  last week's study (October wt, page 23), par 10:

  Abigail and David. David and his fellow outlaws protected the Nabal family's flocks no doubt with daily support (how else would these fugitives make a living?) but then , when fatter rewards were harvestable, during slaughter and shearing season, demanded a bigger pay off, or kill all males. No wonder Nabal drew a " line in the sand" right there. . Enter

  Abigail, archetype of the wt disobedient wife, siding with the murderous stranger, handing over the goodies, and ultimately herself.so:

  She could have saved everyone a lot of trouble like Bathsheba and Uriah, the 10 000 dying because of the illegal census, had she let David to be eliminate right there and then for his bloodguilt. leaders getting away with murder.

  wt protection racket today: " you will never die, believe us!" "be slaves, hand over the goodies" -- or you will be killed at Armageddon, Gehenna, and not just the males. all of you, babies---.Lurkers:

  May "Jehovah cause you to become" -- a Beroean, a more noble Christian.

  David can do no wrong in WT Land. He’s the perfect go-to character to excuse the wrong doing of “anointed” ones.

  The GB say, “No one is above reproach and all will answer for their wrongs.”, but the reality is that the GB continue to operate with impunity.

  The only way they will ever answer is if “Satan’s” courts catch up to them. YWHW isn’t doing anything..

  I am almost jealous of David's conquests; the animal side of myself. The other has sympathy for his victims, especially Abishag.

  Since Rutherford has any of the biggies scored? I gather a couple got their boys

  re: killing all the males of Nabal's household: did he plan to pickle all the foreskins to add to his collection for Saul's daughter?

  DATA DOG:

  I was always of the opinion that the JW religion admired and possibly were jealous of the biblical character David because he literally got away with murder - and yet still managed to be God’s favorite.

  still managed to be God’s favorite.

  LHG: Victors write history, Priests write the tithing, sacrifice rules.

  W=Priests write the tithing

  That part where they demanded all the silver from the people.

  "Oh that...yeah...um.....God said you have to give us all your silver Shekels. He did."

  Pity they didn't have polygraph tests back then.

  Bunch of crooks!!!

  That part where they demanded all the silver from the people.

  DS. I meant more: the tribe of Levi (who wrote and kept "the law" ) after the exodus wrestled the worship prerogative from the firstborn of each tribe/ family, and made them even pay because there were more firstborn than Levites. and

  The OT had it's "Ananias and Sapphira" stories too, Achan & family for example, yo instill the "fear of the Lord" into the hearts of reluctant givers.

  The paragraph called Davids threat to kill every male because Nabal would not comply " revenge"

  does wt plan revenge for falling, failing contributions by the disillusioned R&F? kill the once they are in "heaven" and immortality and Armageddon gives them free hand?

  Moral in these protection racket stories? : -- you do not pay, you will die, one way or an other.

  The fictitious biblical character David was an a**hole. Funny he he ended up with the "good looking" wife of both Nabal and Uriah. Hey when you're the King, anything goes!

  just saying!

  Abigail called her husband worthless and senseless to David

  She threw him under the bus!

  So much for watchtowers message the husband is the head of the family
