Babylon
**Babylon, Babylon the Great**
Names given in Revelation to the world empire of false religion. *(Rev 14:8; Rev 16:19; Rev 17:5; Rev 18:2; Rev 18:21)* When just *Babylon* is used, it usually refers to Babylon the Great rather than the ancient city. Context should make it clear which is meant.

**back issue**
An out-of-date magazine. (See current magazine). Sometimes publishers leave back issues at the doors of not-at-homes the last time they are visited before turning in a territory. Before the donation arrangement publishers would offer back issues to householders who were reluctant to offer two bits per magazine, but who nonetheless manifested a degree of interest.
**back-call**
Former term for return visit (Note the hyphenation). This is how the Society spells it.
**bad association**
1. A scriptural phrase denoting persons whose beliefs and conduct are contrary to the Bible's standards, and who might influence Christians to follow a similar standard. (1Co 15:33) Everyone who is not a servant of Jehovah is potentially bad association. It is also true that not everyone in the congregation is automatically good association. (See associate.)
bad association
bad attitude
**badge card**
A label worn by conventioneers, usually in plastic holders that are pinned to clothing in a prominent place. Thus they are sometimes called "lapel cards*. The Society supplies printed cards that advertise the theme of the convention. Space is provided for writing one's name and congregation. In former days some brothers wore attachments that said `Administration`. This was discontinued, probably because it appeared ostentatious. The only special badges are those that say `Attendant`*

A condition of steadiness caused by the equal distribution of opposing weights. The word is most often used figuratively in theocratic speech to indicate our need to give all life's priorities their just due without going overboard in any direction.
Balthazar
Bamah
an eminence or high place
**ban**
Legal prohibition established by a government to hinder or stop the preaching work of Jehovah's Witnesses. (Compare *Ps 94:20*.) In English, *ban* is frequently preceded by the preposition *under*.
**band**
A group organized together for a common purpose. Clusters of outnumbered Witnesses in hostile territory are sometimes referred to by this term. re 51 The phrase *small band* is used similarly five times in the  book alone.
**baptism**
The act of water immersion when one presents oneself in symbol of a previous personal dedication to do Jehovah's will. Baptism of many individuals on a single occasion is a customary part of assemblies and conventions.
baptism, baptize
**baptismal candidate**
A candidate is one who offers himself for office or membership. Thus we hear the usage: *"there were over 100 baptismal candidates sitting in the front rows*".
**baptized unpublisher**
A personal neologism for someone who is dedicated and baptized but does little or nothing in service; a play on the expression unbaptized publisher. The Society includes the number of unbaptized publishers counted in the annual world report, but not the baptized unpublishers.
