First of all, children should learn to ‘take’ a no. I accept that there are nut-case parents who should be in jail. Before all this, WHY are children kept in separate rooms? So their parents can have sex ubditurbed?
Narcissistic parents are notorious for not allowing their children to have any boundaries. They have no problem going through their children’s personal belongings or even breaking or getting rid of things their child uses or loves. Children are allowed no privacy, & some narcissistic parents go as far as removing their bedroom doors. Possibly the worst thing narcissistic parents do is refusing to allow their children to say “no”.
Narcissistic parents are too self centered to realize or even care that by not allowing their children to say no, they are teaching their children some pretty terrible lessons. When children learn that saying no is bad & not allowed, this teaches them that others can treat them however they wish. This opens the door for other wicked people to abuse these children. It also sets these children up for a life of misery because they don’t believe they have the…
Saddened to hear, over the BBC, that No help is arriving.
This, despite a situation like this.
That reduces my belly to a jelly. But no matter.
WHY isn’t even the (Chritian) West involved? …Have noticed, over time, that helping ‘Others’ does not seem to be a priority for Hinduism. …But why not even Arab, and Muslim countries like Indonesia, et al?
As I see it, NOBODY seems to be liking the Taliban‘s policies.
Mi ha ricordato qualcosa detto anche da Updike, di cui oggi ricorre l’anniversario della nascita
John Updike fu un romanziere, saggista e scrittore di racconti americano nato il 18 marzo 1932 e morto nel 2009. Pubblicò oltre 20 romanzi, più di una dozzina di raccolte di racconti, e anche poesie, critica letteraria e libri per bambini. Ricevette numerosi riconoscimenti, tra cui due Premi Pulitzer per la narrativa: è uno dei soli quattro autori ad aver vinto il Premio Pulitzer più di una volta.
Scrisse:
“Mi piacciono i vecchi. Possono essere dei meravigliosi bastardi perché non hanno niente da perdere. Le uniche persone che possono essere se stesse sono i bambini e i vecchi bastardi”.
My Dear Shiva, You present good hopes. …But I do not think a WW at this stage would be the end of the Earth. …Dog putin, if he starts it, would ally with china, n korea, and possibly venezuela. On the other side would be the West which is Bigger than NATO (non NATO members would be joining in).
I do not think most of Africa or S America would be involved (except for crackpots).
Herein, I Bind/Tie/Remit putin and #kirill’s sins on their heads. In other words, I Refuse them Forgiveness.
In putin’s case it is his lies (NOT going to invade Ukraine, Not bombarding Civilians/Civilian areas, etc,), his crime of destroying another country, killing women and Children.
You can’t bury Your dead.
putin going to church, making the sign of the cross, whatever, count for Nothing besides these things.
MY caption will say: putin makes The Sign of The Cross, Multiple times.
In kirill’s case it is his Naivette., Not being concerned about putin’s crimes stated above. Also, …
Putin found one substantial plank from Russia’s past that he could build with: Orthodoxy. His government made a deal with the church. The state would help rebuild the church that had made Russia special for more than a thousand years, and the church would support the government, conservative values, and even Putin’s questionable foreign interventions in Ukraine, Syria, and elsewhere. (From: https://restoftheiceberg.org/posts/2018/4/2/why-does-the-russian-orthodox-church-support-vladimir-putin)
All those deals do not save kirill’s skin. …All heads of Christian churches are supposed to be The Vicar of Christ. That, evidently, takes some doing.
(In the event of either or both of them Recanting, with the UTMOST sincerety, my above gets Nullified).
…
Some background.
Christ Jesus gave His Aposles, (NOT to the Public in general, see John 20.19), the Authority to forgive sins, Or to Refuse that.
That is Hugely contested, but here is what The Bible says He said:
We can see that ALL versions (translations) say the Same thing. Pl look at the left column. My being Ordained gives me that Authority.
If You ask What Practical purpose does my statement serve… Useful Only if it reaches their Ears. But Funnier things have happened,
My Respects, Love and Regards to All the Ladies in the World. Especially to Our Lady bloggers, and the Brave Ladies of Ukraine and Russia.
Let me Salute the Brave Ladies of India who WALKED, often Carrying their Children, HUNDREDS of Kilometres in 40+ centigrade heat, due to our prime minister modi’s unplanned handling of the Corona lockdown.
It’s International Women’s Day, and there’s little sign of public acknowledgement, presumably because there’s so much else on the public mind.
My thoughts are with the women of Ukraine. It is barely believable that just a few weeks ago they were living comfortably in situations similar to our own. Today they fear for their lives and those of their loved ones. Some are preparing to fight. I heard a woman interviewed who said it takes strength in the hand and fingers to fire a weapon. When asked how she would feel about killing someone she said she wasn’t thinking about that, just concentrating on the moment.
Many have left home, husbands, and other family to take their children on long journeys to uncertain safety, with tags showing their children’s blood group sewn into their clothes.
