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

  by Black Man in

  2. friends

  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..

  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?

  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.

  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.

  Funny how in the WHY DOES IT MATTER section - it fails to mention how Jesus (dogs right hand man) will come down on his nice horsey and slaughter 7+ billion innocent people.

  Wonder if they they that would not be a big selling point to normal people?
  :)
  

  I like this "benifit of jesus" coming.

  The earth will fully recover from its present sick state and produce bountiful crops.
  

  SICK STATE? Based on what? COMPLETE and shameless BS!!

  The world produces 1.5 times the amount of food needed for the 7 billion people on it?
  If thats sick - I will take it all the time!

  Michael Grant - born 1914

  William Durant - born 1885

  Rudolf Bultmann - born 1884

  Albert Einstein who was as much an expert in jewish history as I am - born in 1879

  Is this the best they got?

  It's like quoting Fred Hoyle on the Expanding Universe.

  Again - this article presents NO evidence!

   Having No Political Opinion Is Bull Crap

  hello, i'm ame and after such heartwarming feedback last time from my other topic sharing my current situation, i felt the urge to just share an experience of mine that accrued a few weeks ago.. i was at mcdonalds with my mother and little brother, eating our food and in the background was the news playing on the tvs they had in the dining area.

  and what were they talking about on the news?.

  gun control.. now, i love the news.

  Sweden. Guns are illegal in Sweden, but yet they have a higher crime rate than america.

  So you are trying to draw a comparison between Guns and Crime - you should draw the comparison between Guns and Gun deaths.
  If not your argument is the same as what the WT uses for Evolution (miss direction and a false question).

  Gun deaths in Sweden per 100,000 people is 1.47
  Gun deaths in the USA per 100,000 people is 10.57

  The USA has a 7 times higher rate than Sweden.

  Also the USA has 112 guns per 100 people where Sweden has 31 guns per 100 people.

  So your point on that doesn't make sense.

  By the way - check out Australia - it is a .93 x 100,000 and they used to be a country that had loose gun laws and changed all that in the 80's

  God does not desire any to be destroyed?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so if the idea is promoted that god doesn't want anyone to be destroyed, why does he make it so confusing for people to learn about him?.

  why are there thousands of differing religions?.

  why has "his only true organisation" even taught so many varying doctrines?.

  You know if god really didnt want people destroyed - how about giving people a book that could not be interpreted 1000 ways by 1000 people, or one that actually makes prophecy easy to understand and recognize, or why not state something in there that would be indisputably be from someone who created the universe (the circle of the earth is the best you can do?)

  Or better yet - how about a Booming voice from the sky in every language saying - hey little ones - i'm god - please do this that and the other thing.
