Boots Xmas Advert 2024

Far-Right Hypocrisy and [2024] Boots Xmas Advert! (30.11.2024)

The typical (Christian) Monastic Rule states that on the day of the birth of Jesus Christ (Christmas Day), the monks, nuns and lay-observants (oblates), are solemn, humble, conscientious, profoundly aware, and committed to the structures of the Rule they follow. The interesting thing, however, is that the day of Christ’s birth is no more – and no less – significant than any other of the 364 days that exist throughout the year within the monastic cycle. Yes – various holy days (including Christmas Day) attract specific sermons and rituals – but these are inserted into the general daily framework of the Monastic Rule itself. Extra-food and extra-drink (outside of that already permitted by the Rule) is not allowed. A break from the daily round of monastic duty (outside the Rule) is not allowed. Finally, as the monastics and lay-observants own “nothing” (not even their robes) – there is never any giving of gifts (private property is not permitted under the Rule).

After coming to her senses, Guo Guo said, “I can no longer believe in a false cult that uses the (foreign) Christian ‘God’ to deceive and induce believers to abandon their homes and careers, and then abandons these supposed converts after sexually abusing them!” Recalling that she was used as a pawn by the “Almighty God” in South Korea and filmed poetry, dance and other videos, Guo Guo felt deeply guilty. She was afraid that too many people would watch these misleading videos and then fall into the “Almighty God” cult. She was willing to share her experience to sound the alarm for all brothers and sisters who have fallen into the “Almighty God” cult and are deeply trapped in it.

Palestine: US-Sponsored (Zionist) War Machine Suffering Huge Losses! (16.11.2023)
