This video.. is ridiculous.. im a witness.. and its sad that they have to use a video of bold face lies.. if u are going to lie at least use something half true.. attend a local kingdom hall and u will be there is no jumping up and down.. fight.. or brain washing.. just normal people like myself that want to live by bible standards
c3mico...I was a witness for a very long time. You're right there are no medical contraptions like in the Princess Bride to Brainwash the people...but the witnesses are very very much manipulated and mentally controlled=Brainwashing. Witnesses are far from Normal. I tried to sell that same crap as a witness too, but it's just not true.
Happie.. Im the kind of guy that doesn't believe things just because im told there true.. or because i want to be excepted in the a "club".. i had to search for the truth and make it my own.. i studied not from the JW's books but from the bible.. then i went and checked out the witnesses.. if u cant back it up with the bible i don't wanna hear it.
c3mico...I was in the "truth" for a very very long time...I grew up under the idea and impression, as was pushed by the society, that they are not to be questioned because they are the mouthpiece of God...then I grew up and realized that if I don't question then how do I know for sure I have the truth, and I felt the ever changing beliefs the organization pushed on it's followers crumbled when tested..also I realized by being a part of the Witnesses I was putting my faith in earthling man.
I commend the fact that you don't believe everything you hear, but feel it must be tested..That ultimately led to my leaving the organization, which unfortunately testing and questioning the things taught was looked down by the elders, because asking questionable questions is being prideful.
O and i consider myself and my brothers and sisters in my hall normal.. i go out to eat.. i play video games i like.. i watch movies i like.. i go and spend time with my family when i want..(which are not witnesses) i bet my wife wishes i was brainwashed sometimes haha.
Anyways all i was saying is that this video is so inaccurate, if u spent anytime with the witnesses u know it is.. its its just sad to me.. it seems like the witnesses are the only once not brainwashed by these kinds of videos.
Wow...we tend to forget what it's like in other places that have yet to crawl out from under the vestiges of the dark ages till we chance to see something like this. We've all of us, JW or otherwise, got our work cut out for us still.
oh please, do your homework... what disgusting propaganda... Jehova's wintesses are the closest to the TRUTH as we would ever know... they would never wear combat gear, they would never engage in war or violent activities, and I could go on, so yes, what absalute insult to anyone with an education...
I am one of Jehoavh's Witnesses and absolutely disgusted that this news program has portrayed us in this way. I pray that Jehovah brings to task those pernicious men who have contrived to present God's name people in this foolish light and deliberately sought to defame them. Any right minded person can see the intent of this media report in an instant. May Jehovah thoroughly rebuke them!
Prov 2:21 For the upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. 22 As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.
2Tim 3:12 In fact, all those desiring to live with godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be persecuted. 13 But wicked men and impostors will advance from bad to worse, misleading and being misled.
@stuart1116 You reaslise the bible was written over long periods of time by men who thought the world was flat, the rain was god crying, and who thought Noah's ark is actually a true story.
Matt 5:10 Happy are those who have been persecuted for righteousness sake, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them.
11 Happy are YOU when people reproach YOU and persecute YOU and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against YOU for my sake. 12 Rejoice and leap for joy, since YOUR reward is great in the heavens; for in that way they persecuted the prophets prior to YOU.

The Interviewer handled this interview rather well, but it's no secret that the man being interviewed has a biased view of Jehovah's Witnesses & knows nothing about them. The people in those video clips being played during the interview are NOT Jehovah's Witnesses at all! This is the type of PROPAGANDA that misinforms people & causes hatred. I advise anyone to walk into any Kingdom Hall at any given time and I can guarantee you will never see this kind of behavior among these peaceful people.
(4) That is totally absurd! I am not insulted by this video at all, Im actually rejoiced by it, because it strengthens my faith that we are truly doing what Jesus commanded us to do. Jehovah warned us this was going to happen, it is prophecies being fulfilled!
(3) Why can they not answer that? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT READ THEIR BIBLE!! It has been told that is what will occur! People have changed for the good, they are loyal citizens and do not tolerate misconduct that disglorifies Jehovah's name. Not all Jehovah Witnesses are "good" because at the end of the day, we are all imperfect and make mistakes, but the fact here that they are being attacked as a group for HELPING PEOPLE LEARN THE BIBLE, FOR FREEEEEEE
(2) he preached, he taught, he helped people, he loved people, he was kind and honest and that is what is noted of JWs worldwide! What other organization or group can gather thousands of people together in one location from different countries and races and worship together in unity, love and peace, NONE!! not even when people are obligated it doesnt work! Clearly, people can not understand why JW are being banned, why are they being persecuted and not any other religion?
(1)This video along with many others pertaining this and other cases, just proves to be what Jesus said was going to happen. He clearly said, "They will hate you, because you are no part of this world" If Jesus was spit on, beaten, chased to be killed as if he was a criminal, was called a blasphemer, a ridiculer, etc. what can we expect to be called? What can we expect to happen to us now as the end draws near. Anyone who reads the bible and truly understands Jesus' lifecourse knows:
holy crap the video in the back ground is nothing like that crap there showing. when have you seen JWS fighting each other and when have you seen them jumping over a freakin fire, does that have anything to do with them. It has to be pentecostal.
Wow, what a despicable biased misrepresentation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia.
This prejudiced 'news' story just cost Russia Today its credibility. Its a crying shame that all the effort that has gone into building a good reputation among the community of honesty, adherence to the rule of law, good conduct and love of neighbor can be so despicably damaged by a propagandist 'news' story.
The video clips they show are not Jw's, Looks more like the Pentecostals and some martial arts club, I was forbidden from participating in violent sport as a child, The video clips are bs.
The Russians are far more guilty of acting like dictators in this case then the WT.
If you look at the YouTube RT site they have a comment that says, (We are set to show you how any story can be another story altogether). well ain't that the truth, you've certainly twisted this story. I E-mailed their website on a number of occasions and got no reply, I wonder if FOX news heard of this, they would love to tear this news station apart, and shame on Medvedev, he has the power to stop these lies, although I am sure he's in on it. I think something needs to be done about this.
"SHAME ON YOU RT"!!! Jehovah's witness have never been involved in martial arts or violence OR demon posses so called holy spirit! You got the wrong denomination ;) and whats with the stick tapping? whats that all about? I've never seen that in the truth in 18 years i've been serving....and i've travel the world to dozens of halls. I actually feel quite grossly sick watching that....cant believe anything thing you guys say now..May Jehovah forgive for your lies.
I've bee a Jehovah's Witness for over 30 years ... The videos that were played in the background of this "news" show are NOT Jehovah's Witnesses ... I have NEVER seen or been a part of this type of behavior ... RT is a fraud ... RT is NOT a true professional media source.
Horrible lies, saten using the media to show his hate for Jehovahs people. If you can't find anything bad I guess the next thing to do is just lie, saten did the same thing in the garden of Eden. This should not suprise us. May Jehovahs name be vindicated and his sovereignty be known over all the world.
Shame on you RT! Anybody who's encountered Jehovah's Witnesses can tell you they are not what you portray them as here. How dishonest and repulsive to anyone who likes fair and balanced reporting. Good for you that you feel like you can get away with this kind of reporting in Russia because in other countries where there's freedom of religion you'd be sued for defamation!
wow you realy do not know what to do to your life that is way you creat stupid false news about how foolish you are . If Almighty God Jehovah is with us ,you can't do anythings. But to play STUPID VIdeo News like this ,how stupid can you think ?
Wow, sad to see how they manipulate the people with lying propganda about the JW's. They did it before. Government sanctioned lies. But the truth gets out. Check out Part X in the series on my youtube page on "Empires at March." It explains a lot of the persecuttion the Witness brothers faced over there behind the iron curtain.
What I don't understand is what is that in the background?? Obviously not the JW's. Are they trying to pull a fast one? Waking on hot rocks is not our form of worship. Satan will not win the battle, those honest-hearted people seeking the truth wil find it because Jehovah will make it possible. For him ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
Prophecies is here now.....If Jehovah will's it will happen . We hold on ,stand firm in our faith . We Love you Jehovah ,be with us always ,hope paradise is here now . Thanks Bothers !
As someone who was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, but now is no longer one, I can tell you that "documentary" about Jehovah's Witness is pure bullshit. Jehovah's Witnesses don't perform any strange rituals like that. Everything that was shown was fabricated. That being said, it is a very extreme religion & they are very big on martyring themselves. Trust me, having their religion banned in some part of the world only feeds their belief that their religion is the only true religion in the world.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I love the background video! It is hilarious. I wish being a jw was that much fun. Boxing, singing songs, laugh fests, walking on burning coals. I grew up a jw and it sucked completely. I hope they get banned. But as the guy said, it will be counterproductive because they'll interpret it as the great persecution before armageddon.
You can tell who is behind this propaganda by what the video does NOT contain.Images of the Orthodox church. The clergy is NOT interested in spreading truth. The Russian Orthodox Church is only interested in consolidating it's influence,no matter how evil the methods to that end.
Wow, this is propaganda. Those images have nothing to do with Jehovah Witnesses. It serves more to incite negative feelings toward the group and violence.
I lost some respect for Russia Today but they do a good job exposing 9/11 and other crimes.
Remember when the Jehovahs Witnesses were being persecuted in Georgia, well Saakashvilli lost his credibility soon after when the Russians invaded, now the russians are at the very same thing, HYPOCRITES, but don't worry RUSSIA is more than likely the King of the North as described in the Bible, They will engage in a war with the King of the North. and all their efforts will come to nothing, because god will have the final say. Dictatorial countries like russia will soon be crushed by Jehovah.
This station has only gotten off the ground and already they have lost all credibility in europe, they are useless, I hope the ratings plummet, this is the kind of Grandiose and disgusting speech that the bible spoke of happening in the time of the end. They have mouths speaking perverse things, proceeding according to thier badness. Jehovah always has a way of dealing with things like this.
I E-mailed these idiots in R.T. last night to tell them exactly what I thought of them, I would not be surprised if the Watchtower society don't take legal action for such defamation. Defamation is rarely tolerated in media anymore because it costs terribly for News Stations and Papers. Obviously these brainwashed news reporters haven't got a clue the kind of damage this could cause for them.
I know lots of non witnesses who have all agreed that this station has lost all credibility .
Defend is the right word for it, because that's exactly what we find ourselves doing, let me guess you are an X witness or something, talk about turning full circle.
I wonder would you defend your honour if it was undermined by Liars ?. well obviously not because you don't believe in human rights now do you.
And they say witnesses don't think for themselves, that's ROYAL with a capital R, it's obvious that the russian people love this drivel and nonsense and need this hate fuelled crap because THEY obviously can't think for themselves, I have NEVER NEVER NEVER met someone who disowned there family to be a Jehovahs Witness, FACT: they are told to show more love for thier families because of thier christian teaching. If there are those doing it then stop its giving my religion a bad name.
All I will say is that you may disagree with Jehovahs Witnesses over certain doctrinal issues but this is absolute lies. it's a disgusting thing to do on someone of a different religion, if my religion is not for you then that's fine, we don't force people to join, yo1dude1man is obviously disgruntled over some other issue so he decides to take a cheap shot with his stupid comment. all crap and no facts. and get a life R.T. you all need to lose your jobs, you brainless half wits.
I believe JW's are a false religion, and everyone should turn away, but this is total BS. Witnesses are not like that at all. I feel bad for the gross misrepresent ive tone, and this "news" org should lose all their credentials.
What about FOX NEWS??? They are Republican driven! Look at all the propaganda that was produced by Fox News for the past eight years. By the way, I don´t trust your CNN.
How the hell can Russian citizens whom are brainwashed by their government suggest how horrible the U.S. government is when they don't give a shit about this?
Last time I checked in the USA, Islam and other religions were still legal.
Translation: I don't mind my country banning a group of people whom were just praciting their religion.
I don't hear you suggesting that a more violent religion should be investigated, say Islam where "honor" killings are quite a common practiced.
Last time I checked, no Jehovah Witness ever blew themselves up for their beliefs or killed their own members for leaving their religion the way self-describe Jihadis have done.
But you suggest that and you'd be an "Islamophobe".
You have an Uzi submachinegun as your YouTube avatar - what kind of family do YOU have, yankee shithead??
I see "Scientology" is still legal in the USA? Despite proof that it's a criminal gang?? ROFL!!! I love yankees, they make me laugh all day!! BWAAAhahaha!!!
What is that video being played in the background?!
Everything in that video has NOTHING to do with Jehovah's Witnesses! It's like you liars took clips from some kind of wannabe "Fight Club" and from Faith-healing groups!
Jehovah's Witnesses dress, groom and conduct themselves conservatively! In fact, their meetings are described by many as UTTERLY BORING!
In THIS the kind of BULLSHIT news you have in Russia? NO WONDER we have missiles pointed at you!
BULLSHIT! Jehovah's Witnesses read and study their Bible much, much more than your average evangelical Christian! I should know, since I've seen both types of Christians up close and personal.
Jehovah's Witnesses inciting hatred? That's ridiculous! I've studied with them. Their congregations are more racially mixed than any others in the U.S.
i used to be a Jehovah's witness ,they sadly are just a pagan cult with bibles , when i converted to Islam, i stopped talking to that side of the family even through that is not allowed in Islam. believe me when i tell you this from a first hand experience they are bad people with a uneducated intolerant elitist mindset.
"...believe me when i tell you this from a first hand experience they are bad people with a uneducated intolerant elitist mindset...." Why should I believe ANYTHING a Muslim says, especially when he comes from an "uneducated intolerant elitist mindset"?
You're full of shit. I studied deeply with Jehovah's Witnesses for at least a year and half.
this shit is fucking ridiculous! take all those idiots and force em to learn better things and those who fail should be sent to siberian uranium mines and watch their jehovah help them there be more productive :D
Under the Bolshovicks , the Russian people had their religion taken from them . For 70 odd years they suffered under the murderous communists yoke. Keep the J.H's out ,and the Mormans also. And the Latin catholics also. Let the Russians regain their culture , their faith.
These images are gruesome. I am glad Russia banned these Jehovah Freaks. Jehova Witnesses are a bunch of freaks out to get your money!! Talk about real thieves!
I think they're being banned for their political neutrality. Nowadays Russia is becoming more nationalistic so that kind of thinking is dangerous for the government.
I was quite surprised because those footage they showed were random and had nothing to do with the religion.
That's what it is, their political neutrality. J.W.'s were sent to the concentration camps, where they were made to wear the Purple Triangle (instead of the Yellow Star of David). Russia is becoming increasingly neo-Nazi, so that's why J.W.'s are getting banned.
What a ple of ignorant crap you spew. Look at your own fucking country, and the rise of ultra-right fascist madmen controlled by the Religious Right?? John-Bomb McCain, the religious madman who wants to nuke Iran because they're muslims?? You are a fucking nut.
Nobody wants to nuke Iran, you misinformed nitwit. We know perfectly well what happens if nukes go off anywhere on the planet! We had Carl Sagan telling us about "nuclear winter" while you Commies were still proliferating your arms and pushing your Spetzgruppa forces out of the back of speeding cargo-lifters.
The TRUTH is that this so-called news-story is pure BULLSHIT. If this is the sort of milk you suck from the tit of "Mother Russia", its no wonder you're so ignorant.
John McCain is an Ultra-right fascist madmen? He is the most left wing republican in the senate! He is more left wing than some democrats!! And controlled by the religious right?? Is that what your media teaches you?
Iwannabejew, is correct, nobody wants to nuke Iran you are misinformed.
I suggest you watch the video again. He never said "when I am president we will bomb iran". At best that is a joke. Is english your fourth language? You are read too much into. If you were raised in the USA you would see that.
I have a few friends that grew up in Russia. They said it was a big Jew hating country. Of course, this is the fact that Russia is a big part of Gog and Magog that wides to kill off us Jews.
Yea But what??? Obama used the godless left, the new age movement, the new black panthers, etc
Conservatives in the USA look at the parties and see both parties as bad but the democrats as worse of the two. Most conservatives were upset at Bush for signing the North American Union and forcing Israel to give away Gaza to its enemies (looked at what happened).
McCain is NOT Bush. McCain is more like Obama than Bush.
Fuck yea!! It's about time to advance into the future. Lets ban female genital mutilation in Uganda, lets ban animal sacrifices in a delta of Amazon, and lets ban religion. On towards the future!!!
This video.. is ridiculous.. im a witness.. and its sad that they have to use a video of bold face lies.. if u are going to lie at least use something half true.. attend a local kingdom hall and u will be there is no jumping up and down.. fight.. or brain washing.. just normal people like myself that want to live by bible standards

Satan will not win the battle, those honest-hearted people seeking the truth wil find it because Jehovah will make it possible. For him ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

People should know their Bible. Russian Orthodoxy has failed the people of Russia. Helped them win a war, but not THE war. Only Jehovah can do that.

As someone who was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, but now is no longer one, I can tell you that "documentary" about Jehovah's Witness is pure bullshit. Jehovah's Witnesses don't perform any strange rituals like that. Everything that was shown was fabricated. That being said, it is a very extreme religion & they are very big on martyring themselves. Trust me, having their religion banned in some part of the world only feeds their belief that their religion is the only true religion in the world.

I love the background video! It is hilarious. I wish being a jw was that much fun. Boxing, singing songs, laugh fests, walking on burning coals. I grew up a jw and it sucked completely. I hope they get banned. But as the guy said, it will be counterproductive because they'll interpret it as the great persecution before armageddon.

You can tell who is behind this propaganda by what the video does NOT contain.Images of the Orthodox church. The clergy is NOT interested in spreading truth. The Russian Orthodox Church is only interested in consolidating it's influence,no matter how evil the methods to that end.

Remember when the Jehovahs Witnesses were being persecuted in Georgia, well Saakashvilli lost his credibility soon after when the Russians invaded, now the russians are at the very same thing, HYPOCRITES, but don't worry RUSSIA is more than likely the King of the North as described in the Bible, They will engage in a war with the King of the North. and all their efforts will come to nothing, because god will have the final say. Dictatorial countries like russia will soon be crushed by Jehovah.

I E-mailed these idiots in R.T. last night to tell them exactly what I thought of them, I would not be surprised if the Watchtower society don't take legal action for such defamation. Defamation is rarely tolerated in media anymore because it costs terribly for News Stations and Papers. Obviously these brainwashed news reporters haven't got a clue the kind of damage this could cause for them.
I know lots of non witnesses who have all agreed that this station has lost all credibility .

And they say witnesses don't think for themselves, that's ROYAL with a capital R, it's obvious that the russian people love this drivel and nonsense and need this hate fuelled crap because THEY obviously can't think for themselves, I have NEVER NEVER NEVER met someone who disowned there family to be a Jehovahs Witness, FACT: they are told to show more love for thier families because of thier christian teaching. If there are those doing it then stop its giving my religion a bad name.

All I will say is that you may disagree with Jehovahs Witnesses over certain doctrinal issues but this is absolute lies. it's a disgusting thing to do on someone of a different religion, if my religion is not for you then that's fine, we don't force people to join, yo1dude1man is obviously disgruntled over some other issue so he decides to take a cheap shot with his stupid comment. all crap and no facts. and get a life R.T. you all need to lose your jobs, you brainless half wits.

That's what it is, their political neutrality. J.W.'s were sent to the concentration camps, where they were made to wear the Purple Triangle (instead of the Yellow Star of David). Russia is becoming increasingly neo-Nazi, so that's why J.W.'s are getting banned.
