  1. This IS a Christian forum . It is a forum within a Daoist SITE that has other religious forums within it . " Freethought ' really ??? and the Concierge 'likes' this idea ? Does this mean that 'freethought's' will remove the eclectic forums to make the whole site one Daoist forum ? I mean , it might be valid to shut down a 'silly' and confused post ... but to have Daoism sweep through the whole site and vanquish the 'unbelievers ' .... really ? Will I , being an unofficially recognized Daoist / Hermeticist , become a refugee ?

  6. Another informative and watchable lecture from Dr. Israel Finkelstein . I found it interesting as at the beginning he seems to hold a similar opinion to me ... that this 'made up story ' ( this is a part of the story , the made up story I am referring to is the Biblical Kingdom of Israel ) and some of the concepts behind it have permeated many aspects of western culture , right trough its development up to the present , it gives base and still has influence al through western culture and civilization ( and one must consider that this story is a 'con' to get the full significance of that statement ) . And at the end , the last 'chapter' I was surprised to find the answer I have been looking for in the next stage of my research . ; he targets the person, time, place and reason for collating and enacting this fiction . Also there is some humor involved , particularly notable is the section where address the critics of these historical findings , some virtually the same criticisms that I have been assailed with here in this forum . But I shall let DR Finklestein speak for himself . Lecturer's credentials : Israeli archaeologist, professor emeritus at Tel Aviv University and the head of the School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures at the University of Haifa. Finkelstein is active in the archaeology of the Levant and is an applicant of archaeological data in reconstructing biblical history.[1] Finkelstein is the current excavator of Megiddo, a key site for the study of the Bronze and Iron Ages in the Levant. Finkelstein is a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities an associé étranger of the French Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres,[2] and International Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Finkelstein has received several noteworthy academic and writing awards. In 2005, he won the Dan David Prize for his revision of the history of Israel in the 10th and 9th centuries BCE.[3] In 2009 he was named chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture, and in 2010, received a doctorate honoris causa from the University of Lausanne.[4] He is a member of the selection committee of the Shanghai Archaeology Forum, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Please note , this is an historical thread on the development of the ancient 'Empire' of Israel .
  7. Nope ! Not unless you can explain 1. HOW " God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore. " is the ' Biblical Source' of " Neurons (fat cells) being Antenna for Spirits [aka Ideas] . " 2. How Neurons are fat cells . As opposed to the new research that indicates sensory neurons branch out from the spine into fat tissue and directly communicate with a part of the brain called the dorsal root ganglia. Ie. the neurons branch out into the tissue with the fat cells in it , NOT that neurons are fat cells . 3. How 'spirits' are ideas . - or dont explain and just accept a no answer .

    TM : " ... Maybe it happened before. There's supposedly some evidence that it happened before, maybe many times before. But if that's the case, it always ends the same way. Civilization is not sustainable. It is a nanosecond of skipped heartbeat in the rhythm of the planet, is all. " ......... Well , here , some of them did it up to .... 1984 ! can you believe that ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pintupi_Nine and not only that, they lived in the heart of the Gibson Desert * ! And not only that : " Medical examination revealed that the Tjapaltjarri clan (as they are also known) were "in beautiful condition. Not an ounce of fat, well proportioned, strong, fit, healthy". * One of the Pintupi Nine 'meeting a truck ' ( Feel ... feel ... yeah, thats a real thing .... whatever it is ? )

    Police listen to crazy woman who says her friend (also a little disturbed at the moment ) was killed by her husband ( a mate of mine ) . They contact the son and ask him disturbing questions . He rings his father and says the police are about to come to his property and swarm over it and pull it apart . He tells the son to ring them back and tell them , their informant is crazy, why did they believe her and why not check to see if she is alright first instead of sending a team to his place ? She has probably run off to their holiday house at .... which was exactly where they found her . WTF ... you have a fight with your wife, she storms off and next thing you know a SWAT / murder investigation team arrives ?

    You need Mrs Johnson from next door , she can make it bigger by blowing it up ! - Little girl ; " Mummy , why where you bouncing up and down on top of Daddy while he was lying on his back on the bed ? Mummy : " What ! How did you see that ? " LG " I was out in the garden playing and heard a funny noise so I looked through the window ." M " Oh ... er ummmm , I see ... well, you know how Daddy has that big belly from drinking all that beer ? I was jumping up and down on it to force it back in and make it smaller . " LG " Oh, I see, but Mummy , I dont think that is going to work ." M; " Why not Darling ?" LG : Well, you are in there jumping up and down on his belly trying to make it smaller, but every time you go to out to tennis , Mrs Johnson from next door comes over and blows it back up again ."

    Indeed .... in a human home . I have seen them have a pretty good life outside , as a hunting companion ... they seem to love it ! I've said it a few times; I have feral pets , wild ones that come and go as they please . Now I got two possums over the bed . Last evening a huge carpet snake head appeared at the window outside outside . She positioned herself near the possums sleeping .... OH oh ! Do I defend my friends ( possums ) or let my other fiend 'take her course' I observed for about half an hour checking every 5 mins and realized something else had snakes attention . The I remembered that yesterday I heard a distinctly unpossumy sound in the roof, more a like a quick scratching of a rat striking the scratching foot against what it was sitting on ..... go snakey ! All safe ... a possum is a bit too big for a snake that size , although it was a large one ( they can get a lot larger and baby possums can be threatened . No dogs though .... they come down from the forest to the ridges near the river bank opposite to my place and set up a wild and eerie group howling , as if they are calling the domestic dogs " Why are you over there , you have gone soft , come and join us; the anprim dogs ! .... come .... join us . ... "Ooww-oooOOOOO WOOOO WOOOOOooooo . " [ New hunting companion needed ? I heard my teacher do this ; He would hear or get a report of a call of dingo pups . The he would go there and listen carefully to their specific calls and watch to locate the 'den' . Then he would go off somewhere nearby and play his didgeridoo in a remarkable imitation of the call , drawing the mother away from the den to find the lost pup . Then he would bolt back before the mother returned and nab a pup ... steal it . Take it home, integrate it with any other dogs and it would start its hunting training .

    ' Some newspapers ran earlier reports but these were not so accurate. “World’s biggest ocean liner hits an iceberg,” ran the headline in France’s Le Petit Parisen on April 16th. “Happily it was possible to save all 2,358 people on board.” Why ? " These historical newspapers naturally allow us to see how the event was reported. More than that, they also give us insight about the varied newspaper styles and editorial decisions of the time." http://www.europeana-newspapers.eu/how-historic-newspapers-covered-the-titanic-disaster/ I can see people of the future reading our news and ... WTF ? " They are eating our dogs .... they are eating our cats ..... "
  21. Well, we do have a joke going around about a special kosher cheese sandwich We hope to be a fair multi-cultural society ... but of course we also have an opposite element present . The same with halal food . Unfortunate some rare cases of opposition have been able to get into places like members of parliament , so some type of significant vote got them there . The other issue is sending live stock OS so they can 'do it properly' but that creates very much hardship and cruelty to the animals due to the transport methods open cages out on the open sea . I think there are plans , or at least some talk going around about making appropriate slaughterhouses here . Personally , as I said before in another thread , it doesnt worry me ; I go to my friends house and if it is Sabbath , he asks me to press the button on his coffee machine .... I dont mind, even though I know he will do it himself if I am not there . But things are changing , sadly. Fascism is on the rise again . Last year I am watching TV and a current affairs program comes on featuring the head of ASIO ( sort of like our CIA ) giving out a special announcement (unheard of before , so it really got my attention ) on the rise of fascism in our youth , he even said " Parents ! Check your children's rooms . Now I know some of the teens keep their rooms locked and it is considered private , but have a look in there . Many times when we investigate such things due to other issues that have occurred we find a room full of fascist paraphernalia and Nazi flags ... that the parents did not know about . " Yikes ! That scares and disappoints me ! Although it is not 'historical Jewish persecution ' in Australia . I guess we will have to see how the current situation pans out with Australia's recent political decisions in the world forum .
