The verse is neither explicit or tittilating, it is neither erotic or pornographic in nature but rather factual without unnecessarily explicit detail it is indeed suitable material for an under 18 year old. Further, my opinion is that the account is not morally objectionable since it does not voice any approval for the daughters actions, rather implies they knew their actions were wrong (teaching a valuable lesson that all sexual behavior is not acceptable) and that what one does with one's body must be subject to conditions.

Nearly all cases of child molestation involve some kind of "grooming" and I believe the majority of cases involve family members or individuals the child is familiar with. So in an age appropriate way, I absolutely do think the above narritive, should read by and with children under 18 and used as an opportunity to springboard a discussion with their teen or even pre-teen on sex, sexuality and how to protect oneself against behaviours that God finds displeasing.

As Jehovah's Witnesses we don't shy away from dealing with sensitive issues because the bibe does not. We don't leave the sexual education of our children to the schoolyard or to teachers that will tell our children about "my two mommies". We are aware of the dangers of sexual predictors and will absolutely use bible accounts to teach our young children, pre-teens and young adults about sexual matters in an age appropriate way.

Personally I see the account of Lot and his daughters something I would most certainly allow a young person to read and as is the case with young minds, be there to help them understand why it happened, how God feels about such things and how one can protect oneself against similar abuse today.

QUESTION: Did God approve of the actions of Lot's daughters?

No, there is no indication that God either instructed these women to have sex with their father or that he approved in any way of what they did. The very fact they felt the need to trick their father by getting him drunk indicates that the women were fully aware that what they were doing was totally unacceptable behaviour.

Some presume that if an account if REPORTED in scripture it automatically means that God approved of that action. This is faulty reasoning since the bible reports Cain killing his brother and even the rebellion of Adam and Eve. Indeed, when a newspaper reports a rape or a murder it is not presumed that the journalist approves of the action.

Granted God did not immediately destroy the women, but lack of immediate judgement is not synonymous with approval; punishment did come in the way of the illigitimate nation they bore eventually being destroyed.

The human story is full of murder, rape, violence, incest and many other things that God hates, eventually God communicated his law through the prophet Moses, a law that reflected his righteous standards but before this time, each one followed his own morale compass and the bible does not shy away from reporting the sometimes disasterous consequences of this fact.
