New Insights on History of Jesus
by Amazing inlast year on h20 much was discussed about whether jesus was a historical person.
it was brought out that no mention of jesus is ever made outside the works of christians (presuming that all christian historians are biased) except for the the writings of roman historian, flavius josephus.
and, even the brief mentioin of jesus in josephus works are challenged by some as being spurious addtions to some manuscripts.

Am I Really Hurting Myself?? Prov. 14:12
by Monica ini've been communicating back and forth with an old friend from my teen years, who is now an elder.
i used to be a jw when i knew him and he was not very spiritual so i was completely surprised at his current status.
(before i get questions on if i am "interested" in this elder, i just want to say that i'm happily married to a super-cool guy and have no intimate feelings for this elder whatsoever.

Jehovah's Mother-in-law
by Faraon inasherah: mother of the goddess anath, consort of yahweh .
i was trying to prove to a spanish site that the bible uses euphemisms in order to cover up certain words of sexual origin.
one of those is "grove" which is used in order to cover up the sexual images of asherah.
