So, where does Love fit into this picture?
Not the kind of love most of us encounter which is self-serving or manipulative; but True Love without strings or judgment?
We all know we want it. We seem to be wired for it. Yet, it never seems to find its way into such discussion.

Nope, it won't work in Today's World. But then neither does Democracy or Plutocracy or Oligarchy or any other form of government. Until Corruption, the Love of Money, Endless Wars and Psychopathy are removed from government The People will be exploited. That is the unfortunate history of mankind so far...

Is Russia "right" about presecuting Jehovah's Witnesses?
by iliketreasure injehovah's witnesses are presecuted in russia.
on par with the is and other terroristic groups.
it happened when the anti-extremism laws were extended to non-violent groups.. i don't believe that russia actually cares for the well-being of their citizens with this move and probably merely a law to stop other political forces (and the jws are one in a way, since their gather authority over large groups of people and also have their own political and judicial institutiona), but are they right about it anyway?.

Statement from Cofty:
The topic is not the international policies of the USA it is the disregard for personal freedoms in Russia.
I believe that all in Russia have the personal freedom to do no harm to others.
Discouraging behaviors, beliefs and teachings that do indeed harm others should also be a freedom for those in Russia.
I wonder if your attitude might change somewhat after actually visiting Russia and the Russian People?
The new, surviving Russia is very, very wise.

Opinion of Cofty:
Russia is an enemy of freedom and a danger to every one of us in the west. Stand for a principle regardless of how much we despise the Watchtower.
I am always puzzled when I hear this regurgitation of propaganda. It seems
to be much more prevalent in the U.K. than in the U.S., however.
My point of view is much different. Could it be my Slavic Roots?
I do agree, however, that the Old Soviet Union of Communism which came into
existence by means of the Bolshevik Revolution, may have represented such
an enemy as Cofty describes. An ideology which Russia has shaken off but
which is very much alive in the United States in the NeoCon Establishment.
Much of the World today sees the United States as the greatest threat to
Peace and Freedom. We've killed a lot of people needlessly in the past several
decades with the spread of "Democracy at gunpoint" to those unfortunate nations
who resist American Hegemony. Our Society is in great moral decline as well with
Love of Money Corruption at heights not seen since before the Big Crash of '29.

WTBorg.inc Doctrine and Practices are a form of Radical Christendom. Rules of Men which are very destructive to all who are ensnared.
Perhaps it could be said that their banning in Russia is a consequence of their vile practices. Oh yes, on the surface they do indeed seem to be harmless and peaceful and honorable, etc, etc... But then again, we all know better than that.
Russia is very wise.

Anti vaccines
by blisterfeet ini personally feel that vaccinations are beneficial.

Once vaccinated and "protected" there should be nothing to worry about. Why would it matter at all if some choose not to be vaccinated?
If vaccinations truly are effective those who've received them should be immune.

Forgot to mention, the nurse came to visit each day to monitor progress, even on Saturdays and Sundays. Sometimes a doctor would come too. Those were the days when doctors made house calls routinely and inexpensively.

As a child of the '40s I remember how when we had a communicable disease such as mumps or measles or chicken pox, we were quarantined to our homes. A nurse from the city would come to our homes to make the diagnosis and then place a Quarantine sign at the front door of the house. I was quarantined myself twice, once for mumps and again for measles. Vaccines were sparsely administered in those days. I was confined to bed until I recovered and thought it a nice vacation from school.
Vaccines can be beneficial if they are safely produced and do not contain anything which may cause harm to any human. There is evidence, however, that vaccines may contain harmful chemicals which are unnecessary. When I hear of children or adults experiencing life threatening reactions or permanent disability in response to a vaccination I am very curious. Why?
