lastmanstanding,
As far as the video, I would like someone to offer proof that that vide was shot by the Russian authorities and that those are actually officers behind those balaclavas. For all we know, that video was concocted by Watchtower, and the Russian site put it up there to show how far Watchtower will go in production of false information about the Russian State.
Oh dear, this bullshit is brilliant. You "know" that Watchtower created this video just to use a single screenshot. Despite it was first distributed by the Tomsk regional department of the Ministry of Interior (УМВД по Томской области). And despite neither the video nor the picture depict something extraordinary, extremely outrageous or very different from what depicted on other photos and videos distributed by the FSB, the Ministry of Interior and the Investigative Committee (examples: 1, 2, 3). And despite you were unable to provide a single plausible argument why it is fake (stupid questions about a garden pick and blurred faces aren't arguments).
I for one refuse to just go along with the flow.
Just like Fritz Springmeier, Rick Fearon and Alex Jones.
blondie, stillin, DD, JW_Rogue,
Are you kidding? Do you want to say you really don't understand the difference between pictures, videos etc. clearly provided for illustrative purposes, and those presented as depicting real events and attributed to a government source?
Vidiot,
"Extremism" is nothing more than a meaningless pejorative label. And your second statement wrongly describes the situation.

....She said top church officials purported to enforce church rules "but in real fact the talk is about total control of an individual’s personal life — his intimate life, education and work."
This was a show testimony, not mentioned in the Supreme Kangaroo Court decisions at all.
the organization’s religious literature forbids blood transfusion for its members in defiance of the doctors’ recommendation," the spokeswoman said, providing documentary evidence about one such case.
Again, not mentioned in the decisions.
its claim to exclusivity
Have you read all those "expert opinions" and court decisions? They interpreted every call to leave one's religion and to join the JW organization, every instance of criticism of or disrespect towards other religions as "hate speech". For example, two years ago the "experts" declared the following quote to be "extremist": "Arthur regularly witnessed to customers in a store that he owned, where he displayed Bible literature prominently in the window. The window also displayed a sign that offered 100 pounds to anyone who could prove the Trinity — an unscriptural doctrine that Arthur firmly rejected. No one ever collected the money".
