The tribemen must have been Republicans. Had they been Democrats there would have been bow control laws, so they wouldn't have been armed. So there is a bright side.

Worse than that they don't even know how to use money. How are they going to pay taxes?

98% of missionary slayings occur in bow-free zones.

Laughing at the expense of a young missionary who lost his life, what a disgusting place this has become at times.

How can India allow such tribes to be legal when H1-B visas want U. S citizenship from 10 years jobs/working in USA ??
U.S President is the leader of the free world.
The guy did Darwin himself, and you have to be pretty self-absorbed to attempt what he did. These people are left alone for a reason, namely that they have made it very clear that they want to be left alone. If he had respected their wishes instead of putting his own wishes first, he wouldn't be dead.

Christians are commanded by Christ to go forth and spread the gospel.
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.

Oh, I'm not arguing the point one way or the other.
Just saying, it is what Christ himself told Christians to do.
And they have a long history of being killed for doing it. Hopefully this young man was aware of that.
And he (Christ) said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." Mark 16: 15-16
U.S President is the leader of the free world.
Nobody actually saw this guy get shot with arrows . Those islands are illegal to visit , probably a set up by some developer that wants it to build a hotel on .
I would say he was a very brave young man . I could have used him around here .

I don't care about the guy one way or another. What pisses me off is the double standard. What do you think would happen if you put a "No Trespassing" sign up on your property, then shot a Jehovah's Witness and buried him at edge of your property line?
I would side with you, but we both know the masses of people chortling over this guy's naivety would not hesitate to condemn you as a murderer.
I am pissed, I guess, that these fuckers are allowed to live free and I am not.

The guy wasn't naive. He knew what he was getting into. According to an account I read, he went to the island on the 15th got shot with arrows, they smashed his canoe and had to swim back to the fisherman's boat. What does he do the next day? Goes back.
He wrote a letter to his parents saying if he died, not to think he was crazy or be mad at the tribe but he felt like he needed to share the Gospel with them. I actually posted an article on this tribe a year or so ago. If I know about them and know not to go near their island, I suspect this fellow knew the risks, as well.
As far as the JW analogy goes, I wouldn't have a problem with someone shooting them - especially if they were given a warning, a warning shot, and if the homeowner had a checkered history with trespassers. Apparently, the British colonized the island at one point killed almost all the natives and the Indian government has laws against disturbing them because they have no immunity to modern disease. That Christian could've spread a lot more than the Gospel to those people but I guess he figured he was it was worth it. It's a shame the young man lost his life but damn...
Hopefully, they are left alone because I saw a headline saying some Christian group is calling for justice to be served on the tribe. I didn't read the article. Could be fake news but who knows in this crazy world.
I'm not pissed but I am jealous. I'd love to have an island I could defend with spears and bow and arrows.

Christians are not a protected species. However, if this had been a journalist, the story we are hearing would have a much different tone.

By the people on this forum? Or in the media?
Personally, I haven't noticed the MSM being hard on the man but I'm sure it's out there.
IMO, it was a dumb thing to do if you're a preacher or a journalist.
I was just sitting here thinking about how I'd feel if that preacher had shown up at my house with a soccer ball, a fish, and a Bible and then I thought about how I'd feel about a journalist showing up to my house. I'd definitely be meaner to the journalist. I do not want to end up on the 6 o'clock news. Plus, Mr A hates journalists. He'd yell at them to leave. When church people show up, he turns off the tv and hides.
