It just occurred to me that Jehovah's witnesses are the only "bible based" religion
(I will not call them Christians...more like Jehovahians) that I've found that
recognizes Lot as a good person.
I remember growing up reading about Lot and his wife in the "My Book Of Bible Stories".
A couple of years ago while studying the bible on my own...I read about how after Lot
and his family (except the wife ;) ) escaped the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah;
he fathered children by his OWN daughters!
Here is something that I pulled off my Watchtower CD rom.
**********
What losses Lot and his daughters sustained! The girls had to leave behind men
they were going to marry. Lot was now without his wife and his material wealth. In fact,
he was eventually reduced to living in a cave with his daughters. (Genesis 19:30-38)
What had looked so good to him had turned out to be just the opposite. Even though he
had obviously made some serious mistakes, he was later called "righteous Lot."
(2 Peter 2:7, 8) And surely Jehovah God was not to blame for Lot's mistakes.
-Watchtower 11/15/92 page 14

Here is what the full verse says at Gen. 19:30-38 NWT
30 Later Lot went up from Zo'ar and began dwelling in the mountainous region, and his
two daughters along with him, because he got afraid of dwelling in Zo'ar. So he began
dwelling in a cave, he and his two daughters. 31 And the firstborn proceeded to say to
the younger woman: "Our father is old and there is not a man in the land to have
relations with us according to the way of the whole earth. 32 Come, let us give our
father wine to drink and let us lie down with him and preserve offspring from our father."
33 So they kept giving their father wine to drink during that night; then the firstborn
went in and lay down with her father, but he did not know when she lay down and when
she got up. 34 And it came about on the next day that the firstborn then said to the
younger: "Here I lay down with my father last night. Let us give him wine to drink
tonight also. Then you go in, lie down with him, and let us preserve offspring from
our father." 35 So they repeatedly gave their father wine to drink during that night
also; then the younger got up and lay down with him, but he did not know when she lay
down and when she got up. 36 And both the daughters of Lot became pregnant from their
father. 37 In time the firstborn became mother to a son and called his name Mo'ab.
He is the father of Mo'ab, to this day. 38 As for the younger, she too gave birth to
a son and then called his name Ben-am'mi. He is the father of the sons of Am'mon, to
this day.

Notice how they gloss over what Lot really did with his daughters in the cave ;)
Kind of how they gloss over the molestations in their congregations.
It all makes sense now....maybe this is why child molestation is an accepted and protected
practice in the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society!
What a grand opportunity to join the ranks of "righteous" Lot and his Sodomite friends.
I guess this isnt to much different than the Taliban and their 70 virgin reward for
sacrificing there lives to Allah.....only the JW's get to enjoy there prize while they are
still on earth.
Given the current world situation and all the perv's out there...hey, this just might be
the thing that attracts the millions that they need to recruit to fulfill the "Millions
Now Living Will Never Die" prophecy. Of course those millions are in there 80's now.
Ewwwwww!
I think I'm going to go and throw up now!
