Considering China uses it as a weapon against the USA and spreading "Genocide Joe" memes I'm actually 50/50 torn on a ban.
Hubby's new hobby is trying to perfect his butterscotch cookies. I highly approve of this endeavor.
My mom showed me a video with a deeper explanation of what's going on, and the purpose behind all of this is actually not to ban TikTok, it's to try to get ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns it, to sell it to a company not connected to an enemy country. They have six months to sell before they actually ban it.
According to the video they are a lot more hands on with the content than thought, so I can see why it could be a problem.
The lack of monitoring and the data changing hands is exactly why there is no TikTok allowed in my house.
Don't trust the CCP, and don't trust the use of the app. Barely trust some other apps.

Well it's as bad from the other side with Instagram and Facebook only those are looked at by the likes of alphabet agencies "waves hi"
I made a conscious decision near the end of last year to remove facebook and instagram from my life and I stuck with it and did it. Things in life feel so much better now.
So yesterday my steph cousin was born, he has the name of Isaac. My Christian grandfather asked if he would be baptised, I said he wouldn't because he's born in a Muslim family.
And then my grandfather asked me out af the bleu is I still remembered The Lord's prayer or a Hail Mary, I remembered The Lord's prayer but I didn't remember a Hail Mary so I googled it, when said both to him he said: "well done, you can still go to heaven" bless his heart

Thank God for that
I turn 54 in two months, but it was not until my stepmother's funeral - three years ago - that I learned Catholics don't say all of the Lord's Prayer. I swear I'm not making that up.
(The reason it took that long is 'cos my dad and I are Lutheran, but my stepmom cane from a Catholic family.)
Anyhoo, when Catholics say it, they stop at "deliver us from evil". They don't say the part about "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever, Amen."
It's not a doctrinal issue, it's just that the part somehow got left out when the Bible was translated into Latin.

Yes, it depends on which manuscript was used for the translation. My dad was raised Catholic and I learned some from him, plus going to Mass and Orthodox services with friends in college.
While I prefer different translations now in my studies I still have a soft spot for New King James.
I don't know if what I know is correct so please take this with a grain of salt. So there's Jacob and his multicoloured coat, which is mis translated. It's actually a long robe with sleeves, but the translator didn't fully comprehend the original text.
He knew it was about a robe, and that the robe was special. So instead of giving him a black or purple robe to signify how important it was he decided it was going to be multicoloured to show how special Jacob was

Hell, that's nothing. We Jews only use half of the Bible!
Hell, that's nothing. We Jews only use half of the Bible!
Would that be the first half?
About three-quarters of it, actually. The Old Testament is considerably longer than the New Testament.Hell, that's nothing. We Jews only use half of the Bible!
I will never understand antisemitism, we literally share the Old Testament! And yet people hate Jews because they killed Jesus or something. While it's actually the Romans, and Jesus was a Jew!
I also don't understand Islamphobia: like the bible and the Torah it has Adam and Eve, Jesus, Abraham (Ibrahim in the quran) and Noah among others.
Did anyone actually bothered read any of those books and compare them? Because they're similar, and I can't believe we spend so many centuries killing each other because of those books

It was a small group of Jewish religious leaders, who saw Jesus as a threat to their jobs, who masterminded the act. They set up His arrest, they created the mob, etc. The Roman criminal justice system was simply their chosen murder weapon. Under Roman rule, they were not allowed to execute people themselves.
The Jews as a people were innocent. Indeed, Jesus was a practicing Jew all of His life.
Humanity in a nutshell.
YHWH gives Moses the law and while that is happening the Israelites build an idol. Humans struggle with being short sighted and stupid.
Indeed, yes, though they did say, "let His blood be on us and on our children."
It's Joseph and I'll have to grab my Hebrew Torah. One translated it better as "ornamented," and possibly multi-paneled rather than one piece, and the panels were longitudinal based upon Egyptian frescos.
And on to my random thoughts:
"In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.”. ( 1929-1945)From the Diary of Ann Frank

That's like Jesus being described as a carpenter (which actually occurs only twice in the Gospels). Wood has always been a scarce building material in the Middle East. It's more likely that Jesus' trade was that of a stonemason.
