Yeah - and two angels just sat there and let Lot offer up his daughters?
Dicks.
If you're a guest in my house and somebody wants to tear the place apart and sacrifice you or gangrape you or whatever, it's time to find my copy of the 2nd amendment and tear some crap up!
it was weird to hear it from my brother (an actual sibling brother, hehe) that an old man in their congregation, who was an elder as long as i knew him.
and a very kind, sweet, funny man, was disfellowshipped.
i woman in mesa, arizona whom i've known for over 30 years recently died in her mobile home.
83 years old and too poor to afford the added electricity of air conditioning on her $500/month social security check, she was found dead in her chair with a fan blowing on her.
It's sad. It happens a lot, actually - old people have a fan and it turns their little house into a convection oven and can drive the temp up to several degrees HOTTER than the outside temp.
So NOBODY in that congregation had an old air conditioner that they could have donated? Oh, but that would require visiting and making sure that the older lady was okay, and that would have taken time away from doorknocking and molesting kids.

Maybe he just got tired of living with a dub woman and demanded a blow job. "Take your teef out woman and gum it! Gum it, I say!" and when he hit her, she went to the elders, and he got diffed, not for hitting her but for asking for a blow job...
And I say the ten commandments are an irrelevant expense and intimidating to those of us that don't believe them, and have nothing to do with our law system. Ergo, they have to go.
gotta go to work soon.....but i've been mulling this one over and can't come to any logical conclusion(s) on my own, so i'm asking for yall's thoughts on the subject..... .
to begin with, from years ago, i've seen several persons talk about the probability of an illness or a possible catastrophe befalling them....only to seemingly "talk themselves into" being actually ill or the catastrophe actually befalling them.....i've also observed people, who are avid church-goers and bible readers, have "spiritual" experiences which actually validate their beliefs.....and i've read psychological info which proposes in so many words that things can occur in a person's life according to what they believe will occur.....that positive thoughts and actions attract positive outcomes and, likewise, negative thoughts and actions attract negative outcomes.....i have also had the experience from being in the borg and studying so much bible knowledge that it became too real and that what bible writers had written began to take affect in my own life for a while......but i also now see the obvious faults in what was written in the bible.....also, people who believe in buddha, voodoo or any other faith/practice seem to see the results come true for them as they are taught to believe the results will come...... .
so.....i'm wondering.....1. could it be probable that a person could contrive and believe and act on just about anything and see results according to what they have contrived to be true, acted on and believe?
Actually, there are technically enough nuclear weapons to either directly blow up or poison the human system.
Which is a thought that gives me the trembling giggles. If I had the Button, would I push it?
But cockroaches would survive. Which is a comforting thought, since it means I am living with the inheritors of the earth under my sink. I'm leaving them my Playstation in my will.
