Comparing anything to a slave as being a good thing is anything but a blessing. Which begs the question, why didn't Jesus say anything about slavery being a bad thing? Or did he say something but his disciples didn't bother to record it? Either way the bible (the so-called "word of god") endorses slavery.

Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?
by Fisherman in“who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?” — math 24:45. according to jw, the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the jehovah’s witnesses religion..

Slavery is an awful thing. For a bunch of fools in New York to pretend they are some sort of "Faithful and Discreet Slave" is a very sick term to use. If you are using a book that endorses a detestable thing like slavery in any form as some sort of moral guideline, then there is something wrong with you. This goes for both literal slavery and metaphorical slaves like those in New York.
According to Wikipedia:
As of 2018, the countries with the most slaves were: India (8 million), China (3.86 million), Pakistan (3.19 million), North Korea (2.64 million), Nigeria (1.39 million), Indonesia (1.22 million), Democratic Republic of the Congo (1 million), Russia (794,000) and the Philippines (784,000).

Geehovah Dollars, maybe Watchtower can develop its own crypto. Remember when they had the meal tickets at conventions? You had to exchange money for these tickets which were then used to purchase sandwiches and drinks.

To me an activist is simply a rebranded word for troublemaker. This goes double for climate activist.

Are people being resurrected just so they can be executed?
I would call that overkill.

It's been a while since I've been to this thread. But, I thought they were divorcing.
The true love of money conquers all. There would have been a time I could have felt sorry for Dijana, but not any more. Hopefully the children learn from this and can live a good life when they're grown.

I do have a question regarding the "bunker," Lloyd and Tibor. Is Lloyd moving his wife, daughters, and in-laws out of the moldy house or just Tibor and him? I'm not surprised by the mold because improper building happened within the basement. You don't cover cement basement walls with absorbent materials like drywall and not expect something like that to happen.
I do think it is possible the mold discovery is a convenient way of saying he was evicted. One thing is for certain this year has been very costly to Lloyd. The multiple vacations, the apartment, a future studio, the loss of patrons, whatever he paid his lawyer for lawsuits that are going nowhere and who knows what else has absolutely impacted his plans to buy an island.

It also included so-called 'concubines,' which is another word for random woman you are not married to. As long as these women weren't married to another man, the Bible doesn't seem to have an issue.
I forgot to mention concubines. If Solomon can have 700 wives and 300 concubines, how is that not an open marriage? But then again, the bible is full of laws showing women are just property like this one.
If a man encounters a young woman, a virgin who is not engaged, takes hold of her and rapes her, and they are discovered, the man who raped her is to give the young woman’s father fifty silver shekels, and she will become his wife because he violated her. He cannot divorce her as long as he lives. - Deuteronomy 22:28-29

I said:
”Polygamy, as practiced in ancient Israel, was not an open marriage.”Vintage, it seems you (or at least your god) supports misogyny, because I don't see a difference. How is it okay for a man to marry multiple women, but not okay for a woman to do the same? If it is okay for a woman to have multiple partners, then how is that not an open marriage? Finally, you failed to answer any of my other questions.
Quoting the bible only proves my point. Marriage was set up by religion. You have not shown that anything in Genesis 2 is historical. Second, by making a distinction between polygamy and open marriage you are saying that it is perfectly fine for a man to cheat on his wife by marrying another wife. Would this be the same God being worshiped that established one man and one woman from Genesis 2? If open marriage is a sin then why did the God of Genesis 2 decide that polygamy is not a sin? Is it possible that your God is a misogynist? Then later did that same God decide he made a mistake and change his mind by the time the New Testament came along?
So your choices are there is more than one god represented in the bible. In which case, which god said what? Or the bible's God can't make up his mind. In which case, is your no longer perfect? Or is the bible just the creation of several Mideastern men and thus just the work of a religion?
Not looking to debate you on this, (especially in a thread about a man that I wish to expose as the lying and cheating jerk that he is) but if you were honest at all, you can see how flawed your position is by using the bible. Marriage is a construct of religion and is not unique to modern Jewish and Christian faiths. Now if you would like to argue that ALL religions are equally inspired by God, then feel free to make that case. -

Adultery as defined by the Old Testament is sleeping with another man's wife. Women are possessions (property) in the Old Testament. So are you saying it is okay if I marry another woman in addition to my wife? Also you are conveniently not answering my other questions.
