  You have clearly forgotten your JW edumacation.

  I was clearly told by a CO that the sole reason World War 2 was fought, was that it was Satan's attempt to destroy JWs.

  So clearly JWs are the end-all and be-all, the primary motivating force behind any major world event of the past 100+ years.
  

  Oh, he also said that Satan was behind the increasing numbers of women in the workforce. "Back in the 50's we'd go door to door, start a study with the wife, and then she'd bring her husband and kids into the truth. So Satan manipulated the world's economies so that more women would have to work, so when we go to their doors, no one is at home."

  That CO is now a drooling old man who sits slumped in a chair at the Kingdom Hall in a nearby congregation, while the talks drone on and on. If his mind still functions, I wonder if he recalls the idiotic things he used to say.

  Dreary Weather Why did Putin give a rats ass worrying about Jehovah's witnesses who were 0.1% of his country's population?

  He didn't and doesn't. What he cares about is encroachment by foreign corporations who will not put Russian interests first, and increase flow of Russian money out of Russia.

  Watchtower is oncesuch foreign, American run corporation. One that dupes poor Russians into sending their hard earned cash to a billion dollar corporation.

  He may be reviewing the treatment of Russian Jehovahs witnesses since caring folk have tipped him the nod that it's the Russian victims of this cult that are suffering, not the cult itself.

  About time.

  Hi Diogenesister:

  What he cares about is encroachment by foreign corporations who will not put Russian interests first?

  Interesting. So to stop the foreign encroachment, he declared his federation's 175,000 Russian citizens as extremist. If he is wary of foreign corporations, why did he allow the transfer of the Russian branch property to Watchtower in US in 2000? and why did Russia keep collecting property tax from that property to the tune of USD 3 million and not know what the property is used for?

  and increase flow of Russian money out of Russia.

  transferring money abroad doesn't constitute a legitimate legal justification, even partial, for unlawful and harsh persecution of JW Russian citizens who voluntarily donated the money. Under which law was this illegal? and if illegal, has Russia sought that money back?

  So Putin believed that WT was duping his citizens. So the solution was to harass and imprison those same poor citizens - who belonged to an organization that Russia itself legally registered in 1992 and re-registered in 1999 under their religious laws.
  

  He may be reviewing the treatment of Russian Jehovahs witnesses since caring folk have tipped him the nod that it's the Russian victims of this cult that are suffering, not the cult itself.

  What is that supposed to mean? When the supreme court declared the JW's organisation as extremist, who were declared as extremists? - it was not the Watchtower society of Pennsylvania. It was the Russian JW's. How do you ban a cult and no expect its members to suffer? The treatment that individual JW's are getting was sanctioned by the Supreme court.

  Why would Satan give a rats ass about jehovahs witnesses?

  Because it's an important part of the mythic narrative.
