You mean that Jephthah duaghters was to be sacrificed, like killed?
I always thought that it was to do some type of lifetime service for the temple or something.
Why have I never been told this, how do I know that it is true now, where is the proof?

Just sent off a email to him stating that our only option was to contact the media EARTHWIDE to let them know of his view regarding child exploitation and to reconsider before it is too late.
Anyone have a thought on creating a media pack ( email) with pertinent info that can be sent to the Media here in the USA and other places with the hope that someone will pick it up?

Could this info be sent to Media outlets in the USA, UK, Australia etc with the hope of getting some heat put on the guy in charge over in Australia?
I would think that sending a email to him directly about our concerns and also letting him know that we are sending info to the Media about his thoughts to dismiss these charges so he can not paint himself into a corner too much.
I would be glad to forward some info to the media if I could get a synopsys of the ins and outs put together that would get their attention.

If You Were Ever An Elder...
by Henry inwhat about the responsibility of being an elder did you dislike the most?
i served from september 2003 - june 2006. there were two things that bugged me the most the first was i got sick of the bickering amongst the body.
we had 7 elders and in nearly every situation, big or small, there was some division that got personal.

When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, “Oh no, my daughter! You have brought me down and I am devastated. I have made a vow to the LORD that I cannot break.”
( quietly, under his breath, Jepthah ask his assistant "How was that, was that over the top a little, did you think that she bought it? Really cause I can add more,.. no, okay great then, let's see how it plays out"

The gun is the SHUN: the JW's who no longer believe but cannot leave!
by Terry inthe insidious bind the watchtower religion places on their members is unconscionable.. holding family and friends "hostage" as an extortion strategy may be their most potent weapon of enforced conformity.. .
in effect, like an armed criminal who points a gun at you and threatens "your money or your life", the watchtower leadership.
holds the power to separate dissenting members from those whom they most cherish.

Wow,.. straight to the point there Terry, awesome.
Makes you think seriously about DA especially when you have kids to raise.
My wife and I were just talking (fading) about the Memorial etc and our families reaction. I'm like what are we teaching our kids if we go, that we still believe it's the truth, just not string enough to go the rest of the year.
I keep mentioning "All I'm worried about now is the kids, how will the way we handle "X" affect the kids?"
I now see it harder and harder to try to play both sides.

More anti-apostate rhetoric from the Watchtower - are they running scared?
by cedars inyes, the may 15th watchtower is now available for download from jw.org.. the final study article, on page 26, directs another salvo at apostates - and warns witnesses not to try arguing with them on the internet:.
indeed, we ought to move as far away from wrongdoing as possible and not see how close we can get to it without being overcome by sin.
for instance, we need to guard against succumbing to apostasy, a sin that would make us unfit to glorify god.

I remember seeing somewhere that there was an article in the past that basically said that the only thing keeping us (JWS) from killing Apostates was due to the current laws of man since they forbade it!!
Now if you get this weird JW that thinks he would be doing GOD a favor by actually killing a apostate then what do you do with a person like that? I mean we all know that there are some crazies in there, right?

SO they are saying that Satan was somehow directing these attacks?
OR that the Mulims were somehow looking to Kill the GB and they had advance knowledge many months or years that they would be there at that moment?
I'm assuming that they are thinking (term used lightly) that it was Satan trying to kill them, the human part on their own REALLY does not make sense at all.
So if Satan could find out the date and times of where the GB would be, WELL in advance, (they hijackers had tickets right) then why could not Satan just fly 4 jets into the Offices of the GB on any Wed when they are having there meetings?
Oh,.. I just thought if a reason for this not to be concievable to the Witnesses. Because if they did it on WTBTS property only, the world would now know that they had the true religion and everyone would flock to the WTBTS for wrong reasons so Satan had to do it the way he did and the 3 other jets were just a distraction to help muddy the water.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense. I think if I were to hear that stuff coming from a CO mouth, I would have had to get up and walk out right then!!
