Someone is posting info about JWs on the thread, and has done so on previous threads where the opportunity has arisen.
'Someone' may ask posters here for good info to reinforce points should it seem appropriate.

IS JEHOVAH A PERVERT?

sometimes i wonder how something made it into the bible in the first place.... genesis 38, the story of judah and his daughter-in-law tamar.

background judah's firstborn son er was bad in jehovah's eyes, so jehovah put him to death.

genesis 38:6. so judah being the good father that he was gave tamar to his second son to have sex with and have children in the name of the fallen er... we pick up reading in genesis 38:9.

I'll be going out for my 'sunrise' walk in about 45 minutes (0600 local) and had planned to print and mail this en-route.
Any suggestions?

Thanks. This is my draft letter:
[personal address edited by request] Watchtower Bible & Tract Society 25 Columbia Heights Brooklyn New York 11201-2483 NY, USA. 29 July 2006 Dear Sir/Madam I have for some time been interested in your teachings and doctrines and have read a number of your publications. I have found them challenging and thought-provoking. I have just seen your ‘Watchtower’ magzine dated 1 st September 2006, and the article entitled ‘When a Loved One Leaves Jehovah’. I want to ask about some issues which this article raises and hope that you will be able to clarify some points for me. I should explain that I was a police officer for thirty years and have experienced the dreadful problems which can be caused by ‘broken families’. It seems to me from this article that the author equates leaving the religion of ‘Jehovah’s Witnessess’ with ceasing a relationship with God and/or Jesus. I am uncertain as to whether this was the intention of the article or merely an unfortunate implication. Perhaps you could clarify this. The overall impression I gained from the article is that if someone leaves the religion they are effectively isolated from their family. I am sure that this is not correct within your teachings, and that no doubt you will wish to correct this. It may well be that I have simply misunderstood. You will no doubt agree that particularly in these days of increasing numbers of ‘broken homes’ the love and example of a united family and the exhibition of unconditional love is a supremely important matter, and one which is fully in accordance with Biblical principles. I must confess to having been concerned by the implications of this article. I appreciate, of course, that sometimes articles may be included in publications which fail to reflect the true principles intended. This may be what has happened here, but I would in any case be grateful for clarification. You may wish to respond to my enquiry by e-mail: my address is [edited] . Yours faithfully [name edited by request]
I am open to suggestions for amendment.
