Salome


Salome

One of many biblical representations of evil women, and the reason why JWs don't celebrate birthdays. Because who know, if you celebrate one you might get beheaded! And we couldn't have that..


On Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for them and pleased Herod so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist." The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted and had John beheaded in the prison. His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. John's disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus. Matthew 14:6-12


John's head on a platter

What a monster eh? Damn these women.
