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.
In a later article, members were reminded that Jehovah's Witnesses do not donate blood or store their own blood prior to surgery. In May 2001, the Watch Tower Society revised its medical directives and identity cards addressing its doctrinal position on blood; the revised materials were distributed from May 3, 2001.rom 1931, when the name Jehovah's witnesses was adopted, Watch Tower Society publications maintained the view of Society founder Charles Taze Russell that the reference to abstaining from the eating of blood in the Apostolic Decree of Acts 15:19-29 was a suggestion to be given to Gentile converts.
