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.
False religious holidays or holidays of pagan origin cannot be celebrated by the Jehovah's Witnesses because they believe that their God Jehovah requires Christians to belong to the 'correct' religion in order to be saved.Belonging to a 'false' religion and participating in their false holidays is thought to be wrong.ehovah's Witnesses are politically neutral in world affairs. They are observers but do not participate. They do not vote, salute the flag, go to war to protect their homeland or do anything that would undermine their political neutrality. Therefore Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate political holidays.
