As for the description of their encounter, sometimes you need to remember that you really don’t want the answer to some questions, so don’t ask them in the first place.
That is the daughters' excuse for getting dear old dad drunk, then raping him in his sleep; but Zoar, 'the small city', was spared for Lot's sake, as a refuge for him...then (AFTER the destruction of the OTHER cities) he went into the very hills he had earlier told the angels that he would not be able survive in.
Gen 19:19-24
19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
Gen 19:30-31
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
Though it doesn't explain WHY he 'feared to live in Zoar, it may be that the people blamed HIM, rather than their sins, for the destruction of the other cities. That could also be why the daughters knew that there was 'no man to come unto them': they were persona non grata; not there there wasn't any man alive in the area.
It could have been that they had the only cave with a porch in front with a couple of packs of dogs living under it.
I'm just saying...
I’ve seen that pic of those jug eared twins for years, but who ARE they? Are they still alive?
Gotta love the internet. Those twins are Dresie and Casie, photo taken Transvaal, 1993. Looks like something from Depression era U.S.
That’s just what I was thinking, especially given this:
Mrs Deaves said the physical relationship with her father was like “a sexual relationship with any other man”.
For Mr Deaves the sexual relationship was “absolutely fantastic”.
Or, they could have been such dogs themselves, that Helen Thomas would look good by comparison. LOL
I just knew there had to be mountains somewhere in this story.
I'd have to say he was thinking with the wrong head
Not only is it a grotesque situation, but ....excuse me, who could find that man attractive!!!!!!
A face not even a daughter should love. ewwww
That wasn’t my point.
I won’t go quite that far. Both are quite culpable for their actions. Both are adults. Both may be messed up, but they knew right from wrong. He is probably more with it than she is considering his age and the fact that he has been in prison and seen the worst repercussions that society has (he is world-wise). But, both are lost souls who are just acting like lost souls. I can have a certain amount of compassion due to human frailty, but ultimately, what they did was wrong.
lolz u teh phunneh
It’s a “Bean”-ie baby.
That’s just plain creepy
And folks make fun of KENTUCKY!
I think I threw up a little in my mouth.
I can’t stand BC, but there’s nothing wrong with that photo. My son and I do “nose kisses” all the time (Eskimo kisses, my mom called them). Eyelash/butterfly kisses are so sweet and funny on the neck from a kiddo.
Yeah, I know what you mean. It’s like how I was just talking to a friend of mine the other day and told her how I was visiting my brother in Bosnia some years ago and had to run for cover because I was coming in under sniper fire..... I will never forget it.
