  28 if a man happens to meet a virgin girl who is not engaged and he seizes her and lies down with her and they are discovered,+29 the man who lay down with her must give the girls father 50 silver shekels, and she will become his wife.+ because he humiliated her, he will not be allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.

  " -nwt 2013 revised edition.

  was just on the thread about lot and his messed up family life and was reminded of another part of the bible that made me feel physically sick the first time i read it.

  Implied, Confused,

  You wanted her that badly, you will either marry her and pay by staying with her or you will pay her father a goodly amount because you've diminished her worth.

  Either way, the man paid.

  Served him right!

  That's right.

  Marry her and pay, or don't marry her and still pay.

  I'll bet that cooled many an amorous male's ardor.

  Genesis account shaken!

  by exWTslave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  people who believe that every verse of the bible is inspired are in for a shock.

  according to genesis account, god created heavens and the earthin a one-time act.

  but an experiment conducted at the south pole, two weeks back, has caught ripples in the oldest light in the universe.

  The same way I pick and choose what makes sense any place else, by examining it critically.

  Please don't worry; I'm not preaching any message; I'm not looking for converts, either.

  I, too, feel sorry for those who think everyone has an ulterior motive for simply expressing a viewpoint.

  Ohhhh, JGnat.

  Now, you've made me .

  In 1970, one of my favorite sisters did a play based on that song.

  She would have made a superb actress.

  I'm posting because I believe some of the stuff in those texts.

  I'm posting beause I've received pm's from quite a few expressing appreciation for learning about those things.

  I'm posting because I'm finding answers to questions that have concerned me ever since I learned to read the Bible for myself.

  I'm posting because neither the WT nor the churches are telling all there is to be told.
