the way that the wt conducts business in russia, hiding ownership of property and moving money overseas, was a large factor in the jws falling afoul of the russian authorities.
it wasn't just 'extremist' views that came into play, it was also their handling of money that was illegal.. this article is from a russian news source - i had to use google translate to read it, so i have copied and pasted the whole article (i usually don't...apologies to the author of the article).

The brother assigned by the User of property should be prepared, if necessary, bravely to defend the legitimate interests of the congregation, and not be afraid of meeting with government officials (police, prosecutors, regulatory authorities).

good morning, all.. it is good to be here.. thanks to all for your contributions.. love and blessings.

Well, it's good afternoon, now......Sylvia
when growing up in a "proper" j.ws household:-.
a) our moral opinions are conditioned by this environment and upbringing.. b) to hold to jws belief and moral opinions gives our life purpose.. c) what we believe we hold it to be true.. d) in terms of approval it can be difficult for the mind to accept logical evidence if our life is based on "truth" and " moral opinions" that conflict with our conscience.. anyway i am not sure where i am going with this o.p?.
i guess my point is that settling factual and logical disputes with jws has proven more challenging than i realized.

JW`s are obsessed with and take comfort in, being right..
Truth is not a high priority for them..
how many in your age group are still jehovahs witnesses?
from where we are at, there aren't many left.
each year it gets smaller and smaller haha .
I saw a bunch of JW`s at a family funeral..
They looked old and worn out, no spark of life left in their eyes..
They were dressed nice though, we could have buried them too..
please show them this.... easter 2017, christians ‘most persecuted group in the world’.
during the last calendar year, some 90,000 christians were killed for their faith across the globe, making christians by far the most persecuted group in the world, according to a study from the turin-based center for studies on new religions (cesnur).. while tens of thousands of christians are killed for their faith, introvigne said, they are just the tip of the iceberg and much persecution takes place on a daily basis that never makes news.. http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/04/16/easter-2017-christians-most-persecuted-group-in-the-world/.
dear jw's, it's all about being a christian that is important, not being a jw!!.
Next time you hear a JW say, "we're the most persecuted religion on earth.
TELL THEM..
good morning, all.. it is good to be here.. thanks to all for your contributions.. love and blessings.

I'm having a great morning, reading up on the Nebuchadnezzars, of which there were four.
Isn't it wonderful to scope these things out for ourselves?.....Sylvia

jehovah witnesses unaware they are fulling bible prophecies.
for many of us witnesses that have left either as stricken lost sheep or unlawfully disfellowshiped please consider that our brothers & sisters in the synagogues of kingdom halls are misled & need our help in trying to pull them out of the fire.
the test now on them is about just how they are treating their unlawfully excluded (disfellowshiped) brothers & sisters, as foretold at isaiah 66. at present they sit in judgement on us the growing great crowd who have come out & they are prepared with hard- heartedness to condemn their brothers & sisters to a final everlasting death, by running away as spiritual cowards refusing us a cup of life giving water (truth) matt 10: to explain the apostasy in their temple the disgusting thing in the holy place.
Religion is a touchstone for mental illness and illiteracy.
If all caps titles and lack of punctuation doesn't convince anyone,

Be grateful he knows what a period is used for......LOL!!
