ithinkisee,
Alright ... I thought as much. I agree those scrips are pretty out there. For the record I don't have ANY problem with the scrips being there. I was just wondering if it was particularly a WT interpretation I was missing or if it was the bible in general. That's all.
One of the things that JWs claim is that the bible is the word of god, and that Jehovah is a loving god. They base their wacked or cruel actions on the bible, so it must be shown that many parts of the bible have no place in our 2005 world. Fortunately mainline Protestants, Catholics, and most Jews accept that slavery and mysogeny, accepted or ordered by the bible, are just plain wrong, bible or not.
Many people have only selectively been shown the "good" parts of the bible. IMO, it´s time the dark side of the force is shown.
By the way, I saw a Woopy Goldberg special yesterday. She really tore up some Leviticus's verses.
