I don't get some men at all. They have so low thinking that they go on passing comments, if a girl is wearing a short dress that means she is inviting a rapist. Or she is a open vault, and anyone can take her advantage. I want to...

JohnRok1 "He will, rather, try to find out the way of getting rid of this problem" - The problem, as he sees it, is that as a result of her wearing that particular dress, he wants something. His solution to that problem may be, simply ... to TAKE it, no matter what it...

When Joseph was 110 years old & -was on his deathbed, he "took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, G*d will surely visit you, and ye shall carry my bones from hence." (Genesis 50:25) But Genesis 50:26 says that his body...

My husband had to leave early this morning to pick up a delivery that went to somewhere in the Chicago area. Anyway, while he was driving through Indiana, out of nowhere, a turkey runs out into the road and crashes into his...

JohnRok1 On second thoughts any Turkey language I knew might turn out to be gobbledygook.

I have always had my strange ways, little oddities that define my perculiar personality. I am pretty sure that I am not the only one that does this - In fact I know that my youngest daughter does it. We are in the 21st century...

JohnRok1 @urbandekay As far as my understanding of English grammar is concerned, "Urban nostalgia" can mean the sort of nostalgia that Urban feels or nostalgia that others feel for Urban, by analogy with "Sousa Orchestration". But what does Fowler say (Probably be foul...

JohnRok1 In my country they have pay-as-you-go plans. You buy a cheap phone (20 or 30$) and pay for a specific number of minutes in advance. You do, however, have to make at least one call every two or three months to keep the account. But landlines are preferable in...

JohnRok1 @robspeakman It's useful if people have snipped your landline when breaking into your house while you are there. A friend of mine was beaten up by two such gentlemen because he didn't have a mobile at the time. Fortunately, however, this is unlikely to happen...

JohnRok1 @urbandekay I don't quite understand that point - Do you mean that "Sousa orchestration" cannot mean "the orchestration that Sousa used", but must mean "the way other people orchestrated Sousa"? In any case, I think she spelled "grandma" correctly.

Since the bible have some of authors, it's make some differentiation when writing down "the word of God". These errors, usually happen when verses told about something. Don't know whether these errors from the authors when they...

JohnRok1 @wapewe Come on, you know I've already answered this elsewhere. The literal translation of II Chron 4:5 is "It RECEIVED and held three thousand bäths", that is, it could, when filled to the brim, hold three thousand bäths, whereas that of 1 Kings 7:26 is...

JohnRok1 Alice, do I gather that people can now delete, from discussions they have started, other people's responses and comments, and, from responses of theirs, other people's comments. If so, it could kill the most serious discussions. I wouldn't dream of deleting...

JohnRok1 Sarah, a propos of your saying that to Christians you're a mistake, do you remember seeing Proverbs 16:4 (NIV's a bit mealy mouthed. KJV says it quite well)? Actually, God is also nice until it's time not to be nice. Do you remember Him saying that He has not...

JohnRok1 The genealogy in Matthew is the genuine blood line of Joseph. Luke's genealogy starts with the disclaimer "as was supposed". However, we do not have to dismiss it out of hand: It does not say that Joseph was the son of Heli; it only says that Joseph was...

JohnRok1 If Joseph wasn't originally from Nazareth, his genealogy would be supposed, at least locally, to be that of his wife; especially if she had had no brothers, he would be seen as continuing the family line of Heli. And if he had an older brother, he would...
