After this law, will it still be possible in Finland to talk about the family freely without having problems with the law? I ask you because in Italy they would like to pass a law accusing all those who affirm the biblical family model of homophobia. I hope they will not pass such a law.
@faith20 Well, it's such a silence around this new law that it's quite hard just to know what it really contains. But I believe this is one of the agendas with this law; to be able to shut the mouths of the "homophobic" ones. When it's written in the law that really changes the circumstances and the atmosphere from what it was before, even if there wouldn't be any concrete actions against the "hate speech" (yet).
Sadly I believe this agenda is on the EU level and they would want this same law all around Europe. But I really hope Italy will do better and they'll stay strong against this madness!

@faith20 Very good to hear that! Every resisting country in Europe is a benefit for all other countries. 👍
I believe what happened in Finland with the resistance we used to have, is that they were able to "buy" one big party in the government, "the Center" (Keskusta) by promising them things they have wanted for years to get through in Finland (a change in the socialcare system). So by giving the Center what they wanted, the Center have in exchange promised not to resist the transgender law. I also believe that this is one big reason for the silence: many of the voters for the Center come from the countryhood with a lot of conservative people. They don't want conservative people in Finland to start instead voting for the "Fundamental Finnish party" (Perussuomalaiset) - who are now in the opposition - where basically every parliament member is against this new law.

#2017 #Bhutan everybody is talking about global warming, nobody is saying anything about export of Boulders and stones from the river, mining of sand and 🪨 rocks.

What is your guess 🤔? The Father's day catch from #Aquaponics in a landlocked mountain village, is 1 pound or less ?
@Berrybunchfamily @mensajero sad but true.
@mensajero I've tried to teach a few younger people - who were leading worship - not just to copy the people they've seen on a computer leading others in worship, but to take ownership of the songs they're seeking to lead others to worship instead.
It got increasingly harder over the years to be able to impart wisdom to those younger than myself; humility has faded quickly, and the hunger to learn from those more mature in their faith has become much weaker.
Too much 'copy and paste' going on, and not enough personal relationship with Jesus...
