  "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over."

  (numbers 5:23-28) 23 and the priest must write these cursings in the book and must wipe them out into the bitter water.

  24 and he must make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and the water that brings a curse must enter into her as something bitter.

  25 and the priest must take the grain offering of jealousy from the womans hand and wave the grain offering to and fro before jehovah, and he must bring it near the altar.

  leavingwt - speaking of pot, one would have to smoke monstrous amounts to even begin to grasp just what the fackery is going on here. Are they describing some sort of ancient abortion procedure here?

  Bungi bill - use it in health, my friend.

  Cheez! I always tell my children that they have a chloroform-soaked rag and a bored, complacent mother to thank for their existence.

  Nomad - Possibly. Who knows? Why not. If the priest is already all up in her naughty bits, why not seal the deal. I like how the Hebrew Scriptures always speak about sex as this soulless biological act akin to pollen fertilization. Where's the passion?

  J. Hofer - That sounds typical. There is so much that is conviently "left out" of those stupid Bible study "aids". Imagine having to explain to your bible study how they should be worshiping a loving God who wants to pump a woman's nether region full of "magic water" so her belly swells and her reproductive organs dissolve. That would make an interesting episode of Cheaters, wouldn't it?

  bohm - I'll say this much. Not that I believe this nonsense, but let's just for the moment say that it's true. At least God actually did give a visible, idiot-proof sign of HIS verdict. Unlike the judicial committees of today, where they seem to just roll some 12-sided D&D dice to seal your fate.

  (Numbers 5:23-28) 23 “‘And the priest must write these cursings in the book and must wipe them out into the bitter water. 24 And he must make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and the water that brings a curse must enter into her as something bitter. 25 And the priest must take the grain offering of jealousy from the woman’s hand and wave the grain offering to and fro before Jehovah, and he must bring it near the altar. 26 And the priest must grasp some of the grain offering as a remembrancer of it and must make it smoke upon the altar, and afterward he will make the woman drink the water. 27 When he has made her drink the water, it must also occur that if she has defiled herself in that she committed an act of unfaithfulness toward her husband, the water that brings a curse must then enter into her as something bitter, and her belly must swell, and her thigh must fall away, and the woman must become a cursing in among her people. 28 However, if the woman has not defiled herself but she is clean, she must then be free from such punishment; and she must be made pregnant with semen.

  Anybody wanna take this one and run with it? What in the wide world of sports is going on here?

  Is there a reason to remain a JW other than for family?

  this strikes me as an important question.

  in my short time on this forum it strikes me that many contributors are quite open about keeping a foot in both camps.

  some are apparently even elders, serving in positions of authority within their respective congregations.

  I can empathize with those who have a desire to exit, but cannot yet see a way out.

  That's why you da man, donny.

  A quote to brighten up your Monday!

  "once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing.

  that was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of "world history," but nevertheless, it was only a minute.

  after nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die.. one might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature.

  I would have thought that Solomon was the original Hef. What with the thousand concubines and all. That's big pimpin!

  Thanks, Serenity. You're right. it's none other than the original Triple OG, Solo-MAN!

  According to an elder I knew, we wouldn't have genitals. Seems like something I'd have a hard time explaining 'newly resurrected ones'.

  Yeah, King David (the original Hef) will wonder where all his 1,000 "bunnies" are.

  

  "Wow, it's good to be bac... Hey! Where are all my girls??? WTF???"

  Sept. 15th WT - Burdened with Earning a Living? Here! Have MORE Burdens !

  as if the other sept. 15th wt thread i started weren't controlling enough - in another study article titled " run ..... that you may attain it " were you aware that just eating and wearing clothes on your body - might be a " stumbling block " to you ?

  in a prior article on pg.

  12 , paragraph 6 the wt society sets up what they are trying to get across by stating, " people of the world tend to seek personal interests first as " men of this system of things, whose share is this life.

  What up my cetacean ally?

  This article invoked something that is on my mind. I don't know if this is on-track or not (if not, I apologize) but the part of that WT article that rants about putting material needs in their proper places, yada yada makes me think of many super-wealthy JWs I know. These men have estates (I've been to them) complete with outdoor hardscape porches with $7,000 Viking ranges and koi ponds with fountains as big as my car. Their FB profile picture show them riding horses in large open fields they own or sitting in their beachfront home they own in the FL keys or even riding around in their 60-ft yachts (I've seen all these pics too, lest someone think that I'm exaggerating). Now the irony here is that some of these men are high-ranking elders in the circuit, even giving special "instructional" talks at that stupid MS school they forced me to go to. And if you mention (and I have) anything about their sheer wealth and opulance in a negative light, you are immediately shot down by any one of their 4,000 fans who will defend them as "spiritual men".

  soooo.... my question here is if indeed they are as devout as they claim to be and as pious as they present themselves, in accordance with this article, shouldn't they give all their money to the WTBS to "further kingdom interests" and make due with a 1 bedroom apartment and "sustanance provided by Jehovah"? You know, "put their money where their mouth is"? Like, literally? I can't but help think of that rich young ruler who supposidly approached Jesus. He couldn't part with his wealth, so he was out. I don't know, it just seems to me that the behavior of many wealthy super-devout JWs actually seems hypocritical to me, especially in light of this article.

  Yours in Cthulhu,

  What Miz said. Except the doctrine stuff. But that may be due to the fact that I'm reading The God Delusion right now.

  My public talk on sunday

  i am currently preparing for the public talk on sunday and as i was looking through the outline some these thoughts just keep popping up my mind that in the face of several allegations and numerous scandal, wbts has not stopped claiming to be god's organisation, i am wondering if they will ever realise that their strategies are no longer appealing to the general public.

  regrettably, they keep on publishing and printing using victims of mind control hazards to the detriment of over 7 million rank and file members and spiritual illiterates in the society.

  i keep on pondering on how long this malicious activity would continue.

  Point taken Mr. Falcon, but you have to admit the suspicion, when makes comments as he did in his openly comment.

  Do people know really know what personal integrity is........good grief

  Ya'know what, thetrueone? I went back and read his opening statement again. I think I see what you mean now.
