    purrpurr: Just as a bit of fun then... What would jw's be like if they obeyed every rule in the bible?

    There would have to be separate seating in the Kingdom Hall for men and women just in case one of the women was menstruating. The Bible commands men not to sit in the same chair as a menstruating woman. This would also create problems for going out in field service in the same car and, as well, the women would have to sleep on the floor once a month.

    Leviticus 15:20

    "Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean.…"

    The women would not be able to braid their hair, they wouldn't be able to wear gold or pearls, and they would have to shop at WalMart.

    1 Timothy 2:9

    "Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,"

    Since Jesus said the identifying mark of true Christianity would be love, I think they would have to change from the ground up.

    Just the thought of all the changes needed would make the top of the GBs heads explode.

    In general they do cherry pick Old Testament laws to their convenience like many fundamentalist Christians who condemn gays based on scriptures but ignore other scriptures like the ones found in Deuteronomy 22:13-29.

    Hey Village idiot, you used an oxymoron for your illustration. Deuteronomy 22:5, revise and constant your point since gays would have been condemned under this mosaic law of the deuteronomist.

    You forgot to tell your audience what revision of Christ sacrifice was to the mosaic law that became impractical such as cutting someone’s hand for stealing, cutting off someone’s penis for masturbation, blinding someone for desiring a woman or a man’s wife, cutting off someone’s tongue for lying, being stoned to death for adultery, being hung for fornication, etc. You know, little things like that.

    The same impression the RC had when it came time to understand why most of the mosaic law was abolished, but has yet to be accepted by Jews and Muslims. But if you people want the mosaic laws brought back to your respective countries, far be it for any rational person to intervene or stand in your way. Remember in ancient times they were placed to define clean/unclean acts for the purpose of purity, by an individual, family, town, gods house, etc., collectively. In modern times we’d all be failures.

    Mark 7:20-23

    Romans 13:8-10
