Hello Friends - here is a new area in the Kids section of the JW website - Learn how to draw Rahab.
1st - She was a prostitute of Jericho. Could there be other characters to talk about with our kids?
2nd - It says "learn how to draw Rahab". Excuse me, but do we have any photos of Rahab? Do we know what she looked like?
3rd - The drawing below looks like a Disney character. -- I don't think Rahab would have looked like that.
4th - Where did she get that hairstyle, and who is her stylist?
I remembered during the book study and Watchtower study, adults would elaborate on drawings of Bible characters: "Looking at the picture, Festus was..."
Never mind these weren't photographs.
Rahab, Jael, Jezebel, there are just sooooo many great female role model/stereotypes in the Bible to choose from where do you start.
London111 - YES - it happens all the time, as if they were real photographs of real people!
And the stories people make up when talking about them - OMG! It is so saddening that so many treat them like more than just illustration.
AND!!! Why are all ancient people in JW media of all types ALWAYS SO WELL DRESSED AND GROOMED!
These are people who had NO scissors to cut hair, and almost NEVER bathed, and were in dust ALL THE TIME!
Today they would not allow Rahab in the Kingdom Hall!
What idiotic stuff.
Why not draw Mary? Deborah the judge!!!
You know why they elevate Rahab ( she comes up a lot in various WT studies) ?
In the original story, she used subterfuge to protect certain Israelites - JW.org want to imprint on children's minds - that subterfuge is good, if it protects their people.
Ancient scriptures such as Rahab are accounts, not examples to follow of living.
Then maybe we can draw Lot and his incestuous daughters?
Or play a game that teaches kids just how Abraham attempted to kill and burn his son.
Thats "wholesome family values" right there!
What Rehab looks like
Ohhhh. You said Rahab.
Never mind.
Rehab the Harlot. Come on lads, somebody must be able to draw a lady of the night. How about a nice artistic drawing of a suitably (un) dressed woman showing her wares. Then get the kids at the KH to copy it, tits and all.
