1964 BOOK ON RUSSIA JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES A JOKE

[bruceq]

 Here is a book about Christians in Russia during the Cold War era [printed 1964]. Called "The Faith of the Russian Evangelicals" by Pollock. There are several areas that talk about "Jehovah's Witnesses" in Russia. Here is one quote :"Jehovah's Witnesses have spread like wildfire in Russia...have not endeared them to the historic Churches throughout the world, enrage the Soviet authorities. Jehovah's Witnesses are opposed to all governments, most of whom treat them as somewhat a joke. The Soviet Government treat them as a deadly serious threat..." [page 150].

   Interestingly although the Soviet Union was dissolved over 25 years ago, today the Russian Federation Government still considers them a "Deadly serious threat" since they have branded them "extremist" and have even banned their website noted below. The only country so far to have done so!

 

   UPDATE : On April, 5 2017 the Supreme Court in Russia may BAN Jehovah's Witnesses. Out of over 2,000 religions in Russia WHY are they picking only on this small religion of peaceful people and proclaim they are the same as terrorists by banning them?  {FROM EBAY LISA.JOEYWIT}
