None of it happened. It is a moral tale written by priests about the need, of the great warrior king of myth and legend, for the priesthood.

If this is the perfect way, better than killing the guilty adults, then why does the wt not apply it today? Let's say an elder gets it on w jw lady and she gets pregnant, instead of dffing them, or just the lady, why not df the baby? Yes, dffing the baby is the perfect way, jehovah's way.
The elders could have their judicial committee waiting in the hospital room. After the birth, they could act swiftly in pronouncing the dffing on the baby. Then, the following week, it could be announced at the servic meeting that the baby of the offending parents was dffd. This would serve to protect all in the cong, especially the sisters who so adore new babies, from staining their christian record by having any contact w the unholy result of sin. Why has this never been done?

A woman owned by an owner. Not just lying with a woman but the emphasis has to be put on her status as property!
you don't have the right heart-condition! you may remember, that by mosaic law, it was only a sin if one would rape a "already owned" (engaged) girl. it was NO big deal if someone raped a virgin girl NOT engaged!!! she would even have to marry the violator.
Bathsheba wasn't important enough to give her life for anything. After all, she was only a woman.
the biblical way to handle troubles is offering ones woman or daughter. if a mans life or anus is in danger, he better sends a woman outside and goes to sleep. next day he'll go and see what happened.
and yes, it's a bible thing not a jw thing. that's why all hardcore bible-people are suspicious.
iT WAS also the will of Allah that 3000 people died on 9/11 - wonderful and loving is God isnt he?
erm, where did you get that from? -

And, just for the record, I think David is one of the most annoying and sometimes disgusting figures in the bible.
Come on now, are you serious?! He's no where near as dangerously irritating as the legalistic convert to Christianity, the apostle Paul. At least David had fun in the sack, whereas Paul oozed frustrated scorn and judgementalism at every turn - and then had the audacity to blindly accuse others of being proud and ambitious.

but even paul doesn't come close to Mr. J-lover God. after all it was J.G. who killed the baby. and it also was jaygee who forbade to count the people, then sent his evil spirit to tempt david to count them anyway, then gave him three options to punish his wrongdoing, the least of it costing thousands of human lives. jaygee's jiggy with it.

Oh, agreed, no contest: Big J or Y tops the list. But he has the added distinction of being in a super-being category so he's unfairly advantaged. Superbeings setting themselves up as judge and jury is way beyond my ability to comprehend, anyway. Might is right. Period. Get out of his way! But humans setting themselves up gets to me much more, possibly because underneath it all we're all the same in terms of what we're up against.

Maybe i'm just simple minded but: is there a possibility that the child died for other reasons not caused by God's hand and Jehovah allowed it to happen because David needed to reep what he sowed. Children die everyday for all sorts of reasons. Birth defects etc...I don't believe the child died by God's hand but rather God knew that the child would die (perhaps from other causes) and he just let David know that his child would die.

That just goes to show you that you can't listen to another person's interp. of the bible there are a zillion different ways to look at anything.
