Victims of "political repression"

by biblexaminer in

political repression is the persecution of an individual or group within society for political reasons, particularly for the purpose of restricting or preventing their ability to take part in the political life of a society thereby reducing their standing among their fellow citizens.[1][2].

so, the governing bastards feel that putin is trying to keep jehovah's witnesses out of politics.

interesting.... all the russians had to do is to ask watchtower one question.

The whole problem is GOVERNING BODY HUBRIS.

They pushed to be legal in Russia and then they marched into Russia and stuck the Watchtower flag in the ground and claimed victory.

Then they bought up real estate. Put down roots. Pushed out their collective chests and boldly went where no fanatic has gone before.

They never stopped to think, because they have no humility.

And now, all they give a damn about is the real estate.

If Russia would say, hey GB we will give you your investment back, then the GB would grab the loot, get up, walk out and never come back... happily.

There is represssion going on all over the world. The Mafias of the world repress all the time. It's how they assert their power for financial gain. But it's not political...

For repression to be "political", it must involve politics. Try as you like, you will not remove the word "politics " from the word "political".

It is clear from a study of the information, which by the way is taken from articles on "political science", that "political repression" is a particular form or repression. It must involve two diametrically opposed "political " ideologies.

The Watchtower boys failed to demonstrate that the Russian State is persecuting JW because of their opposing political stance.

Hence, it's repressive, but NOT "political".

And when a cop is beating you over the head with his baton because you were driving like an idiot, it's repressive I'm sure, but it's legal.

Dreary. You seem to work very hard at making others look stupid and yourself smart.

Also, you left stuff out.

The basis for the term "political repression " cannot be reduced to mere "repression" of any sort and then applied willy nilly.

I can't go fight a speeding ticket with the defense that the act of fining me was "political repression".

Repression is the act of subduing someone by institutional or physical force. Political violence is a particular form of repression involving the use of physical force to achieve political goals.

You conveniently left material out in an effort to twist "political repression " to suit your argument. This is exactly what the WT boys tried, and failed, to do in Russia.

Your quote comes from an article on "Political Science".

As hard as you try to eliminate the "politics" from the sentence, the more prominent the word becomes.

I find it amusing that the Watchtower was working to be designated as "victims of political repression".

One cannot be "politically neutral" and be politically repressed.

So, the governing bastards feel that Putin is trying to keep Jehovah's Witnesses out of politics. Interesting...

All the Russians had to do is to ask Watchtower one question. "Do you feel that you have been politically marginalized, that Russia is trying to prevent your participation in Russian politics?"

I'd like to have seen the looks on their faces. What could they say? "No, we are politically neutral?" Ha. Then the court would say "then you cannot be a victim of political repression!"

And if WT boys answer "Yes" then they are not politically neutral.

Alway the hypocrisy...

What evidence could Watchtower boys present to the court to show that the Russian State is trying to prevent Jehovah's Witnesses entry into Russian politics?

Apologists saying that the JWs shouldn't be banned, what the hell!??

by Crazyguy in

it's been brought to my attention that there are xjw that say they support the witnesses and don't think russia should ban them.

i would just like to remind all of you that jws are guilty of murder, causing higher rates of suicide, covering up child molestation, and keeping members in prisoned because if they leave they loose family, financial support, possible employment etc.. sure their not strapping bombs to their chests but they easily get members to kill themselves with their blood policies.

they are an extremist group!

biblexaminer

Dreary. You say Watchtower will not change its way because of a ban. You are not correct.

Just the threat of such things made them join/associate with the UN.

In this particular court case, they are seeking to be declared a "victim of political repression".

Wowser!! You cannot be "politically neutral" AND suffer "political repression" at the same time.

You must first be viewed as having a "political position" or "party" before you can be designated as suffering "political repression".

No changes huh?
