MOSCOW, Russia – At least a female member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses in Finland has been killed. She was killed following violent attack in Turku, Finland on Friday, August 18, 2017.

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures banned by City of Vyborg court, Russia

The sister, whose name was not disclosed at this moment, was killed in renewed violence in Finland and it occurred just a day after a Russian Court in Vyborg ignored its own laws and banned the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures(Holy Bible).

The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures is the modern translation of the Holy Bible, which is viewed as the most accurate translation from the original manuscripts used by members of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The court ruled even when it is illegal in Russia, to ban a Bible.

“However, a court-appointed “expert study” claimed that the NWT is not a Bible”, the Witnesses said adding that decision to ban the NWT came even after the powerful testimony of experts and the fine argumentation of our brothers, proving undeniably that the NWT is a Bible.

“ In spite of such obvious discrimination, Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide take comfort from Isaiah 40:8, “the word of our God endures forever.” We are appealing the decision”, the JWS said on their website.
