That was beautiful Size---very accurate.
Ditto.
Sizey is under-appreciated here.

The true, unsung hero of the Bible....
by Unlearn inmy undisputed hero of the bible is known by several names, depending on who you talk to...devil, satan, lucifer, etc.. read it, and you'll find that he was the only one who really stood up for you.. he asserted that you could make decisions for yourself...and told you the very real truth that, just because the piece of meat in your chest stops thumping, you positively do not 'die'.. he was your hero.
he stood up to a daddy-maniac and said, 'just because you made us doesnt mean you have the right to tell us what to do.
i thought we were free?'.

As for the prodigal son story, if a person truly loved their brother, they would just be happy that their brother had returned. Forgiveness granted, no conditions attached. Mercy and forgiveness, rather than an account of past wrongs. I think that was the point.
I'm sure love would win out in the long run. But his immediate reaction was critisized in the Bible. And I still feel he was justified in being disappointed and pissed at younger brother.

That is Lot's wife, not Job's.
LOL
Tammy's right on that one.
Job's wife is the ultimate in bad wives. Amongst JW's for sure.

I'm actually considering starting a bible fanfiction thread where we tell bible stories from a different POV.
I like that idea.
Did you see my post about Job's wife here? When you look at things from her point of view, she's not the bad guy.
Same for the older brother in the "Prodigal Son" thingy - younger brother asks for his inheritance early, pisses it away, returns destitute and now gets half of older brother's inheritance, too.....Who would'nt be pissed off at younger brother?

It would be nice to win $5,000 a week for life but I think they are fraud or something.
by Iamallcool ini have seen $5,000 a week for life pch sweepstakes advertisement on the internet from time to time.
is it worth it to sign up?
i have signed up few times in the past, it is not worth it because they want you to buy something even they say no purchase necessary.

Maybe it's time I just left this place.
Noooooo.....everyone is just paranoid and suspicious right now. That's the spirit that's been fostered here lately, and I'm positive it will dissipate now that the instigator of that spirit is gone.

Ya, sorry Tal-love, but you're losing me, too....
Not comprehending all your points.
Chappy, again - please keep talking. I'm listening. I'm following your train of thought and it's making sense to me.
That, along with some other things I'm currently reading - this whole episode is becoming crystal clear to me.

jgnat posted this on the other thread, I thought it was interesting:
The source: http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol12/iss1/art18/
From that paper in part,
" Wherever a Western polity has been established that separates religion and politics, fundamentalist movements have sprung up alongside it in protest. Whatever the politicians or the pundits claim, people all over the world are demonstrating that they want to see religion reflected more prominently in public life....they experience the incomprehensible change as profoundly disturbing, and cling to traditional religion for support..."
I'm just reading the rest of the article now.
