LINK Pastor Says He Faces Criminal Charges for Sending Bible Balloons to North Korea | Beth Stoneburner | Friendly Atheist | Patheos
In 2015, we first posted about a Christian group called The Voice of the Martyrs — the website is at Persecution.com — because its leader was trying to “help” citizens of North Korea by dropping Bibles inside the country via balloons… even though a citizen caught with a Bible could be literally killed for it.
No doubt those citizens suffer actual persecution. But giving them bibles was bound to do more harm than good.
Now the leader of that organization faces legal charges for what he’s doing.
Rev. Dr. Eric Foley said last month that the South Korean government may arrest him on three charges, all of which have to do with exacerbating tensions between the two nations.

The folly of Foley.
Why was he sending Buy Bulls instead of Core Anns?

Wah fucker. Different countries have different rules. These fuckwads think being an Merikan is all supreme. And yes, some poor farmer even picking a bible out of his field could have himself and his parents and his kids thrown into internment camps - 3 generation punishment enforced there.

Japan and all those within reach of modern weapons simply need to adopt defenses and diplomacies to help protect themselves and we all need to have less, or nothing, to do with economically supporting such a regime as NK. That's all that can be achieved so all this nonsense about trying to contain NK is pure rot. Humans. We complicate everything. Maybe we should put equal time into promoting peace and love so the entire problem becomes moot?
