The Giraffe women live in Myanmar and also live in Thailand,when they are young they have brass coils put round their necks,and each year another one is added,and so gradually the neck is stretched,hence the name Giraffe women.It is very detrimental to the body,it is very heavy,and can be very painful,the rings cannot be removed as it would lead to suffocation.It is banned in Myanmar but not in Thialand,They are mainly animists a belief that plants rocks trees indeed everything is spiritual ,but some of these people have a little of Roman Catholicism in them.Some of them consult chicken bones as regards making decisions. In Romans 1 v 21-23 we read, 'of those whose minds became dark and confused.Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshipping the glorious,ever living God.They worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles'.It is very sad when one reads such things, John Stott writes 'That the culural idolatry of the West is no better. To exchange the worship of the living God for the modern onbsession with wealth, fame and power is equally foolish and equally blameworthy'. In Isaiah 45 v 21 we read,'There is no God apart from Me, a righteous God and a Saviour,there is none but Me'. Christ came ,because of humanities darkness,the word of God tells us that they love darkness more that light,in fact they hate the light, and they sought to extinguish Him who is the light of the world,by klling Him on a cross.But praise God they didn't succeed, for He rose from the dead and lives to today in an endless life,and He declares.
'Whoever follows Me will not
walk in darkness, but will have
the light of life'
( John 8 v 12)
