the so-called 10 commandments are a post-biblical construct.... there is an elohist list at exodus 20 and a yahwist one at exodus 34 that contains such gems as "you shall not cook a kid in its mother’s milk.".
any intelligent adult could create a more useful list of ethical precepts before the end of a coffee break.. it is interesting to compare the satanic temple's seven tenets.
i think you might agree that it makes yahweh's rules look like they were written by a bronze age power-hungry, misogynistic priest.
I'm not sure you really addressed Coftys concerns on the slavery issue, Cold Steel.
It would have been within Gods laws to torture a slave to death. So long as the death doesn't immediately follow the beatings. Agonisng prolonged deaths of beaten and tortured slaves are sanctioned by your almighty God.
All good?
nope sorry i got nothing.. wouldn't it be really interesting though if somewhere there was a theist who could challenge unbelievers with facts and evidence?.
Our inevitable death leads us to theism. If we didn't have to die, very few would give a shit about God.
He organised a mass genocide. It ended with two sisters having their mother murdered, before they drugged their father and had incestual relations with him.
There is even more mayhem to this story.... if the father got his way, his daughters would have been screwed much earlier, without wine though this time. You see, he offered his daughters to an angry mob, the very mob God was set to wipe out in the genocide. It goes deep......
Evidently, this lesson is one of the deep things of Jehovah.
part 1 - protein functional redundancypart 2 - dna functional redundancypart 3 - ervspart 4 - smelly genes.
in part 4 we saw that roughly half of the 800 genes in the human genome that code for olfactory receptors are broken remnants of our evolutionary history.
they were vital to our distant ancestors but in humans, as in our primate cousins they have been allowed to fall into disuse as our eyes became more important to our survival than our nose.
It's a credit to Cofty how he never throws insults towards peolple who carry on like Clambake.
I would have suggested to that ignorant piece of shit that he go fuck himself on the Part 1 thread.
this one is worth repeating.
it was buried in a thread and u've been thinking about it all day.. a quote from mark twain, one of my all-time heroes.. "it's easier to fool a man than it is to convince him that he has been fooled.".
isn't that the truth....
Trust those who are searching for the truth, beware of those who say they've found it.
i've noticed that each wt lesson really only has one or two points they want remembered.
normally they build up to these by about the third subheading.
this week's lesson though was different, the main point was insidiously made through an experience in the first paragraph:.
All four children were baptised BEFORE the age of fourteen.
The fathers name is Andre.
this one is worth repeating.

hello and thanks to everyone for participating on this forum it has really been of much value, for those of you that post here know that your words are not lost you never know who is reading your expressions, lives are being changed and nonsense challenged.
i’m not much of a writer so excuse my untrained writing style and grammar but i want to share my story to help anyone who is visiting here to see that we are real people, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters who have come here for answers, there is no agenda, just searching for truth.
i hope my story will help others as so many here have helped me..
That was awesome you write like a weapon. Thanks for sharing.
I lost my Dad when young, and held hopes of seeing him again for 25 years. I was raised a JW and only woke up a few years ago.
every drop of breast milk has roughly 1 million white blood cells in it.
so the next time you see a jw drink milk or eating milk with his cereal etc.
you must run over and take it out of his/her hands and then give them a stern warning.
My wife is lactating as we currently have a 4 month old baby. I inadvertently consumed some breastmilk while enjoying a few intimate moments with her.
Can I still survive Armageddon and make it to the new system, or am I completely screwed?
did you know that job's family celebrated birthdays?
the word translated "his own day" at job 1:4 is the same word translated "day of his birth" in job 3:1. .
seems deceptive, does it not, to change that translation.
Jehovah has never had a birthday
+
Jehovah is a jealous God
=
All you people enjoying your birthday presents and a little song and getting your candle covered cake with your friends and family have got it coming.
Jehovah will not take this lightly he is pissed off with this birthday shit, not once has anyone considered his feelings and he is gonna snap.
