  Bible's mention of physical beauty- why?

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for years, as i've read through the bible, i've wondered why bible writers were concerned about physical beauty (see references below)?

  i realize it's human nature to be interested in beauty, but why did they see fit to record in the so-called "word of god" the fact that some of the people they wrote about were beautiful?

  looks are not supposed to matter according to jw doctrine (and probably the doctrine of many christian-professing sects).

  The references to beauty make perfect sense if you look at them from the view of each book from the OT being a story.  Its just another way of describing the characters.

  during the holiday period one if my wife's brothers had planned a vacation in our area.

  they drove about 6 hours to a condo they leased for a week to celebrate their wedding anniversary with their married son and daughter.

  they called my wife to let her know they were coming to visit us since they were 2 hours away.

  hi, i'm a newbie around here.

  i've been reading the posts, but reluctant to step out of my safe zone.

  i definitely see how coming to a safe place to ask questions, vent, etc.

  Want to hear something funny ?

  my husband just won the city wide holiday light display for christmas i am so proud .

  just a few short years ago i was the one that put a strand of white lights around the porch railing ,and a couple of lighted deer in the yard ....that brought the elders around real quick (after three years of silence ) at that time my husband was still holding onto the notion his faith was not bond to a cult .

  it didn't take long after the 'loving sheparding call' for him to see things in another light.

  Your favourite dog breed ...?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social

  in an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.

  huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.

  this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.

  I think eventually numbers even in third world countries will stop growing, especially as even the poorest of countries are able to gain access to information via the internet.

  She is Going to Talk to the Elders About My Questions...What Should I Expect?

  by HeyThere in

  so one of my in-laws, a born in dub, started asking me questions about the issues i am having with the religion.

  so i told her, rather carefully, how i discovered all the child pedophile cases, went over some of the case details, explained it is occurring all over the world, so isn't just some random misunderstanding, but is widespread hiding of child sex u all abuse.

  she was horrified.

  You aren't baptised so they can't do anything to you.
