Anyone who has been online in the past several years has surely run into David as he preached and promoted all things HWA. His articles, blog posts, and book promotions (Beyond Babylon, God and the Gays)would turn up in some of the most unexpected places. He spent huge amounts of time flooding every imaginable bulletin board, COG related blog, military blogs, Jewish groups/newspapers and COG boards with his writings. He put Chiropractor Bob Thiel and end time self-appointed prophet James Malm to shame. He was a stanch support of Israel, even though the country expelled him several years ago and never permitted him to return.
Love him or hate him, he certainly left an impression!

I'm happy to say that I never ran across him. I'm still finding sites I never knew about before.
ReplyDeleteHis passing just drives home the fact that all of us from that unsavory past will soon go the way of all flesh. The march of history can't be stopped. But, the virus is out there, and there will always be someone to promote its spread.
I'm thinking he probably led a pretty tortured life. It's just difficult to understand how and why he chose to give the type of testimony which he did, because it was certainly not encouraging. I never ran across a single person who had any type of positive comment about David, his theories, or his written materials.
ReplyDeleteI do believe he was a born activist, and had it not been for Armstrongism, or Zionism, he would have inserted himself into the forefront of gay activism, or some other cause.

Actually he led a great life. A good man who was true to God and the Jesus of the Scriptures. He was one of the final Witnesses spared the Time of Jacob's Trouble.
ReplyDeleteThe righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.--Isa 57
He will be remembered for kissing up to Zionists and writing a book that perhaps nobody ever read.
ReplyDeleteDavid was a lonely man who loved his family. He truly believed what he preached, and suffered greatly for it. Not perfect, never claimed to be, but one of God's children never the less. Sadly missed by his Cousin.
ReplyDeleteI cannot mourn the passing of a White supremacist who was also a Zionist and used a book of fairy tales written by long-dead misogynists to justify his racism. Dead of AIDS huh? I hope he suffered long and hard and saw the Devil standing at the foot of his bed when he died...
