A Potato That Wasn't A Christian
A Potato Wasn't A Christian: A Story For Children (not as Funny as it Sounds) is a 3-page evangelical pamphlet published by the Pilgrim Tract Society in 1960. Here's the actual not-as-funny-as-it-sounds story, via Internet Archive and Christian Nightmares:
-----------------Well, you see it happened this way. The huckster (peddler) had been selling potatoes on the street and mother had bought a bushel of beautiful and fine-looking potatoes and put them away in the basement of the house. A little boy lived in this house, one of a family of four children. He did not go to school: he helped mother. Everyday he went down and got the potatoes and brought them to mother. Then he would watch her pare them and prepare them for cooking. One day she cut a big potato right through the middle and it was black and rotten; and he said, "Mother that potato is not a Christian, is it?" Mother said "Why what do you mean? Of course potatoes are not Christians-only people." "It isn't a Christian, Mother" he said, "Because it is bad at its heard and rotten inside."
You see when his mother cut the potato and found it bad in the center, the little boy remembered this his mother had told him; that those who are not Christians had old hearts that were bad and rotten with sin on the inside. She had told him how nice they could look on the outside and yet be so very bad on the inside. So when he saw the rotten potato he thought of what his Mother had said and told her "That potato is not a Christian.
A Christian is a person who has a new heart. God never changes the old heart: for the bible says it is desperately wicked and cannot be cured. God sais that it is so deceitful above all things," that none can know it.
You cannot always tell when a potato is bad at the heart, and it often looks fair and fine on the outside; but God knows what is in the heart. If you want to see how bad it is in the heart of a man who is not a Christian, then we will let the knife of God's Word do for the human heart just what the knife did to the potato. Read Mark 7:21-23 and you will see the bad in the heart. The Christian has a new heart. There is no way to fix up the old heart. The new heart is created. It is a clean heart. Therefore the Psalmist when he had gone wrong, prayed "Create in me a clean heart." Now you understand what the little fellow meant when he said "that potato is not a Christian."After this when you cut an apple or potato or crack a nut and find it bad on the inside, you can think of the same thing and say "That potato is not a Christian;" for it is a good illustration of corruption (filthiness) of the human heart. A worm gets into the heart of a potato and rots it. It was the serpent of sin that got into the heart of man and made it bad.
The Blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. (1st Jn 1:7)
Remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth." Ecclesiastes 12:1
Jesus loves you! Pray to Jesus now and ask Him to come into your heart to live. He wants you to have a clean heart and not be rotten on the inside.

PHISHING... Alert...
My scambaiting friend DeeVeeAar has posted some excellent information about PHISHING. Pass it on to anyone who might benefit from reading this:
What is a Phishing Scam and How to Report it?
Scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated. One of the most common and dangerous types is the phishing scam. But what exactly is a phishing scam, how does it work, and how can you protect yourself from falling victim to it? This blog will answer these questions and provide you with the necessary steps to report phishing scams effectively.
What is a Phishing Scam?
A phishing scam is a fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by disguising as a trustworthy entity in electronic communications. The term "phishing" is a play on the word "fishing," as the scam involves luring unsuspecting victims into providing their personal information.
Phishing scams typically occur through emails, text messages, or fake websites that appear to be legitimate. The scammers create a sense of urgency, tricking individuals into clicking on malicious links or providing confidential information.
How Do Phishing Scams Work?
Phishing scams often start with an email or message that appears to come from a reputable source, such as a bank, social media site, or online store. These messages are designed to look official and may include logos and other elements that make them appear legitimate.
Here are some common tactics used in phishing scams:
- Urgent Language: The message may claim that there is an urgent issue with your account, such as a security breach or a problem with your payment information. This urgency is intended to prompt quick action without careful consideration.
- Links to Fake Websites: The message will often include a link to a website that looks identical to the legitimate site. Once you enter your information, it goes straight to the scammers.
- Attachments: Some phishing emails contain attachments that, when opened, install malware on your device. This malware can steal your information or give the scammer control over your computer.
- Requests for Personal Information: The message may ask you to provide sensitive information such as your Social Security number, credit card details, or login credentials.
How Can Phishing Scams Harm You?
Phishing scams can have severe consequences, including:
- Identity Theft: Scammers can use your personal information to steal your identity, open new accounts, or commit fraud.
- Financial Loss: If you provide your banking or credit card information, scammers can drain your accounts or make unauthorized purchases.
- Data Breach: Malware from phishing emails can compromise your personal and professional data, leading to further exploitation.
- Reputation Damage: If your email or social media accounts are hacked, scammers can use them to target your contacts, damaging your reputation.
How to Report a Phishing Scam
If you encounter a phishing scam, it is crucial to report it to prevent others from falling victim. Here are the steps to report a phishing scam:
- Do Not Click on Links or Attachments: If you receive a suspicious message, do not click on any links or open any attachments.
- Report the Email to Your Email Provider: Most email services have an option to report phishing emails. This helps them filter and block future phishing attempts.
- Report to the Company Being Impersonated: If the phishing attempt involves impersonating a reputable company, report it to that company. Most companies have dedicated teams to handle such reports.
- Use the FTC’s Complaint Assistant: In the United States, you can report phishing scams to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) using their online complaint assistant at ftc.gov/complaint.
- Submit the Scam to a Scammer Database: You can also report phishing scams using our submit form at Scammer.live/submit. This helps track and combat phishing scams more effectively.
- Contact Your Financial Institutions: If you have provided financial information, immediately contact your bank or credit card company to secure your accounts.
Additional Tips to Protect Yourself
- Be Skeptical: Always be cautious of unsolicited messages asking for personal information.
- Verify the Source: Contact the company directly using a known and trusted method to verify the legitimacy of the message.
- Look for Red Flags: Check for misspellings, grammatical errors, and generic greetings in the message.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): This adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts.
- Keep Software Updated: Ensure your antivirus software and operating system are up to date to protect against malware.
Conclusion
Phishing scams are a serious threat in today's digital world. By understanding how these scams work and knowing how to report them, you can protect yourself and others from falling victim. Always be cautious with unsolicited messages, verify their legitimacy, and report any suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities.

Another "Frog Applause" related song!
[Verse]
Whisper secrets in the night
Hidden from the morning light
Dreams within a shadow's sight
Black and white they start the fight
[Verse 2]
Masked by moon’s elusive face
In the dark I find my place
Can't escape this hidden chase
Sub liminal a strange embrace
[Chorus]
Eyepatch enforcer
Guard my heart
In the shadows
Worlds apart
Eyepatch enforcer
Playing smart
In the echoes
Make my start
https://suno.com/song/49f94946-f1f0-41aa-becc-9c4b02663559
[Verse 3]
Every word a secret told
Underneath the stars so bold
Mysteries begin to unfold
Stories in the night retold
[Verse 4]
Feel the rhythm of the breeze
Waves are whispered melodies
Lost in cryptic symphonies
Hidden dreams in memories

Pretty Pink Head by 6turtle9
https://suno.com/radio/song/0d189c30-41e5-4e64-817f-b369f6b8de36
My first Frog Applause tribute song. Yippeee! I love the lyric that includes, "pretty pink head."
Composing a song is a lot harder than I thought, which explains why my first two attempts were so bad. Not even lame, just bad.
----------
You’re so lame, you probably
Think this song is about you
Don’t you!
Don’t you!
Don’t be so subliminal
Your poetry is hiply criminal
You’re trailing so much plumage
Orifices seeping mucilage
You’d be better off without
Your pretty pink head
Your pretty pink head
Your pretty pink head
Unexpected, Delightfully Random!
Frog Applause got you on the run
Blind Joy, Fresh State of Mind!
Frog Applause got you on the run
Chaos, Wit & Humor, Juxtaposition, Raw Emotion!
Frog Applause got you on the run
You’d be better off without
Your pretty pink head
Your pretty pink head
Your pretty pink head
