I went to Vietnam a couple times. If you hang out downtown in the city, you might get a random Jehovah's Witness or Seventh Day Adventist* try to chat you up. "Oh, we can't do missionary work out in the open, so we just do one-on-one conversations like this". Despite the lack of "Jesus saves, die sinner" signs in Hanoi, you can definitely find Catholic and Protestant churches in Vietnam.

The Western press likes to piss and moan about settler nation missionaries that go, without proper visas mind you, to spread their Western versions of Christianity to the DPRK, only to get deported. So am I allowed to enter a white people country without a visa to stir up trouble and expect no consequences???

I'm the furthest thing from an expert on Myanmar. I get everything I know from Burmese friends. But if you look into the minority people situation, many of them are being heavily proselytised by the worst of the Amerikan type. I don't want the Pat Robertson's the world anywhere near struggling people.

*I'm definitely not saying that JWs and SDAs are anywhere near the worst as Christian sects go.

We are now aiming at -1 degree Celsius by 2030 due this post.

bad takeI am only half serious with this. There is a lot of debate around the Cultural Revolution and even the CPC's consensus is that it went too far.

Meanwhile we have characters like Baba Ramdev at home and I am thinking perhaps it could have been executed better but the consequences of it never happening seem much worse.

JW's are def among the worst sects! The whole structure of the cult is designed to abuse people.

Is this considered a hot take??? These sorts of laws against proselytising always seemed extremely cool to me, and finding out that they existed was awesome.

Cultural revolution against kkkhristianity when?

Considering we’ve been dealing with seven or eight different major attempts at seizing control of the country on the televangelists’ behalf, not a bad call at all

I work as a Jewish missionary and the funny thing is that my job would handle the exact same way in a people’s republic as it would elsewhere.

Is the Jewish missionary thing a joke? I thought that Jewish people don't proselytise.
