  now i think he is a cherished Medicine Man ,, i think he even did the sacred ritual of hanging by your chest by hooks like in the movie with Richard harris,,, does anyone remember that movie... the PLains Indians would pierce there body and hang there ,,,, he is from the Sdak tribe Sioux.... its all tooo bizarreee no wonder i am a frickin basket case

  Just like wild mentioned he also has three children that he nothing whatsoever to do with. The love JW's speak of is a joke. They do not even love thier own flesh and blood

  1 Peter 2:9

  "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light."

  It has been my experience that those who consider themselves anointed take the above scripture too literally. Especially the "peculiar people" part. They think that their strangeness proves that they are chosen, when, in all actuality, it means that they are just looney tunes. They also like to believe that because they are "anointed" the rules of society don't apply to them.

  Love,

  Robyn: Interesting quote from 1 Pet. 2:9. The "peculiar people" rendering of the AV is not the best...should be more like NIV "a people belonging to God."

  But your point is well taken, because here Peter is here making a sideways reference to the status of Israel as the "special property" of God (Deut. 4:20; 7:6; 14:2; Isa. 43:21; Mal 3:17). And what developed with Israel as they enjoyed their special status? Well, the Biblical record shows that most of the time they were just plain, as you say, "looney tunes."

  Why would it be any different with modern "special ones?"

  Isa. 5:13-15:

  "Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
  Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
  And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:"
