for those who feel that i've hijacked your thread(s), i'm still relatively new here, so your forgiveness (based on this acknowledgement and apology) is appreciated.
i'm posting this link, http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/131766/2343640/post.ashx#2343640, on the other threads as soon as i can.
bear with me as i attend to the necessary housework involved.. fred/q..
Ok, here's a REAL question for you Fred,
Why do you come here?
You obviously will never listen to anything anyone says to you, and nothing will sink into that fully indoctrinated, controlled by the society brain of yours,
So WHY ARE YOU HERE? There must be other forums where you can talk to people who actually agree with your views, instead of making fun of them.
I am thinking that maybe you are a masochist...why would anyone subject themselves to this kind of treatment on purpose?
check out google's new free tisp, incredible brain trust there!.

I wonder what TiSP stands for?
From what I remember, you were more than willing

my 1st email and question:
(salutations)
Jeremiah,
your email did not sound bitter at alll....
I am sorry that she thought that, but you can tell that she loves and misses you very much....
They cannot answer your question, but hopefully you have planted a seed of doubt in her mind
Wish you all the best, jeremiah
hi all, especially the scholars amongst you ;)a .
i was listening to richard dawkin's talk at lynchburg va and he was tlaking about how horrible the god of the old testament was- and he mentioned this: .
that when jeptha's daughter came out (and jeptha had promised god he'd sacrifice the first thing out of his house) that he had to sacrifice her as a burnt offering.
Not even mentioned??? Not in the verses you quoted no, but then again you left out this very important verse? (Maybe you missed it, but methinks you deliberately chose to leave it out 'cause you didn't want to deal with it.)
[30-31: Then Jeph´thah made a vow to Jehovah and said: "If you without fail give the sons of Am´mon into my hand, it must also occur that the one coming out, who comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Am´mon, must also become Jehovah’s, and I must offer that one up as a burnt offering."]
That's pretty straightforward: "O did I say 'burnt offering'? silly me, I acctually meant that I would send her away to work for you..."
Heck, then why was Abraham so disturbed when god said: "Take, please, your son, your only son whom you love, Isaac, and make a trip to the land or Mo-ri'ah and there offer him up as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall designate to you." I guess that whole burnt offering = something else, was just a common mistake back then.
OOOPPPPS, my bad!
that was a BIG oversight on my part, not a deliberate omission....
I was basing my conclusion on the scriptures quoted...
I am totally open to either conclusion, that she was killed in a burnt sacrifice or that she was spared and had to live out her life in servitude.
I am not a JW apologist, and never will be...just to clarify...
