@sinbach and I can't help but correcting myself. I learned in school that the plural of deer is deer (not deers). 😁

@sinbach you've got a cool sister! She should come here and kill some deers in Finland. A century ago there were no deers at all. They don't belong here, and they create and ecological imbalance and spread ticks that can spread lyme disease.

Me too. Honestly, I must confess it's not easy to stand the pressure. They are blaming us every day in Finnish media that the virus is still existing. I have seen several videos of Americans being ushered out of their working places. Yesterday a Christian man who was employedd at UCLA got fired because he wasn't jabbed. He had worked there for 7 years, and was working there risking his own health during the outbreak of c. (You can see the clip on rooted.wings on Instagram) I am still waiting for more people in my country to get their eyes opened on what's going on. But not even the fact that vaccinated people get the virus and transmit it, and that they get hospitalized, have open their eyes. The problem? We should give it to children 2-11 now. And a third and a fourth jab. They don't see any connections to young people and healthy people getting strange symptoms some weeks or months after the shot. There are three levels of adverse reactions, and immediate allergic reactions are rare.

@sinbach @bethany I am happy that your first thought is to believe the best, not the worst, and be merciful. I've seen many sharings of this quote on SOME. It might be either or... but my own experience is that it's very difficult to discuss theological stuff on social media in only a few words. Especially to get a short quote right, or to share your beliefs in a couple of sentences. Articles and pods are better.

@Williams_girl @faith20 thanks for the encouragement! I've always loved English and it was one of my favorite subjects in school. For a Swedish speaker, it's not extremely difficult. There are so many similar words, and expressions. I read somewhere that the Scandinavian languages and English have the same roots. If you look at a map, you can see that Great Britain and Norway are really close. They were traveling a lot between these countries on the sea.
I'm impressed with your son's learning Hebrew! That is so different from English.

@faith20 I think your English is great! At least for me as a non-native speaker... I understand exactly what you mean when you write, so just keep on writing! I also often hesitate when I write... sometimes I google if the expression I use is right, or if it's just something that I have made up. Sometimes I have to check the spelling of certain words. The more I write, the better I get... I read a lot, but since I don't regularily produce English (and have never lived in an English speaking country), it doesn't always come easily.

@faith20 you are so right regarding learning from the underground persecuted church! That's why I found Back to Jerusalem so intersted. I don't want persecution here, but we see some signs... things are changing rapidly in our society, so we need to be prepared that anything can happen.

@faith20 It's so wrong and sad! 😪

Kyle is a professional mountain biker from Idaho. He is 29 years old. He tells this MD about the adverse reactions he got from the Pfizer shot. He is still not well. He can't exercise anymore, but he is slowly healing thanks to natural medicine. What makes me extremely upset among other things while listening, is that he knows about a handful of people who have committed suicide because they have been treated disrespectful and even experienced anger and hatred because they have told about their vaccine injuries. They should get all help needed when they aresick - instead they are being attacked. What's wrong with people???!!

@faith20 I appreciate your prayers! What's going on in our world feels like a bad dream, that I hope to wake up from... Yesterday I shared a post with my Facebook friends (it was in Finnish) of a medical doctor. She had signed a petition to the public health authorities and government about not giving the vaccine to children. It was initiated and written by several Finnish researchers, professors, MDs and others. She was fired from her job only for signing that!! How are you and your wife doing now as you have lost your jobs?

@sinbach so great! These people are serious. Yesterday I met an Iranian man (in our house church meeting in Sweden) who has been 40 yrs in Sweden. The only person he is in contact with in Iran is his Muslim mother, with whom he's got a tense relationship. He wanted us to pray for both her and him. His eyes teared up when I wanted to talk about Iran with him and what I have heard. For instance that these people are ready to die for Christ. He said that he's been into lukewarm Christian religion in Sweden which has led him away from the Lord, but lately he's wanted to take his faith more seriously.

@sinbach wow! I suppose these people are both dedicated and open to the Lord. Are you somewhere in the Middle East? We just came back (to our hosts) from a house church meeting in Luleå, Sweden. It was only 2,5 hours and not underground. 😀

"A report by the Swedish national council for crime prevention said earlier this year that Sweden is the only European country where fatal shootings have risen significantly since 2000, primarily because of the violent activities of organized gangs."
