It appears that Russian president Putin is trying to replace democracy with a Christian Republic. He figures it is now time to clean up the airwaves.

Putin on Monday signed legislation that bans outright the use of swear words in films, stage performances and media, prompting a storm of criticism from leading arts figures who called the law unworkable and overly draconian.
The language law comes as part of a broader crackdown on independent media and popular bloggers, apparently aimed at muzzling political debate.

"Russian life is becoming more and more hypocritical, insincere and prudish," award-winning theatre director Kirill Serebrennikov wrote on Facebook, saying swear words had been declared "enemies of the people."

Dr. Jones' most important writings came after God brought him back into the full-time ministry in 1991. It is here that all his earlier years of searching the Scriptures began to come into clear focus. He combines a knowledge of the Old and New Testaments with a personal revelation of God that began and developed during the "wilderness" period of his life, which he often refers to as God's True Bible College...
