Why were Jehovah's Witnesses De-funded in Norway? Cult Life with Robin Jackson
-
- Religion & Spirituality
Norway, which has a national Church but no national religion, is one of those countries where religion is literally subsidized by taxpayers; the more members you have, the more money your preferred religious (or Humanist) organization receives. Any "religious" group with 50 registered members is eligible to apply for state funding, and over 800 groups receive it.
The law is very clear about the types of religious and non-religious organizations that can receive that money.There are, however, some rules that govern that allocation:
If a religious or philosophical community, or individuals acting on behalf of the community, commits violence or coercion, makes threats, violates children’s rights, violates statutory discrimination prohibitions or in other ways seriously violates the rights and freedoms of others, society may be denied grants or grants may be suspended. This video breaks down the reasons behind the defunding of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Norway.
