Does this mean the WTS is Pro-Choice?
I don't know. Verse 18 says the child was 7 days old when it died.

45Great QFR, really stupid answer from WT
by erynw ini originally posted this topic under "deuteronomy 24:16 vs 2 samuel 12:14" (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/142118/1.ashx).
it was suggested i retitle and repost it as my title did not really convey what the topic was about, so here it is again.. i was looking at who incited david to take the census, satan or jahooba (2 sam 24:1 vs 1 chron 21:1).
anyway, i was searching the wt 2006 cd and i came across this qfr that has nothing to do with what i was looking for, but i could not believe what i was reading.

Erynw, I TOLD you this was one of the BEST worst statements ever! I feel like printing the actual article, putting it on the hall bulliten board or epoxing it on the front door or or in the bathrooms on the inside of the stall door, (hey could put a lot of stuff there just taped up and I bet pubs would take it in secret).
keep em coming...oompa
You sure did! I'm glad more folks are getting to read it. Thanks for suggesting I retitle and repost it.

hey hey hey you're not getting me this time Deaconbluez is at it again and is just posting under his friends name RIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT??????? cause this is by far some of these sickest crap i ever heard from them. i hope that reader left the org after that answer. IP_SEC that was my exact reaction!!! notice how they even say after that well the baby would have died anyway along with his mama if she had been stoned so...like...2 reasons why it's ok...like whatever.
Nope, I'm not Deaconbluez. The part that also bothers me is the last couple of sentences. Basically, who are you to question God, he can do what he damn well wants and doesn't need to explain why it's contradictory. Unbelievable!

I originally posted this topic under "Deuteronomy 24:16 vs 2 Samuel 12:14" (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/142118/1.ashx). It was suggested I retitle and repost it as my title did not really convey what the topic was about, so here it is again.
I was looking at who incited David to take the census, Satan or Jahooba (2 Sam 24:1 vs 1 Chron 21:1). Anyway, I was searching the WT 2006 CD and I came across this QFR that has nothing to do with what I was looking for, but I could not believe what I was reading. THIS has to be one of the most inane "Reasonings" from the scriptures I have ever read. This is from the 8-1-1960 WT, QFR:
How can Deuteronomy 24:16, which says, "Children should not be put to death on account of fathers," be harmonized with the fact that the offspring of the adulterous relation between David and Bath-sheba died due to their sin, as shown in 2 Samuel 12:14?—J. B., U.S.A.
The law, as stated at Deuteronomy 24:16, shows that fathers were not to be put to death for their sons nor were sons to be put to death for their fathers. In man's administration of justice each was to die for his own sin, and not drag innocent relatives down with him. In this particular case of David and Bath-sheba neither of them had a right to the child and so there was no injustice in their being deprived of it. Besides, as an uncircumcised, unnamed infant it had not as yet developed any personality pattern or consciousness so as to appreciate life. Then again, Bath-sheba could have been stoned to death for her adultery, in which case the unborn child would also have perished. However, as previously noted in The Watchtower, David was shown mercy because of the Kingdom covenant, which Jehovah had made with him. Nevertheless, to drive home the fact of Jehovah's displeasure he let the child die, which was a very severe blow to King David. Two similar instances are recorded in David's life: One was in connection with the death of Uzzah, who tried to steady the ark of the covenant; the other was the destruction of tens of thousands of Israelites because King David presumptuously and proudly determined to number the hosts of Israel. (1 Chron. 15:13; 21:1-27) Such records as these magnify the supremacy of Jehovah God and underscore the words: "He [God] doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?"—Dan. 4:35, AS.

ERYNW--IMOP this thread is so interesting you should re-list it with a subject line that fits. The one you have is really funny, since only Bible Geeks would even open it up, only to find the subject has nothing to do with the scriptures.
good stuff....oompa
Thanks for all of the wonderful kudos from everyone. I will repost it under a different title or can I just change the title of this one? I can't post another topic for another 19 hours though. I tried to change the title but got an error.

Guess I should have highlighted the last sentence as well. Basically, the answer is "God does what he damn well wants".
