Every Day Is Thanksgiving Day In North Korea-By Order Of The State

Thanksgiving is fast approaching-a day every year when Americans stop to give thanks. But according to a news release from Seoul USA, in the country of North Korea, Thanksgiving to North Korea's “Eternal President” Kim Il Sung must be given at every meal, reports Jeremy Reynalds, Senior Correspondent for ASSIST News Service.

“The best wall on every house in North Korea must have well cared for photos of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il,” said Seoul USA CEO Eric Foley speaking in the news release. “At every meal families look up at the picture and pray, thank you, Father Kim Il Sung, for this food.”
While most Americans view the Hermit Kingdom as an atheist nation, Foley said in reality, it is perhaps the most religious nation on earth because one hundred percent of its citizens are required to worship Kim Il Sung. North Korea is the world's only “necrocacy” - ruled forever by its deceased eternal president.
“This is challenging to Christians who refuse to worship anyone other than God,” said Foley.
He added, “Those seen bowing their heads in prayer are considered seditious citizens and are persecuted.”
Seoul USA said overcoming this idolatry is the most pressing issue for the North Korean church. The way they've done this is to rely on four pillars: The 10 Commandments, The Lord's Prayer, The Lord's Supper, and The Apostles Creed. Each of these is a protection against idolatry, and helps them navigate through NK's state religion known as Juche.
“As Americans thank God for our blessings and prosperity this Thanksgiving, let's also consider our need to combat idolatry in our own lives,” Foley said.
He added, “We can grow stronger in this overcoming faith by learning from the example of our North Korean brothers and sisters in Christ. Reliance on the four pillars of worship is the key.”

Frankenstein and the Bible

Mary Shelley's  Frankenstein  was published in London in the early 1800's well after the Jewish legend of the Golem-creature who protected 16th century Jews in Prague Although there are some differences between the story lines, the similarities between Frankenstein and the Golem are striking: For starters, they were both big and scary with superhuman strength. Plus, they both had to be Jewish. I mean, most of my Jewish relatives have names that end in "-stein"... Goldstein, Silverstein, Frankenstein... you name it. And my own Grandma swore that my Grandpa looked like a Golem. And just to drive home my logical deductions even more, the Talmud talks about a Golem being created who couldn't communicate verbally (Sanhedrin 65B) and it seems pretty clear that Frankenstein doesn't utter any intelligible language known to man. Either that or Frankie works as a NYC subway operator. Although the Talmud may have spoke about Golems, Isaiah spoke about "wearying"

The bizarre list of charges were a shock for members of Im’s Contra Costa Korean Presbyterian Church. The youth pastor announced his resignation on Sunday, but didn’t explain why he was leaving. He told the police that he was the founder of The Living Well Ministries, a Christian non-profit that allegedly helped widows, homeless, and orphans.But he apparently never brought these high-minded goals home.
