Dog To Be Stoned

Dog sentenced to death by stoning

Rabbinical court rules spirit of secular lawyer who insulted judges 20 years ago transferred into wandering dog's body

Jerusalem rabbinical court recently sentenced a wandering dog to death by stoning. The cruel sentence stemmed from the suspicion that the hound was the reincarnation of a famous secular lawyer, who insulted the court's judges 20 years ago.
Several weeks ago, according to the Behadrei Hadarim website, a large dog entered the Monetary Affairs Court near the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim. The dog scared the court's visitors and, to their surprise, refused to leave even after they attempted to drive him away. One of the judges suddenly recalled that about 20 years ago, a famous secular lawyer who insulted the court was cursed by the panel of judges, who wished that his spirit would move on to the body of a dog (considered an impure animal by Halacha). The lawyer passed away several years ago. Still offended, one of the judges sentenced the poor animal to death by stoning, recruiting the neighborhood's children to carry out the order. Luckily, the dog managed to escape.

There is no hope, really. :fp:

Not what I'd call a shitload.


But somehow reason arose out of that sort of history. It buggers the imagination.

Where's Gawd?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Luck had nothing to do with it. The dog was a lawyer. :naughty:

I posted this on FB last night. I mean WHAT THE FUCK? Do Jews even believe in reincarnation? I worry about what else the same court may have done to people too.

Quite a few have converted to Buddhism. This is what happens when you start mixing your religions? :dunno:

To be fair, this is a small minority of ultra-orthodox Jews who are probably much derided by most people in Israel...

That would be Hinduism. The Buddhist doctrine is rebirth. :biggrin:
