Russia's Supreme Court has banned the Jehovah's Witness organization after the country's Justice Ministry requested the group be labeled "extremist" and have their operation dissolved, a Russian state news agency reports.

As NPR has previously reported, the group's literature and website has been subject to bans in Russia and members have been arrested or had their property seized. But Thursday's ruling also means the sect's Russian assets – including its St. Petersburg headquarters and nearly 400 chapters — will become state property, according to the Tass news agency.

The state-owned service adds, that the sect had been warned in October last year over "extremist activities."

God, can you even imagine how severe Russian Jehovah's Witnesses are?

They probably kick down your door.

They don't take too kindly to people knocking on their doors in Russia.

It's probably more to do with them having no windows in their church's. Putin hates not knowing what's going on in there.

They are not a religion. They are a magazine company using the guise of religion to gain free labor to sell watchtower magazines. Period.

Ok. You let them in next time. You hand them your card, or at least make them write it down. Make sure its legible.

then you start your own rant. do not let them get in a word edgewise.

they will not come back for a year.
