    “We don’t steal, we don’t smoke, we don’t drink and always try to obey the law,” said a Jehovah's Witness who fled Russia. “But I am 100 percent sure that if I had not left I would now be in prison.”https://nyti.ms/2usGGkW

        Yes indeed.. many jehovah's witnesses drink. The bible does not say not too drink. It says not ro be a drunkard. Jws are human, they are trying to live according to the bible fully.

        Are they equating smoking and drinking with stealing? Anyway, they’re already in a prison of the mind. #religionkills

        Become "obnoxious Internet atheist bro no one can stand being around" stereotype: Achievement unlocked. Also, you who fancy yourself of superior rationality, no, listing three things in a row does not constitute equating them,+you're either stupid or dishonest to suggest it.

        Religious intolerance on a global scale is increasing due to security concerns, questions of allegiance, financial, etc.

        No religious privilege has decreased as ignorance decreases. Fighting religiously based laws has increased. Telling you to keep your beliefs to yourself has increased. Rights of people over beliefs have increased.

        JWs have not created any of the religious laws you take issue with.

        it's an aggressive sect that deceives people and has nothing to do with religion.The goal is to deprive people of their money and property. Nothing personal just business...
