  Peter in Babylon? - 1 Peter 5:13

  by Bobcat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for any looking over the wt study article for 3-30-2014, paragraph 9 refers to peter spending time in babylon.

  the paragraph speaks of peter living in babylon as if it were a well established fact.

  in fact, the only evidence for this idea is 1 peter 5:13.. see here for a writeup that analyzes 1 peter 5:13 and whether "babylon" really means the city of babylon.

  Could it have been this Babylon from which Peter wrote?

  Interesting stuff about Mark/Marcus in the article, also.

  So much to learn ...

  Thank you, Bobcat, for starting this thread.

  LOL @ Friesian blood.

  My sub-Saharan African blood boils at the gall of the WT in thinking people have to do their bidding.

  This may have been due to the fact that the person (Priscilla?) who wrote the book of Hebrews had already done a masterful job of counseling and encouraging the Christians in Jerusalem.

  "Foursquare" at Dachau

  by Quendi in

  i hope someone can give me a quick answer to this question.

  the 1974 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses tells the story of the movement in germany with much detail about experiences witnesses had during the years of the third reich.

  one of the stories was about life in the dachau concentration camp when it was under the command of a man nicknamed "foursquare.

  Yep.

  And, Revelation may just have been written before this event occurred.

  I think he's cryptically speaking of Rome.

  This would have been about the time of that crazy Nero who viewed Christians as his worst enemies, so of course Peter would have been wise not to reveal their actual location.

  Also, Josephus reports that all the Jews had left Babylon by the time Peter wrote his letters to the Jewish Christians.

  The WT doesn't want Peter in Rome because this weakens their argument that Peter wasn't the Rock to whom Jesus referred in Matthew 16.

  Doesn't it feel great to be able to research for ourselves?

  Blessings.

  I couldn't make anything out but the "sorry" part, but if he simply said something about redirection, why apologize?

  Crazy things witnesses have said to householders.

  2. relationships

  a hungarian brother used to come up with some humdingers.

  he was a child when his family escaped from hungary when the soviets came storming in about 1957. he would be at the door, a young person would answer, and he would ask him, 'what do you think of the situation?

  ' meanwhile the person is thinking, 'huh?".
