Do we have anything to fear when we see arrests and bans placed on our literature and worship? In the first century the Jews tried to stop Witnesses of Jehovah under Christ and that ended in failure. A number of the Roman Emperors tried to wipe them out and that ended in failure. In the US during WW1 the government locked up leading members of the organization, with the churches celebrating the end of the JWs in the US. That ended in failure. Hitler was determined to wipe out JWs out of all the territories he conquered especially Germany sending them to concentrations camps. That ended in failure. Stalin deported most of them from the western soviet territories to Siberia to stamp them out and that ended in failure. Malawi tried to wipe them out and that ended in failure. China has tried to wipe them out and thats ended in failure. Canada banned them in Quebec a couple of times and that ended in failure. See the pattern? Look at what is written at Acts 5:34 But a Pharisee named Ga·ma′li·el rose in the San′he·drin; he was a Law teacher esteemed by all the people, and he gave the command to put the men outside for a little while. 35 Then he said to them: “Men of Israel, be careful as to what you intend to do about these men. 36 For instance, before these days Theu′das rose up, saying he himself was somebody, and a number of men, about 400, joined his party. But he was done away with, and all those who were following him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Gal·i·le′an rose up in the days of the registration, and he drew followers after himself. That man also perished, and all those who were following him were scattered. 38 So under the present circumstances, I say to you, do not meddle with these men, but let them alone. For if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them. Otherwise, you may even be found fighters against God himself.
