kimwayans nprscottsimon 😢 hurts every time I read this. I feel for them but find strength in their ability to remain positive through the persecution. Helps me wake up and continue being strong and determined to maintain endurance. Health is trash. Life is hard. But It’s all temporary.

nprscottsimon I suspect that this, has something to do with the fact that JehovahsWitnesses refuse to join the Military or salute any flag or swear an Allegiance to a Country like Russia and thus is Considered Extremist. The Witnesses where founded by Charles Taze Russell 1852-1916 npr

nprscottsimon Seems like the people arresting them are the extremists...

nprscottsimon Everyone should have freedom of religion. Including the victims who lose everything trying to leave this cult. It is clear that there was not much research done on the JWs to write this article. I owe them nothing. saysorryscott

nprscottsimon Well if he knocked on the Kremlins door at an ungodly hour of the morning trying to convert Putin , I’d be pissed too.

nprscottsimon Thank you for speaking on this issue while so many others remain silent. Remaining silent as innocent peaceful people are arrested and tortured is not an option for good hearted people. Witnesses were speaking out against Hitler in the 1920s. Who will speak out against Putin?

NotAcquiescing nprscottsimon I despise the JWs and the Religion. However, everyone should have Freedom of religion.

nprscottsimon A lot of the separation of church/ state we have in the US has come from cases Jehovah’s Witnesses took to court. I don’t agree with all of their beliefs but they’ve done some important work.

nprscottsimon This isn't new, JW's have been crapped on forever and are the target of ridicule and jokes here in the states. Let's see what happens here...my guess is nothing!

nprscottsimon Believing in nonsense while abusing kids is only going to get you tortured worse than waterboarding.

nprscottsimon They offer you come with them, not them with you.

nprscottsimon Government should stay out of religion and likewise religion should stay out of government. Using religion as an argument for a political decision should be grounds for removal. Religious groups should be completely bared from politics including donations.

nprscottsimon Everything Russia touches dies.

nprscottsimon The best way to protect religious liberty is to keep the government out of religion.

nprscottsimon Oh, now NPR cares about 'religious freedom'. 🙄🙄

Now, nprscottsimon asks, will nations that honor religious freedom dare to speak up to Russia about Witnesses' imprisonment for following their faith? nprscottsimon More anti-Russian fear mongering and sabre rattling. Does the Enemy of the People ever stop? nprscottsimon Let’s not spin it too hard. They never serve in the military, under any circumstance. They didn’t serve with the allies either.
