A WORLD IN TROUBLE

There's a lot of trouble in this old world. The thieves steal more and more, and get richer and richer. The poor suffer. And often starve.

SOLUTION ON THE WAY

But one day. Soon. These troubles will have an end. When the King comes.

31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

SOME WILL ENTER THE ETERNAL KINGDOM

33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' (Matthew 25, Holy Bible)

There was a group of forward-looking Christians who were interested in getting a place in the Kingdom. And so they said, Where can we find some brothers of Christ who are hungry?

Too easy.

There were plenty of them in Gaza.

Make that "blockaded Gaza". "Israeli Navy commandos attacked at least one of the six ships carrying pro-Palestinian activists and aid for blockaded Gaza, killing at least 10 and wounding several dozen on board, according to an Israeli TV network and a lawyer for the activists' group." (Report: Israel attacks flotilla, 10 die, MSNBC, 31 May 2010)

A TRUSTING BAND OF OPTIMISTS

The Christian "flotilla was "fully prepared for the different scenarios" that might arise, and organizers were hopeful that Israeli authorities would "do what's right" and not stop the convoy". (Report: Israel attacks flotilla, 10 die, MSNBC, 31 May 2010)

After all, the Jews knew what adversity was like. They'd been hunted down in the Warsaw ghetto. After days of tough fighting. Hungry, thirsty, and defeated.

And so these missionaries trusted the Jews.

Was this the right decision? Let's see what Jesus had to say:

DON'T TRUST THEM

"[6] Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
[11] How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
[12] Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees." (Matthew 16, Holy Bible)

Doctrine: "A principle or body of principles presented for acceptance or belief, as by a religious, political, scientific, or philosophic group; dogma." (http://www.answers.com/topic/doctrine) In other words, standard operating procedure.

And "Pharisees and of the Sadducees"? "A member of an ancient Jewish sect". (http://www.answers.com/topic/pharisees) "A member of a priestly, aristocratic Jewish sect". (http://www.answers.com/topic/sadducee) Some of these men are pictured at right interacting with Jesus.

So how can we know what the standard operating procedure is for these people?

Aside from works of art scattered around most Christian churches, there are frequent reports in the media that give us an inside view.

Most readers will be familiar with the popular site facebook, which "helps you connect and share with the people in your life". (see graphic)

Well, what kind of people might we be talking about? Oh, marketers. "Reach the precise audience you want with relevant targeted ads." (http://www.facebook.com/advertising/?src=awgl01) You just supply the site with information like where you live, how old you are, and what your interests are. And they can give you exactly the sort of advertising you need.

AND ITS ALL FREE

The users don't have to pay. And the companies act like they're free of legal constraints. Consumer Protection Norway explains that Facebook operates in a nearly law-less manner with respect to protection of personal data and user conditions, which are inaccessible and change regularly. "Forbrukerrådet mener Facebook opererer i et nærmest lovtomt rom i forhold til personvern og brukervilkår, der vilkårene er utilgjengelige og endres jevnlig." In short, the users are being deprived of their basic rights when they become Facebook members. (Marianne Siebke, Klager Facebook inn for Datatilsynet, NRK, 26 May 2010)

Hm. Deprived of basic rights. Does this sound a little bit like slavery?

"In his classic novel, 1984, George Orwell described a totalitarian society in which the government, referred to as the Party, had almost total control over the people. The supreme ruler of the Party was Big Brother. Posters announced that "Big Brother is Watching You". Telescreens droned endlessly with brainwashing propaganda about wondrous government programs. Coins, stamps, books, films, and banners proclaimed the three slogans of the Party: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength." (http://www.bigbrothergovernment.org/)

What better way to watch people than to know who they are and what they're thinking? And then send them exactly the "brainwashing propaganda" that will most appeal to them?

A BUSINESS BUILT ON TRUST

And why do people supply Mr. Zuckerberg's facebook with their information? "I don't know why." (Mark Zuckerberg cited in Nicholas Carlson, Well, These New Zuckerberg IMs Won't Help Facebook's Privacy, Business Insider, 13 May 2010)

Well, actually he did know: "They "trust me"". (Mark Zuckerberg cited in Nicholas Carlson, Well, These New Zuckerberg IMs Won't Help Facebook's Privacy, Business Insider, 13 May 2010)

And this trust is merited?

Let's check with Jewish (Why are jews so rich? Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook is billionaire at 23. I've never met a poor jew. Have you?, Yahoo Answers) businessman Zuckerberg.

According to Mr. Zuckerberg, these people who trust him are "Dumb fucks". (Mark Zuckerberg cited in Nicholas Carlson, Well, These New Zuckerberg IMs Won't Help Facebook's Privacy, Business Insider, 13 May 2010)

Jesus was a very busy man during his brief stay on this earth. He spent a lot of time training his management and sales staff, as pictured at left. One of them was busy, and had to leave the training session. (as pictured at far right)

It was Judas, the Jewish treasurer of Jesus' operation. "[14] Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
[15] And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. [16] And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him." (Matthew 26, Holy Bible)

"When the Jews arrived, Stuyvesant sought permission from Amsterdam to keep them out altogether. The Jews, he explained, were "deceitful," "very repugnant," and "hateful enemies and blasphemers of the name of Christ."" (Jonathan Sarna, American Judaism - A History, Yale University Press, 2004, p 2) "[16] And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him." (Matthew 26, Holy Bible)

You see, it was a matter of information. Jesus circulated publicly by day, but the Jewish leaders didn't want to make a scene. "And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way." (Mark 12:12, Holy Bible)

And so they had to pay thirty pieces of silver to get the information on Jesus.

With Facebook, things are different. Mr. Zuckerberg and his management team get all that information for free!! Since "They "trust me"". (Mark Zuckerberg cited in Nicholas Carlson, Well, These New Zuckerberg IMs Won't Help Facebook's Privacy, Business Insider, 13 May 2010)

And this trust is merited? The Forbrukerrådet doesn't think so. (per Marianne Siebke, Klager Facebook inn for Datatilsynet, NRK, 26 May 2010) "He asked the directors of the Dutch West India Company to "require them in a friendly way to depart" lest they "infect and trouble this new colony."" (Jonathan Sarna, American Judaism - A History, Yale University Press, 2004, p 2)

Let's check back with Mr. Zuckerberg. What does he think of all these people who trusted him? According to Mr. Zuckerberg, these people who trust him are "Dumb fucks". (Mark Zuckerberg cited in Nicholas Carlson, Well, These New Zuckerberg IMs Won't Help Facebook's Privacy, Business Insider, 13 May 2010) "The Jews, he explained, were "deceitful," "very repugnant," and "hateful enemies and blasphemers of the name of Christ."" (Jonathan Sarna, American Judaism - A History, Yale University Press, 2004, p 2)

Repugnant enough to blockade Gaza and kill 10 people bringing humanitarian aid. (Report: Israel attacks flotilla, 10 die, MSNBC, 31 May 2010)

AND SO THE KING WILL PUNISH THEM

41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat,

AND SHOT DOWN THE PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO FEED JESUS IN COLD BLOOD

I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and

BLOCKADED GAZA IS A HUGE PRISON FOR THE ARABS

in prison and you did not look after me.'
44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." (Matthew 25, Holy Bible)

Starving Gaza, ruining Iceland, the slaughter on Cyprus.

But those Christian missionaries still trust the Jews to do the right thing. (Report: Israel attacks flotilla, 10 die, MSNBC, 31 May 2010)

LIKE THEY DID IN 1585

"Back in 1585, a Jew named Joachim Gaunse served as the metallurgist and mining engineer for the ill-fated English colony on Roanoke Island. He conducted soil experiements in Carolina, returned to England a year later, and in 1589 was indicted as a Jew for blasphemy." (Jonathan Sarna, American Judaism - A History, Yale University Press, 2004, p 1)

As usual the warning signs are all there. Forbrukerrådet knows. (per Marianne Siebke, Klager Facebook inn for Datatilsynet, NRK, 26 May 2010) Facebook founder Zuckerberg knows. And says. (per Nicholas Carlson, Well, These New Zuckerberg IMs Won't Help Facebook's Privacy, Business Insider, 13 May 2010)

But can a little bit of information really be that harmful? It all depends on who you've given it to:joomla 1.5 stats

"[45] Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
[46] Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
[47] And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. [48] Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
[49] And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
[50] And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him." (Matthew 26, Holy Bible) "The Jews, he explained, were "deceitful," "very repugnant," and "hateful enemies and blasphemers of the name of Christ."" (Peter Stuyvesant cited in Jonathan Sarna, American Judaism - A History, Yale University Press, 2004, p 2)
