Lutsk is less than 2 hours from Lviv.
Even if evangelical, why would an evangelical be persecuted for that in
Western Ukraine?

This guy report not similar to the npr one

Had a good night’s sleep and ready to see God working in the last few days
I have left in Ukraine.
We picked up some candies and headed for a sanatorium where children are
sent for 28 days to recover from a multitude of illnesses in the foothills
with fresh air. We have been there many times but the only thing that would
hinder our travel is the last 40 or so kms of road.

The remedy for false assertions and “fake news”: statements under oath.


Assertions and the ‘assert’ keyword are things that should seem familiar to you. You use the assert keyword in your unit tests.
assert x == 1, "X should equal 1"
In Python, the above assertion implements the following behavior: it checks to see if the variable one equals the number 1. —the skeptical methodologist

I met the most Faulknerian family in the heart of Faulkner territory. The head of the household introduced himself, demanding to know not just my passer through first name but also my middle and last name. His arrogance, no doubt related at least in part to the fact that some obscure county in Mississippi bears his ancestors name, amused and irritated me. I told him he could neither pronounce or remember my middle or last name and that he should make do with my first name. He wears a french collar shirt and dress pants - usually pinstripe - all day all the time. But he has to gum his food because he lost his teeth as well as his mind. In spite of the mental sclerosis, he remains remarkably vain. He wears a long white apron at all times in order to ensure his sartorial splendor at all times.
But the edentulous mouth somehow weirdly doesn't matter when all is said and slurped, as all he can eat is blenderized food.
He spent a half hour telling me about his long forgotten brothers sadly woefully describing their acts of heroism during the second world war. But he couldn't remember a single important current life issue, as his house was filled to the brim with decaying newspaper and magazine articles. None of which would provide information that could be used in the current decade. What was worse was the almost ten years of income and resources documents that showed conclusively that he had not managed his credit cards in a long time, those having been recently cancelled. Similarly, the IRS bills showed similar disarray and notices of frozen bank accounts. And yet, he could find time to remind me that the South would rie again




We all know the type of American executive or professional man who does not allow himself to age, but by what appears to be almost sheer will keeps himself “well-preserved,” as if in creosote. … The will which burns within him, while often admirable, cannot be said to be truly “his”: it is compulsive; he has no control over it, but it controls him. He appears to exist in a psychological deep-freeze; new experience cannot get at him, but rather he fulfills himself by carrying out ever-renewed tasks which are given by his environment: he is borne along on the tide of cultural agendas.—
