Jephthah's Sacrifice of his Daughter - real or figurative "burnt offering?"
by B_Deserter in

while reading richard dawkins' book "the god delusion," he talked about jephthah's sacrificial slaughter of his own daughter.

i was utterly shocked.

after all, "my book of bible stories" taught me that he sent her away to jehovah's service, like a nun or something.

Consolation on Demand

i have a lot of consolation magazines that i could scan.. if you want a particular issue for research, tell me and i will scan it, and you can tell to the board more what are your research, so everybody will have more insight.. .

here is one of this magazine concerning the madison square garden incident.

this incident is connected with the olyn moyle's trial and it is interessant to see the vision of rutherford concerning this.. he tried in this magazine to excuse the usher, because what he said on stage was "the word of jehovah", so nobody must stop the "spreading of the word of god".
