I am very glad that Putin as a Christian himself wants to protect Christians in the countries where they are in danger. We have seen what has happened to Iraqis Christians after the invasion. They lived peacefully in Iraq when Saddam was in power and now they either have fled to Syria or other countries or have been forced to live under terrible conditions in enclaves and are fearful for their very lives. Now the Christians in Syria are facing the same fate if West succeeds in his plan. Both the Syrian Christians and those who have fled from Iraq will be killed. Strange that US always claims to be a Christian nation and government, but in reality are the worst enemy of them. This like many other things in their system is just a hypocracy.

I can just see it now, small communities of christians across Egypt get massacred by militants, leading to them taking up arms themselves and fleeing to a safe city which ends up getting shelled by government forces for several days. And the rather Anti-Christian Muslim Brotherhood, having won the election and formed a government, does not make any effort to prevent the killing of christians, only redoubling the violence every time they pledge to stop it. Putin will naturally take action against it, as he has just pledged he will.

In the United Nations Security Council, Russia makes a call for the government to stand it's forces down and halt the violence. And the USA, UK, and France will outright veto it, calling it "Eastern Interference" in the affairs of an independent democratic nation.

Syria much?

Once again Putin has the courage to focus on an unpopular issue that makes politically correct NWO NATO globalists scream.......Small communities of non Catholic Christians are being wiped out with NATO's help..Some of the Christians on the verge of extinction  or under constant threat...
The Assyrians of Iraq, (currently undergoing terror campaign)
The Copts of Egypt, 
The Maronites of Lebanon
The Gregorian Armenians of Syria (wiped out in Turkey by genocide)
The Eritrean Orthodox (see below)
The Serbian Orthodox in Kosovo (currently in a NATO-run ghetto)
The Sudanese Christians (currently victims of Arab led genocide in Darfur)
The Orthodox Christians of Turkey & Albania (Invasion of Cyprus and ethnic cleansing by Turkish army with NATO's consent)
The Orthodox Christians of the Baltics (see Juha Molari's blog on the constant bullying & threats minority Orthodox Christians face in Baltic states)
The Orthodox Christians of Croatia (genocide at Jasenovac Death Camp during WWII, massacres during WWI) 
.......and all the various denominations of African Evangalistic Christians under assault from Muslims in north subSaharan Africa..... 

Is he going to protect Jehovah's Witnesses in his own country. They are being persecuted under his leadership right now.

Remember, actions speak louder than words. I don't recall Putin actually taking any action to protect Christians in the past. Doesn't he have a KGB background? The former communist Soviet Union was one of the worst regimes in history regarding freedom of religion, or any other freedoms for that matter. He was part of that regime as far as I know. Wake up, people!

I always stay far away from the trap of religion, as especially a lot of religious institutions are in the intelligence business these days.Its a complicated trap.For years the western world instigated religious persecution against christians as a pretext for foreign intervention..This was successfully used against the soviet union-hand it not been under the pretext of religious missionaries and NGO groups, the infiltration of the soviet union would have ben more difficult.The prime minister is right when he says that it is a task for all religions to follow.One, needs to be careful , however of the religious angle in foreign affairs , to include intelligence gathering, propaganda dissemination an smuggling of both people and products.
There are many, more than a page full of heads of various intelligence agencies who carry the religious banner-it is an often over looked very vast network.

Let Putin start in his own country where numerous innocent christian books and magazines are banned and called extremist literature. Putin is a joke and even russians know that by now.

Jehovah's Witnesses as individuals and as an organisation are persecuted , harrased and violated on a daily basis in Russia.

Let him answer the European Court of Human Rights on these particular cases

Putin needs to protect secular society within Russia, and not let murderous leaders like Ramzan Kadyrov with his anti-women rules where women in Chechnya are fired if they don't act like submissive Islamic chattle and wear head-scarves as well as being subservient to abusive husbands. 

I'm with the Koran, but I'm not a muslim.  I believe people should have the say in what they believe so long as they aren't forcing it on to other people.  Jesus and myself have a bad relationship.  He left me stranded like this.

Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult that exploits helpless people by imposing their bizarre beliefs on them and are known in the US  for going door-to-door to badger people into changing their beliefs....They are also known as serial child-molesters...

Is the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian?

by Matt Slick

The answer to the question is, "No. It is not Christian." Like all non-Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witness organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity. It denies the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection, and salvation by grace.  This alone makes it non-Christian.  To support its erring doctrines, the Watchtower organization (which is the author and teacher of all official Jehovah's Witness theology), has even altered the Bible to make it agree with its changing and non-Christian teachings.

Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors:

Taking verses out of their immediate context.

Refusing to read verses in the entire biblical context.

Inserting their theological presuppositions into the text.

Altering the Biblical text to suit their needs.

Latching onto one verse to interpret a host of others.

Changing the meanings of words.

Proclaiming some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines.

Adding to the Word of God.

 "Jehovah's Witnesses have been obliged in recent years to develop child protection policies to deal with cases of child abuse in their congregations. Details of the policy have been published in Jehovah's Witnesses' publications and press releases issued by their Office of Public Information.[1][2] Some details are found only in letters to elders which, while solely for internal use, have been made available on the Internet." Wiki

"The BBC reported on the controversy around Jehovah's Witnesses child abuse in July 2002, in the Panorama program "Suffer the Little Children"[47] Jehovah's Witnesses headquarters published their response to many of the allegations made in the program, the substance of which is found in the article Jehovah's Witnesses and Child Protection on their official website."

LOL! Putty is a commie! And now he is saying that he will protect Christianity? By killing his own people ? Give me a brake! All religions are evil!

Zeig Heil!  Johann

Well, put it simply, Jehovah Witnesses are heretics. Do they follow everything that is proclaimed in The Nicene Creed, which was written in 381 AD? No, absolutely not. You may not like it, but that's the facts.

God's Tsar should be protecting ethnic Russian Orthodox Christians from satanic foreign influences that endanger the ethnic Russian ethnos and Orthodox Christianity... and yes, that does include antichrist jews, muslims, catholics and protestant blasphemers.

Jehovah Witnesses do not believe in the Trinity or the Divinity of Jesus Christ. JW are a cult and not Christian.

because These Moslems are lame.  Islam is a cult

Since the vatican started the communist party, I can only wonder what does he mean to protect catholics or Christians?

You should try to be careful here.  They do not believe in the Trinity because it is not in the bible anywhere.  That was inserted into the Church at the Council of Nicea 300 years later.  They try to model themselves after 1st century Christians, which pre-dates the appearance of the Trinity doctrine.

They are not technically a cult, either.  They originated when a group of people got together and questioned whether the church actually followed the bible.  So they started an intensive study of it, and found many disagreements with what the bible says, and what the church says.  Presumably, this was the Catholic church, but it is problematic when you see church doctrine being directly contradicted by what is said in the bible. 

They do have many strict teachings.  They seemingly appear at first to be very lenient, but there is a hidden internal control mechanism than makes it almost worse than the tightest dictatorship.  However, they do explain all the rules ahead of time, so it's not like you can ever say you didn't know any better, if you ever start to "disagree" with them.

It takes a rather subtle style of argument to properly discredit them.  It is not as simple as you might think, to do so; in a way that someone who is also familiar with them (internally) can also accept.

I have a question... so I will ask it here.

Is there a RT article here to go with the RT video of the huge flash seen in St Petersburg ?

It's news... but I didn't see an article here ?

Anyhoo... there is a RT video taken from inside a car driving along a St Petersburg highway... the radio is playing John Lennon's demented jew/nwo song, "Imagine"... right as Lenin.. er.. Lennon sings: "only sky above us"... there is a huge bright flash in the foreground and traffic begins to stop.
