I'm a very private person who grew up with a strict German mother who believed 'loose lips sink ships.'
We used to exchange leotards with gymnasts from other countries. I don't remember who I got my most prized leotard from, but it was one with a lot of stars on it.
Everyone needs to move - if you're a pro athlete, a contortionist, a computer programmer, or just somebody who wants to play with their kids.
I would say, at least once a week, I get approached by a pro athlete or a celebrity or someone who wants some work done.

Anyone who listens to the Nixon White House would recognize that Nixon, who was in the Navy, was no stranger to profanity.
And in times and places where there was not much persecution, people could become and continue Christians who neither were nor professed to be very devoted persons.
To claim, therefore, inerrancy for the King James Version, or even for the Revised Version, is to claim inerrancy for men who never professed it for themselves.
