“We need to pray for them, that they may find freedom in this brief window of time.”

Pyongyang used to be called the Jerusalem of Korea, because it had so many churches.

The mother of Kim Il-Sung (the founder of the dynasty and the “Great Leader”) was a Christian, and he knew several Christian hymns, which he used to hear as a boy.

You never know what may happen...

They dont because their entire families will be executed if they do that.

You're right. I know.

I just wish we could find a way to get rid of totalitarianism, communism, fascism, everything with an -ism at the end.

Democracy; a Republic, sounds so much better.

I think humanity is improving, but it is such a long road.

Really? :)

You know what? You are right. With Christ, all things are possible.

We need to pray for the athletes and for the country.

Thank you! :)

These people don’t exist in a vacuum. They have families who are still in North Korea.

They only let in Nazis.

I just had to smile at that ... :)

I've been watching documentaries about the Nazis and reading about the World Wars.

Take care, FRiend. :)

I understand.

Please see my previous posts. It is a terrible situation.

If I were one of those athletes, and I had family back home, I would never put them in danger by leaving.

The world is a messed-up place. It needs our prayers.

They probably figured they were spook phones capable of all kinds of neat things.

I do too. In terms of wishing to get away from it. Bowever I do not believe humanity is improving. I guess it depends on what you are defining as improving.

Still, it beats the hell out of being executed with an anti-aircraft gun.

I agree, I don’t think humanity is improving at all.

I hope the Nork weightlifter that won gold at least licked the medal. That’ll be the last “taste” they’ll ever have of their winnings...
