“50th story”
First Published: Aug.02.2018
There once lived a respected “religion adviser” in a small town.
People believed all his sentences and judgments came directly from God. They used it, spread it and without any research, accepted it.
There was a special annual ceremony in town where wealthier people cooked big pots of food and distributed them to their fellow citizens for charity reasons.
People had to stand in lines to fill up their pots to take home and eat.
The religion adviser’s wife told him that the lineup for food was so long. The food would be finished if she stood in the line. She wanted to have that charity food.
The religion adviser said: “Don’t worry, I will fix it.”
He took his pot to the food distributors and said: “Hold the line. Don’t give food to people as this food has a religious problem.”
Everyone stopped and was waiting to hear the reason.
The adviser continued: “I am not sure if the meat in the food was cut in God’s name. The sheep came to my dream and told me itself. So it might be questionable and you must not spread it to people. UNLESS!”
Everyone was happy that there was a solution and couldn’t wait to hear more.
“Unless five kilos of the food is given to a religious advisor, a man of God.” He continued.
Everyone shouted: “Thank God there are rules to make life easier for us.” And they all happily agreed to fill up the adviser’s pot with food first to make it edible for the rest of the crowd.
The religion adviser took his full pot and walked towards the home.
A visitor realized how the religious adviser abused his place and deceived others without any shame.
He ran to the religion adviser and said: “How could you manipulate people like that?”
The advisor responded: “I needed a pot full of free food. It isn’t my fault people like being stupid and believe anything that comes out of my mouth.”
Amazing
Thanks so much dear friend ❤️
So mean that adviser is!! The true picture of the many selfish people whom we often blindly trust!! Anyways, great post! 🙂
We really are blind, thanks my dear Riddhima for reading my posts ❤️
You’re most welcome!! <3
❤️
I hope it choked him
😂😂😂😂if it was that easy Derrick dear, there wouldn’t be any dictator in the world. Thanks so much ❤️
Thanks for sharing!… unfortunately, not all advisors are religious and there are far too many of them… 🙂

― Frank Herbert
Beautiful quote. It was a sarcasm to all world leaders. I don’t understand why can’t we stop all these madness. Thanks dear ❤️
Right now all those leaders have the stage because a element of the human race, who is self-centered and closed minded, put them there… it will take time and patience but I am sure change is in the winds… nothing good comes easy or in a hap-hazard manner… 🙂

Beautiful quote thanks for sharing dear ❤️
This is a big unfortunate because we have the same religious advisors all over the world people always are the targets of these religions advisers. nice post
Love you ❤️
That is a tale which never grows old!
Absolutely , thanks darling ❤️
I’ve been sick and not been on wordpress. Glad to come back to such a great story <3 you did great!
You’re amazing my dear I hope you’re feeling better ❤️
Thankyou, and I am!
<3
The wisdom of my Father’s words remains unchanged : “A lie is always a lie, no matter how often it is repeated or how many believe it.” Your tale is sadly quite representative of the present. We live in a time where it seems that truth is not valued as it ought to be, worse that the untruths are accepted. Thank-you!
It’s our fault too, we let them do it to us. In the other hand we can’t speak up or we will go to jail or die mysteriously. Thanks darling for sharing your thoughts ❤️
so enjoy your stories……..
You’re awesome my dear Wendi ❤️
you are so very generous with your words! thank you.
😘
So true, unfortunately.🙏😊
So obvious these days. We see it but we aren’t allowed to mention it. Thanks dear friend ❤️
An invaluable lesson for our times, Laleh. There are far too many “religion advisers,” and others of the same ilk, among us who prey upon human misery, desperation, and stupidity.
You said it from our hearts my dear Rosaliene. Thanks darling ❤️
Ouch touche … don’t believe everything we hear, especially if it lines another’s pocket, er pot!
Yes dear it’s all about their pockets which never fills up. Thanks so much for commenting.<3
always a pleasure!
🤗😍
Laleh, this is a superb short tale!
Thanks Maria darling<3
You’re welcome, dear! The photo of the sheep added to this.
😂❤️
Really great morality story. Love the ones you post.
thanks so much dear, you are kind.<3
This reminds me of how things are in the US right now. 🙁
I think both are at fault, the liar as well as those who are foolish enough to believe the lies.
Excellent story, Laleh
It actually reminds us of all leader’s of the countries in the world. They are just abusing us human and we can not do anything about it. Thanks dear for sharing your thoughts.<3
Reblogged this on John Barleycorn and commented:
Great story.
Thanks dear John for reblogging❤️
All is not what it first seems.
Maybe it’s time for us all to stop believing these nonsenses, thanks dear ❤️
A wonderful story. I goes to show that we should always keep our eyes on God, and He will order our steps! Blessings to you!
Thanks Warren dear for reading and commenting ❤️
Having a compassionate heart always leads to the goodness being in service for the one’s you need it. Thank you Laleh joon for sharing
Thanks darling for being my friend ❤️
Lovely story Laleh, there’s a old saying ” he who does not learn from the past is doomed to repeat it ” one day people will learn then those people will have no more power over anyone.
❤️✌️
BY FOR NOW
I wish for those days dear. Thanks so much for sharing that beautiful saying.❤️
Your Welcome dear. ❤️✌️
BY FOR NOW
❤️
Ha, that’s why we must continue to put our trust in God, not man. Man fails, God doesn’t!
Blessings to you and great story as per.
Exactly true. We let them abuse us. Thanks darling ❤️
Yup! You’re most welcome dear! Anytime! 🙂
❤️
Jesus anticipated this. He said something like: “a good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree produces bad fruit. You will know them by their fruit.” I have met a “Pastor” that gossiped about his church members and condemned them behind their back in an effort to “win” me. I didn’t know Jesus or the Bible then and so I knew something was wrong but I didn’t know what. Jesus said something like: “You don’t gather grapes from thorn bushes and berries from thistles.” Not all who claim to be of God are of God. Test their actions to know their character. (Including me. This post is very convicting to me. I am obviously not perfect. But I try, fail, ask forgiveness and try again).
Indeed my friend. We need to keep our eyes open. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and beautiful words.❤️
Trust God, not men! Beautifully illustrated Laleh! You are a genius. Love the photo of the sheep.😀
💜❤️
😂thanks Crissy sweetheart, you’re lovely ❤️
We must be discerning of false teachers.
Minor edit:
manipulate people like that[?] [N]o
Thanks Christopher dear ❤️
Dear Laleh. I wish I could have said at the end how glad I feel this isn’t a true story and yet it is, in today’s world! Your words are always so close to life itself <3 <3
You’re very kind my dear.❤️
<3 <3
In mijn ogen is het een misdaad gebruik te maken van de goedgelovigheid van anderen
You’re awesome my friend ❤️
Gotta share this one on Facebook.
Thanks Russel dear ❤️
An excellent allegory of certain types of religious leaders who are found throughout all religions in the world.
They really are doing this all around the world and we pretend that we don’t see it. Thanks dear friend for sharing your thoughts.<3
Ook hier zit een les in.Geloof niet alles wat je hoort
But mostly we close our eyes and believe them maybe because we trust them, sadly. Thanks for always reading my posts and commenting ❤️
There is a saying that faith is opium for the people. It’s easy to manipulate people in the name of God. Whoever uses the name of God for his own benefit is vile. Shame! Each of us has her own authority, which she believes. May your faith be not used.
Beautiful thought dear, thanks for sharing it with us.<3
This is a lovely read Laleh. Thanks very much for writing. Cheers
Thanks Sebby dear for reading and sharing beautiful words.<3
The people sitting on high positions be it government or religion, tend to exploit their status, and sadly we are the dumbest people to grant them that position in the first place.
I don’t know when will we wake up. Thanks dear.❤️
Great story.
Thanks so much dear.❤️
see not a be er
of humility
food for thought
literally
Great story Laleh ❤️

Pleasure always dearest ❤️😊
🙏💕❤️

Keep safe my dear,
♥️😊
Thanks sweetheart, means a lot.💕
Reblogged this on By the Mighty Mumford.
Thanks so much.🌸
SORRY NO COMMENT, BUT YOU ARE WELCOME!

Sad but true. The real sheep in this story (like the sheep in the world around us) are those swallowing the words of their religious advisor w/o examining them.
Exactly, we have to be aware and smart, not to blindly accept and follow. Thanks Anna.❤️
I agree with the message, when someone manipulates another in the name of religion – the person being manipulated is also to be blamed, a bit atleast.
Yes true, we are to blame too if we follow blindly. Thanks dear friend.🌺
