So tell me which of those things they deemed extremism are invalid in those kangaroo courts that you describe?

Do you not agree that courts in Russia are 'kangaroo'? Really?

Regarding your links - I'm glad you can use google, but you're twisting with the facts. I don't have time to flood the post with google links, but I've been following development of JWs treatment in Russia since 2000's, and I remember the ridiculous 'expert' decisions on borg's literature to call'em 'extremist'. Based on those ridiculous decisions, they went ahead, and first called local congos 'extremist', then proceeded to calling branch an 'extremist' org, finally (at the moment) they called all JWs extremists and started persecuting them practically as terrorists. The rest of the accusations you name were mostly for discussion in media, and not for enforcing the current ban.

Russia did target the wrong behavior. The shunning, the extreme practices and teachings. Since borged refused to remove the bad things, they were banned.

Are you joking? Or just making things up on the fly?

In what universe Russia targeted Jdubs wrong behavior? Have you ever looked at what their kangaroo FSB 'courts' called extremism?

And now, after the ban, they treat Jdubs almost as terrorists (words game - 'extremism'/'terrorism') - which is far from the truth, despite all vile teachings and practices borg indeed has. At the same time, Russian government sponsors, gives weapons and organizes real terrorists throughout the world.

It's such a joke to listen lectures on morals and anti-extremism from Russian government and its media. Not much better than taking lectures from ISIS about human rights.

@DATA-DOG, I'm not sure what info you've got about Russia (it depends on the info sources you use), but, it is indeed worse than most people on this planet even imagine.

As an example of what they think about religion - you may want to have a look at the fresh video from one Russian propaganda youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3f3PqvP5qg , where Russian proxies on the occupied Ukrainian territory persecute even baptists (I'm not an expert on the Baptist church, but anyway), while at the same time supporting Russian Orthodox church (founded and controlled by Russian intelligence) famous for its usage in direct war propaganda, direct support/providing of Russian/pro-Russian terrorists in Eastern Ukraine, etc.

It's a criminal-totalitarian state, and I'd be very careful before supporting any of their action (given their constant lies).

Are you Enjoying the World Cup?

great to see such an eager young team.

harry kane is incredible.

cofty - surely, you have every right to ignore my view of this world cup's location, as well as thousands war casualties and several millions lives ruined in some strange distant country (a country that had voluntarily abandoned its huge nuclear arsenal in exchange for 'superpowers' guaranties of security - so stupid of it, isn't it?), and just about three hundred civilian Europeans/Aussies/Malaysians killed by Russia's government (who really cares - ah?).

But I guess I also have the right not to be excited about this 'sports' event - especially given the title of this thread (quite a provocative one, as to me).

Enjoy yourselves!

Today, Russian occupants scored 3 more Ukrainian soldiers defending their motherland, (plus to thousands of civilians and soldiers killed in previous 4 years):

Newsweek: JW wives in Russia send letter to Putin advisor

by OrphanCrow in

jw
friends

this article is dated june 7, 2018 and is likely a lead up to the bear ripping the jw bible article.

http://www.newsweek.com/wives-jehovahs-witnesses-jailed-russia-send-letter-putin-adviser-begging-end-965516.

the wives of jehovah’s witnesses rounded up and imprisoned in russia have written an open letter to a top adviser of president vladimir putin, asking him to stop the campaign of terror against the religious group.“this open letter to you is a cry of desperation.

stillMS

then they would be left alone.

No way they would be left alone. The reasons for oppressing JWs in Russia are far from pursuing justice or protecting Russian people from a harm the Borg can bring. It's all about creating a terror atmosphere to control/oppress people and not to let them think about $$$$$$$ stolen from them by the authorities.
