Speech representative Respondent Toporov. "The extremism of Jehovah's Witnesses remains extremism on paper."
My reply (tongue-in-cheek): I agree. The extremism of Jehovah's Witnesses remains extremism on paper, especially on the paper in The Watchtower magazine.

Lawyer Zhenkov documents that the printed materials were never imported into the country after they were recognized as extremist.
That's correct. The banned extremist material was actually seized by customs before it was technically imported. The JWs ran numerous articles on this criticizing the Ministry of Justice for seizing the material.
EDIT: I just went to the JWs official news release on this subject to provide a link only to find the entire article has been deleted. [UPDATE two of my posts down as I was incorrect. Sorry JWs.]

Dreary: I'm getting confused. Yesterday, while arguing about medical treatment, why didn't the justice ministry present all the cases of deaths caused due to blood transfusion refusals? or is it that they don't have such data?
Laws in Russia were only introduced in 2016 that make it a criminal offence to encourage others to not undertake lawful medical treatment. There have been no cases since the law was introduced which is why the JWs focused on 'no cases'.
Just for the record: I do not believe 'banning' JWs are the answer to anything. In fact I support freedom of religion even if Jehovah God himself does not.

built in 1966, renovated 4 times since last in 2011, they then built a new one for eur 8m and sold this one.. roughly translated: the foundation for building and exploitation of congregation buildings of jehovah's witnesses (department bennekom) is happy to announce the sale of the congregation hall at edesweg 147 in bennekom.. the well maintained building of approximately 5700 sq meters divided in two layers with approximately 300 parking places on included property offers great possibilities for various fits.. on the edge of the "food valley" and "knowledge axis" lays the place bennekom currently fully under development.
both the reachability and the compartments of the buildings offer the space for various fits and cooperation between interested parties.. .
From OP (translation): Exploitation of Congregation Buildings of Jehovah's Witnesses . . .
Google translation has finally figured out the Watch Tower Society.

JW lawyer argues that in the past 26 years since official recognition of the religion, and in the previous 100 years of unofficial existence, there has been no proven harm against anyone from the activities of JWs.
[On a side note the JWs don't consider death as a result of following their teachings, such as refusal of blood transfusion for a child, as 'proven harm'.]

But on the first day, they reported all their denials that they got from the judge. Almost nothing was in their favor.
Tactic. If one was to review most of the requests they had no basis under law. For example, the JW lawyers tried to have 393 other defendants added and then requested that each are entitled to their own legal representation.

Суд пытается понять - the court is trying to understand (i.e. internal congregation structures.)
I have noticed a consistent biased of the facts by the official JW reporter. The court is actually following standard protocol by establishing each parties viewpoint for the record, which can then later be reviewed by the court to then 'understand'.
I get the impression that the JWs are reporting the courtroom feed with a bias towards anything the judge does that could be construed as in their favor. It would not surprise me that this is a tactic so that if they are banned they could claim 'corruption'.
