Can we just go back in time when marrying your brother, strangling your children, and trying to un-alive political opponents were all bad things?

In 2009, two young Iranian women were sentenced to death by hanging for one reason: they had become Christians, and they refused to deny it. Marziyeh Amirizadeh and Maryam Rostampour were born into Muslim families in Iran. After converting, they studied theology and returned home with a simple plan. Under cover of night, they put New Testaments into mailboxes across Tehran and other cities. In less than three years they distributed about 20,000 Bibles and helped start secret house churches, mostly among women and young people. Sharing the Christian faith is treated as a crime in Iran. Converts from Islam are not recognized as Christians. Only people born into recognized Christian minorities, such as Armenians and Assyrians, are officially allowed to practice. Someone reported them. In March 2009 the IRGC arrested them. Officers asked if they were Christians. They said yes. Bibles were found in their apartment. They were charged with apostasy and promoting Christianity, and a judge sentenced them to death by hanging unless they returned to Islam. They spent 259 days in Evin Prison in Tehran, a place known for torture and executions. They were interrogated for hours, threatened with hanging, and held in brutal conditions. They say they kept sharing their faith with other prisoners. They did not know that Christians outside Iran had started a campaign for their release. Amnesty International and church groups pressed the case. Pope Benedict XVI sent a letter to the Iranian government calling for them to be freed. After nine months, the regime released them. They later left Iran. Their account is told in the book ‘Captive in Iran’. The poster is right about the 20,000 Bibles and the death sentence. It leaves out that there were two of them, and that they survived. The regime tried to silence them. It failed. Iran still jails Christian converts for house-church meetings, prayer, baptism, and possessing Bibles, often under "national security" charges. The law has not changed.

In Jesus name!! Amen

The defections from the Democrat party have grown This gentleman, Omar Phoenix, takes the time to explain and tell the story of how he has switched parties President Trump was demonized by the left and he fell for it, he has become aware of the reality of their manipulation This is almost 6 min, but worth the time

This man understands what the Democrats are all about.

Attention Young Women: I am surrounded by 20ish-year-old guys who want to date and get married. They are smart, capable, hard working and cute. They're hesitant to ask girls out or don't know where to find the good ones. If you are one of the good ones, here's what you need to do. Step 1: Change your expectations about how you'll meet. You might've built a story up in your head about the first look that resembles a plot line from Gilmore Girls. It won't happen like that, and your insistence that it be instantly Instagrammable is knocking a lot of good guys out of the dating pool. Step 2: Get fit. You don't need to be a size 4, but this generation of young men is serious about stewarding their bodies and they want a woman who cares for hers. Step 3: Grow your hair out (and don't dye it blue). It may sound superficial to you, but these young men want a girl who is feminine, and long locks are an indicator that you are. Step 4: Go clean your list. You are probably too selective about who you say yes to because you evaluate a coffee offer with the seriousness of a marriage proposal. So you say "no" when he asks for your number if he's an inch too short or three years too old, or does not yet make six figures, or wants to have a farm someday or doesn't want to have a farm someday. Ditch your list. As long as he does not creep you out, if he has the guts to ask you on a date, say yes. Step 5: Sign up for any event where you know like-minded guys will be. The local Young Republicans mixer, a hiking group, a lively singles youth night at church. If you're not seeing these guys, it's because you're not situating yourself where these guys are. Change your routine. Step 6: Get a gym membership and dress modestly. That not only accomplishes step two, but it puts you in regular contact with a lot of guys who are working to better themselves. But don't set a thirst trap. Stand out by wearing workout gear that draws attention to your face, not your cleavage. Step 7: When the guy who you see every Wednesday and Friday, who has given you pointers on better form for your RDLs, asks for your number, unless you genuinely feel unsafe, give it to him. Step 8: When he calls you two days later and asks you out for coffee or dinner, say yes. Even if you don't "like" him. This matters for two reasons. 1. You are conditioning him to initiate, and that will benefit you if you date long-term, or benefit other women he asks out in the future because you conditioned him to associate the risk of asking with the reward of a "yes." Hopefully some other girl is building up your future husband's confidence by saying yes when he asks her on a coffee date. 2. You don't actually know who you like. 50% of women marry a guy where there was no initial spark. They did not know they liked him until they saw him for a few weeks or a few months. Step 9: IMPORTANT - learn to flirt. That doesn't mean licking your lips suggestively or wearing a miniskirt. It means singling him out for attention. A guy is much more likely to ask you on a date if you've signaled that you will say yes. You do that by making eye contact, smiling at him, and responding to any small "bids" for connection. Step 10: He may not get all the dating etiquette exactly right that first time. He may not show up with flowers or open the door for you. But whatever he does that is commendable, notice it and thank him for it. A woman's greatest power is not bossing and directing, it is responding to and encouraging masculine energy in the right direction through sweetness and precise validation. Don't knock a sincere guy out of the running because he didn't execute a date perfectly. On the first date, the third, the fifth, you are evaluating for worldview alignment and character. Not elaborate planning for your night out. 1/2

WOW 🚨 Texas Cattle Rancher says Texas politicians are pushing to make ALL food in Texas schools Halal to accommodate Muslims “What's happening here in Texas, they're pushing to use state funds to have only halal meat in our kids' public schools” Lara Logan says one of the reasons it’s being pushed is because it’s expensive to run 2 kitchens with 2 sets of meals for students, so making it all Halal is the goal But it goes deeper than that, she says it’s really about putting American cattle ranchers out of business and changing our supply chains “For meat to be truly halal, in theory, it should be grown by a Muslim farmer. It should be harvested by Muslims. be stored and transported by Muslims and handled only by Muslims. Then it should be, when it reaches the other side, whether it's a supermarket or a coffee shop or a grocery store or whatever it is, it should only be around other food that is halal. It shouldn't be exposed to non-halal food. It shouldn't be exposed to people handling it, preparing it, serving it who are non-Muslims — ultimately, the goal is for food to be truly halal. It needs to be only handled and exposed by Muslims from beginning to end, which means the replacement, the economic replacement of every single part of the food chain that to make it Muslim” This sounds really insane but there is actually truth to it Democratic State Rep. Suleman Lalani, a Pakistani-American and one of the first Muslim legislators in the Texas House, has repeatedly filed bills requiring public schools and open-enrollment charter schools to offer a halal food We have also heard many Muslim leaders in Texas calling for Halal to be served in every public school It sounds like there is a much deeper motive here. To completely reshape our food supply chain around Muslims which will put Americans out of business
