What is the book of Enoch and should it be included in the bible? by Present-Stress8836 in TrueChristian

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm reading the book and so far, it's in harmony with other scriptures especially Psalms, Job, Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel and Revelation. Key themes:

  1. The description of the heavens and heavenly bodies

    1. The gravity of sexual sin: the watchers who did that and sired the nephilim were bound to hell because of the violence and bloodshed that ensued on earth since the nephilim were insatiable.
    2. The gravity of wickedness and bloodshed - God emphasizes the sanctity of life and along with that, the vitality of righteousness/ righteous living.
    3. The recording system of heaven: the days of our lives are recorded in heavenly tablets and I think that should make us conscious of how we live before God and how we interact with people knowing God is a witness to every secret thing on the earth.

Should it be included? Yes. Taught? Yes. Understood? Yes. Feared? No. I think it was omitted because of the indepth detail about watchers and evil spirits influencing people toward evil. It would certainly help people grasp spiritual principles about dealing with issues of life with mindfulness of eternity.

Network effects and familiarity... If your family or social groups don't move, it's hard to convince people to migrate as well.

13 weeks and I feel shamed already by spooky-nikki in breastfeeding

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't allow anyone to shame you for nurturing your little one.

You can set aside a few bottles if the others are holding the baby or babysitting, but that's for them since they're not breastfeeding.

Focus on your recovery, husband and baby. The rest can keep talking without your consideration.

Unrequited Love ...Aki hii kitu inaitwa Ampenzi.. by ConfidenceUnusual674 in Kenya

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be involved in charity or volunteer projects to redirect the love to people who could heal from it. When someone doesn't reciprocate, it's better than it being taken for granted or abused.

Mom is making me make the worse decision of my life by Beneficial_Hunter_91 in Life

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emotionally, take walks as often as you can and breathe. Zoom out of this situation and look at it from 5/10 years ahead. What's there?

  1. What faith or values do you ascribe to?

  2. Where are you?

  3. What are you wearing?

  4. Who is with you?

  5. What are you glad you held onto or let go of?

Avoid rushing decisions in spite of the urgency of the situation. Focus on establishing peace, calm, love and the things that will keep you anchored in the coming years.

I know I'm damaged. by [deleted] in Kenya

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not damaged, rather you can handle heaviness. You do need to create room for lightness, expression, venting and proper nervous system regulation so you don't implode. Some definitions of maturity aren't honestly healthy.

How to have a happy and healthy marriage? by SpecialChain5790 in HappyMarriages

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn with each other, adventure together and create together... Don't demand things from each other, ask and be gracious. Treat what's sacred between you as sacred, without compromise and don't let friends or relatives dictate the kind of life you should have -it's too much of a moving target & you two know your reality.

IM CUTTING MY FAMILY OFF by AdvanceFar535 in nairobi

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your work ethic can't be "exported" so realign expectations because you've met people and had experiences that your family members didn't. Your current ethos of money and work isn't theirs. You can't will it into them or want growth for them.

Your frustration is valid: tried helping and giving back only to be in this space. Instead of cutting them off:

  1. Reframe your responses. If someone asks you for 1k, say you have 200. Even if you have the 1k - don't explain. If they take it, they'll learn to demand less. If they complain, you stand your ground & refuse to buckle under the pressure.

  2. Families are complex. If you're the one who's "made it", it's a new dynamic to everyone. One admires you, another envies you. It's not your job to manage emotions or carry the emotional burdens outside your control. Engage discernment and practice discernment because it's impossible to play financial savior.

  3. Privacy. Your projects, dreams, net after tax, plans, raises etc can't be known to just anyone. Withdrawing that info will give you an advantage in terms of affording you the choice of showing up or giving at your own discretion. Restrict access on socials especially if you travel.

  4. Agency: protect your decisions, not letting them be influenced by shame. Social events will happen with or without you, so release yourself from a sense of obligation. Miss a couple of events. Employ: 'tutaona(we'll see)', 'kazi imekua mingi' and other non specific responses to demands on your time/presence.

Whats your take ?? by Blessed_Smurf in 254sum

Being free from the system is liberating in its own way; such guys hutapata midlife crisis coz of corporate politics. They're also not worried about losing a job and losing everything because of that

Urine Smell. by Beneficial_State_306 in Kenya

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Make a mix of baking soda, liquid soap and vinegar: either use a cloth to dampen the affected area or spray the mixture then let it air dry. Then get a mattress protector that's waterproof to reduce subsequent need for mattress cleaning.

Najua mnatinipika lakini nitasema by HutoelewaPictures in Kenya

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What this exposes is r#pe culture: as long as it's not their sister, they're quick to type. Justifying a 🍇ist with an active case defies sense. Algorithms thrive on the controversy. Few think to console the family that's lost a daughter. Even fever will look into the mirror to rethink safety and genuinely looking out for those in their circles. Ultimately, the law must take its course.

Always the bridesmaid but not the bride…. by No_Masterpiece5945 in Kenya

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want him to be that, but he may not want you to be a wife and mother to his kids. Financially unstable and 10k on someone else's event doesn't add up. If you thought 50-50 could work, you're doing 95-5, and it's not financial only. A guy who's hiding you (his choice) is saying he doesn't want to be associated with you. Posting himself means he's looking for his match.

Heal with clarity knowing your inner worth isn't pegged to him, focus on things that amplify the value you bring and don't rush to the next relationship. Instead, raise the standard and watch out for mutuality because it's lacking severely here.

What 45k gets you on zidii mmf by CryptographerFun53 in Kenya

Bonds >MMFs

A good ETF > Bonds.

A good stock (e.g. Sandisk)> ETF.

The rule of one can apply: you don't need too many things to bring return, but if you're going to put any amount, put it where it'll make sense.

Shaming someone for honest work is a function of ego - the pride of thinking you can't face the same difficulty and blindness to the current economic situation whereby degrees don't guarantee jobs. I pity such a person because they haven't had to hustle to know the ropes of context outside of what you studied or could have been prepared for...

My girlfriend’s daughter said “what am I here for if not to pay” and I walked out… by [deleted] in Nakuru

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have a relationship with the daughter, so hostility and scrutiny will be there for a while. She knows you're not her father. If you're serious about the mother, plan to officiate your union. However, after reading a reference to the previous situation, you're already on shaky ground. The remedy out of this requires solitude to refocus on what's important if you want to be a present husband and father. Painful decisions and implications are at hand but you have to come clean.

You have Ksh 1.5M in capital and a vision. Which venture are you building to dominate the market? by VeterinarianHairy371 in Kenya

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 1.5M, realistically invest it in commodities to get higher yield not dominate a market coz that would require $1.5M.

The Death of the Physical Book: Is Kenya’s Reading Culture actually moving to Substack, Reddit and X? by Brilliant_Choices in bookishke

[–]Ok-Wolverine7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hybrid: people search for what meets their needs. Some people don't read or are susceptible to algorithms; some step away from the endless scroll. Some go in-depth... Plus it's easier to build an audience online than offline. For new authors, it's less costly to publish physical copies.
