Biblical Tickling?

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

Hello Fellow Ticklephiles,

I stand before you today not so much seeking any Biblical passages or verses involving tickling, as I'm fairly certain there aren't any in the Good Book. Rather, I am wondering if anyone versed in the literature can think of any sections, even short verses, that could be misconstrued as tickle-friendly.

See, I am thinking about writing a short story where the antagonist is alittle on the crazy side, and spews Biblical verse while tickling their captive. The intent isn't to be sacriligious, but rather just to present a novel approach with the villain.

Any help is appreciated!

May I recommend www.biblesearch.com ...? On the homepage, go to the upper left for Search, choose "the Bible" from the drop down. That takes you to "Read and search the Bible Text". Click on "I Want To Search The Bible For Specific Words or Phrases", and you should be able to locate all the scriptures you want based on keywords like, say, laughter, merriment, etc...

Example: keyword search is laughter in the NIV version-- Job 8:21
"He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy."


Hope this helps!

Sounds interesting, I could see a fanatic who tickles his prey to death, thinking he is doing the will of God spouting verses too, and not just an an agnostic. Cool idea. From a writer's point of view.

Ooo! Awesome idea, Mistress Aura! Thanks for that tip! I haven't clicked the link yet, but that sounds like the perfect resource for this project! Kudos to you!

Thanks, NavelTickler75! The whole thing's in the brainstorming stages at the moment, but with Ms. Aura's link above, I should be able to gauge whether the thing is do-able or not. I wasn't thinking "to death", although I do enjoy the idea of a tickler crazed enough that they aren't in the least concerned about their captive's well-being(in fiction only, of course).

I'd have responded to this sooner. But, I'm one of many who was unable to log in yesterday. Weird!

Anywhoo... You don't really need to limit yourself to passages that suggest or are friendly to tickling. I can't think of one that suggests it at all. But, there are several passages that could be used to support a fanatic feeling impelled to punish or torment someone "for the sake of the Kingdom". In fact, that is one of many possible scenarios we're considering for kidnap scenes at this year's NEST.

I think it's a neat idea for a story. I wish you luck with it. Mistress Aura's suggestion to search the online concordance is a great idea. I'd try adding penence, repent, reprove, correct, admonish and other similar terms to your searches. There are passages that, taken out of context (like so many others) could be used to defend actions like that. If I think of any others or any specific pasages, I'll note them here.

Thanks man. I though maybe the guy might want to save like a prostitute from suffereing and depression and stop her from her sexual sins as well, by giving her the "joy of divine laughter", and if it were to "kill her, it would save her from a life of sin and depression".

So write it, NT. You just set up the synopsis.

Some VERY intriguing ideas that might well make thing easier from a writer's standpoint, TklDuo-Ann! I don't think the story could stand on just the original premise, but adding some of those concepts(the penence, repent, reprove, correct, admonish, etc.) might beef things up enough for viability.

I so wish I could make it to NEST. Nevr have gone, but I could so see an Inquisition-style scenario or three played out. Especially along Monty Pythonesque lines("Give her...the comfy pillow!"). 😉

Hi Isabeau! Hope you have been wonderful(as always)! Is it true you gave up the tobacco? If not, drop on by Dr. Kobb's clinic to discuss our smoking cessation plan involving strict Biblical teachings combined with a rigorous physical regimen guaranteed to vanquish the nicotine-demons!

Gawd, can't you just imagine the crazy preacher from Poltergeist 2 as the lead in such a story(shudders)!

Say, just out of curiosity: Has anyone ever DONE a story where the ticklee is "murdered" by tickling? Like I say, that'd be abit harsh for even me. Just wondering, though.

BTW--If anyone is inspired enough to actually run with the idea(or one in a similar vein), by all means, "Go!", as my story output is of a bi-annual nature at best.

Glad to be of assistance. One of these days, you'll just have to come join us for a NEST gathering. Won't you? AFA the comfy pillow....just be sure it's a feather pillow!

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

Oh heavens no! My allergies would kick in! Nothing worse than a weezy ticklee.

I do wanna attend someday. In the meantime, I hope this thread continues, as it's just plain fun to say Biblical Tickling. Otherwise, I'll be forced to begin a thread on Tickling Bibs...

There is a CSI story by TicklishWitch where the victim was tickled to death

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

Is that bibs that tickle or bibs to catch the drool of those involved?

(Looks up leerily from table-full of lab-beakers and electronic doohickies) You know too much already, TklDuo-Ann! I'll have to send a henchman out to silence you! 😉

LOL Promises, promises!

Guido, introduce the little lady to...the comfy chair!

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

Guido, introduce the little lady to...the comfy chair!

BUT...! I LIKE comfy chairs! I have this one chair that you sit in and.... Oh, that's not what you meant. Was it? hee 🙄

PS - I don't remember. Is it still considered to be hijacking a thread if the thread starter is involved in the OT banter? lol

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

Oh, absolutely!

But back on topic: I'm currently trying to fit this whole "Bonghits for Jesus" free-speech debate into my Biblical tickling fiction story!

Recite the entire Book of Daniel while I tickle you!

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

Bong hits for Jesus??? ROFL! Sounds good to me!

Oh, and AFA your punishment.... Bring it on! It was nice of you to pick such an easy book. Now, if you'd chosen Leviticus....

I wasn't finished! The Book of Daniel...backwards!

In Latin!

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!!! 😱

(Yes, I'm backpedalling at this point)

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

OK, so you might have me now...esp. if I do those bong hits first! Actually, that might just make it easier. Hmmmm! lol Thanks for the chuckle.

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

That might just make for a do-able story: Overzealous(and ever-so-slightly kinky) Bible-College Guidance Counselor catches student having a puff, and brings her in for alittle private detention!
