One Sunday it was discussed how Jehovah became disgusted with the Israelites. They repeatedly doubted him. Yet he cared for them. The evidence was abundant. He freed them from slavery, saved them by parting the Red Sea and provided for their basic human needs. Desiring more, demanding immediate gratification, the Israelites expressed the desire to return to Egypt. Jehovah became enraged with disgust. Often have I doubted your affections for me.

Empty Gods
1 Samuel 12:21 Empty things : unrealities
Not the way man sees is the way God sees, because mere man sees what appears to be eyes but as for Jehovah, she sees what the heart is (1 Samuel 16:7)
20 So Samuel said to the people: “Do not be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil. Only do not turn away from following Jehovah,+ and serve Jehovah with all your heart.+ 21 Do not turn away to follow the empty things,*+which are of no benefit+ and cannot rescue, because they are empty.*22 For the sake of his great name,+Jehovah will not abandon his people,+for Jehovah has taken it upon himself to make you his people.+ 23 As for me, it is unthinkable for me to sin against Jehovah by ceasing to pray in your behalf, and I will continue to instruct you in the good and right way. 24 Only fear Jehovah,+ and serve him faithfully*with all your heart, for see what great things he has done for you.+ 25 But if you flagrantly do what is bad, you will be swept away,+ both you and your king.”+
Not the way man sees is the way God sees, because mere man sees what appears to be eyes but as for Jehovah, she sees what the heart is (1 Samuel 16:7)

Stopping Witches From Starting Witch Hunts
STARE UGLY IN THE FACE/STOP UGLY IN ITS TRACKS
A Katty Story
"You know when someone tells you something ugly? You know, when they say something like, 'You know that girl, Holly? Isn't she ugly.' You know it's nasty. You know that person is looking for a reply. Well, this is what you do . . . you just stand there and you look directly at the person that is saying such a thing. You look right at them, completely expressionless. Completely expressionless, like this . . . ," Kathleen demonstrated the look. It was a blank look. Indeed, it was expressionless. Perhaps not a Mona Lisa look. That look is associated with a type of smile. Kathleen stood stoically. There was no expression on her face. It wasn't a glare, but it certainly was not a simple glance. She stood firm and she just stared into my eyes. Without expression. After a brief pause, a moment of silence, she continued, "I just did that with my sister. You know how she likes to talk about people. Well, that's just what I did." I completely forget what Kathleen said just after that because suddenly a thought was triggered in my mind. I just had to blurt it out, right then and there, "You know I have this para that works with me, her name is Ellen. Ellen always says, 'God don't like ugly'." "That's it," Kathleen declared, "God don't like ugly! Don't you think this is a really good way to stop ugliness in its tracks?"
PROVERBS 26:
20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out and where there is no slanderer the contention grows still.
21 As charcoal for the embers and wood for the fire, so is a contentious man for causing a quarrel to glow.
