lot offerd his daughters up to the crowd but no they wanted the young men ,as they were good looking most of the crowd were blinded,yes, how would jehovah punish the elders of today connected to child abuse cases ,would they receive immediate judgment ,as jehovah showed back in soddoms history , or would jehovah ignore the abusers,without punishment and allow them to continue forever without punishment as the watchtower and tract society does today, .

The whole Sodom and Gomorrah story shows how inconsistant the bilbe really is. First of all, these two cities are brought to 'hovahs attention by a large outcry:

"and the Lord said'the outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave.'" Gen. 18:20

Where did this outcry come from. It couldn't have come from the residents as there were not 10 righteous people to be found there. Who in this day and age was able to judge righteous? There had been no commandments telling people what they could and could not do. Abraham was the only person God was speaking to at this time, and I've found no evidence of him witnessing outside his family.

So Jehovah sends two angels to take care of his business. When the men of the town see the two angels, they immediately want to have sex with them. So the one righteous man in town, to save his and the angel's asses, offers the townsmen his two virgin daughters. Nice father, huh? He's definately someone I'd want protecting me

So all the righteous people evacuate the town, before it all gos up in flames. Unfortunately there are no men left anywhere for Lot's daughters to breed with, so they both get the old man drunk and have their way with him.

So lacking any clear laws laid down by Jehovah, what we can conclude about sex and Sodom and Gomorrah is that homosexual sex with angels is definately out, raping or offering up of virgin daughters is fine, but incest is definately O.K..

Climbing the Walls

by Sargon in

i've been planning this for 4 months, well sort of.

the planning took 5 minutes the procrastination has taken up the rest of the time.

after 26 years of indulging, i've finally tried to quit smoking.

Thanks Elsewhere, i don't know why that didn't occur to me

Good advice LB, I know I can't have a beer for a while either... smokes and beer go hand in hand. The morning coffee is also killer. I'll try the brushing teeth thing next time I get a major urge. I'm not a big fan of gum or candies, so I don't have those to lean on. I hope I make the 3-5 day thing Lucy, I hear that the third day can be the worst.

Still trying, 40 hours now.

Were You Part Of a Divided Household?

jw
friends

were you treated differently?

were you shown more compassion?

Sargon

Was, still am. It's funny dealing with my witness family members, it's almost like being on the outside looking in. I retain closer ties with family members who aren't "in the truth".

I had my last smoke saturday when I went to bed. Yesterday wasn't toooo bad, but today I'd kill for a butt. It seems that everything I do makes me think of smoking, I've got to think of something to get my mind off this... any suggestions.
