American killed by tribemen in Indian islands

[euphemia]

This is not really a story that has any parallels to politics. This is a primitive tribe that survived the 2004 tsunami. There are supposedly between 50-200 people on the island. They have had some contact with the outside world. I think looking at a tribe that lives a primitive life through a 2018 lens is the wrong thing to do. And I think protecting them from the outside world is not necessarily the way to go. There is a penalty for visiting there without permission. They obviously know there are such things as power boats, airplanes, and helicopters. They go all around the island. And they know there are other people in the world, because certain expeditions have visited there.

Nobody has ever communicated with them because their language is spoken, not written, and nobody has ever lived there long enough to work it out and write it down.

This man died for what he believed in, his faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God. Back when men were men before keyboard warriors, they called that true courage. Some of his last words:

"My name is John, I love you and Jesus loves you."

Lord, is this island Satan's last stronghold where none have heard or even had the chance to hear your name?"

"The eternal lives of this tribe is at hand",

"You guys might think I’m crazy in all this but I think it's worthwhile to declare Jesus to these people. Please do not be angry at them or at God if I get killed ...Don’t retrieve my body."

“God, I don’t want to die.”

And also commanded to "do to others what you would have them do to you". Which I think would include not pestering people when your presence clearly isn't welcome.

I'm more in the "Let's not presume to know what God wants you to do" school. Deus vult smacks a little too much of arrogance and self-importance IMO.

So Jesus should have ran away, instead of being Crucified? All martyrs do it to themselves in other words?

Only he and GOD know whether he was foolish or was prompted by the spirit to make the attempt, the rest of us should respect his willingness to die for his beliefs and desire to help others.

Even if it is an Invader disrespecting your sovereignty?

It sounds like Coastal defense to me.

Sounds like people working on criticisms of their neighbors.

I don't especially like my neighbor; but I don't plan to off him.

Apr 3, 2017

Why not just leave these people alone?

Rare footage of one of the world’s last uncontacted tribes has emerged, showing its members on the beaches of North Sentinel island in the Bay of Bengal.

The footage is part of a documentary by LoveBite Productions on the Sentinelese tribe. The narrator states that the people and their ancestors are thought to have inhabited the island for nearly 60,000 years.

“Working on this project, reading about them, watching all these videos, brought tears to my eyes,” the narrator...
