    Just look at the second latest news cited:

    MOSCOW, August 1 (RAPSI) – The Namangan police in eastern Uzbekistan have arrested members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses religion for trying to convert local Muslims and for holding secret prayer meetings, a local police officer told RIA Novosti on Friday.

    “We stopped an illegal meeting of this organization and found print and electronic media in the meeting room that we collected for further review,” the source said. All of the arrested are Uzbek citizens.

    Under the Uzbek law on the freedom of conscience and religious associations, religious literature can only be used by registered religious associations within its registration area. The law also prohibits religious propaganda.

    The arrested could face a fine of up to 100 times the minimum wage (about $5,000 at the Central Bank of Uzbekistan exchange rate).

    Over 2,200 religious associations have been registered in Uzbekistan. More than 90% of them are Muslim organizations, but there are also 159 Christian organizations, eight Jewish and six Baha’i communities, one Hare Krishna society and one Buddhist pagoda in Uzbekistan.

    ruled by the Father in Cremlin, who used to be the Czar, then was Stalin, then was Brezhnew, then is Putin.

    Oh. So you don't really know the history of Russia.

    Maybe Russia has just figured out what the Watchtower Society is up to - according to actual court transcripts from Russia - the Watchtower Society's lawyer's argument as to why the JWs should be allowed to set up camp in Russia is because the Society has over 200 doctors waiting to use advanced surgical procedures on them.

    Nice...the Society went to the trouble of making sure there is medical staff all lined up to take care of all those JWs that the Society LOVES and tells to refuse lifesaving blood transfusions.

    If you like...or if you can't find those Russian court transcripts yourself, I will search them out for you.

    It's interesting that Ammonium Lignosulfonate is a waste by-product of the paper industry. Are they secretly making paper in Russia?

    Wherever this paper is being made, dumping its waste by-products into a stream that flows into the gulf of Finland is not cool...
