@Polymathes That's very interesting, but a missionary has no business writing about which country should be ruling over other countries.

I noticed he didn't explain the true situation of Japan.

@erw108 erw, Japan still gives missionary visas. However, the general population is apathetic towards anything God-related. It is sad, as they are generally nice people, but they don't want to be different from everybody around them.

@zDToddy Toddy, so if you are homeless, or don't pay taxes, you don't have a country to call "home"?

@andyb619 andy, If you know what was in the Holy Bible, you would understand the meaning of what I wrote. . Please start reading it to your soul's salvation today.

@TakahashiTakami Adoption agency would be a GREAT idea. Perhaps you could work to change the very poor adoption laws in Japan to allow full custody by the adoptive parents. That would help many kids find forever homes. Abolishing the 戸籍 system would help in that, and many other areas too, to help bring more freedom to Japan.

@zDToddy Toddy, this recent comment of yours is very nice and heart-warmng. It would ring of sincerity if you went back and edited your previous comment denigrating the homeless and those who don't pay taxes.

That's cool that you want to do translation, but everyone says (and my observations concur), that jobs for translators are dwindling rapidly.

@setsunaemblem setsu, you are welcome to make unrelated statements.

@andyb619 andy, your question: "If you feel they're restricted by the Bible" is not how I feel. I'm saying that the Holy Bible forbids God's servants from "writing about which country should be ruling over other countries." . That is standard Christian teaching. . Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

@andyb619 andy, God bless you. Jesus calls us to make disciples of all nations. Let's work while it is day, for the night comes when no one can work.

Japan doesn't want foreigners to get permanent residence. They up the rules every few years, and are planning to have a bill either this year or next saying that even if you do get a PR, if you stop paying for health insurance or taxes or pensions, then they will take it back from you and boot you out.

Yet he still can't speak it very well.
1
Very disappointed that he claims to be a missionary, and yet didn't have anything at all to say about Jesus.
1
@dirtytablecloth123 dirty, you need to watch again, because the only reason he could come to Japan in the first place was because of his missionary visa.

He should have learned kanji by this time if he was serious about reaching the Japanese for Jesus.

@よそみ-z9f 「ま“よ” さん」ほんまに漢字はややこしい。でもすべての文字に意味が含まれていて、勉強する時なんかエジプトの象形文字の勉強してるかのような気がします。コンピュータの変換はすごい便利やけど、漢字の書き方忘れるな～。多くの日本人が救われるため漢字でも使って、イエス様が日本人皆に受け入れられますように！
1
@EdwardLindon Edward, perhaps so, but it seemed like from what he said that he has NOT learned many kanji yet.
1
@EdwardLindon I just rewatched part of the video, especially where it talks about Kanji on the timline, and it is Takashi who says he has forgotten how to write them, and the man mentions nothing there about studying them, but later he says he reads the headlines of the newspapers, so he can obviously read some (if they are Japanese newspapers).
1
Yet even after 63 years, he doesn't seem to understand much about Japanese society yet...
1
@carollynt carollynt, everyone is religious.
1
After you live in Japan a few years, you will probably start to discover the dark side of Japan.
1
As a missionary, why didn't he talk about his mission work or Jesus or anything missionary-related?

There were no pics of the grandson at all in this video...
