3+ hour, 58+ min ago (1873+ words) Many Christian Evangelical churches in the U.S. today have lost their way, and are not following the True Way, which is the narrow and lonely path that leads us to Jesus Christ and the Gospel message of salvation. However, I believe that there are still many good people and faithful believers within these Evangelical churches, and have not yet matured enough in their faith to understand all the false ways yet that their church is leading them down. I used to belong to and participate in Evangelical churches when I was younger, but when I began to learn the truth about pharmaceutical products and vaccines, as well as the influence of Zionism and then tried to educate others, I was no longer welcome in these institutions. So I have been "unchurched" for a couple of decades now, and I am happy…...

4+ hour, 3+ min ago (1628+ words) There is a disturbing contrast along South Africa's remote west coast. The 800km (500 mile)-journey north from Cape Town starts with views of outstanding natural beauty which as the long road rolls on, and the northern border approaches, dissolve into a pockmarked lunar-like landscape. And the scars left by a lucrative diamond-mining industry are not just physical. The impoverished local Nama community living amid the environmental degradation in the far north-west of South Africa " also known as Namaqualand - wonder what has happened to the riches their land has yielded. Some of the hundreds of millions earned went on to build the country, but not much, it seems, stayed within the area. The Nama, who straddle South Africa and Namibia, are descended from the indigenous nomadic peoples " the Khoi and the San " seen as the original human inhabitants of this part of…...

After being put under pressure in the previous game, the hosts responded with discipline and clarity, dominating both innings of the game. Winning the toss, India opted to bowl first, a decision that helped their seamers exploit the conditions to dismantle South Africa's batting lineup. South Africa never recovered from a shaky start. India's new-ball pair of Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana found movement through the air and off the surface, exposing technical frailties in the visiting top order. Wickets fell regularly, preventing South Africa from building any momentum or meaningful partnerships. Captain Aiden Markram was the lone bright spot in an otherwise forgettable innings. Showing composure amid the collapse, he anchored the…...
