  Captive virgins, polygamy and sex slaves: What marriage would look like if we actually followed the Bible

  by Captain Schmideo2 in

  a friend linked this on his facebook page, sharing:http://www.rawstory.com/2015/06/captive-virgins-polygamy-and-sex-slaves-what-marriage-would-look-like-if-we-actually-followed-the-bible/one quote that stood out for me:"granted, sometimes even decent people do get sucked into a sort of text worship that i call bibliolatry, and bible worship can make a persons moral priorities as archaic and cruel as those of the iron age tribesmen who wrote the texts.

  (i once listened, horrified, while a sweet, elderly pair of jehovahs witnesses rationalized the old testament slaughter of children with the same words nazis used to justify the slaughter of jewish babies.

  )"

  Exterminate thy neighbors:

  • Men only at other times. Women and children are plunder: Deuteronomy 20:10-18.

  • Everyone except virgin girls when the mood strikes: Numbers 31:17-18.

  • Take captive brides after killing their mother and father: Deuteronomy 21:10-14.

  How the Israelites treated their ladies:

  • If a single woman was raped, her rapist was punished by being forced to marry her, never divorce her and paying a fine to her father: Deuteronomy 22:28-29.

  • Women got their hands cut off for defending their husbands if they yanked his attacker's testicles: Deuteronomy 25:11-12.

  • If an engaged or married woman was raped she was to be executed if she failed to scream: Deuteronomy 22:23-24.

  • A woman had to prove her virginity or be stoned to death: Deuteronomy. 22:13-21.

  • A man could sell his daughter into permanent slavery: Exodus 21:7-11.

  Remember Going Out In Field Service Before Thursday and Friday's Heat-Stroke Convention at Dodger Stadium?

  i don't think the kids will remember going out in field service at your convention's city location helping the fiends do their territory.

  on top of the horrendous heat-stroke sitting at dodger stadium we had to preach earlier in the week!

  i heard some elderly witnesses speaking about "those were the good old days they thought" the grand old time they had while visiting the city of los angeles!

  I witnessed a bizarre situation at one of the Dodger Stadium assemblies. A mother and her child, exposed to the scorching sunlight, had umbrellas over their heads. The child's umbrella was completely transparent!

  In another convention also at Dodger Stadium I saw a person suffering from seizures being led out on a stretcher with a brush in her mouth.

  coalize: "One stupid question : what's Dodger stadium?"

  The sports stadium where I got baptized. In the 1970s they used to have conventions numbering up to 50,000.

  34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. - 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 New International Version

  ...................................................................................+

  4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. - 1 Corinthians 11:4-6 New International Version

  dubstepped: "Saying that nobody should answer their door for JW's if they have kids."

  I've seen news video of a JW pedophile knocking on doors. If I were an elder in his congregation I would ban him from doing any field service.

  On the Relevancy of The Institutionalization of Sin

  by Perry in

  2. beliefs

  child murder, sodomy & corrupting the human genome are not new sins, they are old ones.

  what is new is their institutionalization.

  but even that isn't totally new.

  How the new US gay marriage ruling could cause trouble for the WTS

  by sir82 in

  2. friends

  here are a couple of ways that come to mind:.

  -- suppose a married gay couple, or even one of the partners, starts studying the bible with jws and decides he wants to baptized?

  would the jws require him to get a divorce?

  LisaRose:
  

  "I don't see the point to attacking Nitty Gritty. He has kept the discussion civil and has a right to his opinion."
  Lisa, my original statement was a simple (and civil) question to Nitty-Gritty about his faith in view of the fact that s/he asked a poster if he was an atheist.
