  I think that's why the New World Translation reads " ... everyone who keeps on looking ..."

  I need some moral advice?

  okay, i like to hang out with these twelve other guys a lot, but recently one of them---i call him josh--(to help protect his identity) as started being a bit of a jerk.

  he just decided that he was the leader of the group, and i'm not 100% comfortable with that.

  and he expects us to treat him like he was god or something.

  I remember him from 4 years ago.

  He sure has learned how to string English sentences together much better.

  The poster, Oubliette, is on to him too.

  Trex is referring to Jesus of Nazareth.

  Eccentric Jehovah's Witnesses

  so as not to hijack logcon's thread about crazy things jw's have said to householders, i'd like to start one about just plain old odd jw's.. for example, i knew this dear, dear senior brother who would carry a small bag of peanuts in one pocket of his suit coat and a small plastic bag of brown sugar in the other.. during that time, we would stay out all day long because the territory was extensive.. can't you just picture that precious soul alternately tossing a few peanuts/crumbs of sugar into his mouth as he schlepped from house to trailer, from trailer to house?.

  the householders would usually offer us water, lemonade, kool-aid, or soda pops, so no problem with finding something to quench our thirsts.. those were the days!.

  sylvia.

  Oh, something I just remembered.

  The dear brother mentioned in my op would tell anyone who listened that he was born the same year that the American Standard Version bible was released: 1901.

  That really meant a lot to him because ASV translated the tetragrammaton "JEHOVAH."

  Prostitution is one of the oldest professions.

  Gotta eat!

  Sometimes, in a male-dominated world, that was the only option.

  When I was younger, I liked to look at hair on guys' chests.

  Does anyone have hairy chests anymore?

  ROFL @ Wuz.

  FTR, Jesus of Nazareth's remarks were directed to married Jewish males.

  Others can take them to heart, though.

  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.

  That's really all there is to it.

  Points of view which we can accept or reject.

  I like that.
