“Isolated” generally means “have no immunity to the various diseases circulating around the modern world”.

This guy would likely have killed them all off if they had welcomed him.

This happened in 2018 = 5 years ago

We discussed it ad nauseum then on FR, why are you posting it now again?

This was published yesterday. That’s probably why.

Where is Sentinel Island?

I see a lot of people here post items that have been previously posted and then comments that the “search function still works”. Does it work well? I have anecdotally tried to search things from time to time without much success. Thoughts?
Perhaps I am doing my searches wrong?

They’ve been visited by a few groups since the late 1700s.

Various gifts were left in their possession; often left on shore.

At least a couple of them did die after meeting foreigners.

And yes, a few people who did try to visit them did not survive first contact.

It’s east of India. From a map, it looks to be roughly 2/3 of the distance to Myanmar.

A Christian dies, a martyr is born. He had the courage to come off the mountain. I need that courage.

Reposting this, regardless of the MSM necro posting their own articles is only helping the media insult and denigrate Christianity.

Which is likely the entire reason for the MSM dredging this up again, to continue bashing “ignorant Christians.” let’s not help the enemy spread their propaganda.

The search function here absolutely sucks despite them pretending otherwise.

It’s an old joke. A masochist and a sadist are walking down the street together. The masochist says ‘hit me,’ and the sadist says, ‘No, I won’t.’

In this case the sadist said, “I would gladly love to kill you if you show up on my island!”

Aside from the other views expressed so far on this thread, I find it interesting that the descriptive, "Christian," is so problematic in terms of the story. What sort of Christian? That's a fine starting point.

Catholic? Orthodox? Protestant? What sort of Protestant? The article gives no information, other than the appearance that "John" was busy with repeatedly documenting his attempts by photos and messages.

But as to the message? We know that schisms are occurring all across Christendom as I type, with whole denominations breaking in two or more over competing messages and all, according to their own views, are about "Jesus."

I come to think that this "John" had as his goal not evangelizing so much as exhibiting his own documented ego involvement in evangelizing. There is a difference. It is a sad story, no matter how one reads it.

Best wishes.

Jesus told us to be wise in our evangalism. He might have packed a gun so to escape the sticky situation and flee to evangelize another day.

You can sort of use search to make sure you don’t post a duplicate item by searching on one unique term in the headline. That kind of works. Otherwise, the FR search is pretty useless. For general searching on FR, I use the normal search engines (Brave and DDG for me, Google is a last resort) with the site search tag site:Freerepublic.com at the end of the search string.
