Better to remain Single than to marry a Jezebel

Throw her out of the window?!

Yeah. Jehu stood outside and she was looking out of a window taunting him. So Jehu called for the palace guards, and found 3 volunteers inside who threw her off the window. The Bible said her blood splat all over the place, so she was most likely dead from the fall damage. But just to make sure (or because they hated her so much) they ran her over with their horses and chariots. Later, when they wanted to burry her her body had been eaten by the street dogs and only a skull remained, as was prophesized to Jehu when he was anointed to be king.

Maybe if the tools at her disposal would have included weapons instead of just make up she may have stood a better chance.

if that offends you then why didn't you also find her reaping what she sowed from god offensive. that was foretold that she would die in this manner. she was all about killing men and women who loved the lord.

Jason, how in the world could you come to the impression that I was offended? I was only recounting the Bible story from my memory, without any assessment or judgement on my part. Just like one would retell the plot of a movie.
If I get misunderstood like that I must doubt my ability to communicate.

I read it and re-read it. It didn't sound like you were offended to me either. jason must've been tired or something because he certainly misunderstood you.

Good. :) I'm relieved to hear that, because I was really doubting myself. :sad
I guess misjudging the emotional content of a forum post is easy when all you have is written language and a few smileys. I've misunderstood people in message boards many times, even in my native language.
 
Kinda surprised google uses the outdated spelling of "mißverstehen"... to modern spelling (since the early 90s) is "missverstehen". :confused
 
lol, what's your deal with women anyway? Noticed a couple 'women' threads. *smiles

Well here's my .05 cents worth ... "It is better to live alone in the desert than with a crabby, complaining wife"
Proverbs 21:19 (NLT)

I thought the B was funny looking but I sure didn't know that they changed the spelling of it or anything like that...

It's not a B. :lol Although it looks like a Greek beta. But it's a special kind of s. It's called "s-z"/ "Esszett" or "sharp s". They changed the spelling in 1995 or so, when I was a schoolkid and had just finally managed to learn the old spelling of all the ß words. But the new spelling rule makes a lot more sense: sharp s after a long vowel --> ß; sharp s after a short vowel (like in missverstehen) --> double s.
That's probably making learning the correct spelling a lot easier for kids and for foreigners learning German.

Oh, he's just trying to work things out and figure women out...nothing any of us don't do at some time or other...the smarter ones at least, lol.

Just a little hint among us smart ones... figuring out half of humankind (that's 4 billion people) at once is not a very promising endeavour. :p
Oh well I'm probably taking the whole gender stuff way too seriously....
