To Christians...Theocracy?

No pay and no support with lodging and food, an apprenticeship has all three.

What you're describing is the medieval concept of apprenticeship. Food and lodging, not good by todays standards, but it at least offered the chance of being eligable for guild membership once you were done.

Still a far cry from what every concept of slavery has been. I foten hear it mention, that the hebrews didn't do slavery but indentured servitude. As always when it comes to apologetics, there's no evidence for that claim.
