Jehovah told to Moses: "....kill every woman who has had sexual relations with a man"

by opusdei1972 in

in numbers 31 we read the following:.

jehovah then told moses:2 take vengeance for the israelites on the midianites.

afterward you will be gathered to your people.3 so moses spoke to the people, saying: equip men from among you for battle against midian and to execute jehovahs vengeance on midian.4 you should send 1,000 of each tribe of all the tribes of israel into the army............ 7 they waged war against midian, just as jehovah had commanded moses, and they killed every male.8 along with the others slain, they killed the kings of midian, namely, evi, rekem, zur, hur, and reba, the five kings of midian.

rebel8: A loving god wouldn't wait for Iron Age humans to catch up to his perfect ethics and lovingkindness. S/he would take the lead by commanding them to do the right thing and teaching them why

This is exactly the point Fundies fail to see.

If their god is so loving, so superior and therefore worthy of worship, why didn't he/she raise humans' morality and higher consciousness rather than stoop to the same level as humans and perpetuate the problems that already existed?

"Historical context" is a lame copout to excuse the inexcusable.

Perry: This is a reasoned treatment of the subject.

I read nothing in your reference that came even close to being "reasoned".

Unless, of course, you're a fundamentalist Christian and throw all humanity out the window to support your dickhead OT god...then almost anything becomes 'reasonable'.

Business idea : Working out of a van. "Mobile Hymen stretching "

Wouldn't a stretch limousine be a better choice?

So you aren't an expert in economics, but we should listen to your explanation of economics and the Bible?

See...I told you rhodesboy is a Bethel Baby posting here on his lunch break. He has WT written all over him.

I welcome unwelcome grievances about theological topics. Again if you don't believe in welcoming unwelcome theological grievances don't waste my time.

Shunning Among the Shunned

by Quendi in

i wonder if anyone else has had this experience or know of others who have.

when i was disfellowshipped, i approached another disfellowshipped person after the memorial celebration and asked him over for some refreshments and conversation.

he turned down my invitation saying that the elders had told him that he could not even talk to other disfellowshipped persons unless and until both he and they were reinstated!

He turned down my invitation saying that the elders had told him that he could not even talk to other disfellowshipped persons unless and until both he and they were reinstated!

This is a common requirement of the elders. In order for a DF person to "prove" they are repentant they cannot associate with "worldly" people or other DF persons. Associating with these people apparently is clear proof the person still likes the world and does not qualify for reinstatement. Of course they cannot associate with JWs either, so they are in a very real sense put into 'no man's' land.

It is yet another example of how WT controls a person's life, despite the fact that WT itself no longer even considers the DF person a JW. It is beyond absurd.

It means that if a DF person wants back into the Org. they cannot have any friends, not even acquaintances, in their life.

"We Love You All Very Much"

by Apognophos in

i'm not sure if this has been discussed before.

you guys might recall that when the 2013 yearbook came out, the letter from the governing body ended a bit unusually:.

we love you all very much.

"We love all you children very much."

I think Splane means "we love children" in the pedophile sense of the term...

Love believes all things... Comment by a "Duke and Star"!! Today's WT!!

by DATA-DOG in

love believes all things.

what did paul mean??

he meant that if we love jehovah, we believe what we read in the wt magazine.

AndDontCallMeShirley

We would never read a WT lesson and say that it was in error, or doubt what we read

So, the "ancient worthies" were resurrected in 1925 and Abraham is the ruler of New York City? And Armageddon came in 1914? Good to know those things came true just as WT said they would. I never doubted for a moment.
