Russian "Jehovah's Witnesses" seek refuge in Finland

In 2017, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation recognized the Jehovah's Witnesses as an extremist organization and banned their activities in Russia. Many members of the organization left Russia after this and are trying to obtain asylum abroad. In Finland, "Witnesses" is now one of the largest asylum seekers in the Russian Federation

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

Just as Jesus, Joseph and Mary knew when they fled to Egypt, and David knew when the Nation he served was trying to kill him, and he fled to the Philistines for awhile, feigning insanity .... when people come with rifles and bayonets for you and yours ... the simplest way to cancel out their power over you ... is simply be somewhere else.

The Jews in Poland as a general rule tried to hold onto all their families had accumulated over 600 or so years, and the Nazis rounded them up, and turned them into small mountains of cremation ash.

DUE TO THE BAN IN RUSSIA ,MORE THAN 4,500 JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND FRIENDS TRAVELLED TO HELSINKI,FINLAND TO ATTEND THE 3-DAY REGIONAL CONVENTION

This convention was organised just for our Russian brothers and sisters and some of them had travelled 10,000 kilometres to get there.
The Finnish brothers opened their homes to the Russian brothers whom
they didn't know personally, providing over  4,500 delegates with accomodation, food and transport to the Convention for all three days.
Despite the fact that most Finns don't speak a word of Russian, love helped to overcome the linguistic barriers (John 13:35).
Brother Mark Sanderson, of the Governing Body, was amongst those present, having come specifically to strengthen our persecuted brothers in russia.
Can you hear the love and joy from their singing to Jehovah?
