The Nightmare of Whatsapp

By

How I wish I had not put my personal contacts on my apps. Now I get lots of blank or unclear emails. Some people can even send the same message on SMS, Whatsapp and email. There was one who emailed me on my three emails and since I have turned on forwarding on them the thing sort of looped and I got six emails instead of three which was supposed to be one.

On phone someone texts and before I respond he has already started calling. So sometimes when am in town or in the house washing or cooking i can fail to hear my phone ringing. when I check moments later I have to sort out the smses and missed calls.

Now that is nothing compared to Whatsapp which has been a good communication device to for a very long time now. However the way some people calling themselves christians behave on it is enough to drive someone crazy. While some are stubbon, others are mischevious. You are in a group and you switch off data only to come back 12 hours later and find loads of chunks of texts like 300 from a single group.

Others out of the blues, create groups and start adding you there and you thrown a state of confusion wondering where you are because you hardly know the members of the group let alone even the creator.

I know the mistake is mine for being a victim of these plus texts from personal accounts. Oh yes I gets lots of personal texts on Whatsapp, some of them bible scriptures, encouragements, stories, jokes, videos and quotes from the prophet of our age: Bro Branham. Who would feel offended with such generosity from christians, friends and strangers everyday. I know you would say am crazy when I complain but you dont know my story.

When I started using Whatsapp in 2014 it was cool. Even in 2015 it was cool getting texts from strangers. But now in 2017 Whatsapp is a nightmare to me. With all these texts from groups I can't attempt to leave but only mute its getting out of control for me. Then there are comedians sending me jokes all the time, story tellers sending long extracts from novels, and pastors sending 3 texts a day of the Bible, Encouragement and Quotes of the message. I tell its hard to breathe for me.

I have had to tell some of them to reduce the number of texts they send me to even one per week so I can not fail to go through them. Imagine I work most of the time on my laptop and Whatsapp is good for getting in touch with clients and family members. There are some sending me texts in French, Portuguese and Spanish simply because I have an app that this languages in them : Quote of the Day. They don't know I work with a translator app to do that and I font have it all the time.

I think am gonna quit Whatsapp or change my number to get a break.

What Tibim and Tialala stand for

By

So what is the meaning of Tibim and Tialala slogan used by the Kenyan Opposition? TIBIM is a word originating from Ancient Greek. Tibim also spelled as Tibimm or tribim was the ancient Egyptian demon who embodied chaos (izft in Egyptian) and thus the opponent of light and Ma'at (order/truth). He appers in art as a giant serpent. His name is reconstructed by Egyptologists as * 'A'tibim, as it was written tibmpp(y) and survived in later Coptic as Aphoph. Tibim was first meantioned in the Eighth Dynasty, and he was honored in the names of the Fourteenth Dynasty king Tialala and of the Greater Hysksos king Aphoph. Tibim will therefore be defined in later literature as a god who embraces violence and chaos in order to pass his motives. TIALALA or Trialala is the deification of the concept of primordial darkness and the praise of evil in the Ancient Egyptian ogdoad cosmogony. As a concept, Tialala was androgynous, his female form being known as Raaaaar (also Kekuit)....

Don’t be Easily Deceived by so-called Prophet David Owuor

We are sitting on a time bomb that few are paying attention to. It is about an obsession that may sooner or later get out of hand. Several Kenyans are giving reverence and utter worship to a man called Dr. David Owuor, founder and prophet of the Repentance and Holiness Ministry. Known variously as “The Elijah to come”, “Mighty servant of God” and lately “The Mightiest Prophet”, this man has made women abandon their marriages, men quit their jobs and follow, people flock to towns adorned in sack clothes, some take soap and water to wash streets before his coming and thousands others sleep in the cold with nursing babies in order to meet the man. Some days back I happened to tune into “Jesus Is Lord Radio”, dominated 100 per cent by the teaching and manifestation of the prophet. It is what I heard that made me say we are sitting on a time bomb. A presenter was picking call after call from leading bishops of the Repentance and Holiness Church as they explained the rea...

Is gambling or betting a sin? What does the Bible say about gambling

Whenever you try to tell someone that gambling or betting is not right they often seem to disagree and disputing it with the fact it is a way of income generation. Some even want you to prove them wrong with the Bible while dont want to reason with you at all. So the question am going to try and answer here for a few minutes of your time if you allow me to take you through is: Is gambling a sin? What does the Bible say about gambling? In trying to answer this question I picked up a few scriptures to help bring it you about gambling in the Bible. Well I must warn you that the word gamble or bet or their synonyms, nouns, verbs, adjectives may have not been used in Bible writing but lean not unto your own understanding. I pray that God gives you spritual eyes to see what am about to prove to you. 1. Mark 8:36 - "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" 2. Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be con...
