i am too tired to find mine right now, but it involves men laying in wait to attack and rape sisters going to dance at a circuit assembly.

i think the purpose was to find even more wives for the tribe of benjamin.

great plan god.. ot stuff always weirded me out more than nt stuff, until i found out we have a totally fraudulant nt version, compete with the name jehovah spuriously inserted 237 times, along with many other spurious verses.

Bryan you're referring to the story of Lot. He was in Sodom (maybe Gomorrah), and the angels came to get him out of there before God destroyed the cities. When Lot took them in as guests the townspeople told him to bring them out so that they might "know them" i.e. have sex with them, so Lot being the good host that he was offered his virgin daughters to the mob instead of his guests.

Here we go:
Genesis 19:5-10 (New International Version) New International Version (NIV)

5 They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."

6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7 and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof."

Genesis 11:6 And the Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

Got that from Wiki I dunno what the translation is. Even when I was a witness I didn't like it. God preventing man's progress just because? That's just not right.

hello, i just wanted to introduce myself to everyone here - as i will be posting here.. i grew up a jw and pioneered, was a ministerial servant, ect, i was in the organization for 17 years.

i left and naturally my family did as they were told and cut off all communication with me.

this left a horrible taste in my mouth for not just jw's, but any religion for that matter.

Do You Feel Dysfunctional

by freyd in

did jw's make you that way, or did you just fit in?

and did they give you purpose?

SacrificialLoon

Purpose? yes. Fit in? not really, still don't feel like I fit in anywhere. So I suppose I do feel dysfunctional.

my favorite all time episode is the tennis/j peterman incident where kramer is walking across the tennis court and a racquet goes flying and hits a machine and kramer gets pelleted with tennis balls.

another really good one is when newman smells kramer basting on the roof and starts seeing him as food.. .
