So as most of you know a friend of mine got my (back) into japanese pop music through KAT-TUN whom I adore (not just cause their pretty either) but through KAT-TUN in a sort of round about way I found Kanjani8 who I am completely and totally in love with (yes I'm a 15 year old girl ( Read more... )

I admit that many methods people used to get me "into" Christianity were just hurtful, but what we're doing in Japan is that we're giving street English lessons and making friends, offering small tracts, and if they want to believe, great, and if not, that's really kool with us, too, but we want to try, you know? Many ppl have big misconceptions, and they're all founded to a degree, but we know the Japanese may be scared of it, or even hateful, but some haven't heard or read for themselves with someone there with kindness, not pointing a finger. I realized that not all Christians are mean, hateful, awful creatures. Hey, some are, but some have a warm spirit, a loving heart, and just wanna love on people. So your comment wasn't at all as hurtful as others.

I agree, people must find God themselves, but many Japanese don't know anything about our God except what they've read as evil in history books. Or, better yet! America is the Christian nation--with all of the grossnes of Vegas, sex, debauchery, and awfulness, yet they don't know that people who fervently engage in that aren't who we are.

I agree with you on most points and I am glad that my misconceptions have been cleared up.

I do think a lot of cultural insight is needed for such projects and anyone involved, I also see the native or indentured religions already existing in Japan are wonderful and have many element similar to Christian beliefs, and I hope that no one demises them.

By all means show kindness and love to those who need it, that"s kind of what I'm all about!

What have I done to anger you so? I merely posted an insightful comment on your post, many people agreed with it. Are you so afraid of alternate opinions? You are obviously not seeing the point I was trying to make that the Japanese people are deeply traditional and will never accept outside change. Try until you are blue in the face but you will never convert all of Japan to Christians.
