It was really just a friendly endurance game. You know...I kick him, he kicks me...whoever says "mercy" first loses. Well, it didn't end like that. He just crumpled up in a ball and said, "that's it! you're finished! What's your P.O.'s name?"

when popular misconception gets repeated long and often enough by the ignorant, it eventually becomes accepted truth.
for example, the great war of 1914 - 1918 was not the first "world war" by any yardstick you might wish to compare various armed conflicts by.
You're probably right....On the other hand; What if.....
You're at the Kingdom Hall on Sunday and the speaker is pronouncing the name "Darius" as Dare-EE-Us. About half the audience subsequently follow suit and whenever the name comes up, they say Dare-EE-Us too. Bit by bit, the others follow until you are the only one in the whole congregation saying it correctly. You know what syllable receives the accent and why, but nobody else seems to.
As fate would have it, you are assigned a student talk that contains the name, "Darius" and you're counseled from the platform for saying the name wrong.
Nothing?
Well personally I would pronounce the name "King Dizzle Shizzle" and have the audience follow suit with that.

How could that be? Theocrat suggested that he was closest to god. Do you think he would do something naughty to a nieghbor?
NOPE NEIGHBOR! I said that the Witnesses were. I'm not a Witness. Therefore I can be naughty.
