(menu at top where you can go from page 1,2,3 etc)
they include many countries individually. i think these reports were presented to congress on the 15th, the reports were posted on the above site today.
jw's are mentioned in several.
I just skimmed through a few reports, and the jws seem to be ok to preach, even in countries like Cuba, a Communist country, in ,ost of the reports they are mentioned in. I looked at a couple of Muslim countries though, and they weren't mentioned specifically.
they're mentioned in Greece .. they sure hate to pay taxes!
Although Jehovah's Witnesses are recognized as a "known" religion, members continued to face some harassment and administrative problems during the period covered by this report. This usually took the form of arbitrary identity checks (although this problem has abated) and local officials' resistance to construction of places of worship. A decision on an appeal by the Jehovah's Witnesses regarding a property dispute over taxation rates involving their officially recognized headquarters was scheduled to be heard at the Supreme Administrative Court in September 2006.
I didn't look at Greece, but I bet they are hoping to win that one!
As you say, they hate paying taxes if they can avoid it. I hope they lose and have to stump up the cash!
