LIGHTING CANDLES AGAINST JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES
Support A1+!”Rebelling against “Jehovah’s Witnesses” comes to prove love of people towards the Armenian Apostolic Church and does not oppose the sectarians”, Clergyman Zohrab Kostanyan, Vice-Director of “Shoghakat” TV Company said at the round table in Araratian Diocese.
Registration of JW caused his anxiety. “Law is imperfect. There aren’t instruments to control activity of JW”, he says.
Robert Makaryan, Chairman of Student Board of Academy of Agricultural Sciences, thinks JW was registered because there was the connivance atmosphere of the society. He is sure marches and demonstrations must be held to struggle against JW.
Karen Avagyan, Chairman of Student Board of Medical University suggests launching student pickets. “As a result of them a committee from social organizations must be set up, which will control all these”, he said. Karen suggests holding pickets mainly in front of Justice Ministry that registered “Jehovah’s Witnesses”.
Hayk Akarmazyan, Chair of Student Board of Polytechnic University has another point of view. “We must not have any demand from our Authorities and Justice Ministry regarding the problem. It’s the CE demand to register them”, he says. Hayk is against the version of a picket or a demonstration since he thinks the society is sick and tired of it. The young activist has his own suggestion: “We will fight against Jehovah’s Witnesses and any kind of sects through our belief”.
Emin, a young man had a concrete proposal: “We can hold a peaceful march to Saint Sargis Church and light candles there”.
Young people together with Press Service of Araratian Diocese will work out the common strategy of fighting and the results will later be made public.
