Ok, Im not sure why they think she was burned alive, as this was not even mentioned:
here is the story from the New International Reader's Version:
34 Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah. And guess who came out to meet him. It was his daughter! She was dancing to the music of tambourines. She was his only child. He didn't have any other sons or daughters.
35 When Jephthah saw her, he was so upset that he tore his clothes. He cried out, "My daughter! You have filled me with trouble and sorrow. I've made a promise to the Lord. And I can't break it."
36 "My father," she replied, "you have given your word to the Lord. So do to me just what you promised to do. The Ammonites were your enemies. And the Lord has paid them back for what they did to you.
37 "But please do one thing for me," she continued. "Give me two months to wander around in the hills. Let me sob there with my friends. I want to do that because I'll never get married."
38 "You can go," he said. He let her go for two months. She and her friends went into the hills. They were filled with sadness because she would never get married.
39 After the two months were over, she returned to her father. He did to her just what he had promised to do. And she was a virgin.
So that became a practice in Israel. 40 Each year the young women of Israel go away for four days. They do it in honor of the daughter of Jephthah. He was from the land of Gilead.
If she was to be burned as a sacrifice, she wouldn't be be mourning for her virginity, she would be mourning for her shortened life.
Just my conclusion.

Blondie,
Another great review, wow!
nvr, you read my mind.....I guess I missed WT rule while I was in....so if a man/woman leaves his/her JW wife/husband for another man/woman, (and they never have sex with a person of opposite sex) she/he are not free to remarry scripturally at all.
How fair is that???
Hey honey, I was with a horse on Friday night and a guy on Saturday and there aint a damn thing you can do about it. Get in the kitchen and make me turkey potpie!
LMFAO! too funny!!

Genesis 10:8-10 (in Context) Genesis 10 (Whole Chapter) - New Living Translation (NLT)
Since he was the greatest hunter in the world, his name became proverbial. People would say, “This man is like Nimrod, the greatest hunter in the world.”
Genesis 10:8-10 (in Context) Genesis 10 (Whole Chapter)
The tower of Babel was a rebellion against God instigated by the king of that city who was the ambitious Nimrod a man fiercely opposed to God and his worship and who was in fact aiming at enslaving mankind to his rule. God never approved of humans removing him from their lives and totally ignoring him. That tower (zigurat) was to be the centre of a system of worship in opposition to that handed down by Noah and that's its real meaning. That's where mankind abandoned God and has been paying the price to this day. Very soon the world became full of conflict, war, poverty, slavery, tyrrany and all injustice. Babylon came to be known as the archetypal enemy of God and his worshippers as clearly seen in Revelation.
Can you show me where this is so in the Bible? As far as I know, the ONLY translation that says Nimrod was in oppostion to Jehovah, is the NWT. Why do all the other translations describe Nimrod as him a mighty hunter before God, and nothing is mentioned of his opposition to God? Just the fact that God saw that the sons of men were building this city, and if they finished it, nothing would be impossible for them....so He then confuses their languages. A friend of mine brought this to my attention, so I thought I'd mention it....if you can find another translation that says that Nimrod was in opposition to Jehovah or the Lord, let me know... humbly, ~found
