I,m almost sure that Salomon was intelligent enough to pick those women because they had good manners, well educated etc. I don't think King Salomon would like to have rude, or uneducated laddies next to him. And I,m sure he chose them because they were beautiful.... The only problem was ... They had other forms of worship... Salomon remain faithful to Almighty GOD YHVH for long time.... But when he was getting older that's when he was getting involved in false worship... Almighty GOD YHVH doesn't care about if they are forgiven women...

Jewish tradition called the Pentateuch "the law of Moses". Therefore, 'it would seem reasonable' that he wrote them, especially since he was educated in Pharaoh's court. That's how the writer would know all the details such as the number of Israelites, etc. They really don't care about what scholars say, unless it agrees with what they want to believe. If it doesn't, they just say that 'historians will eventually figure it out' or that 'Jesus will explain it in the paradise'.

@@LloydEvans I looked it up on Google, “When was the Bible book Deuteronomy completed”? Several sources say the same thing. I just want you to know, I believed you, when you reported the book of Deuteronomy wasn’t written yet. I felt like a fool and was proven incorrect.

[@Lmn0660]

@@LloydEvans Of ya, I’m with you, that religion is a cult. Was in it too long, judged for way too long and I was marked and I didn’t know what was going on. When the shit hit the fan, I knew 100%, I knew. Sorry for swearing.

[@inaconder6289]

What Dave is talking about has absolutely nothing to do with anything remotely spiritual. He is a terrible influence and should be disfellowshiped promptly.

[@morningglory9288]

What happened to obeying the scripture "Do not judge?" First check out the log in your own eye before you pick the splinter out of someone else's. (Something to that effect) Why mention a young woman's short skirt when they themselves could be wearing over powering perfume or have shockingly bad breath for instance, are they to welcome such insulting remarks? They maybe taken aback for a bit and avoid you in future, but that only encourages divisions within a congregation

morningglory9288. WT: "Mysogyny Be My Name".🤦🏻‍♀️🤦‍♂️ I had been to many Churches and Places of Faith growing up. None so Mysogynistic or Narcissistic as WT/JW when I joined it.

I think it's funny imaging a guy being harangued for wearing tight pants. Men usually are not judged for their choice of dress. If you can see the contours of a man's butt, as long as he's rather good-looking and has a cute ass, I might take a bit of a peek. How could I not? I like cute guys. It doesn't mean I'm going to cheat on my beloved hubby with them. I know he admires other pretty women besides me. I think it's healthy. Like I said, men are not judged for their physical appearance to the same degree as women are. It's a silly and outdated cultural standard, and one that I would say belongs in the Bronze Age.

AWKWARD

[@rationalrabbit797]

Sorry, but I have to respond once again to this issue of when Deuteronomy was written. Are you suggesting that for hundreds of years until Deuteronomy was written, the Jews were missing out on a number of laws? Surely they had the law from the very beginning when the nation was formed, and they received the law on stone tablets. The Bible book of Deuteronomy was the law written down by a particular individual in a particular set of scrolls. Solomon would surely have known these laws even though this particular book had not been written yet. Am I missing something?

[@cygnustsp]

Yes. Law keeping wasn't the same when Israel was a tiny "nation" in David's and Solomon's time. The Bible exaggerates and inflates their numbers and practices. Archaeology finds very little more than a settlement in 1000bce. Most of the history of that period recorded in the bible was simply made up.

[@barbarabryonwisdom231]

It sounded as if he was referring to awkward conversations had with his wives. I think Solomon married them all to keep them honest and give God a thumbs up at the chance. The JW man sounds like he's wondering why. I wonder if the JW guy needs a wife

"Verbal Flatulence" .... Just awesome. Also, if you mute Dave Splain, he reminds you of a fish trying to shake the hook out. So the right type of woman to him is probably one that likes that whole fish thing he has goin on.

[@awakethemaster]

What's the JW found so attractive to change the point of view about whom really rules your teaching technique in these last days? The crystal balls, the government in place if that it's red or blue, the corp rules and help? What? When we gonna see an article about these changes in the organizations about rigids rules in what it's convient and flexible in what it's attractive? Does the new Magazine under espiritual guidance explain these teachings concepts that GB use to guide with ackwardness their sheeps?

I pray for all the people who ABIDE BY THE JW RULES MORE THAN GOD. They are good people who follow this insane cult teaching. Put you're life in Christ not a corporate company that's worth multi millions. This video of Splain, Lett and others talking like him give no real information on scriptures. Rather I see how they use scriptures to control

The BIBLE is the only book in the world that can be read, studied, analyzed and interpreted by all human beings but not meant to be understood by all the great, superior, glorious, intelligent, and powerful human beings in the world. Atheists, Agnostics, Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, all Religions are fully aware that all of them intentionally rejected and degraded the BIBLICAL authority and teachings of Jesus Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" as worthless and useless and fill the world instead with the LIES, DECEPTIONS, and UNBIBLICAL teachings and doctrines of the enemies of Jesus Christ about "Armageddon", "Hellfire", "Trinity", "Rapture", and "Reincarnation". All the great, superior, glorious, intelligent, and powerful Atheists, Agnostics, Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, all Religions will never ever KNOW and UNDERSTAND that - 1. the Creator is the Most High and Sovereign God. 2. Jesus Christ is the One given by the Creator all authority in heaven and on earth. 3. all believers of the BIBLICAL authority and teachings of Jesus Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" will be honored and rewarded by the Creator with ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and deaths. 4. the "Kingdom of God'' or "God's Rulership" through his Christ will make sure that planet earth will be safe, secure, peaceful and without arrogant, cruel, and hateful atheists, agnostics, and fanatics of religions, without liars, slanderers, deceivers, hypocrites, militaries, criminals, and terrorists. 5. the BIBLICAL teaching of Jesus Christ about the "Resurrection of the Dead" is the guarantee that all loving, kind, and respectful human beings who died even thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, King David, Jesus Christ's disciples, all the Bible Writers, and many others will be resurrected back to life by Jesus Christ in the Creator's own right time. 6. all loving, kind, and respectful human beings who honor and obey the authorities, teachings, and commandments of the Creator and his Christ will fully enjoy the eternal love, kindness, generosities, compassions, favors, and blessings of the Creator and his Christ for eternity as submissive and obedient subjects or citizens of the "Kingdom of God" under the loving rulership, guidance, and protection of the Creator's Chosen King, his Christ.
