Personal Evangelism

Assignment:

In your opinion and based on your reading and study, what are some of the key do's and do-not's of working with children?

My Work:

Resources for Children

The Start of My Understanding of Life

When I was about 3, I remember being in a religious or educational office and seeing a model of a baby in a womb, and I knew it was a fresh generation of kids who were cuter and fresher than mine.  It seemed like my life went down the drain.  Later on, I remember [omitted] flirting with [omitted] but with me being more impersonal, but I took it personally though do not believe it was anything to do with a difference of race than flat out prejudice, "out with the old and in with the new."  I think this was a beautiful experience and way of learning about life.  I would teach my children about sex in a good way since it's not the 1980s.

My First Religious Experience

My first memory of religion that made a lasting impression was the preschool teachers somehow acting like I would do what Jesus did someday, dying on a cross, if I was worth anything, like we all do it.  I was 3.  I told my family, and the preschool teacher acted all stuck up like she said she "hears through walls" and I juggled that thought.  No one cared I was scared and on the inside was feeling bad.  I guess I had to "put up with it," in addition to "solving my own problems."  I've told people to impress them but did not get much of a response, like they were unimpressed.  I saw on TV this year that in the old days Central Florida crucified a bunch of African Americans.  I would not recommend repeating this wayward experience.

School and Music

One of the biggest things in humanity is the creation of maybe more advanced school and music for the purpose of Christianity.  It still fascinates me.  A lot of art for people is religious, too.  I recommend this miracle.  I wanted to be a singer when I was 7, and my aunt gave me some Wee Sing books and tapes.  My mom always played them in the car, including when we went to pick up my dad from work.  I knew them all well.  One was religious.  A lot of people my age go all ditzy when they think of songs like, "Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the Lord, red and yellow, black and white..."  The Protestant church seems to have the best overall quality of literature, like those things we read in high school.  I liked the picture books and special Bibles for children.  The art was good, and I wanted to see which one I wanted to be.  I recommend doing things like this growing up.

Purity

Children have been acclaimed for their pure love, at least for Caucasians or Aryans etc.  It's like they're little angels, sweet and innocent, and people wonder about what could go wrong.  The text says we deserve death if we are not seen as 100% perfect, like if we accidentally do something.  Children need to know about how people discriminate this way.  Though the text says we die for sin, we are saved by Jesus.  Children like to talk a lot.  Sometimes, that's considered bad, and sometimes it's considered attractive! the same thing can be considered a life sin for some children and something that attracts people for other children.  I recommend that we remember about children in our lives, that children are special and we want everything to go a certain way.  Protestants sound good with religion.  My mom got down and did religion with me at home, too.

"Do's and Don't's"

Public Schools

We should not put children in religious schools necessarily because public schools are more like the real world and are more comfortable.  Though, traditionally, they looked down on you in Bible school for knowing you went to a public school, even if it was for money reasons.  Most Catholic schools are a waste in that they let the kids talk out of turn and don't teach well...

Traditions

- We should maybe try some of the rosary rather than doing it all in one sitting.  I did that at my church, and they seemed prejudiced and racist, a few years ago.

- Sure, we remember Jesus in the winter for Christmas and into the New Year.  Advent is a good opportunity to be religious, singing Christmas songs that include religious ones.  I recommend some children's religious songs, too.  I didn't get to perform it much on stage, but it's fun for the normal kids.

- We could discuss our favorite saints or verses in the Bible, but kids usually get interested in that themselves.

General Psychology

Mixed Race

I disagree that the book does not address mixed race and notice they avoid important values and processes that are important to mixed race.  One reason it is important is because the US seems to mostly have mixed race and it's the leading world power or used to be.  Scientists could try to "fix" mixed race babies with their technology from stem cell research.  What if we were all striving to be twins?  Twins strive to be different.  People parent different races differently, even mixed race families.  All humans adapt, and so that is also involved.  Evolution is always a possiblity.  Who knows how long it takes, in different ways, too?  People survive by natural selection, and people find mixed race people to be cleaned out, it sees.  Babies do have something with their mom but warm up to strangers after the newborn/infantile stage.  People like to mate different kinds of people, like if they want someone "tall, dark, and handsome" or "dumb and blonde."  People can't tap into the resources that other cultures possess, and it gets in the way of mixed race people.  For instance, rats can get smarter living in a maze.  We share genes, still, over the fascination with chimps possibly sharing a lot with humans more than prettier animals.  Chimps look like the opposite of the human ideal but still are fascination as gorillas, for example, or like walruses or sea manatees.  Gender differences pervade, but it may somewhat be cultural.  People are better off getting a social workout than being "alone in a crowd."  Sometimes, dark cultures have fair people, too, fairer even than some Northern Europeans.  We take time to mature and therefore need to have a chance to play to our strengths.  We mature in different ways.  Some people are diagnosed with mental disorders, and mixed race was the poster image for this.  Also, learning to feel good before puberty and then the following adolescence might be a way to be okay.  It would be interesting to see what other races feel, like how other animals feel.  We become adults and people start to discriminate unassuming people of mixed race, which could mean even Sourthern Europeans.  We age in different ways, too.  The Bible says, “You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material." Leviticus 19:19.  Even the Bible needs more explaining.  Maybe, everything in it isn't true, and it also says, "No one born of a forbidden union may enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of his descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord." Deuteronomy 23:2.  Jesus changed the Old Testament arleady for us.  However, we also know we do not marry into the throne in the US.  We are allowed to marry who we want, but every race seems to have a problem and not match if it isn't white and Caucasian.  A lot of the US is probably becoming more mixed.  Southern Europeans are racist because they are upset they are a second separate race from Northern and Middle Europeans.  They try to exclude other races that are not all white and Caucasian, even if you used to be treated well.  People went ahead in fear and accepted Southern Europeans over Asians.  The Middle East has been labeled Caucasian, too, now.  It might be where all or most cultures come from, other than "black" African cultures.  Even Native American indians who either have European or Asian are accepted, and they are part Australoid I heard.  I also heard Polynesians and other islands probably are Asian and Australoid, and Indonesians are all Asian, Taiwanese.  It is hard to find for sure how old Europe is, other than at Wikipedia, and I've heard more than one thing.  The textbook probably does not see mixed race as an issue.  They act like it is going to come up eventually, but, like I've been explaining here, people usually don't make the best of it.  It's interesting half black half white people have such fair hair sometimes. Half Asians, however, usually possess strong Asian features to different amounts, sometimes look all Asian maybe.  Mixed Asians might be left out socially, in ways full Asians aren't.  People are probably stuck with why they don't accept mixed Asians like other mixed races.  I personally admire people mixed with more than one non-European race.  They often look more white, I think, than other mixes.  Mixed race, therefore, is not a sin.  The book hints at mixed race being important subconsciously.  People often say someting is racist if there are no African Americans in a movie or something, though.  Maybe, they need to talk about it with a psychologist/counselor.  One freedom people do not have is to be free racially somethow, but people can be racist and get away with it and things like threatening their well-being culturally in the US or Middle and Northern Europe.  I've seen dark non-Europeans get upset at whites/Europeans, usually African Americans, not so much bad from Middle Easterners, save for the militial concentration hovering there from the US while I was growing up and knew about as a preteen, onto adulthood.  The Bible also does not find it very important, maybe something exciting to play with.  I know Jewish people are strict on marriage, like from The Fiddler on the Roof.  So, mixed race is an even touchier topic than racism, as no one gives a care what happens to them.  It's always about pure non-white/Caucasian races when racism becomes important, but it becomes important for other people to make fun of mixed race people or bump them off if they are not perfect, like if they are a little sad or a little overweight or something.  It's too bad.  There is a forum called Stormfront that is a good outlet for people who care about how white they are.  Mixed race just never seems to come up.  It's hard on South Asians who look whiter than North Asians but maybe not as old of a culture.  If the textbook knew it was hard on mixed white / South Asians, it might make more sense.  So, who is the racial outcast?  Native American indians and Polynesians or mixed white South Asians?
