Junias: a female apostle in Romans 16:7?
by behemot inin his book misquoting jesus, bart d. ehrman claims that the "junias" mentioned in romans 16:7 with andronicus among those "who are of note among the apostles" (nwt: "who are men of note among the apostles") was actually a woman.
i don't see the word "men" in the original greek, so i suppose it has been added in the translation to dispel the embarrassing thought of the existence of female apostles in the early church.
similar adjustments can be found in other translations: kjv, esv, nasb, rsv, asv have "kinsmen", nkjv has "countrymen".

Daniel 4:15 and the iron/copper banding of the tree
by behemot inin his book four strange books of the bible: jonah, daniel, kohelet, esther (shocken books, new york 1967), elias j. bickerman, commenting on daniel 4:15, states that representations of the "sacred tree" with bandings similar to those described in that verse have been found on mesopotamian monuments.. i'm reading a translation of the book that lack notes and therefore i'm not able to trace the information's source.
does anyone here know about this iconography and its possible meaning?.

Update on Italian case
by behemot inhttp://espresso.repubblica.it/dettaglio-local/ronde-di-genitori-contro-il-pedofilo/2000552/6.
the article basically says that the congregation doesn't know him.
looks like he's a pretender.. behemot.
