     Having once "studied" with JWs 30 years ago, when I had no concrete beliefs, I know for a fact that they are LOVING this ban.  They actually pride themselves on being "persecuted".  They interpret persecution as anyone who criticizes them so this ban will be a boon.
     And to the poster who remarked that JWs are not Christians; how true.  They do not believe in a triune God, a soul, heaven, hell, the crucifixion or various other marks of Christianity.
     ALSO, they DO hate Catholics but you don't know that until you become involved with them; kinda like how the mormons keep a lot of what they are about from the un-indoctrinated.

The head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church has recalled the 70th anniversary of Operation Vistula, in which the Communist governments of Poland and the Soviet Union forcibly deported over 140,000 Ukrainians from their homes in Poland.
“Seventy years ago, a mortal danger loomed over our Church in postwar Poland,” said Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk. “The anniversary of the criminal deportation must serve us the opportunity to heal the memory, so that knowing the truth, through the power and acts of God’s Spirit, we become freer and stronger.”

Russia’s Supreme Court has upheld an earlier court decision banning the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
The court accepted the Putin administration’s argument that the group’s literature incites hatred.
The group, founded in 1870 by Charles Taze Russell, has 395 congregations in Russia, which the court ordered to be disbanded. The United States and EU condemned the Russian court decision.

Jehovah Witnessses are NOT Christians and have a distorted and lesser view of our Savior. The Watchtower has been involved in illegal activities for years and are used as a political tenticle of the CIA- Putin isn't stupid. Barring that, error has no rights. I think that's Catholic.

Before the takeover by the Vatican II church, in the real Catholic countries, Catholicism was the legal constitutional state religion amd none others were permitted to proselytize in public or to have signs in their assembly places. That was religious freedom, tolerance for error, but it had its limits, and the limits are as I stated.

Russia is not a Catholic country and really never has been. The Jehovas Witnesses are 1) a false religion, 2) they proselytize. If Russia wanted to ban all religions except the regional traditional religions of Russian Orthodox, Catholic, Mohamedans, I have no problem with it. I doubt that Russia is any different than France, where only at max 4% of the population go to mass. Russia is as "religious" as France. Pretty much zilch.
