i don't read it as referring to prenancy only to infidelity. if she was innocent everything's ok. if she's guilt of playing the harlot then SHE rots from the inside and dies a painful death. death was the penalty for this type of offence under mosaic law so why just abort the unborn, why would't the scripture refer to the woman's demise. answer, because that is exactly what is refered to her rotting. no unborn is mentioned.

this doesn't sound like abortion to me. it sounds like if the woman was innocent she became fertile and bare children to her lawful mate. if she was guilty of fornication then she would rot or something on the inside. no seed(offspring) is mentioned until the last verses and this after the woman is proven innocent. so how can a woman have an abortion if she isn't pregnant?
to play devil's advocate, if she had been pregnant(it isn't stated just why the husband was jelous?(was her belly growing but then again that could be his fault))by another man her husband cannot provide for this child especially can he not provide an inheritance (every 50 years land had to be returned to the family that owned it within the mosaic law.also such offspring wouldn't be entitled to inheritance from his biological father because of illegitamate birth.
now, knowing that Israel agrred to the mosaic law and agreed to be bound to it and recieve both blessings and cursings according to their behavior i don't see what the problem is.

Does anyone here believe the Bible?
by sawthelight inive noticed many posts relating to evolution and i'm just wondering does anyone frequenting this board believe in the bible?
it seems that just because most have bad experiences with the wt that everyone here is an atheist.
i myself was something at least of an agnostic for quite some time after breaking free of the borg, but now i see things in a different light.

when you say Christianity are you talking about state regulated religions? i don't like these either. if your wondering what i'm referring to, it is the tax exempt gov't corps called religious organisations. in the USA they are 501c3 other countries have similar setups. these are not headed by YHWH but by the respective liciencing government. keep this in mind when examing the behavior of adherents to the these groups. the anlican curch headed by the ruling monarch of England is also the same as well as the church of ROme and any other state sponsered state regulated "religion"

you said
"Keep in mind, most people who believe evolution are people who believe the Bible as well. "i'll have to clarify myself
who here believes the entire bible?"Evolution says nothing about God or religion, either way. "
I wasn't asking what evolution says about god or reliion. i fact the word religion is starting to have some nasty overtones from my perspective.it's the bible im interseted in not any religion."Believers say that this is the means God used. So just because you see talk about evolution, it doesn't necessarily mean the poster is an atheist."
Genesis says everything was Created according to its kind. this is deffinitely anti-evolution.Please don't take this as a personal attack. i am just trying to clarify my position and clarify my original post.
again without discussing the tenents of evolution is there any who do believe the Bible (not a current religion)

Running for cover under that tree - big mistake
by LovesDubs inyes, i believe people are running wildly back to the kingdom halls because of the tragic events of september 11. i believe as victor stated, that their ingrained fear makes their feet automatically head in that direction because it gives them the false sense of security they need at this time.
but...running back to the watchtower is like running under that mighty oak in the lightning storm, thinking its broad branches will protect you from harm, when in reality it is the very thing the lightening seeks to hit...and will take whomever is under it with it when struck.
there will be a great influx for a while, and unfortunately for the society they cut off their year september 1 and so this great influx wont be noticed until january 2003s numbers come in.

i think the behavior can be summed up thus" you cannot serve both mammon and god"
the WT has choosen mammon by making merchandise of god's word, not to mention that today(sat), the biblical sabath is also the MOST profitable day of the week for the whores. -

So, is there anyone else out there with a similar mindset?
