SPECIAL REPORT RUSSIA’S ATTACK on RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
The Ministry of Justice issued a directive to suspend immediately the activity of the national Administrative Center and all 395 legal entities, or Local Religious Organizations (LROs), of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The directive effectively bans the religious activity of Jehovah’s Witnesses until the Supreme Court makes the final determination.
The Ministry of Justice filed a claim with the Supreme Court, demanding that the Administrative Center and all LROs be liquidated and deleted from the official State registry and that all property owned by the Administrative Center and all LROs, which includes all Kingdom Halls (houses of worship), be confiscated by the State.
CRIMINALIZE 1 RELIGIOUS LITERATURE
The Federal Law on Counteracting Extremist Activity is used as the basis for charges of extremism against Jehovah’s Witnesses. As amended in 2006, the law does not require calls to violent acts, only the vague concept of “incitement of . . . religious discord.”
Law on extremism misapplied to Jehovah’s Witnesses
In 2008, the Rostov Regional Prosecutor’s Office commissioned an expert study of the Witnesses’ religious literature. The study concluded that Jehovah’s Witnesses do not urge hostile action either in their literature or in carrying out their activities.
However, the Rostov Regional Court focused on the experts’ opinion that theological discussion in the Witnesses’ literature had “the potential to undermine respect” for other religions.
The court concluded that this “undermining [of] respect” was “aimed at inciting religious discord” and considered it evidence of “extremism.”
On 11 September 2009, the Rostov Regional Court ruled to declare 34 Witness publications “extremist,” and these were eventually placed on the Federal
List of Extremist Materials . The court also declared the Taganrog LRO “extremist” and ordered federal authorities to liquidate it, ban its activity, place its name on a list of extremist organizations, confiscate its religious literature and its property.
By the start of 2016, similar court actions had declared 88 religious publications “extremist,” liquidated three LROs, and confiscated at least one house of worship.
 
 
 

(some other "notes" I can add from the cd wt library) ....
2010
*** w10 5/1 p. 6 What Is God Doing? ***
We know this because the sign that Jesus foretold regarding “the conclusion of the system of things” is now being fulfilled.
2000
*** w00 10/15 p. 11 par. 7 God’s Kingdom—Earth’s New Rulership ***
That is why, as part of the sign that we now live in “the last days” of this wicked system, Jesus foretold: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5; Matthew 24:14) That prophecy is being fulfilled now, as about six million Jehovah’s Witnesses in 234 lands devote more than a billion hours a year telling others about God’s Kingdom. 
1997
*** w97 3/1 p. 11 par. 9 Are You Ready for Jehovah’s Day? ***
The foretold Kingdom-preaching work and other features of the sign of Jesus’ presence are being fulfilled right now. 
 
our understanding will be different (/better), as soon as we see the prophecy fulfilled, and we will understand more details when things will happen, (as we all, we will compare it then, with the knowledge & understanding we have now) ...
[greetings to all]

I have no interest in celebrating Easter, and it's obvious that the rabbit and egg fertility symbols are completely out of place. I'm glad that the Watchtower points these things out. But there does come a point when, just because we don't like something, we tend to believe anything bad about it. In fact, one of the source sites for this information is here: https://warriorsoftheruwach.com/easter/
That site has all the info that Bible Speaks includes, and then some:
Here is my favorite:
