  Graven images is one translation of a text that was written thousands of years ago in ancient language, so I don't want to argue semantics. Besides, I don't believe in fairy tales anyway. =-) Edited because I said 'Fairy Tails' and I meant 'Fairy Tales.' Two totally different.

  Right Right. The snake was just some hoodoo witchcraft to scare off some snakes. Now it makes total sense. I totally disagree about the snake not for worship. all of those who were commanded to look at the snake by Jah were saved? sounds a bit like worship to me.

  So I totally get the points you guys are making. However it still feels flaky given the context the top 10 put around images.

  Hummm. I'm sitting here watching the history channel (Digging for the Truth -Great show.) Anyway a thought just occurred to me. Moses climbs the mountain gets 10 commandments etc etc. One of those commandments being "You shall not make for yourself any idol." Now, I'm thinking to myself (yes there is smoke coming from my ears), 1. Couldn't the Ark be considered and idol? It certainly was revered as only a few could look at it. 2. loads of folks we killed when they created a Golden Calf, However... 3. Didn't the good lord instruct Moses to create a bronze snake? aka graven image-ish? There are much smarter people here that I claim to be, so maybe I'm missing something.

  my husband and i visited with an old friend who is about to be disfellowshipped and guess what he told us:.

  car groups regularly drive by our house to check it out.

  an elder said he saw ... gasp ... a christmas tree this past christmas (which he had to have snuck a look through a side window because our front windows always have the shutters closed!.

  this afternoon i heard on national public radio that poet/songwriter patti smith will be inducted into the musical hall of fame later this week.

  an interview with terri gross from 1996 detailed her early life as a jehovah's witness.

  she spoke respectfully of the jws and her memory of her mother and father and early family life, but spoke candidly that she did not like the teachings and restrictions and never felt she fit in.
