Jehovah must hate the Russian witnesses. He only backs Americans

    Obviously, I don't believe that there's a god that backs one race over another. I do find it interesting, however, that the BORG always takes credit for their wins in the Supreme Court, and that they find it so obvious that they have Jehovah's backing in all they do. So if this reasoning is to float, then wouldn't it clearly mean that Jehovah hates Russian Jehovah's Witnesses. I say this because of this article I just read:

    Russian court declares Jehovah's Witness brochures extremist

    by RIA Novosti at 13/01/2014 19:14

    A Russian court has declared brochures produced by the Jehovah’s Witnesses to be extremist, the Prosecutor General’s Office said Monday.

    The court in the southern city of Kurgan ruled that four pamphlets published by the Christian evangelical sect were discriminatory against people who did not belong to the organization.

    The booklets were titled “How to Achieve Happiness in Life,” “What Can People Hope For?” “How to Develop a Close Relationship With God,” and “What You Need to Know About God and His Meaning.”

    The prosecutor’s office said that analyses by linguistic experts had concluded that the brochures contained propaganda that promoted the superiority of the Jehovah’s Witnesses and denigrated other faiths as false.

    Jehovah’s Witnesses claims more than 7 million followers worldwide, including more than 130,000 in Russia. The religious group frequently faces pressure from Russian authorities for its beliefs and has been banned in a number of regions, as well as in some former Soviet republics.

    A Moscow court ordered the dissolution of the local branch of the Jehovah’s Witnesses in 2004 and banned its activities amid allegations that the community was brainwashing children and breaking up families through its teachings.

    The European Court of Human Rights ruled that the decision was unlawful in 2010 and ordered Russia to pay 70,000 euro ($95,000) in damages.

    Russian courts declared numerous publications by Jehovah’s Witnesses to be extremist in 2009.

    For some reason this put a smile on my face when I read it.

    Again the Russians are after the witnesses! Well they're damn right, the literature does denigrate non jw beliefs and by extension their believers. The Russians have a fabulous literary tradition and where we revere sports and movie stars they revere poets. Crappy jw literature must be insulting to many of them.
