a disappearance of convenience, no?
eaten by a giant catfish?
I’ve seen a video of the bodies floating in this river. I wouldn’t go near it, let alone jump in.
Never pays to get too dancy near rivers.
I would have to think twice about eating in a restaurant run by someone who had been swimming in the Ganges.
probably crushed by a giant floating hindu turd
how in the world did she fall in?!!!
What you said, it’s unbelieveably vile.
No attention will be made to another floating body in that river. I have seen photos of birds that landed on the floating body and pecking away.
I’ve never had Ganges and don’t want it again.
Just as a sort of counterpoint, I’ve personally bathed in the Ganges and suffered no ill effects whatever.
Felt pretty good, actually.
I’ve been on a boat ride on that river. I didn’t see any bodies in it, but they were cremating dozens of bodies at dusk along the banks of the river. Then they throw the ashes into that river.
In India, it will kill you.
Having lived there in the slums (and going back in a month) I can say that MOST of the rivers there are polluted beyond your ability to comprehend. One river in Chennai is so polluted that the water is ink-black with methane bubbles and the smell of it even at half a kilometer away will cause you to instantaneously vomit.
Many rivers in India look like an end-loader carved out a creek in a landfill and flooded it with old used motor oil. And on the banks you will see the Dalit and poor bathing and washing clothes in that filth.
Here is a river near the city of Kakinada:
Never understood the attraction of going to India.
Millions upon millions who never heard the Name of Jesus Christ - at least for me it is.
I knew a (then) young man about 30 years ago. He was a bright student of philosophy who decided that his dissertation would center on Eastern Religions.
He decided on going to India to meet and study with those he considered to be enlightened masters for a year or two. Imagine my surprise when I saw him at a cocktail party just three months after his departure.
So I asked the obvious question: "Why are you back so soon?"
The reply? "I never in my wildest dreams imagined filth of that magnitude."
He has since worked as an accountant.
Never understood the attraction of going to India.

Or any other flies-on-your-face country.
I pray for your mission and I thank God for such as you who do these things that I admit I’m not strong enough to handle.
In Jesus’ Holy Name I pray that The Holy Spirit protect you.
