"extremism" -- What specifically did Russia ban Jehovah's Witnesses for?

by Pallbearer in

russia's reason for banning jehovah's witnesses is said to be due to extremism.

but what exactly does that mean, or refer to?

specifically, what practice (or practices) of jehovah's witnesses does russia consider to be extreme?

Because for them the Borg is like a pawn. They think JW is an "american religion"

They want to poke Uncle Sam.

Tsunamis and Volcanos: why?

by StephaneLaliberte in

volcano eruptions and tsunamis kill at large scale and very often, without warning.

how do believers explain these away?

jehovah's witnesses say that humans die and suffer due to the original sin, but what do volcano's and tsunamis have to do with it?

Part of earth's story, geology, the movement of the tectonic plates recycle the crust renovating it. Tsunamis, a collateral damage. It's just like in developing countries, people build into nearly the creeks and when a really bad rain comes, they are like: "why is this happening to us?".

Guess we need to be careful, nature could ve hostile sometimes....

This sounds like they are running and circling the wagons....maybe they are thinking about closing the Ark's door that the Borg and R&F cherish so much.

Too much stressed about COVID-19, it seems.

Height of mountains before and after the flood .

by smiddy3 in

it was stated many years ago in answer to how did the flood cover the top of all the mountains on earth in noah`s day.?.

mount everest ?.

and it was explained away by saying that the mountains before the flood were a lot smaller / lower than the mountains that exist today.. so there was no problem .. when the deluge began with so much volume of water now covering the earth ( water being heavy ) pushed down into the weakest parts of the earth and raised up in other parts of the earth to where we now have higher mountains than existed before the flood of noah`s day.. in other words mount everest didn`t exist at its present height before the flood and neither did any other high mountain that exists today ,the topography all changed with the noachian flood.

Yeah....imagine feeding all the animals of the world for the 40 days of the deluge and 150 days until the water receded....including those carnivore animals that have an ' special diet '......of meat.

It says that eveything went into the Ark...so we could assume that the insects where there too....just about 900 thousand different species.

And after that, everything went all right...imagine two poor kangoros swimming to Australia...or two alpacas traveling to South America.

i don’t think so.

the election results will probably be decided by the supreme court..

The honest thing to do should be going to those states where the difference is thin, and recount the ballots, with observers from both parties. Better that that endless litigation.

Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?

by minimus in

jw
friends

they have predicted this for years.

religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.

the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..

Well, persecution could take many ways. The Catholic Church for example have paid like one billion dollars to victims of sexual abuse. The Borg millions. The point is when the money ends with lawyers or when the compensation is so big that could easliy get any religion broke. Or the case of the orthodox Jews confronting police because of the coronavirus rules.
