Jehovah's Witnesses In Russia
I appreciate the laws of the Russian government, especially those that guarantee freedom of religion to all citizens. As Jehovah’s Witnesses, not only do we appreciate the laws set by human governments but we also respect them. At Romans 13:1 it says, “Let every person be in subjection to the superior authorities”. It is our Christian responsibility to cooperate with government officials and to be law abiding citizens. The federal law for extremist activity is being misapplied to Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia. When we attend our meetings and read the Bible or our Bible-based publications we are encouraged to love others. We also strive to work good towards all people. The Bible, at 1 Peter 3:11, even encourages us to “...seek peace and pursue it…”. We just want to live peaceful lives serving Jehovah. It is so refreshing to be at peace with one another but most importantly with Jehovah. …show more content…
I chose to dedicate my life to Jehovah because I love him and I am convinced that he wants me to have a good life. Everyday I work hard to live a life that honors God. This means that I strive to be honest, kind, patient, and loving. These are just some of the qualities that Jehovah’s Witnesses try to manifest. Millions have made the same dedication and as a result have made positive changes in their lives. We are convinced that this is the life that Jehovah wants for us. Therefore, we would never act in a way that displease

    Russian Speaking Immigrant Group Summary

    Many people alone and in groups move to United States from Russia and former Soviet Republics seeking a better life. They are in search of higher and more stable income, escaping from insecure economic and political situation and hardships with raising their family. An individual or family relocating to US is about to undergo tremendous changes in their life. Besides the normal adjustments associated with moving—setting up new home, finding new acquaintances, familiarizing themselves with unknown cultural environment—new expatriates face traumatic experiences. Some studies reported significant levels of psychological distress and other mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, which were linked to Russian speaking emigrant’s problems relating to adaptation and acculturation in the US.…

    HCS 545: Ethical Health Care Issues

    Refusal of blood transfusions became common practice only after a 1945 church decision (Mann, Votto, & Kambe, 1992). Indeed, Jehovah’s Witnesses interpret these sections of the Bible differently and if a member accepts blood into their veins, they are shunned and forfeit their membership in the faith community and eternal life. The society had enforced shunning and social isolation by Witnesses’ own family members, relatives, and friends, ultimately leading to expulsion from the religion (Doyle,…

    Russkaia Pravda

    The historical document that I interpreted was the “Russkaya Pravda”. It can be translated as “Russian Truth” or “Russian Justice” (Boyko, 2011). This early code of law of Kievan Rus was considered truthful and fair at the time. It also seems to be straight forward and fair when compared to some of the other codes of law within the same general time period. The code was discovered by the historian Vasily Tatishchev in one of the Novgorod chronicles in the 18th century (Boyko, 2011). The first annotated edition of the code was published thirty years later. More than 110 other copies dating from the 13th to 18th centuries have been discovered since then (Boyko, 2011). The oldest is the Short Edition (Kratkaya), and is also the version that I used for interpretation. The Vast Edition (Prostrannaya) is the most comprehensive. Finally, the most controversial is the Abridged Version (Sokrashchennaya). I tried to find out why it was controversial, but a lack of information available prevented me. It would suffice to say that no matter if one held more sway than others, the document reflects what was most important to people of that age, defines common crimes of the time period, respective punishments to fit those crimes, the establishment of proof of some of these crimes.…

    Jehovah's Witness Research Paper

    Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the Bible prohibits eating blood, and that this includes the storage and transfusion of blood. Unfortunately there have been many times when the transfusion of blood is required to save someone’s life, and either the person or their guardian, has refused to undergo the transfusion. The Watchtower Society (The governing body of the Jehovah’s Witness) warned that accepting a blood transfusion could prevent them from living eternally in God's new world, the goal of the Jehovah’s Witness. The Watchtower Society was once quoted in response to criticism on the topic: "It may result in the immediate and very temporary prolongation of life, but that at the cost of eternal life for a dedicated Christian." The following is their doctrine concerning blood, these are based of biblical texts such as Genesis 9:3; Leviticus 17:10 and Acts…

    Cultural Influence On Russian Culture

    Each language shapes its own culture within a country by allowing people to create an unique identity. Migration from other places, from history, has contributed to the richness in diversity of cultures, ethnicities and most importantly, languages, in developed countries. Prominently in Russia, the native people acquire descent from numerous ethnicities around the world such as Turks, Iranians, early Mongols, Turks, Jews, and Samoyeds (Central Intelligence Agency). Due to the vast cultural influences that impact Russian culture, distinct languages and cultures were bound to emerge from these outside influences from history. Currently, there are over 180 minority languages developed in Russia (BBC). While there is evident language diversity…

    Research as we have seen it tends to classify post-Soviet immigrants as being primarily Jewish immigrants. Most of these Jewish immigrants came to the United States in the late 1960’s. However, this paper will not focus on that aspect of Russian immigration. Instead, I will demonstrate that Russian speaking immigrants who arrived in the United States after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 were the most diverse group, in terms of religion and circumstances for immigration what was previously understood.…
