i know some are going to go in about us not really being Christian (blah, blah, blah, etc) but we have in the past and are currently being persecuted for our faith and beliefs.

of course in Nazi Germany JW's were put in concentration camps and were the only people there who could leave whenever they wanted as long as they denoucned their faith. in this country we've had to go all the way to the Supreme Court numerous times to keep the right to not have to salute the flag in schools, preach door to door, etc. i personally know of people who've had the police called on them and/or arrested just for preaching. most of that persecution ironically came from other people claiming to be Christians themselves.

while things aren't nearly as bad here in the United States anymore there are many JW's around the world today who are being persecuted in one form or another. there's like 600 JW's in prison right now in South Korea because they're conscientious objectors , our property in the Ukraine is being seized unlawfully among other things. there's some countries were we're still banned outright.
