Ever thought of going back...
by undercover in...and raising hell?.
i read a lot of experiences that so many went through while a jw...the judicial committee meetings, the verbal abuse from elders and pioneers, the intrusion into private matters, the list goes on and on.
i haven't had to endure some of the terrible things that some have endured, though there was always the constant counsel about grooming, music, movies, cars, etc.. sometimes i think, knowing what i know now, that if i ever had to go back for whatever reason, i could really enjoy being a thorn in the side of many of the elders and over-righeous zealots.

Phinehas executed a man for getting married...
by OldSoul init just dawned on me: the way an israelite got married was by taking a woman into his home/tent.
when zimri did that with a midianitess, he was killed by phinehas for it.
where was the standard set forth that they could not marry midianite women on pain of death?
