____________________________________
On Thursday, at a session of the Supreme Court, a Ministry of Justice (Minyust RF) official said (providing documentary evidence):
Checks found that the organisation is in breach of the law on resistance to extremism. In particular, their religious literature forbids blood transfusion for its members in defiance of a doctor’s recommendation. The Jehovah’s Witnesses insist on their own exclusiveness, which also contradicts the law on resistance to extremist activity. Courts of law repeatedly warned the Jehovah’s Witnesses, but it took none of the required measures to eliminate the violations.
Minyust RF Demands Outlawing Jehovah’s Witnesses
The Minyust RF believes that we must outlaw the Jehovah’s Witnesses and confiscate its properties, including that of all 395 regional chapters. The Minyust RF representative said:
In view of the threat posed by the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Minyust RF asks [the court] to declare it extremist and ban its activity.
In its lawsuit, the Minyust RF mentioned a variety of violations, including those of the federal law on resistance to extremist activities. Jehovah’s Witnesses spokesman Ivan Bilenko told us:
We find this affair very worrisome, because the decision may affect 175,000 believers. We’re prepared to press for our rights in any court.
On 12 October 2016, a court in Moscow warned the Jehovah’s Witnesses Administrative Centre about extremist activities. If they failed to eliminate the exposed violations within the established deadlines, or if new evidence of extremist activities surfaced, the court would close them down. On 16 January 2017, the Moscow City Court upheld the warning about extremist activities.

This was true in 2012… it’s true today, too. Yes… I voted for Obama… he was bad, but Romney was evil, and that’s that. Note well that many of the loudmouth konvertsy voted for a fanatical Mormon… they called themselves PURE, to boot. No religion is better than such a religion, I say (at least, secularists don’t slander the Lord Christ as Mormons and Evangelicals do).

All of us… Republicans, Democrats, and Independents… can agree that the government has a vested interest in protecting the rights of children and that should include unborn children after 20 weeks.
Robert W Goodlatte
US Representative (R-VA)
Yet, Republicans in Congress just missed a deadline to reauthorise the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which helped states provide insurance coverage to 9 million children in low-income families. The Senate had put forth a bipartisan, 5-year bill to renew the programme, but didn’t schedule a vote in time, instead prioritising legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare. The House never even proposed a bill to reauthorise CHIP, which expired at the end of September.

The Republicans are lying sacks o’ shit. They don’t give a hoot in hell about poor LIVING kids… their rich paymasters might have to pay more taxes! EEK! Oh, the humanity! We can’t have insurance for poor kids… if they won’t work hard enough, they shouldn’t eat! JAYZUS SAID SO (remember, Evangelicals aren’t Christian; Jayzus is the idol that the Evangelicals substitute for the Lord Christ). Watch the konvertsy have paroxysms of joy over this. If you needed proof that they’re not Orthodox and don’t have a scrap of real Christianity in their bones, this is that. Living kids have priority over self-serving anti-abortion gestures. Our Lord Christ would’ve said likewise. Let God see and judge… this is evil of the highest order. Taking away kid’s healthcare to make grandstanding gestures… it’s depraved… just pure fiendishness. Satan laughs at our foolishness and knavery… he calls for a celebratory drink…
