Terry,
Thanks that was excellent research. I was trying to convince my mother that JWs are false prophets so now I can show her this evidence. SHe still thinks that they are the most correct interpretation of Gods word even though she is not one of them. She doesn't like false prophets she equates them to people like Mohammed. Maybe this will do it.

Which massacres did Jehovah sanction?
by Spectrum inthe ones i'm familiar with are from the repercussion of the rape and murder of the levites concubine.
judges 19-21 .
about 100,000 died in battle then all the towns of benjamin were put to the sword as were the people that didn't join in against the benjamites.

MuadDib,
I give way to your superior knowledge. It is true that without Byzantine logistics and supplies they would all have perished before they got anywhere near Antioch and perhaps likewise the Persians going the other way centuries before. But did the Assyrians need such sophisticated logistics given Palestine was relatively near? If Assyria was an empire surely it had a good sizable stock of soldiers? -

abaddon,
" Until a child is born the child is the mother's. If a man has sex with someone he gives up rights to those chromosones until they are born. Any other way infringes the woman's rights in an unsupportable fasion, reduces her to breeding stock, slave, chattel."
That sounds extreme to me. The mother is the custodian of the 46 chromosomes if you like. If the father wants the baby, the life of the child takes priority over the woman's right to choose death. This doesn't reduce the woman to breeding stock or chattel status but recognises the father's right to have his child. So what if it is in the woman's womb? When women want a child they can't wait to get that sperm inside them and put that womb to good use. When the father wants to keep a child, suddenly, "it's my womb I'll do what I want." -

Brigid,
Pressure from society on idividuals to comform to a certain standard is sometimes good. It gives society homogeneous moral values and a consequence everybody knows where they stand.
The flip side of the coin is, the people that cry from the rooftops choice should be a fundamental right for all won't be there to guide a young girl that on her back about to get impregnated by some spotty teenager. They won't be there when she has messed up her life or at least her youth to carry her through the turmoil. They'll be on these stupid talk shows saying the same old same old about freedom to do what you want whilst teenagers buy these simple appertising values and get suckered into drugery.
I therefore don't agree with your following statement
" But if we have to err, I want to err on the side of choice. I'm sorry but it's a woman's body! I don't think that men can ever know how fucking creepy it is to think that a group of people who have never brought a child to term, gone through painful (PAINFUL) childbirth can make decisions over your personal health."
The women should never have the right to an abortion if the father wants the baby. She carries the baby, she is not the God of the baby. -

Has anybody ever had lentil filled roti? It is exquisite. But must be home made, none of the restaurant foolishness. -

MuadDib,
Are you sure about those numbers being incorrect?
The Persian in 480BC sent about 200,000 soldiers some all the way from Persia to fight the Spartans.
The 1st Crusade amassed 100,000 on just the Christian side and moved them over 2000 miles over hostile arid territory whislt fighting one battle after another. The Moslems matched those figures in some battles. The Christians completed their goal in just three years. Some say it was a miracle. I couldn't believe they made it. So outside chances do happen.
So if you didn't know the story of this Crusade but read it in a book by some obscure writer would you use the same sort of analysis you did on the Israelites and Assyrians and come up with, "these armies are unsustainable and the stories are over cooked to make the crusaders look like super heros, it's a fairy tale?" -

blonde, ok and brunette jokes if you know any
by Spectrum ina guy walked into a bar with a crocodile and announced to everybody, "i bet you $10 that i can get the croc to open its mouth put my head in then withdraw it without losing my head.

on getting some bets in, he took a heavy glass ashtray wacked the croc on it's head with full force, the croc opened it's mouth the guy put his head in and withdrew it safely.

Kid,
"After sitting on his holy ass for thousands of years, he finally decides to "make things right" by slaughtering all the humans who chose to "follow" the "devil" option versus kissing his ass (while he stands idly by doing nothing). The absurdity of this premise is vomit-inducing and anybody buying into this crap needs years of psychotherapy and or antipsychotic medication."
So I guess there's no way you two are going to make up!! -

Legolas,
"There’s nothing that the Bible likes better than a good, old fashioned, smiting. In fact, the Bible writers liked killing so much, that sometimes, they couldn’t restrain themselves from killing the same people several times."
