  would jehovah kill her?

  The patriarchal society....oldest adult male...head honcho...younger adult males, esp firstborn next...male children next stop on the totem pole...then adult women...female child the lowest in human terms. Whatever the story the female child had no rights. All they were to do is arrive at child bearing years and birth babies preferably male. In this story the female child never got to that highlight in her life.

  So what you're saying is that the Muslims have it right regarding their view of women. It's a godly "scriptural" view.

  The only thing that would happen is that the Fairy Tale would have a different ending -- in this case Jepthah's daughter might "live happily ever after".

  Robert Zick, a Jehovah’s Witnesses spokesman, estimated it could take two years for the group to finish planning the project and up to another four to build the complex.

  Zick was not readily able to say why the project had a six-year timeline, but he said the bio-diverse nature of the site might make it complex to develop.

  WTS/GB is planning SIX YEARS ahead into this old system of things.

  Reg, it sounds like you may have some serious problems that you would use some help with. I was an Elder for many years. Let me assure you that the Elders have NO training in how to help people who are facing serious issues!!! Life is complicated. Many of us have had marital problems, emotional problems, and problems in life from making some bad decisions. If you are facing anything like that -- Go see a professional counselor/therapist who has gone to school (University -- NOT "Elders' School") and is licensed to help with those things.

  Good luck to you!

  The Great Tribulation must be at least 3 years away

  since they’ve announced the dates for the next 3 memorials, no talk about this “may be our last one!”.

  since they’ve announced the patterson construction project will take 3 years to complete.

  let’s also not forget when they designed warwick, they spent money on expensive energy saving technology to save millions in the long run, years and decades in the future.

  He'll be voted out though for his ineptness, shenanigans and general weaken popularity.

  Now that's a sickening thought!

  Have you examined the other candidates?

  Dog help us!

  That’s a good point. Who would want to be on a cruise with JWs??

  Who would want to live in a world that's all JWs? How could that be "paradise"?

  I think JW's as employees are just about like any other group.

  Some are dependable and dedicated to doing a good job. Some are lazy and worthless and really just want a paycheck, NOT a job.

  I actually think the worst "group" might be any of the Bible-thumping Christians. They'll steal from you at least as quickly as the heathen they work alongside.

  Get 'em some puppies and hot cocoa.

  Evidently that helped the Ivy League babies who suffered through Hillary's loss.

  Around the nation, students are turning to the tools of toddlers as a bizarre form of therapy in the wake of Donald Trump's election last week. Colleges and universities are encouraging students to cry, cuddle with puppies and sip hot chocolate to soothe their fragile psyches, an approach some critics say would be funny if it weren't so alarming.

  “This is an extreme reaction from millennials who are being forced to come to terms with the fact that we have a president that they don’t like –this is what losing feels like,” Kristin Tate, the 24-year-old author of "Government Gone Wild," told FoxNews.com. “We are grooming our students to be sensitive crybabies when we need to be showing students how to deal with world situations and how to be adults –there are no ‘safe spaces’ in the real world.”
