    So the Russians  (i.e me oul' pal Vlad) are banning the Jehovah's Witnesses. Feckin' extremist shower of annoying hoorbags so they are and all, but what thinketh you of banning them?

    A lot of people on here blather on about the Catholic Church. In fairness they might have run a few dodgy laundry business back in the day along with the odd hospital or school here or there, but why not get rid of these other annoying feckers first. Now, because they are somewhat of a "minority", I was wondering what the "right thinking" and righteously indignant folk on here thought about the Russians banning them...... good move or bad?

    All I'll say to the JWs is don't be knocking at my door yiz bastards or I'll get the Russian's after ye!

    That's JWs , not these other SJWs that ye do be going on and on and on about

    Religious people love to be persecuted, or at least feel like they are. It's pointless banning it. How likely is it that a particular group of people that the Russian government doesn't like is mostly JW?

    I wouldn't ban any religion. Certainly not one over another.

    They can be a very good source of tax revenue if regulated properly.

    I reckon that banning JW is probably more effective in the sense that their modus operandi is opening going around from house to house and interrupting the good denizens from their nightly dose of Russian Fair City. They'd be fairly easy to catch and prosecute!

    And regardless of the motivation behind it, does it really matter to the principle of banning it in the first place? It's either legitimate or not. Once you establish that it is legitimate, then you can worry about whether it is justified.

    Banning it doesn't stop people from believing it. It just drives it underground where people get infections from passing around dirty bibles, there needs to be some sort of treatment program where they can get clean from religion.

    He can't witness if I do it under the sheets.

    I never really got this Jehovah's Witnesses crowd.

    Who is this Jehovah fella and what did he do that he needs to call so many witnesses? Seems like his court case has been pending for ages.

    The only thing I can think of is their persistence in trying to talk to you about Judgement Day, despite the fact that some people haven't even seen Terminator 1. Ffs, let people watch the movie first before knocking on their door looking to talk about it.

    I dont know where the name came from, but I used to work with one. He was a nice guy, never pushed any agenda in work.

    The strangest thing I found is that the only thing they celebrate is their parents wedding anniversary. No birthdays, no form of celebrating at all. We were out at a christmas function and he wouldn't even chink glasses and say cheers!
