There's enough factual information wrong about that article that any JWs reading it would immediately declare it as inspired by Satan, therefore 'fake news'.
But some of the information is factual, and quite damning. And that's why they're now banned.
I don't like banning any religion. It's wrong based on human rights. But one has to admit that the WTS didn't help itself with their blood doctrine, shunning, and badly handled child abuse cases.
And I hate how it's going to give JWs in 'free' lands more persecution complexes, and scare fringe members back to the fold.

I agree undercover, that jws will see this as a sign the end is close, and a few jws will return....but jws have been banned in several countries, without that result, I think that it is Russia (once part of the Soviet Union named the King of the North by the WTS) that is doing the banning. -

"defy government institutions and civic duties, refuse to serve in the army and do not permit blood transfusions. Each adherent is expected to unconditionally obey the will and aims of the organization. Nobody is allowed to leave it of one’s own accord. The movement expects its members to be hostile against all those who do not recognize its teaching. For this reason Jehovah’s Witnesses are often accused of inciting religious enmity".

True enough.
Most was accurate.

LOL!
American JWs are pretty much the prime reason that Smirnoff continues to export to the USA.
You want to see a "mass exodus" of JWs? Don't ban them, get the GB to outlaw alcohol consumption.

There was Prohibition in the US, but Rutherford said it was a Satanic plot and wrote a brochure on it.
