At a recent wedding conducted by our Born Again Christians, the bride was asked to blindfoldly put his hand on a Bible chapter for future luck of the couple. Up came Numbers 31. After solemnly reading it, the whole congreation was paralyzed. Some fainted, others vomited, while yet others run away. In Africa and the Orient we take such things very serious. What ominous future does this couple have after receiving such a shock?

This is probably grounds for divorce.

No. It seems Lauren needs to learn a few respectful ways of being a friend before she can try to be one again to Casey. Casey is going through such a hard time and Lauren is not appreciative nor respectful. In a time like that, she would not go on about "childfree" life speech. That was heartless. Just because Lauren wants that in her life doesn't mean Casey does. I think Lauren and Casey are better off not being friends as they have such a big debate of one another on life styles. Lauren might never respect motherhood, which can cause rifts in "interests". She won't respect what it takes to be a mother nor understand mother demands that will cause Lauren to not be apart. (raising process for instance) I wish Casey a blessing in the near future. In the mean time, has she and her husband though about adopting? Maybe that be a good thing to look into while they are trying for their own. Stress and "unsupport" can also cause errors in getting pregnant. I do wish her the best. I hope Lauren and her husband gets fixed....that is irrisponsible and ignorant. she can only have so many abortions before serious complications form...

Bamibar (hebrew for Numbers) is from the Torah and written
for Jews to live by. That ridiculus event should have been done
with the christians own bible since they were "Born Again". The
entire thing is superstitious nonsense anyway.
They should have used "Fortune Cookies".

Numbers 31 describes the defeat of the Midianites. Why would anyone use this Book and chapter in a marriage ceremonie? Dose't make sense.

Well don`t you think that the Minister walked into this situation rather stupidly and it served him/her right for using the Word of God in a superstitious manner, I hope that the couple finally realized this themselves and stopped worrying.

The bride was a he? Is it about gay people?
Edit: It's about killing men and women who have slept with someone before and keeping the virgins for themselves and whatnot. Kinda boring.
