another one in similar vein demonstrating dark strains in the OT.
What about Judges 11v 31.
Judge Jepthah offers his daughter as a sacrifice for victory in war.
Probably the Witness Bible nambypambies with the language, but the King James Bible describes her as "a burnt offering"!
Made to Jah.
It doesnt say anything about her "virginity" being sacrificed to Gods service.
Surely a "burnt offering" can mean only one thing.

Has anyone heard this about Bethel?
by Mindchild inplease tell me if i'm wrong about this.
if i'm not, i'm actually pretty shocked.... we all remember reading in the bible how israel once became rampant with sacred prostitution and the worship of phallic images.
although there is evidence that these phallic idols were widespread, it is difficult to realize just how ubiquitous they were because of the way the texts were translated.

Inspired! only you could have done it.In the way that irony works this surprises me not at all.
Of COURSE its named after a giant DICK. What else could it be
considering all the (symbolic) mental ejaculation taking place there.
Its like the "Watchtower" name also.
Syrely this is connected to the famous "Watchers" of "dark' writings. -

Actually I mentioned before that I was guilty of two of the things listed,The 9volt battery thing was one, except I didnt do it MYSELF. I made my little kid brother check. Does that count?
The other was pulling the Christmas cracker, except it wasnt a cracker,not too sure if that one counts either...Lol
