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

  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.

  )"

  Matthew 19:4-6, "And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
  
  

  Matthew 19:7-9, They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery." (ASV)
  

  Not everything in the "Law of Moses" was directly from God.

  According to William Malenfant the serpent in the garden was a "she".

  on jw broadcasting malenfant's latest video, "do not be misled by the wicked" states (@ 4:30) "did it (the serpent) take a bite of the forbidden fruit and because of that was she allowed to gain this ability to speak?".

  where does malenfant get the idea that the serpent in the garden was female?.

  interesting, because malenfant, like the governing body, adds to scripture what is not there.

  Interesting, because Malenfant, like the Governing Body, adds to scripture what is not there. In scripture the one behind the serpent is always recognized as Male.

  Malenfant needs to get some faith under his belt. Jesus is the head of the congregation.

  i had this idea of topic when john aquila made me laugh in one of his post when he said : new light!the governing body has the right to have sex with all the new virgins that get baptized before they get married.. and then i've decided to open this topic to ask this (stupid but funny) question : if you was in the gb, what's the "new light you will want to fight for?

  New Light:

  The Governing Body will fall to Corporate Officers and Helpers.

  (Revelation 18:2) . . .“She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen, and she has become a dwelling place of demons and a lurking place of every unclean exhalation and a lurking place of every unclean and hated bird. . ."

  Even Jehovah's Witnesses for all their sins and corruptions, they could never equal the evil history of the Catholic Church.

  Acts 15... common decision making or peace treaty?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  acts 15, along with the fds parable, are the basis for the existence of the modern day gb.

  it is not difficult for anyone who is beginning to study the bible with jws to see this and be utterly convinced of the matter.

  even after learning ttatt i had a hard time departing from the idea that a centralized body of administration may have existed then and may need to exist now.

  James and the others held sway over the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem. It anyone could settle the question of circumcision for all the Jewish Christians is was only those taking the lead in Jerusalem, Jewish Christian leaders.

  Paul sought their support for his teachings, not their leadership. Paul was a man unto himself.

  What Would Happen if the Watchtower Loses Their TAX EXEMPT STATUS?

  by John Aquila in

  would it really affect them?

  how would it affect volunteers at any construction project since that work would now be taxable.

  any materials they buy would be taxable.

  Watchtower will not lose its tax exempt status in the U.S.

  Unless all churches and charities should lose their tax exemptions as well.

  Why would Jehovah and Jesus talk to Satan?

  by hardtobeme in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if satan is the greatest apostate there is, why he was allowed to be in heaven?

  job chapters 1 and 2 says that jehovah talked to him.

  wasn't jehovah supposed to shun his son and set an example to all parents?.

  Jesus did not shun. That was a teaching that came after Jesus.

  We can no longer support "religious freedom" says the ACLU

  I'm a Christian and I agree with the ACLU, the RFRA law is being abused. Priests and ministers have done a poor job of teaching their members. Belief is a private matter not a secular one. Christians who work at state or federal jobs should obey the law. Performing a civil marriage ceremony is like collecting taxes part of the job nothing more. Serving a customer is just conducting business nothing more. Christians should differentiate between the secular and the religious and be taught how to do so.
  

  From the Washington Post article:
  

  "Yes, religious freedom needs protection. But religious liberty doesn’t mean the right to discriminate or to impose one’s views on others. The RFRA wasn’t meant to force employees to pay a price for their employer’s faith, or to allow businesses to refuse to serve gay and transgender people, or to sanction government-funded discrimination. In the civil rights era, we rejected the claims of those who said it would violate their religion to integrate. We can’t let the RFRA be used as a tool for a different result now.

  It’s time for Congress to amend the RFRA so that it cannot be used as a defense for discrimination. Religious freedom will be undermined only if we continue to tolerate and enable abuses in its name." (emphasis mine)

  "Religious freedom will be undermined only if we continue to tolerate and enable abuses in its name," I agree.
