Patriarch. Limousine costs $1m

Jesus enters Jerusalem

Russian Patriarch drives in Moscow. The streets are dispersed and empty

I dont think that they were afraid of it. I think that it was their ideology in the first turn.

 

[Litwin]

I don't know how they act in your country but in Russia they make followers to spend much money, to sell appartment and to donate money to those sects.
Many families crashed, many people became homeless...

It is a lie spreading by haters of Christians, in the West JW are on any corner and street, nothing dangerous for nobody.
No one priest ( elder ) of JW receives any cent for the work, all donations are completely freely.
In difference to KGB Orthodox 'Church' which demands money for not necessary services instead of studying the Holy Bible.

You can not read about a criminal JW ever, they have not drinkers, drug addicted, smokers, they families are sound and healthy.
Is it wrong.

Sorry, but your beloved Putin is a big moron for prohibition of a Christian Church which refuses to serve KGB and Money like 95% of Russian 'Priests' do.

JW's are targeted because they preach a true separation of church and state.

They are to have no participation whatsoever with the state, whether it be voting or otherwise.

The only use the state has for religion is to subvert it's followers, so they have zero value.

Well that's not true, the Nazi regime used them as barbers because they were confident that they would not slit their throats due to their pacifist ideology, and then killed them when done with them.

The True Christians must follow the Holy Bible and not the State.
And not Putin!

It shall be a free choice:

Either Jesus or Putin

Forty-four-year-old Roman Markin and sixty-one-year-old Viktor Trofimov, residents of the city of Polyarny (Murmansk oblast), were sent to the SIZO [pre-trial detention cell] for two months on suspicion of "conducting the activity of an extremist organization" (part 1 of article 282.2 of the Criminal Code of RF). They were held incommunicado after searches that were conducted on 18 April 2018 in that city in seven apartments belonging to citizens who were thought to be Jehovah's Witnesses.

The searches were conducted practically simultaneously, with the participation of armed OMON personnel who acted extremely rudely. Roman Markin was at home in the evening with his 16-year-old daughter. At 19:40 the door to their apartment was broken down by special forces. Threatening with weapons, they forced them to lie on the floor and searched them. Markin's daughter was taken away and interrogated until 3:00 a.m. In another place, an elderly man opened the door to a group of armed special forces and they shoved him with such force that he fell. By their actions the law enforcement agents injured another two women who were visiting. Teenagers, a brother and sister, were pinned to the wall and ordered to keep their arms extended. In all, 17 citizens were searched, all electronics were seized, and they were taken for questioning, which lasted until 7:00 a.m.

A criminal case was opened on 12 April 2018 by the Investigation Department for the closed region of Alexandrovsk (that includes the city of Polyarny and Snezhnogorsk) of the Investigation Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia for Murmansk oblast. Believers were interrogated by several investigators, including Ivan Misa. The case was a direct consequence of the decision of the Russian Supreme Court for the liquidation and ban of activity of all 396 registered organizations of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia. Law enforcement agents often mistake citizens' sharing a religious belief for participation in an extremist organization.
It is noteworthy that earlier, on 23 October 2016, brochures that are on the Federal List of Extremist Materials were planted in a worship service of Jehovah's Witnesses in the city of Snezhnogorsk. At that time, personnel of law enforcement agencies drove up to the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and, citing "reports received," declared that there may be weapons in the building. As expected, weapons were not found, although the forbidden brochures were demonstratively "discovered." The epidemic of such falsifications also led to the decision of the Russian Supreme Court, which became the reason for the arrest of believers.Roman Nikolaevich Markin (born 1974) and Viktor Fedorovich Trofimov (born 1957) are in SIZO No. 1 of the Federal Penitentiary Service for Murmansk oblast.

Anything that can prevent Jehovah's Witnesses from showing up on someone's doorstep, is a good thing.
