    I celebrated my 40th birthday in Vanuatu. The people there are warm and very friendly. They have the most beautiful lagoons, crystal clear and aqua blue. I didn’t know that the pig was so worshipped until the accommodation I stayed in gifted me with a black wooden pig 🐖. I still have him at home displayed. It’s interesting to see how each country worships different animals. Good to see the pig loved and worshipped. Interesting Vanuatu 🇻🇺, urgently needs to renovate their international airport. It’s so old, dark and outdated you feel like you are in the 70’s still. This would be a great lift for their economy. I did also noticed too that there are many whites that run business, not the locals. The local supermarkets are run by the Chinese oddly. The locals only sell their food and veggies at the markets. In Port Villa you will see containers left abandoned every block, really sad to see. That need a huge clean up. Then in town they have their local prison. You can walk pass this building, just like another building. I did try Kava for the first time in my life. For 10-15 minutes I was just so happy and numb. Then straight away the feeling went away and I was back to normal. It was a weird sensation. Not sure if I will try it again. It’s not a pleasant taste, like drinking bitter mud! The Government of Vanuatu 🇻🇺 needs to build its country up better and maintain these Beautiful traditions. Bless the pigs 🐖🐷🐷🐷🐷.

    This should pave the way for united-statians africans to do the same and re-learn a culture close to their roots. I am sure they would eventually be happy to live in this exact way, this is the life that fits them and their ancestry. They should be trained by Vanuatu tribes and follow a class to learn the Vanuatu culture so close to their own ancestors jungle culture. Then after their apprentice ship in New Guinea they shall all move to africa and enjoy this life that was really meant for them, they will feel in the right place and happy in a culture that is 100% theirs.

    2 First of all, I would like to make some clarifications again. When an assembly has followed a false doctrine, all its members are also guilty, because they should have asked the preacher where it is written. The twelve months without coming to the service according to Kacou 146:70, does not apply to old people or to certain cases of health. And a Brother can eat with a Sister on the same plate if they are relatives or spouses.

    Firstly, it really annoys me that you have do modesty blurring of bottoms and breasts just in case it offends someone. We all have bottoms and then relevant genitals. I’m sure there are no great surprises and if you don’t like the way these people dress or don’t dress, don’t watch the film or go visit them.
    Secondly, I find it hard to believe that even in this day and age, after countless wars trying to take another nations lands and all the religious crusades and wars that we human beings still have not learnt to butt out of others beliefs and traditions instead of forcing our beliefs on them. This is exactly why there will always be racism, homophobia and every other prejudice, because everyone thinks they are right so everyone else should follow them.
    Personally I think the way of life of all tribes is so much better than western world. They don’t contribute to ruining planet. They don’t over tax foo resources, they don’t value money or things and they truly stand together and support themselves.

    The pig is actually the humans, which in turn is a deity/ancestor. The pig is no different as Varanhu, the pig god of the Hindus. I think it was in Malaysia that an over 40 000 year old pig rock painting was discovered. The pig is actually an interesting combination of the Orion Man and the celestial earth/garden. The Orion man is part of the Orion constellation. The round tusks are symbolic of two important star clusters at the southern sky region. Hindu women wear rings on their noses, these rings are also symbolic of these star clusters. The making of the golden calf by the Israelites out of earrings is also symbolic of the same star clusters.

You were born alone and be aware that one day, you will die alone and also, you will go to judgment before God alone. Neither your father nor an pastor , or anyone else will answer for you. But God who is just will send a prophet in your lifetime, to show you the way to heaven, just as before you, He also sent prophets to show the way to heaven to generations before you.

    20 Either you are a Christian and you follow the prophet that the Lord Jesus-Christ has sent in your time or you remain home. You cannot be a Christian today unless you are a disciple of Kacou Philippe, the prophet that God has sent for your time. [Ed: The congregation says, Amen!]. As at the time of Noah, you could not be a Christian unless you were a disciple of Noah the prophet that God had sent for your time. You see? Stop to be Catholics, Protestants, evangelicals and Branhamists. Stop to follow the devil and come to God through His living prophet. Because John 6:28 says that the work of God is to believe in him whom He has sent. [Kc.88v14]
