The Syndicate

i cut it too close, i'm sorry.

ebwop: I left out Canaanites. Which I found to mean Merchant, Servant.
-not choosing this for two reasons.
1. Another definition said: The root-verb כנע (kana') means to be humbled, subdued, brought down or into subjection. -Not feeling that one either.
2. I already voted.

I did a tiny amount of research on the names and the meanings of the tribes and this is what I found:

Hivites: Snake, serpent
-Not choosing this because snakes in the bible are bad.

Perizzites: I couldn't find anything
-Not choosing this because it sounds too much like parasite

Jebusits: Trodden Down
-Not really feeling this one

Hittites: Terrible, fearsome
-Not choosing this because it makes me think this is where the baddies could be supported by this group

Amorites: Talkers, speak, voice
- I will choose this one because I'm a talker and it sounds like am I right? and the answer is sure, why not.

I'm going to vote for Balaam. I don't have a real reason and though that bothers me, I have to vote and refuse to miss it. Sorry Balaam if you're good...

VOTES BALAAM

Why not vote Samuel?

Recap:
Job and Uzziah hate each other. Rachel thinks Job is bad for having tunnel vision, although some people have suggested that the feud may be an act of War rather than organic. I think Balaam is bad because of his faux-helpful lists and pessimism about the civvies' chances, and Nicodemus agrees for reasons unclear.

Lazarus thinks I'm bad because reasons.

Everyone is busy and not posting.

Thank you so much, Absalom, I really do appreciate it and it is quite helpful.

This is really my fault for not being around as I should've been but it is what it is. Of the names that have been pointed out, I think I will vote for one of them; those names being Rachel. Job, Uzziah (anyone else reading that as Huzzah?) lol, Balaam and Nicodemus.
Has Nicodemus really not given a reason for his vote? In any case, I don't like bandwagons and I don't feel I have enough information to vote for someone who hasn't been mentioned or that I can't easily find their posts. That being said, I have no flipping clue who to vote for.

Linki: still no clue. and I have like 11 minutes before I have to go home.

Linki: Ugh...

Linki: I think I'm going to go back and read some of Rachel's posts

Linki: Crap no time to read, bloody hell people!!

I apologize my friends for not being available the past few days. I'm going to read some posts by those that have votes and come back with some thoughts, if I have any. If someone wants to give me a quick recap, that would suffice too. lol

I've been trying to keep up however, there hasn't been anything to stick out to me. I recall reading there being two lynch candidates but I haven't found anything that sheds light on why. Is it possible for someone to give a breakdown on what has occured? I want to make a better informed decision.

Lazarus wrote:I would like to study the gospels because who doesn't want to read about Lazarus.

They write cool songs about Lazarus. I never seen a dead man live up close.

Job wrote:Yes, she definitely seduced king David away from his wife, shady business

Sleep with the king or die. Besides, it should be 'wives and concubines'.

If by some you mean vote, my bets on Paul.

Remember that time in History when you were made ?

I may make a lot of puns, but I'm trying to stick to one per post. Put the tent peg away.

Deborah is not the one with the tent peg. She is the little old woman depicted in the piece. The tent peg-wielder is none other than Jael, who drove it into the Canaanite warlord Sisera's head while he was asleep. Barak, who defeated the opposing army but lost out on the honor for slaying the captain, is the man in the background.

BTSC is behind the scene conversation, Lot.

Who will cast the first stone?

Voted for the epistles because there is much wisdom in the advice from Paul that is applicable to the modern church. I love letters.
