Israel

        I had, in the previous installment, covered the beginning of Israel as a nation, as well as pertinent considerations on the formation of Israel as a nation and tidbits from societies which pre-date Israel, since

Israel as such was not the beginning of humanity as a whole. Torah was written for Israel specifically, and any others who would choose to convert to it, as did a…

The Tower of Babel

        Now, as to what started all of this mass confusion, I am certain that it’s roots begin in the event depicted in the Bible known as The Tower of Babel. Prior to that event, it is recorded therein that people lived lifespans totalling some years shy of 1,000 years, and that after the tower event, people’s spans began to shorten drastically. For the sake of debate, let…

THE SAVIOR

        So I’ve gotten around to the life of the one many consider as their Savior (myself included, actually), but

for a great many reasons there is a lot of mystery surrounding his life and some questions about whether the information was transmitted faithfully. While there are a great many additional myths and legends about him, cutting through all that is quite the…

A Conspiracy of Silence



Author’s Preface: This is an advisory to any readers that in any instance that I state certain items for consideration without citing any source, it is because I had been informed by sources which I consider of impeccable character these concerns. Such examples are the time discrepancies which Hebrew scribes had attempted to resolve and the matter of the…

Ordering of Entries

OK, the order for the 4-part blogs on the recent entries is as follows:

1) Conspiracy of Silence

2) Israel:…

Thought I'd send a heads-up that I'm probably going to have to revise those mini-blogs for a few reasons:

             1) When I'd first wrote them, I still had some family issues on which to acquire more

complete info, which may have skewed my viewpoint a little.

             2) After coming to terms with having to review not only what I was taught to believe is

 true, but also incomplete info about my formative environment, I reviewed the blogs I'd written

only to find…

Just a short blog this time to note that, upon reflection, perhaps I am not as unprejudiced as I would wish to believe I am. If I DO have any remaining unjustified prejudices, please not that they are not intended consciously, but are simply reflections of a POSSIBILITY that I may not have de-programmed my psyche as much as I had previously…

Gee, this is my recent encounter with FedEx, the first time I've ever had to use their services. This is how it turned out:

Notes: On the photo documentation, please note the one picture which shows breakage on the suitcase corner where the PC tower sits within it. I have not yet had the opportunity to disassemble the tower to check for breakage, but my technical prognosis from the observed symptoms of non-operation seem to indicate that the motherboard has suffered breakage.…

The Latest Science

In March of 2013, Giulio Fanti, a professor of mechanical and thermal measurement at the University of Padua, in Italy, published his findings that the shroud dates from 280 BC (or BCE) to 220 AD (or CE)… the time of Jesus. Fanti’s research included 3 new tests (two chemical, and one mechanical). The first two were carried out with an FT-IR system using infrared light, and the other using Raman spectroscopy. The third was a…
