We Never Know
No Slack
So don't be a JW in Russia etc, the law is the law and no religion should be above the law
Yep the law is the law. That's why I never felt bad for Brittney Griner.

Just wanted to point out, it's not only the refusal to vote, but the refusal to participate in military service.... among other things, based on which country they reside.
We are not the only group that Russia persecutes. They're very good at taking measures against minorities they don't like. Gay people, for example, are heavily persecuted. People of dark color aren't treated very well either. Should all those people just be okay with the law, even if they are peaceful, decent human beings who are not causing harm to others?
Let me clarify, it's not how i think it should go, but that's how it is.
My view is if the laws impact so deeply then get out of the country.
That's a choice many people can't make. And it increases migration, which is another source of problems.
If the issue can be addressed and resolved at the source, it is normally much better.

Reports in US media suggest imprisoned Russian arms trafficker Viktor Bout - known as the Merchant of Death - could be transferred by Washington to the Russian authorities as part of the deal.Yep the law is the law. That's why I never lt bad for Brittney Griner.

A report by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom describes persecution of [Jehovah's] Witnesses as a global phenomenon
In Eritrea, if you are a member of a certain religion you will be stripped of citizenship, lose all your civil rights, and probably end up in jail. If you try to practice the same religion in Tajikistan or Singapore, you may be arrested. In Russia, your religion is banned and, if taken to jail, you may even be tortured. Even in some democratic countries, as a member of that religion there is a risk you will be harassed in several different ways.
This is the situation of the Jehovah’s Witnesses...
What the hell? Don't be an atheist in certain countries, then. The law is the law. If you're too poor to move, then screw you.So don't be a JW in Russia etc, the law is the law and no religion should be above the law

Yes i know what the thread is about, if people followed the law state religious persecution would not exist.
Why should religion be above the law?
The law is made for all the people, religion should not give people a cop out
Let's all be sure to remember this next time there are any sorts of human rights violations regardless of whether or not it involves (ir)religion, right? Nothing to see here... persecution of any ethnic group, religious group, sex group, is a'okay so long as the law says so! We should all shut up about it already!
Sheesh. You can demonstrate and complain as much as you want, it will make not the slightest difference to putin and co.
The apathetic do-nothings certainly don't make the slightest difference.
The others who do the work, though, certainly do make a difference.
There's a trite saying - and I rather hate trite sayings - that all it takes for evil to triumph is for good women to do nothing. As annoying as the saying is, it holds its truth.
