    This made me think, we hear so much about "traditional marriage" and living according to the morals in the bible, but marriage in the bible was quite different from what is practiced today.

    That's right Lisa. We have come along way.

    We husbands used to have multiple wives, too, but now women have become expensive.

    The fact that a rapist was required to marry her attacker is all the evidence a rational person needs to dismiss the Old Teastament.

    optional answer #2: or, men have become smarter. LOL.

    I wonder what would be worse: forced to marry your rapist? Or, forced to marry an Isrealite soldier who just massacred your entire family and everyone in your village/city?

    Please remind me again why Jehovah was superior to all other gods?

    LOL @ WT Free.

    .

    I don't know what's more offensive: the rule itself; or the fact that virgin rape was so common among "god's chosen people" someone had to make a law outlining the rules of the game...

    For the record, one "shekel" of silver is roughly the size of a silver half dollar, or five silver dimes, or around 0.38 troy ounces of silver. Which means a wife would cost you around a tub of silver--20 one ounce rounds to a tub. With today's ridiculously low silver prices, that is around 425 toilet papers.

    Joke-hova placing the value of a woman around 425 toilet papers? Anyone else moved to wish they would worship Satan instead, who places a much higher value on your soul? And does not treat women like toilet paper?

    We have been together for over 20 years, I have stopped asking

    her to marry me. LOL Both JW family members and Christian family

    members tell us we are living in sin.

    When we started dating I was still under the influence of the borg.

    I would tell her we should get married. She,why.

    Me, because it's in the bible. (She) who married Adam and Eve?

    (Me) God.

    (She) who was the best man?

    (Me) an angel.

    (She) where did he get the ring?

    (Me) OK forget the whole thing.

    I forgot to add, the little lady, submissiveness is not in her

    vocabulary, very independent, always speak her mind

    and I love her dearly.

    I can see her in the KH, Wives your husband is the head, Bull Sh--t

    and walk out.
