i had long held the piece of the jigsaw puzzle which starts at genesis 2:4b – the yahwist’s creation story.
i knew that its authors had never heard of lamarck’s theory of evolution, nor had they read darwin’s “origin of species”.
the authors were addressing their own immediate culture, so i had to transport my mind to their times.
Guys,
In this forum was a member named Leolaia. She was a researcher and posted interesting topics. One of them is related with the topic you posted, about Asherah and snakes.

Hi Aaron, hope we can share the same academic experience. I'm also a psychologist and earned a Master degree in Applied Educational Research. One of the topics of interest is the influence of religion in the field of academic education, specially in K-12 in my country. I will look forward to your contributions and research.

2 pioneers of the opposite sex.
the brother is in his mid-20s, sister is in her late 20s.
both are alone in car as the only 2 out in field service.
sorry for the wording and misspelling, Diogenesister; actually you need to smoke some weed to dance in such occasions. LOL!!

In one case, the daughter of a well-known elder in the city (the family was known as very spiritual) was planning her weeding. It is accustomed that during weeding the couple choose young brothers and sisters to participate in the weeding dance. I was one of those young brothers. Then one day, all the plans for the weeding were cancelled suddenly since the couple "ate the sandwich before lunch" as we say here.
Three years after that incident, a brother, son of a other well-known spiritual brother and family, got married. After six months, in a newspaper note and headline appeared that the brother was kidnapped, since his wife went to the police to make the report. A month later it was discovered that the brother was hiding from his wife and was living with another sister (daughter of the first well-know elder in city of the first case). Both were df'd and reinstated two years later. Now he is an elder and she is a pioneer.
An single older sister (friend of my family) told us (me and my wife) in secret that she knew that a lot of brothers (MS, Elders, and CO) had affairs with lot of sisters. Even she was banging three brothers in the same time. I have heard a lot of cases of pedophilia, pornography, bestiality, and other stuff in the congos.
so as some of you know i have a podcast called this jw life.
i put my story out there in 9 parts, and i've had lots of great experiences so far and met lots of nice people and i've made new internet friends, even some in person.
this last seven days though has been soooooo cool!.
Good for you and excellent work you are doing in helping people to wake up from that cult!!! Hope you can write your story in the newspaper.
why did jesus supposedly cast the demons into a herd of pigs?.
(matt 8 / luke 8).
and, how were there so many demons inside one man, that when "released" by jesus, it took a whole pack of pigs to contain them??.
I was reading this article, about some of the possible origins of the tale about the demons and herd of pigs. It is possible that this account got an influence from the Phoenician Heracles-Melqart tales. A very interesting article:
