what was it in the evolution of religion that got them so hung up about what people do with their genitalia?.
i mean, the (mis)use of genitalia is up there with murdering another human being in terms of badness.. and in the 21st century, we have a situation where in the jw religion, it's deemed as acceptable for three middle aged/old men to sit a teenage girl down and ask her the details of her use of her genitals.
to any normal person this is intrusive, completely inappropriate and bordering on deviancy.. why they so obsessed?.
religion is kind of an ornament, so is sex. The varied uses of Ws & Vs., seen as a heavenly gift, was a natural to make it a subject of religious control by all.
question:
when you were "in" was bedtime for you a two prayer event? thanks be fore play, and after?
disclaimer: while this may be a sensitive topic to some, i don't wish to offend anyone.
please don't turn this into a political discussion with name calling and yelling.
i can see why the borg hates higher education.
sheep are dumb? remember, the anointed are sheep too, just not OTHER sheep, , dumb enough though, to take the talking snake tale seriously, but smart enough to use it to lord it over.
as the op states why would israel /jewish nation need to have an army at all ?
if they were the chosen people as the bible states under a theocracy , why would the men of israel need an army .?
to protect them ?.
the key word is old testament. clearly we have Jewish people, so they made it into the present. The old testament is a story, like little red riding hood, with talking animals.
commenting on the story's script: To keep the "universal sovereignty" issue suspenseful, "god" has only selectively interfered. the swords at eden, flood, babel, firstborn, joshuah's stopping the Earth's rotation, --so:
Just in case full participation by god is not in the offing, arm yourself, even with horses;- even against instructions, if you are wise.- as Solomon.

sexuality is the currency of evolution, passing on your genes, selfishly, so: controlling that was controlling life, the business of the so-called divine.
i go to a hall (very rarely) with a single cong of about 60 people in a small city of maybe 10000. our board of elders is a bunch of childless weirdos or at least the ones that make an effort.. they recently changed the sunday meeting time from 10/12 to 1/ 3. a number of us are pissed off.
its makes to hard to drive to the city or go to a football game.. i just know the gestopo elders behind the change.
if your life isnt as miserable or pointless as theirs, they arent doing their job.
1-3 is siesta time, snooze time, a double whammy to tune out the wt channel. Is the Cobe awake?
Pon: "It's time to be realistic.
For most of the readers here, WT doctrine was the biggest factor in their lives, just after the "short skirts" thing. so, making fun of it, is a great way to cure that malady, jehovah's trumpet style. I thought the Thread title about the wall was a joke, at least an invitation to joke. Normally I close my contribution by ending with a reference to the talking snake source of all things biblical, should have done it here.
It is time to be realistic, have a good laugh about wt, expose their doctrinal error -their feet of clay- it is another great day.
If any of our participants here are from Berlin, they would have gotten the gist. Under both the Nazis and the Commies, it was very risky to criticise, let alone ridicule the ruling regime, but the galgenhumor was a cottage industry. so, DJS, if you did not get the satire, you know the reason how people like me survived both dictatorships, we can sting without the object of our mirth knowing it on the surface, , or daring to react. both nazis and commies are gone, can the prophecy panderers be far behind?
PS: I guarantee you the even the wt conductor will not catch a BS comment like this in time to kill the mike, and might only realize after a night sleep, that he has been had.
i wanted to take an objective look at satan in the story of creation.
this is not meant to offend those of you who are still christians.
i'm agnostic btw.
PZ: "We were always told that eventually Adam and Eve would be allowed to eat of the tree of life.
A&E were invited to eat of all the vegetation, including the prominently centered tree of life right from the beginning, with the exception of the tree of knowledge. there were not two forbidden trees, nor a hidden tree. perhaps A&E were later, after a period of abstinence (good obedient doggies) allowed to eat from the knowledge fruit. Clearly the animals ate of that wisdom tree, scientist study them all the time, to copy the amazing bionic capabilities. May be that is how the snake got to be able towalk and talk?
the usa, claiming that the usa supports freedom, has often supported revolutionaries/dissenters in other countries.. some examples:.
currently, the syrian war commenced circa 2011 in the so-called arab spring.
it is claimed that the usa supplied weapons to anti-government forces.
Mexico is preparing to give special help to it's illegal immigrants in the US through ii's many consulate branch offices. Weapon help is hardly needed in the US, the "open carry" center of the world.
But the idea of battles in the streets between migrants and local authorities is not far fetched. read the german news sites. Police is attacked on a daily basis, will not enter areas controlled by migrant parallel societies. Cross border migration is legal in Europe, not North America. the scene of the world is changing, not for the better.
a letter was just read at my midweek meeting that georgetown (canada bethel) will have renovations done on it beginning spring 2017. the letter asked for publishers who are electricians/plumbers/etc.
and in good standing to apply to help out.
those helping out will be considered "part-time commuters" and will only be at the property for about 3 days a week and must reside outside of bethel and pay for all their own expenses.
well, we had specialists going to bethel, but reading this letter , including invitation to ask the local elders for approval, across 4 time zones from cape spear to tofino seems to be only an invitation to support with funds. funny.
