It's not the fault of the people who believe it but those that teach it. False religion teaches people nonsense and since their flocks know nothing about the bible, they don't know how to reason such teachings from the scriptures. Anything that doesn't make sense, like this subject or the trinity, they're told that's where faith comes in. To them faith is not based on evidence, it's your willingness to believe anything that makes no sense or that you can't explain from the scriptures.
I remember reading an article in the catholic encyclopedia about whether or not Mary's himen was ruptured while giving birth to Jesus. They concluded it was not therefore she remained a virgin after givng birth to Jesus and of course for ever after. That is the nonsense false religion spends it's time trying to figure out then teaches it's members who figure, "well, they're the educated ones, they must know."
Really though its not any different today than in Jesus day when you couldn't where sandles made with nails on the sabath because the extra weight of the nails constitues work while walking. False religion has always made fools of people starting with Eve.

You do know you can get pregnant without breaking the hymen right?....

Silly people..

you realize Snoozy that this post has Nothing to do with ME. It is a copy and paste from the Yahoo group e-mail. AND the point of doing so is to show how they look ascance at others while not realizing they are exactly the same. Don't jw's teach nonsense. Don't they insist on the agreeing whether they agree or not. Don't they delve into every nuance of teachings that make one ask the questions, why this subject and say what??? when looking at thier conclusions.
The post has nothing to do with my conjectures on hymens. I just felt that it showed to the nth degree how blind they are.
By the way, I read the info from the catholic source as the hymen would be ruptured by child birth, not that it means anything.

Blind, yep. Would this mean JWs don't need faith because all their beliefs are "reasoned from the scriptures"?

LMAO!
Btw, did you know humans aren't the only mammal that has a hymen? I didn't know that until a couple weeks ago.

Well, I have to now. Are you sitting down? I'm pretty anonymous here so I feel comfortable sharing......... I wiki-ed it, lol!
I was thinking one night about virgins and fornication and the Bible and my first time and I thought, wait are humans the only ones who have hymens? What purpose do they serve? I still don't know what purpose they serve, there's speculation though.
Whales have them too. And...I'll leave you with that...
