Furthermore, I noticed that my hiking backpack was missing, after hours of waiting for all my luggage to be returned to my possession in the Immigration Office. To be specific, the Tel Aviv Airport NEGLECTED to place my largest checked bag (i.e., my hiking backpack in a well-taped plastic shipping bag) on the flight back to Larnaca...However, NO NEED TO WORRY, because a Baggage Enquiries Office at the Paris Airport verified that my largest checked bag was (as suspected) left at the Tel Aviv Airport. *So, I'll carry on UNTIL WE (AU...the hiking backpack and I) MEET AGAIN (REVOIR). LAUGHABLE!*]
*Holding Area/Larnaca International Airport (LCA): 1 Aegean Airlines Agent offered 'food & beverage'...while I rested inside a room (w/ beds and a bathroom).

[NOTE: The Station closed for just a few wee hours, every night. Usually, that simply meant that most doors were locked. So...as a woman without a designated camping area, I'll try to politely stroll away from the huge Gare station, and find my way among the nighttime air in France.]; 1 Security Guard (who spoke only in French) (w/ a dog [Canine] on a leash) [on another day] demanded me (w/ strong French language and hand gestures) to "take down the tent"...while I prepared to get some brief 'shut-eye' inside my pitched tent before the station closed (a few hours later)
***************REVERSE ALTRUISM:***************
*ibis Styles Paris CDG Airport Roissy [Hotel]: Over 3 Hotel Staff Members [on more than 1 occasion] requested my departure from the Hotel, after asking me for a Hotel room number...while I used the Lobby amenities (such as the Lobby seating area, coffee/juice counter, and Computer area)
***************REVERSE ALTRUISM:***************
*ibis Styles Paris Roissy CDG [Hotel]: 1 Breakfast Room Worker requested me to leave the Breakfast Room, after requesting a Hotel room number, before stating that the food was only for Hotel Guests...while I finished off a beverage (w/ searched food wrapped in napkins) at a Dining Room table. [NOTE: Once again, I visited the Hotel to search for food (good enough to survive w/ towards dinnertime), while stranded in a foreign country (away from my DESIGNATED COUNTRY OF REFUGE, Israel) without regular food and money.]; 1 Manager, encountered before, [on another day] requested my departure from the Hotel, after saying, "I don't know how I can help you."
***************REVERSE ALTRUISM:***************
*ibis Roissy CDG Paris Nord (PN) 2 [Hotel]: 1 Manager (w/ a Breakfast Room Worker) demanded me to leave the Breakfast Room, after initially allowing me to remain in the Breakfast Room, expecting that I would pay for the breakfast food at the front desk...while I prepared a tray of food in the Breakfast Room; 1 Front Desk Worker (w/ a Manager, and Co-workers) [on another day] requested my departure from the Hotel, after insisting that I pay for the food (w/ Euros or American dollars), in response to a complaint from a Breakfast Room Worker (encountered many times before)...after I picked up a few pastries from a small table in the Lobby (just outside of the Breakfast Room)
*********************
*Terminal 1/Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) (a.k.a. Roissy Airport): 1 Security Guard, encountered many times before, offered clothing (i.e., a box full of--petite [misses size] and children's--clothing)...while I sat (on the floor) in a corner near a doorway on a ground level; 1 Airport Employee, encountered before, [on another day] offered a sandwich (from the nearby Paul [French Bakery/Cafe Restaurant Chain] kiosk)...while I stood near a doorway on a ground level; 1 Homeless Person (who was a Software Developer, and originally from Gabon, Africa) [w/ a tall cardboard box on a trolley cart] [on another day] offered body oil (i.e., a bottle of "Mixa Intensif Peaux Sèches - Huile Corps Sous la Douche Nutrition Minute"), a gift bag (e.g., an Eiffel Tower LED Light, scarf, book, newspaper, old brochures, etc.), help (to find the Israeli and U.S. Embassies in France), companionship (to escort me around Paris), Food & Shelter Agency information/suggestions (e.g., to use the local Red Cross [a.k.a. the unholy infidel Blood Bank of MHC Vampires]), and encouragement, before handing me their contact information, also inquired about my travel story. Initially, the Homeless Person greeted me in French. Soon after, they looked towards my hands, mentioned that my hands looked dry, and then quickly proceeded to apply body oil to one of my hands. I responded to the act of concern for the well-being of my hands, by mentioning that antibacterial products (even body lotions) [seem to] burn my hands (by simultaneously destroying the germs and the skin of my hands). Afterwards, the Homeless Person said that they have stayed at the Paris Airport for the past 5 years. They used to survive off of the trash cans (and dumpsters) throughout the Airport. But, as they explained, "times have changed," because the Airport now enforces more security measures. Specifically, the Airport restricts public access to trash throughout the facilities, and the eateries no longer liberally offer food (leftovers) to the hungry and needy. Coincidentally, less than an hour later, the Airport Police walked over, interrogated, and frisked the Homeless Person, a few steps away from me, while I used my tablet PC (on the floor). After the Airport Police departed, the Homeless Person explained that the Airport Police (???and Security???) often harass them (and their buddies). Lastly, they insisted that I immediately start traveling (by foot and by shuttle) w/ them around Paris. To be specific, they confidently described a shared Paris travel itinerary that included stops at the Red Cross, Shelters, eateries, etc. Even though I declined the travel buddy offer, they promised to check out my Facebook page, and remain in contact. [NOTE: Earlier, they wrote down my Facebook information from the link listed on my "CONFESSION TOWARDS SALVATION" backpack sticker (i.e., the "I Keira Renae Johnson CONFESS that JESUS CHRIST is LORD GOD IN FLESH" handmade sticker statement) that was taped to the upper back area of my hiking backpack.]; 1 Airport Employee, encountered many times before, [on another day] offered a sandwich (from the nearby Paul [French Bakery/Cafe Restaurant Chain] kiosk)...while I sat (and dozed off) in a corner near a doorway on a ground level; 1 Security Guard, encountered many times before, [on another day] offered monies (in Euros)...while I used the FREE WiFi w/ my tablet; 1 Custodial Worker, encountered before, [on another day] offered soda (i.e., a can of Coca-Cola Light w/ labeling in French)...while I sat (on the floor) in a corner near a doorway on a ground level; 1 Police aux Frontieres (PAF - National Police) Officer [on another day] offered monies...while I walked towards my hiking gear
*ibis Styles Paris Roissy CDG [Hotel]: 1 Hotel Staff Member offered pastries (i.e., the remaining pastries in a basket on the coffee stand)...while I used the FREE WiFi w/ my tablet at a Hotel computer desk
*ibis Paris CDG Airport [Hotel]: 1 Guest offered 'to pay for my meal,' after a Manager (w/ a Security Guard) said that I had to pay for the food...soon after I prepared a tray of food and beverage (including food 'wrapped in napkins,' and 'NICELY PLACED inside a small [complimentary] paper bag'...*DELIGHTFULLY LAUGHABLE*) in the Breakfast Room
*Sheraton Paris Airport Hotel & Conference Centre [Hotel]/Terminal 2/Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) (a.k.a. Roissy Airport): 1 Security Guard offered a Hotel room stay (i.e., a shared Hotel room stay [if wanted]), and companionship, after mentioning that I could not sleep (???on the sofa chairs???) inside the Hotel Lobby, also inquired about my travel situation...after I stopped at a sofa area inside the Lobby. During the encounter, the Security Guard insisted that I SLEEP WITH THEM INSIDE A HOTEL ROOM WITH ONE BED. I responded by explaining that I DID NOT SLEEP WITH OTHERS, because I am a single Celibate Christian. Yet, I mentioned that I did sleep in Hotel room beds by myself. Even after my 'lone & frank' excuses, they continued to insist that I just SLEEP WITH THEM (i.e., join them in a 2-in-1 bed setting) for the night, and subsequently tried to get me to walk w/ them towards an elevator. After they disappeared towards an elevator, I quickly exited the Hotel, into a hallway (of Terminal 2). [NOTE: After I left the Hotel, I sat down (to get some 'shut-eye' and rest) on a few chairs in a hallway. To my shocked dismay, the Security Guard found me at the seating area, reached for one of my hands, tried to caress my neck (near my neck spot), and continued to insist that I just follow them to a Hotel room. Lastly, they implied that I should move my respite to an area around a corner (???WITH THEM AS AN ESCORT AND A COMPANION???).]

***************REVERSE ALTRUISM:***************
*Premiere Classe Roissy [Hotel]: 1 Hotel Staff Member (who is also a Breakfast Room Worker) [w/ a Manager], encountered before, implied that I should not revisit the Hotel, by saying, "That's not possible! [It is not possible...to continue to take a Hotel shuttle bus from the Airport to this Hotel, for breakfast food every morning, and not pay for the food.]" after inquiring about my travel situation...after I finished off a tray of food, and stashed away additional food in the Breakfast Room. [NOTE: On a previous day, the aforementioned Hotel Staff Member allowed me to pick up some breakfast food in the Breakfast Room. Even though, they initially requested payment (by cash or by card) for the food, after asking for a Hotel room number.]

*Premiere Classe Roissy Charles De Gaulle - Paris Nord (PN) 2 [Hotel]: 1 ???Security Guard??? demanded my departure from the Hotel, after aggressively following me into the Breakfast Room, and asking if I stayed at the Hotel...soon after I entered the Breakfast Room. [NOTE: On a previous day, a Hotel Breakfast Room Worker quickly told the Front Desk Staff that I did not have a Hotel room number. Yet, after I explained my travel situation, they lightened up, passed a cup of coffee, and allowed me to get some food. So, the aggressive actions of the ???Security Guard??? were extremely unjustified.]

*Millennium Hotel Paris Charles de Gaulle: 1 Breakfast Room Worker (w/ over 2 Front Desk Workers) requested me to leave the Hotel, after initially allowing me to remain in the Breakfast Room, expecting that I would pay for the breakfast food at the front desk...after I finished off some food at a Dining Room table (and stashed away food) in the Hotel Breakfast Room. [NOTE: In the Breakfast Room, the Breakfast Room Worker requested a Hotel room number, while I finished off some food at a Dining Room table. I responded, "I'm a visitor... No. I don't have a Hotel room. I'm a visitor." Then, they stated that the food cost a certain amount of money (in Euros). Afterwards, they escorted me to the front desk. At the front desk (in the Hotel Lobby), a Front Desk Worker requested payment for the food in Euros (by cash or by card). I explained that I only had American dollars. Soon after, the Front Desk Worker looked up from a computer, and stated the price of the food in American dollars. Well, I only had a few dollar coins and some change. Eventually, the Front Desk Worker said that I could leave, but they usually call the Police. I responded, "You can call the Police. I think they should know, too. Because I will continue to visit hotels for breakfast food. [However,] I will not return to this hotel."]

Initially, the Hotel Guest inquired about the pronunciation and spelling of my name. I responded by spelling my name aloud, while pointing towards a modified version of my "CONFESSION TOWARDS SALVATION" backpack sticker in my tote bag, which included my "Earthly Citizenship Status" line, "I am a CITIZEN of the COMMONWEALTH of ISRAEL (Ephesians 2:12-13,19)." Shockingly, they repeatedly read out loud my "Earthly Citizenship Status" line, while laughing. Afterwards, they sparked up some 'controversial talk' about Religion, Jewish People (esp. the Non-Messianic Jews) in Israel, and American "Yankee" Patriotism. Strangely, they repeatedly insisted that...[SIGH]...'I STORE MY HIKING GEAR in their Hotel room,' 'I ACCOMPANY THEM to a nearby Restaurant,' and 'I JUST STAY OVERNIGHT in their Hotel room.'

*"Feminine Grace" (Shekhinah) LIBERATION LANGUAGE: YES to "Female Circumcision" and NO to "Female Genital Mutilation"*

**********************************************************************************************************************

[NOTE: I support "fore-key* Circumcision" - total removal of clitoris.]

As a self-proclaimed female Eunuch (and Celibate), I say "YES to Circumcision" as a progressive move towards the "HOLINESS & SHEKHINAH GLORY of the Lord God Almighty." However, years ago, I was greatly turned off to the topic of "Female Circumcision" (as a contextually relevant [existential] matter), because of the widely publicized gross misrepresentation (of Female Circumcision) called "Female Genital Mutilation" (FGM). FGM is commonly associated with Islamic Female Sunna Circumcision, which includes flagrant exposure of the inner clitoral foreskin by cutting around the clitoris hood (outer clitoral foreskin). [NOTE: I DETEST Islamic Female Sunna Circumcision! Can somebody spell UN-HAREM-LIKE CONDUCT?!] To be specific, the dark shadow of "Female Genital Mutilation" has deceptively presented a disfigured counterargument against "Female Circumcision," by positing that it is detrimental and harmful (in practice), while ignoring the easy to grasp hygienic, genteel refinement, and Religious/Spiritual benefits of "Female Circumcision."

Notably, the immediate health and hygienic benefits of clitoris removal should be quickly noticeable in clear view of an area free from the protruding offender of mound instability (i.e., the profuse clit-tower of impulsive stimulation). Also, the chances of genital inflammation and infection reduce along with any associated odors and discharge, while "FREE FROM CLITORIS."

Considering the proper presentation that sustains civilization, customary fore-key Circumcision removes the barbarian stigma associated with invasive influences that liken impulsive penetrating forces, by clearing away the offensive matter (i.e., THE CLITORIS), leaving a simple unpretentious exterior display that enables more felicitous agility. Besides, the ideal civilized professional is one who embodies a classy, refined, and non-threatening outward expression, without any hidden and 'intrusively penetrating' points of exploitation.

In Christianity, the "Circumcision of the flesh" includes the removal of offensive and unclean areas, to present a more glorious bodily manifestation. (SEE Ephesians 2:11-13) Similarly, the "Spiritual Circumcision of the heart" includes the putting away of the 'vile & unseemly' carnal nature of misguided attitudes and behaviors, to actualize the righteous and holy way of Christ Jesus. (SEE Romans 2:29)

All things considered, the pragmatic rite of "Female Circumcision" affords the beneficiary a meek fleshly stance that is liberated from the bodily key to impulsive sinful desires, "THE CLITORIS." Therefore, the "FREE FROM CLITORIS" can be liberated and confident regarding the nature of the "Image of God" (Jesus Christ), and clearly draw nigh to the Lord God's Shekhinah Glory with a graceful similitude (in pure reverence). (SEE Philippians 3:21)

-------------

*"fore-key" is conceptualized from the Greek word kleis that means key in English, which is an etymological meaning of the Greek word kleitoris that means clitoris in English

*Thoughts about THE MISCONCEIVED STATE OF ISLAM in light of Christian Revelatory Impulse*

According to traditional record, a certain Waraqa Naufal was the first to call Muhammada (the founder of Islam) a Prophet of God. If Waraqa Naufal was in fact an Arab CHRISTIAN PRIEST (of Ebionitism and Nestorianism), then Islam is simply an Arabian Heretical sect of Christian Theological Thought (i.e., a Religious Ethnic Group influenced by the Revelationary Impulse of Christianity). Therefore, the Quran (a Religious text of Islam) is an Arab-focused Inspirational Rule book that is similar in traditional regard (for customary writings) to the following supporting texts of other major Abrahamic Religious Groups (of Judaism and Christianity): the Jewish Talmud, the Catholic Catechism, and the "Book of Mormon."

In short, False Prophet Muhammada was under a "Spirit of Divination," and lacked the necessary Christological training (i.e., Christian theological study) to appropriately incorporate the Christian Revelation from Waraqa Naufal into a "Christian canon-focused Missionary framework" that could have been used to ETHICALLY PROSELYTIZE (convert to Christianity) Arabia.

[NOTE: To add insult to 'the injured Middle Eastern Christian Church,' Muslims (Islamists) reject the "Divine Lordship of Jesus Christ," and the significance of the "Cross of Christ," although Jesus Christ is 'referred to' (mentioned) OVER 90 TIMES in the Quran!]

-------------------->COMMENTS<--------------------
**ATTENTION:** Islam is WAYWARD EBIONITISM! Supposedly, Waraqa Naufal attempted to indoctrinate Muhammada into Ebionite Christianity. On another shocking note, Waraqa Naufal (as an Ebionite Priest and Spiritual Leader in Mecca [3]) read Muhammada's marriage sermon, during the marriage ceremony of Muhammada to Khadija, who was a cousin of Waraqa Naufal.

[SEE the following reference links:

*Fresh Produce Farm Stand (Tent) on Garden Park Drive across from Wendy's: 1 Fresh Produce Seller offered pine nuts (in a bag), after asking about my travel situation...while I walked towards Center St. Initially, the Fresh Produce Seller asked about the nature of my travel situation. Then, they inquired about my Religious/Spiritual beliefs, and pointed out my "CONFESSION TOWARDS SALVATION" backpack sticker (i.e., the "I Keira Renae Johnson CONFESS that JESUS CHRIST is LORD GOD IN FLESH" handmade sticker statement) on the back-flap of my hiking backpack. Surprisingly, they asked me about my Religious views on marriage and children. I responded by explaining my simple view that "marriage should only be issued by the Lord God," who made the first authentic Help Meet (as described in Genesis 2:22-23), yet I DID NOT FORBID MARRIAGE ON OLD EARTH. To be specific, marriage is more honorable under the Lord God's oversight (i.e., through the guiding light of Lord God Omnipotent-"The Most Blessed & Only Potentate") in the "Monarchy of God," where the Lord God rules and reigns. Also, I explained that the reproduction of children, outside of the "Monarchy of God," should not be a pressing need or desire in the World, since the "End of the World-Apocalypse" (described in the Book of Revelation) is fast approaching, and the "whole World lieth in wickedness" (as understood from the Holy Bible passage 1 John 5:19). Furthermore, I mentioned that there's A GENERATION THAT SHALL NOT PASS until certain signs of the "End Times" come to pass (SEE Matthew 24:3-34; Mark 13:4-30; Luke 21:7-32). All things considered, it is my understanding that there should be NO URGENT DEMAND TO REPRODUCE more children throughout the World, before the "End of the World."
