It's so weird in the OT, what's the fascination with the foreskin?? Remember David
collected 200 of them.

Why did Jehovah want to kill Moses?
by Doug Mason inon the way, at a place where they spent the night, the lord met him and tried to kill him.
but zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched moses' feet with it, and said, "truly you are a bridegroom of blood to me!
it was then she said, "a bridegroom of blood by circumcision.

Were you beaten as a child?
by purrpurr ini've been confronting my mother with her dubious parenting skills (abuse) of me as a child.
particularly the beatings i would get with the wooden spoon.
not a light smack but hitting me as hard as she could for as long as she could.

Why haven't you been to the meetings?
by Zana insome cong-member asked my wife this question (in the street, stopping her on her bicycle) in a rather police-like fashion.
i wasn't there so i don't know her immediate reaction and response, but she got very upset afterwards and one day later this still occupies her mind.
i believe it's an emotional mix of anger, sadness, shame and guilt.. she doesn't like this intrusion in her privacy from some jws and on the next occasion she will try to make this person respect her boundaries (or just ignore her).

When I was ask years ago why I haven't been to the meetings, I told them I
have been reading the Bible and it has open my eyes, you should read it sometime.
The same answer I told my non-JW family members, why I stopped attending church
service.

it's fascinating to watch the different faiths throughout the world, the rituals, how devout the followers are.
mind boggling for sure!

No historical evidence for bronze age men living to 500yrs old?
by purrpurr inthe bible tells us that noah etc lived to 500yrs old as did many other characters who lived apparently to incredible years.. yet archaeological research tells us from looking at skeletons that have been dug up that the average lifespan was very short.
if a man got to the age of 50 they would have considered that quite an achievement.
when i was in i always wondered about this?

These goat herders believed their great,great great grandfather arrived in the new world
on a boat with all the animals in the world, and a world wide flood just a few years back.
So it's easy to see why they thought old Joe that lived over the hill was a old man
of 500 years.

Each month they celebrated their birthday....960 divided by 12=80 years, hell there were
no calendars 5000 years ago. I still get confused what day and year it is, especially since I'm
retired. You tell me without our watches and calendars, working five days a week, mortgage payment
due on the 1st you think you could figure out your next birthday.

See, the thing is that evolution just wants you to live long enough to pass on your genes in
greater abundance than your competition...within and beyond your own species. Once
you have kids that are themselves viable to pass on their own genes, nature doesn't care
about your existential against about death. You were made from dust, so hurry up and turn
back into dust again so it can fertilize a bush your ancestors can eat delicious berries from..
I like this guy and his outlook on life...LOL

be saved, trust me God is my witness before 1975 end if you don't become a JW you will be
burnt to a crisp.
And we still remain in the crazy organization after 1975 passed.LOL
