Are there any instances of "GOD" order and/or condoning the rape of women in the bible?

by Black Man in

jw
friends

this came up recently with my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother, who swears up and down that there are no scriptural instances of this happening.

i seem to remember a couple passages, but can't remember where they were..

EverApostate

Rabbi Midge, your Holy books are part of the Bible.

Do you mean to say that all the massacres , ethnic cleansing, slavery , rape , Pillage in the Bible are not literal but Symbolic ?

An incredible video worth watching

by UnshackleTheChains in

for those of you who are dissillusioned jehovahs witnesses, but still have a love for god, his son and the bible, i urge you to watch the following video.

the lecture given by sean finnegan will help you see things more clearly as a christian.. personally, this has to be one of the best presentations ever given and now know my christian identity.

the answer is given in the video.

EverApostate

Without seeing this Video I can say that this one would try to build false hopes based on a bundle of lies and ignorance. (Bible)

The beneficiary would obviously be the person doing the preaching. (Get rich from donations, what else ?)

Sorry, I am not biased here but lost all my hope and trust in religions.

i got the latest memorial invite on my door sometime today.

i work from home.

between the time i drop the kids at school and pick them up, i was here.

EverApostate

Memorial or Holy communion or whatever they call.....

A Cannibalistic Ritual, Instigated by the supposed Jesus and observed by WT in a more ridiculous manner.

The earthly resurrection pipe dream

by Sour Grapes in

i woke up this morning thinking about when my mom died about 10 years ago.

she was an avid jdub and was confident that she would be resurrected to an earthly paradise petting zoo.

if i would today go to my mom's house and because god brought her back to life, saw her sitting in her favorite chair, would she really be my mom?

EverApostate

Resurrection, Reincarnation, after Life, Soul never dies, Heaven, Hell, Angels, God, Satan - All a package of Lies.

Rabbi Midge, are you seriously defending the Biblical events ?

conversation with a JW about the sun

by neat blue dog in

jw: didn't we just hear somebody say that the sun's gonna blow up?.

me: well, they were saying that it will expand and eventually burn out.. jw: but it can't do that, it just keeps blowing up inside and getting more power.. me: well, they were talking about stars in general, how they have a life span.. jw: but god didn't make it that way, it's firmly established to time indefinite.

it's not like the sun is a regular star.

EverApostate

Jah would replace our sun with a new one - when it depletes - in another 4.5 Billion years.

Just hang on as JWs, to witness that in your eternal life.

Can anyone name a single incident when bethel has fed the poor ever ?

by Chook in

charity is lacking from the house of god.

i remember reading once about some young pioneer sisters who needed emergency accommodation and where turn away from brooklyn because they weren’t special pioneers.

charity begins at home..

Once in the Jersey City Assembly hall, I was short of a spoon for my lunch.

There was a Small Kitchen with spoons and stuff and a JW was in charge of that, standing nearby. I humbly asked for a couple of plastic spoon which he refused to provide. So much of sympathy for their own, And why would they feed the poor ?

What if Damascus is destroyed fulfilling Isaiah 17 prophecy?

by sinboi in

i don't think the wt ever say anything about this prophecy.

if they did, i think they will say it is symbolic and that it doesn't mean damascus will be destroyed literally,.

but watching the things happening now in syria , it seems very possible that it could happen.. if this prophecy comes true, will those of you here who have rejected the bible as the word of god think twice regarding the bible?.

North Korean Supremo is the King of the North. Putin is Anti-Christ. The number 666 is written on someone on this planet. Need to find out. Wow. Bible is full of fun and thrill

sinboi, It seems you have never investigated the bible fully to know about its ridiculousness, Silliness, Ignorance, hatred, wickedness, Cruelty ... and many more negative aspects , which invariably proves itself to be a garbage

Let's compare the sayings of Jesus and the modern day Governing Body

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

imagine yourself still sitting at a kingdom hall meeting and turn to the book of mark 7: 21-23. the sayings of jesus are really profound.

the scripture makes you think, reflect, enters your heart and produces results.. today, you have your modern day governing body ( who supposedly are the mouthpiece for jesus and jehovah and provide spiritual food for the 8 million followers).

if jehovah really sends his holy spirit upon these seven men, is this silly and petty message they can come up with?

EverApostate

Yes, the GB goes beyond what is written and even then I don’t have any respect for the supposed Jesus for the Following reasons.

He advised his followers to love him more than they love their family and come after him. What else more for a Cult leader ?

He never condemned slavery and even told a parable on the beating of slaves
