Maybe the bible was right. Russia is the king of the north, at least against the borg they are!

In regards to the human rights aspect of it, I think they should be able to freely study their beliefs with those who already share that belief. On the flip side of the coin though, they should not have the right to insistantly shove their beliefs down someone elses throat, as I feel this infringes on other's human rights. This does cause a sticky dilemma though, as a large part of their beliefs are "Sharing the good news of the
KlingonKingdom" with others. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.....I hope that the Kremlin is aware of all of the scandals that the Witlesses are involved in, as that info. may prove to be invaluable in the case against them.

I agree, a person should be free to not be proselytized against, but messing with religious freedoms is a slippery slope. The Russian Orthodox church would love to also turn its attention, I am sure, to Baptists, Buddhists, and other groups that have started to have increased membership in their areas.
Heh,, just send the JW's down to Chechnya. Promise to fund their disciplemaking work down in Grozny. It's a win-win situation for the Russkies. The JW's are duty bound to take the bait. They'll either get beheaded by Chechen rebles, or convert them all into JoHos, forcing them to become a nation of peaceable floor cleaners.
