Jehovah's Witnesses are a peaceful Christian religion. They follow Bible principles and teachings and attempt to emulate Jesus Christ in their lives. They pay taxes and obey the law of the land, so long as it does not go against Christian values. When it comes to politics, they are completely neutral. They do not vote or fight wars. And now, the Russian government wants to label them extremists!
Throughout their existence, Witnesses have faced persecution. Even during the Holocaust thousands of Witnesses were incarcerated and killed for refusing to sign a document declaring their allegiance to Hitler, instead of mankind's Creator, Jehovah.
If the Russian government has its way, Jehovah's Witnesses will lose the right to gather, preach or go door to door handing out literature. Witnesses go door to door because the Bible instructs Christians to do so.
Tell the Russian Government not to trash freedom of religion and to leave Jehovah's Witnesses alone.
Attn: Vladamir Putin
We (the undersigned) are saddened to learn that your government is considering labeling Jehovah's Witnesses an Extremist group. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Jehovah's Witnesses are noted for their peaceful, law abiding demeanors. They pay taxes and obey the law. They do not believe in partaking in violence against their fellow man.
By remaining politically neutral they are only following their faith in the Christian Bible.
Jehovah's Witnesses harm no person and no government. By allowing them to be declared extremists and preventing them from practicing their lawful acts of religion, freedom for all religion will be in danger.

Please act with wisdom and leave Jehovah's Witnesses alone.
