Are there any instances of "GOD" order and/or condoning the rape of women in the bible?

this came up recently with my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother, who swears up and down that there are no scriptural instances of this happening.

i seem to remember a couple passages, but can't remember where they were..

Vidio - my brother - you must remember Dog made allowances for his people because they were Stiff Necked.

Jehober was showing love allowing innocent women to be raped.
He is a Dog of Justice afterall.

JW Acumen & Education = NO VALUE IN THE REAL WORLD

by Black Man in

having been out of the cult for a few years now, i can finally sit back and accurately access the good, bad and the ugly, especially as it relates to education and having a sense of self-worth and realizing your potential.

in my opinion, religion is a total crock, but at least in some religions there is at least some value that you can translate your experiences and education gained in such into the real world.

for example, the mormons have their own accredited university where you can obtain a degree and you can actually put that down on your resume and use it in the real world.

ttdtt

Remember there were talks and perhaps an article going around years ago, that being on the Theocratic Ministry was like being enrolled in a college course?? Or that reading the Watchtower and Awake magazines was akin to getting a university education??

I know it was so crazy - they only people who could really think that's true - where people who had NEVER gon to college or university.

JWs Demonstrating against the Demonstrators

by Listener in

the organization never ceases to amaze.you've got to see this video for yourself so i won't say much about it.

i wonder if this practice has been endorsed and sanctioned by the governing body and if we will see more of it in the future.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbuxbx1ktci.

Disturbing.

2 groups of Cultists battling each other.

Religion is poison.

I have heard "brothers" expound on how going to the KH is like like getting a Harvard Degree the education is so good. Even when I was "in" I thought that was a joke, especial since usually they could barely speak in complete sentences. (of course elders all).

What you get from sitting in a meeting like the TMS that you cant ever graduate - nor be thought sufficiently to speak on your own at a door, is a false sense that you actually know something.

The whole JW experience leads people to this: The Dunning-Kruger Effect.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which relatively unskilled persons suffer illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than it really is.

Also it was common for Israelites to take captive women as wives and concubines.

Thats pretty much Legalized Rape.

why isn't the boston globe doing a better job covering this group?.

after all, the movie spotlight won an oscar about this paper and their groundbreaking journalism into the catholic church covering child abuse.

Wow did the WT just submit that article for them with an envelope full of money?

This is the paper that broke the Catholic Church Scandal?

AWAKE! NO. 5 2016 - Did Jesus Really Exist?

by ttdtt in

so again we go to the quality of evidence used by the wt.. you can read the article here - https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/awake-no5-2016-october/did-jesus-really-exist/.

you see the wt refer to experts with quotes.

as is usually the case the credentials are not represented, just that they are experts (so take their word).

How many COs talked about "worldly churches" serving up fast food spirituality.

This isnt even that - its the "free sample" from the chinese stand at the Mall Food Court.
