    Look at the Dec 05 KM insert. It Quotes 2 Kings 12. Look at verses 10 and 11. "As soon as they saw there was a great deal of money in the chest, the secretary of the King and the high priest would come up and they would .. count the money that was being found. And they gave the money that had been counted to those .. that were appointed to the house of Jehovah." Verse 16 : As for the money for guilt offerings and the money for sin offerings ... it came to belong to the priests.
    Verse 17 - 18 "Hazael the king of Syria [captured Gath] and set his face to go up to Jerusalem. ... Then the king of Judah ... took all the holy offerings... [and all the treasures of the temple and the house of the king] and sent them to Hazael... so he withdrew from Jerusalem. Verse 11 says KEEP ALL THE MONEY FOR THE GUYS IN BETHEL. Verse 16 says KEEP ALL THE MONEY FOR THE GOVERNING BODY Verses 17, 18 says use the cash to fight lawsuits over paedophilia in the Borg and silence Quotes.


    Interestingly the chest was for voluntary contributions. Guilt and sin offerings had to be bought if you didn't bring the animal yourself. In other words the rank and file got nothing back. Bethel follows As Always, scriptural authority. HB
