lol, weren’t  those words of Bog which he used as a form of an apology as he introduced Adeline to her new B4 home. 😁 
I may have that wrong. 

Someone translated this things from a conversation in her first day.

No, Noldus bought the place. He's a voyeur I guess.

Lol. Smart move.. He invites Aveline and Bikini Blonde over there, telling them the surveillance cameras are no longer broadcasting online. But.. are they really turned off? I think not. 🧐

What do you think Jesus would say to you if you blew some MF's head across the LR because they walked into your home?

Even better: what if he shot Jesus walking into his home? 😄 

There was an incident where a (new) Latina cleaning lady turned up at the wrong house by mistake, tried to get in with the (wrong) key, and got shot dead for it!... Fucking cowboys!...

The Bible ...where all the guy's names are Matthew/James/Adam and Andrew ...and more ...in the Middle East 🤨

To be fair, these are the translated/anglicized names.

If you had a good upbringing, your parents would've taught you the ways of being a decent human being if you weren't taught to be civilized human being than you end up like the savage animals that are destroying your country and unless you're able to eliminate the evil 😈 wicked two legged animal your citizens will be rated, robbed and murdered 

Not sure Jesus (supposedly) ever said something like this. 🤔

Perhaps some fire & brimstone type in the Old Testament, but that's before Jesus' time.

You bible folks seem quite creative at interpreting it... 😉

Actually, he didn't exist at the time. The rise of christianity happened during the roman empires rule in the middle east, mostly among poor people who had little to live for and liked the idea of a paradise when their awfull life ends. The muslims at the time, who were not muslims at the time, where praying to some kind of sun god. They switched to Allah later. When it comes to names, I guess we got some of the names from roman texts, and the writers would have changed the names to something romans would recognize. Also, many of the names comes from jewish names, where Matthew and such makes sense. The christians were basically jews, only they started following Jesus, and evnentually they became their own religion. Alot because of people wanting to be boss, is my guess. Like Paulus/Paul for example. 

Yes. I am fun at parties. 

And the Old Testament is basically the same for Jews, Christians & Muslims alike. Jahwe = Allah = God. 

Jesus (named "Isa", I think) has the status of a prophet among Muslims as well, just like those guys from the Old Testament. (& Moses = Musa, Abraham = Ibrahim, etc...)

We should have a party. 😄

But a name is a name and those of us whose first language is English, we are fully aware of Middle Eastern names like the names of all the 911 hijackers although circumstances are quite different and thousands of years apart.

It’s like how RLC has plenty of folks who left the project but still linger, clinging on like an unshakable bad rash.

It would be even more boring if they were all actually gone... 

And tenants are allowed to have guests, also if they happen to be former tenants.

Nowadays, names are usually kept as they are, even if they come from other languages/cultures.

The Bible was translated into English centuries ago, and back then, names were changed/translated as well, and the anglicized first names derived from the Bible had already been in use since the Middle Ages. So it made sense to translate/anglicize the names in the English (or French, German, Spanish, Dutch, etc...) bible.
