"Nor men kept for unnatural purposes..."

LtCmd.Lore

WTF is that about?

Good question...

You first have to define exactly what "unnatural" is.

1. Not in accordance with or determined by nature; contrary to nature.

A very important fact, is that humans ARE PART OF nature. So therefore anything a human does is, by definition, natural. Evidently that's NOT what it's talking about.

2. Not normal; not typical or usual or regular or conforming to a norm.

That could be anything. By that definition night-shift workers are men kept for unnatural purposes, because the norm is to work during the day. This would apply to Jews, homosexuals, blind people, retards, supermodels, english-speaking telemarketers and Jehovahs Witnesses.

Or basically, anyone different from the majority.

Thus I have to conclude that the purpose of that scripture is to promote intolerance.

I think it's better to just leave it at that. Let your imagination fill in the details. Whatever it was refering to, it doesn't sound very nice!

Sex Slaves???

PopeOfEruke

What about vacuuming, washing clothes, doing the dishes?

I think this scripture should be shown to every JW wife by their husbands so as to get out of housework.

Sex slaves?

What was the practise in the 1st century for keeping male sex slaves? Who did that?

And why didn't the men just run away?

franzy

these are men who are kept in secret rooms
to add unnatural ingredients to food products
that end up on our supermarket shelves.

Possibly, a catamite.

A catamite is the younger partner in a pederastic relationship between two males and was a popular arrangement in the ancient world, especially ancient Rome.

The word Catamite is derived from the Latin catamitus, itself borrowed from the Etruscan catmite, a corruption of the Greek Ganymedes, the boy who was seduced by Zeus and became his beloved and cup-bearer in Greek mythology.

Anthony Burgess starts his novel Earthly Powers with the sentence:
“ It was the afternoon of my eighty-first birthday, and I was in bed with my catamite when Ali announced that the archbishop had come to see me.

In roman and greek times, it was an accepted tradition. Up to just a few yrs ago, this was still carried on in afghanistan (but, not in iraq). All the more to invade afghanistan and not iraq.

My vote would be diaper changing. It quite often made me spew chunks therefore I interpret that as my body telling me it's unnatural.

Since dishwashers had not been invented, yet, cats also had to do dishes. But, not change diapers, since they had not been invented, yet, iether.
