  in numbers 31 god orders the isrealites to to attack the midianites apparently because hes fed up with them.. here are the points to consider.. 1) all the adult males are killed to begin with.. 2) the spare the women and children.. 3) god gets mad because they spared the women and children and he causes a plague.. 4) they kill all the females who have "known" an man by lying with him.. 5) the kill the male childre.. 6) finally they keep the females who have not known a man by lying with him.. here is a link to a site that discusses the problem in limited detale.. http://www.apologeticspress.org/abdiscr/abdiscr69.html.

  (if you have a link to a watchtower article that discusses the matter please post it.).

  after reading that explaination of what happened do you:.

  i used to post frequently here on jw.com, that was about 4 - 5 months ago i think, it was around the time when dateline had just aired for the first time, i rember that being the main hype.

  i left because posting on this board was eating up alot of my time.

  the topic of religion was so interesting that it became addictive and i would read posts on this board for hours.

  Voice your opinion- Organised religion.

  by jerome in

  my main problem with organised religion is when totalitarianism comes into play.

  thats when you get institutions like the catholic church in its earlier years.

  that should never be allowed.. jerome

  Question about WT study.

  by jerome in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i read a thread recently where syn was discussing a watchtower book study.. is it really true that they ask you the questions at the end of the chapter and make you restate the a few sentences directly from the few paragraphs that you just read as the anwser?.

  was syn neglecting anything of importance that would be needed to make a more accurate assesment of the situation?.

  because reading back something that youve just read dosent sound very challenging.

  Question:What do JWs hide from new converts?

  by jerome in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  one of the characteristics of a cult is deceptive recruting practices.

  i would like to ask some specific questions about the accuracy of information that i have gathered thus far.. 1) how much do the jws stress on the usage of theocratic warfare.

  in the field service?

  by jerome in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  can any of you posters provide some good links to anticult sites or articles.. i've been to ex-cult.org, fom.com and others but i need something more specific.. i was thinking about anything around the lines of an article explaining in detail any or all of the following:.

  1) how cults use decietfull recruting tacktics.

  especially how they put on a show for the new converts but only reveal the true doctrines/attitudes after the recruit is hooked;.
