Please explain each verse in its context and demonstrate that the situation being described and prescribed is morally acceptable.

Finding Forrester

Also fits Threes Company. Spinoffs The Ropers and Threes a Crowd. In Britain, Man About the House and Robins Nest. Not sure of the Ropers equivalent.

I'm sorry, but the verses speak for themselves quite clearly, I think. You keep saying there are different definitions and contexts, but I seem to be the only one quoting scriptures here.

To be clear, you could not go free before seven years. If you went free, you couldn't take your wife and kids with you. That's. Not. Freedom. Just the fact that God would let the master keep the wife and kids... Holy cannoli, really? How is that morally acceptable regardless of what word you're using? Slave, ebed, jolly green giant... It's NOT something I would ever allow morally. Seems to me the so-called source of absolute, objective morality clearly is not as moral as the vast majority of the people who follow him today (not to mention the vast majority of people who don't).

Ladies and gentlemen, exhibit 1: Biblical ebeddery allows a master to hold an ebed's wife and children hostage if the ebed wants to go free (if he gave the wife to the ebed in the first place). If you have a moral objection to that rule, which is presented to us as God's voice and not man's, then you are saying that you are more moral than the God who gave that rule. If you do not have a moral objection to that rule, you are probably, and I'm guessing here, not reading this. Read it as many times as you'd like. A man can sell his daughter as an amah. She doesn't get that cool deal about going free after seven years. That's for male ebeds. (I'm assuming we are not restricted to ebed, but even if we are, the concepts are clearly related and on-topic). And if the master marries another woman, in addition to his... let's call it, purchased sexual companion... as long as he keeps feeding, clothing, and boning his amah, he doesn't have to free her. If you have a moral objection to that rule, which is presented to us as God's voice and not man's, then you are saying that you are more moral than the God who gave that rule. If you do not have a moral objection to that rule, you are probably, and I'm guessing here, not reading this. God must have not read the part about how they were not to be treated as property. He said, yeah, treat them like property. If you have a moral objection to that rule, which is presented to us as God's voice and not man's, then you are saying that you are more moral than the God who gave that rule. If you do not have a moral objection to that rule, you are probably, and I'm guessing here, not reading this. Let me know if I need to keep going.

What?

I knew it was Rise or Legends.

FYI: If you need to give MORE characters, please make them obvious to move the game along. This actor has had so many roles, but you never think of him as his character names. He's too much of a presence for that.

Three actors in search of a character. That character being Sherlock Holmes Up next Seymour Parrish Sean Maguire Daniel Hillard Hints: the character of Seymour Parrish was VERY well received by critics. But the movie he was on was not exactly a blockbuster. I'd be surprised if you had not heard of it. I'd be surprised if you saw it. You have all but certainly seen the movie featuring Daniel Hillard. He's actually the title character, in a manner of speaking. The actor won an Oscar for portraying Sean Maguire.

Is ebeddery, as described in the Bible, morally acceptable to you? Only verses can outline what biblical ebeddery is.

Yes. Tom Hanson from 21 jump street John Dillinger from public enemies James Barrie from finding neverland. You're up.

I was just waiting for verses.

I give you three character names, you identify the actor/Actress who played them. Or if you're in the mood, give us three actors who played the same role, and we have to guess the role. Try not to be too obscure, but no need to make it easy. Ready? Go! John Dillinger Tom Hanson James Barrie

Proposal: instead of calling it slavery and making comparisons to the instutution we all know and condemn, let's call it "ebeddery" and deal with it on its own terms. Because the issue is not really a comparison of Biblical slavery (ebeddery) and 18/19th century slavery. The issue is whether ebeddery is moral, on its own terms. You have stated that ebeddery is not something you would abolish. I submit that if you analyzed ebeddery on its own terms, you would change your mind about that. You have to. Any moral person would. I would like to see you arrive at an honest conclusion using the Bible to define its own terms, laws, rules, permissions, etc. The less I say, the better.

It's only the same genre if you're REAL flexible about it. When do we eat?

I think I'll wait until you review the scriptures, weigh and (if I may be so bold) reconsider what you're saying. Your initial gasp-eliciting comment came with a humble and open-hearted caveat that I'm sure, if you follow through on it, will have you revoking your "I wouldn't abolish it" position in short order.

T&O, were you done making your point, or do you have more to share? Because I have oodles, but I want to wait my turn.

Sticking to one subtopic at a time seems reasonable to me. And slavery seems as good a place to start as any. I would add that I am VERY interested in hearing what you have to say on the subject. What you've posted so far requires more time than I have at the moment, but I promise not to ignore it. And WW, welcome to the convo!

Ask away.

Cheated. And that would make an AWESOME name for the next sequel in the series of the second title.
