Jehovah's Witnesses Banned as 'Extremist' in Russian Region. Nearly 70 Jehovah's Witnesses publications are included among the Federal List of Extremist Materials in Russia. The Supreme Court approved Russia's first region-wide ban of the Jehovah's Witnesses religious group, deeming them extremist, Interfax said. The ruling, passed Wednesday, had been the group's final hope of stalling the ban in the Samara region, which first passed by a regional court in May, but was later appealed.
History of Jehovah Witnesses. 1  Most people have had a visit by Jehovahs Witnesses from the local Kingdom Hall. Reactions vary, from rudeness, to hospitality. 2  Today, the active number of Jehovah Witnesses is 6,429,000, and there are 95,919 congregations. In 2003, 258,845 new Jehovah Witnesses were baptized. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, the official name, claims to be Gods prophet on Earth. The historical facts show that 1919 was the year when the remnant on earth of the 144,000 Kingdom heirs began to be freed from Great Babylon. In that year the message of God's established kingdom began to be preached from house to house and publicly by Jehovah's Christian witnesses in a fearless way.
