Cobalt nailed it. Indoor plumbing!

Here is the set up. The explanation, is that bad things happened on those 2 days, and all scripture is inspired etc... This is besides the charge that primitive Christians didn't celebrate their birthdays which I am not even sure is true.

Anyways, there are only two mentions of indoor plumbing in the bible. Eglong (sp?) was a king that was super fat. One of Isreals judges ran his sword into his belly until he couldn't see it when he was on the .....err.....throne.

Moses mocked a false God during the test in the valley, saying he wasn't answering his prophets because he was "in the privy".

Thats it. A false God in the pooper, and a fat bad king that Jehovah killed through a judge BOTH with indoor plumbing.

That is why I dutifully dig a hole in my yard.

Being fat ~ Eli died because he was too fat, fat bad king, Jezebel was fat too (or not?). The JW should all watch their weight, may be shunned if they are fat

Hey FC, actually there was a WT about a year ago that made a bit of that connection, albeit with a tender touch. I believe it had to do with gluttony.

If the celebration of birthdays is wrong BECAUSE in the scriptural accounts ONE person died at each of two such celebrations, would it not be forbidden to give (wedding) presents???

(1 Kings 9:16NWT: "(Pharaoh the king of Egypt himself had come up and then captured Ge'zer and burned it with fire, and the Ca'naanites dwelling in the city he had killed. So he gave it as a parting gift to his daughter, the wife of Solomon.)")

JWs should dress like ancient Jews. Sandals & fringe on the bottom of garmets. Long locks and beards. It is a biblical command.

Ah, you've caught on, label licker. When hubby protests that's too silly, I can tell him there is a church that is following the bible commands closer than the Jehovah's Witnesses!

We watched a TLC episode of Breaking Amish and he was so conflicted. Here's a poor girl where most of her teeth were pulled by an untrained brute in her compound (worldly dentists be damned), in ill-fitting dentures. A lovely secular dentist did all the work to give her a nice smile. The episode would flash a scripture, and hubby would say, "that is true", and then he would look on in horror how that was literally played out in these young people's lives.

He was pretty quiet by the end of the show.
