Yeah... Inequality and discrimination is so annoying! Vivien Send a noteboard - 23/03/2011 05:10:48 AM
Well, that's one! Yeah I think straight men only have Mary, Unless they're one of the John's or Peter's, and count themselves.

Isn't that lack of parity awful? Just think how much more fun this survey could be if there were as many female apostles as male ones!

Which apostles of Jesus Christ have you known? In the biblical sense, of course. Vivien - 23/03/2011 04:52:48 AM 1794 Views
About as close as I can get it is a Mary *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 04:55:10 AM 364 Views
Yeah... Inequality and discrimination is so annoying! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:10:48 AM 840 Views
most of them don't even have decent female versions to use *NM* random thoughts - 23/03/2011 01:10:15 PM 383 Views
Slutty. I like it *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:10:03 AM 415 Views
lol, how many apostles do you think is slutty? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:11:37 AM 481 Views
Depends. How many you been with? *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:12:28 AM 485 Views
My answer. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:14:54 AM 1075 Views
Oh prude! 12 would have been a much sexier answer *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:19:45 AM 1387 Views
Where is the line between prude and slut? *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:34:57 AM 489 Views
Sorry, trade secret. *NM* Urza - 23/03/2011 05:37:46 AM 484 Views
Darn! Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:44:33 AM 1040 Views
My challenge to you... Urza - 23/03/2011 06:39:06 AM 929 Views
You don't get to give me challenges. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:09:10 PM 889 Views
Of course I do Urza - 23/03/2011 08:34:29 PM 813 Views
I think it's related to statistical significance. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:55:26 AM 455 Views
Also, 12 would mean that there was a Judas. Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:56:59 AM 812 Views
oh man, i gotta remember dude's names? temeraire - 23/03/2011 05:44:06 AM 1053 Views
What do you mean, "maybe"? Vivien - 23/03/2011 05:46:54 AM 1044 Views
Yeah, you're winning so far. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:54:16 AM 477 Views
You know, Joshua and Jesus are the same name. Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 06:54:52 AM 896 Views
Good point. Joshua/Josh counts. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:55:11 PM 493 Views
How can they have English names, when English didn't even exist yet!?! *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 08:56:09 AM 497 Views
God must be a forward thinker. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 09:34:07 AM 377 Views
Well he is omniscient, and he loved Evangelical Baptists above all. It makes sense. *NM* Aeryn - 23/03/2011 10:56:05 AM 472 Views
Different ethnic versions of the names are fine. *NM* Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:12:18 PM 471 Views
Joshua = Jesus. According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal beetnemesis - 24/03/2011 10:08:27 PM 840 Views
Because cleary, God is a Brit. Michael - 24/03/2011 12:40:28 PM 873 Views

Why? Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:15:23 PM 899 Views
lol, I'm sorry, that just got a lot funnier than I had expected it to. nossy - 23/03/2011 03:25:38 PM 1063 Views
Then it doesn't count. Vivien - 23/03/2011 03:53:55 PM 970 Views
Have a John is better than none...? *MN* Joel - 27/03/2011 03:42:09 AM 839 Views
Half a John, hahaha. Classic *NM* ironclad - 23/03/2011 03:55:37 PM 468 Views

*NM* snoopcester - 24/03/2011 12:00:03 PM 473 Views
In a strictly Biblical sense, it's the men who do the "knowing" and women who are "known". *NM* Tom - 23/03/2011 10:20:34 PM 445 Views
"How many apostles have known you?" Fantastic. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/03/2011 11:05:25 PM 480 Views
LOL. *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:12:21 AM 478 Views
Do women get to know anything then? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:25:24 AM 431 Views
Can they know themselves? *NM* Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:31:24 AM 499 Views
Good question. According to Biblical scholar Richard Elliott Friedman: Tom - 24/03/2011 01:36:56 PM 948 Views
That seems over simplified in a few areas, though I've always agreed with the, er, "main thrust". Joel - 27/03/2011 05:13:14 AM 1124 Views
What a terribly thought-out and absolutely groundless response you have shat out. Tom - 28/03/2011 05:56:56 AM 1145 Views
Next time I'm defending you against charges of elitism remind me to forget this exchange. Joel - 28/03/2011 08:38:10 PM 776 Views
I never asked you to defend me against charges of elitism; I am an elitist. Tom - 29/03/2011 12:55:12 AM 1159 Views
Hahaha, no kidding. *NM* Vivien - 29/03/2011 03:56:43 AM 361 Views
Then I'll have to settle for hoping you're not as representative of RAFO as some fear. Joel - 31/03/2011 10:06:34 PM 1011 Views
Oh, did I offend you? Please let me continue to do so. Tom - 03/04/2011 05:24:25 AM 1097 Views
Also, John and Jonathan are not the same name. Tom - 24/03/2011 02:48:49 AM 801 Views
Well Tom, if you've *been known* by both a John and a Jonathan, my hat's off to you. Vivien - 24/03/2011 04:11:49 AM 829 Views
I have come into the world, but the world has known me not. Tom - 24/03/2011 01:43:36 PM 929 Views
Nice *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:19:37 PM 466 Views
Which is why "Johnathan", "Jonathon" and the like are such abominable names. *NM* Legolas - 25/03/2011 07:41:02 PM 470 Views
I hate it when people of the same ethnicity have different spellings of essentially the same name. *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 10:20:32 PM 492 Views
Алина, Алена, Елена really bothers me Tom - 25/03/2011 11:42:56 PM 919 Views
Americans still have that "official name vs. everyday-use name" thing to a very large degree. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:08:26 AM 1023 Views
Germans do it. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:20:21 AM 846 Views
I think you'll find they do it rather less these days. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:31:54 AM 969 Views
I think you may be misunderstanding the concept of nicknames. Ghavrel - 26/03/2011 04:17:09 PM 835 Views
Is it me, or are your first and last sentence in direct contradiction of each other? Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:55:33 PM 950 Views
Possibly; I don't know what their parents intended. Ghavrel - 29/03/2011 01:41:32 AM 770 Views
I have known people who did it random thoughts - 29/03/2011 05:41:32 PM 766 Views
Actually, all Slavic languages do it extensively. Tom - 26/03/2011 12:29:39 AM 893 Views
My experience with Slavic languages is extremely limited, but... Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:44:19 AM 774 Views
But "Tom" isn't a proper name. Tom - 26/03/2011 01:53:38 PM 874 Views
For a lot of people it is. Legolas - 26/03/2011 04:52:57 PM 1004 Views
Hoi polloi do a lot of idiotic things. Tom - 26/03/2011 04:58:46 PM 949 Views
Oh that's not that bad! Vivien - 26/03/2011 03:48:05 PM 904 Views
Well, you're in luck! Tom - 26/03/2011 04:52:18 PM 827 Views
But I can't! Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:13:20 PM 775 Views
Sure you can Tom - 26/03/2011 05:56:10 PM 835 Views
But... Vivien - 28/03/2011 07:28:17 PM 942 Views
But "Anya" only has a meaning as a short form of Anna. Tom - 29/03/2011 05:29:33 PM 763 Views
So you wouldn't love me anymore if you found out my given name was Bobby? Joel - 27/03/2011 05:18:19 AM 959 Views
I don't mind it if the alternative spelling is at least somewhat current. Legolas - 26/03/2011 12:03:54 AM 951 Views
I love how as long as you're around I don't have to point out stuff like this. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:26:04 AM 949 Views

Re: I guess I haven't gone the apostle route TaskmasterJack - 24/03/2011 09:59:17 PM 826 Views
Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? *NM* Helene - 25/03/2011 06:08:51 AM 481 Views
Re: Are there more Peters, or are Peters more likely to get laid? Aeryn - 25/03/2011 11:10:47 AM 908 Views
I had no idea! Helene - 26/03/2011 04:28:06 PM 937 Views
The entire English-speaking world, generally Tom - 26/03/2011 04:55:01 PM 832 Views
I know a lot of words for male genetalia, but I'd simply never heard Peter... weird. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:51:56 PM 477 Views
I've never heard Peter as a word for penis. Rebekah - 26/03/2011 06:00:12 PM 840 Views
Really? There's a whole off color joke built around that in The World According to Garp. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:53:57 AM 959 Views
It's never too late! *NM* Vivien - 25/03/2011 06:42:01 PM 465 Views
Ah, I'm probably going to be known by only one man for the rest of my life Helene - 26/03/2011 04:27:41 PM 878 Views
Well then maybe it is too late *NM* Vivien - 26/03/2011 05:25:46 PM 417 Views
Yeah, most likely :-) it's actually quite nice to be honest. *NM* Helene - 26/03/2011 05:52:37 PM 488 Views
Just Magdalene, sorry, and she only counts if you're a Gnostic or Neo-Gnostic. Joel - 27/03/2011 03:23:58 AM 855 Views
Best I can do Bad Ash - 28/03/2011 07:01:17 AM 953 Views
