Sorry Raf.. that is what I perceive as the answer.. please VOTE! That's why I started the durn thing here! :D-->

What I find most disturbing in some of this.. while we held the minutea so dear to our hearts, da "master", without a moments notice, or second thought, was able and allowed to THROW IT OUT. "Ye think" being a perfect example. Ah, maybe we weren't supposed to "think". The explanations for this? 1. It wasn't in the Aramaic (???!!!) 2. "dr." knows best (other words, go away. Don't bother him..) 3. We will eventually find a manuscript that does not have these foul words.. 4. Hold it in abeyance (see number 2) 5,6,7- etc. The other explanations so inane I chose to forget them.. These explanations were given by various limb coordinators I was acquainted with..

I'm sure I could come up with something here. Now, if you'll just sign this lengthy hold harmless contract..

So far, it looks like the answer is "no". Jesus did NOT have his own "bible".. What I was kind of thinking was, he probably didn't sit around with his nose in the book from 9 to 5 trying to "master" the darn thing.. Either you have it, or you don't. Apparently, he "had" it.. Good point, Sirguessalot..

Cats on their way to the local petrol company

The rest of the story In about a year and a half, I may be able to explain this :)--> Garth, I wonder if he considered using dead skunks. Sure lots around here in the spring.. Could even be an anti theft device, or something like it.. cops could easily follow the exhaust.

Maybe Wolfgang also owns stock in one of the larger european petrol producers. :D-->

I wonder if Wolfgang has a better use in mind for dead cats..

Instead of putting this on the other thread, I thought it may deserve a little closer attention here.. All this talk of "mastering" the scrolls, reading the scrolls all the time.. one would assume that Jesus had his own personal copy of the law and the prophets.. Just to me, not very likely. Jesus came from a working class family, his adopted father was a CARPENTER. Not a scribe, not a pharisee, not a religious big wig. Neither was his mother. Not likely an ordinary working family would own their personal copy of the scrolls in those days.. At best, he heard the scriptures read, and possibly read them himself (out loud) once a week at the synagogue. And even at that, it would take a year(?) to read through the whole law.. if I remember the custom correctly. Anybody know anything different?

That's about half a house. A cheap house, but a house nonetheless..

Sorry, wrong costume :D-->

Well, since that fails to produce results, I'll just have to put on my grass skirt, and head dress, and fire up the drums. "Meka leka hi, meka hiney ho! Meka leka ho, meka meka hi, hiney ho.."

That was my real first impression when I first read that thing twenty some years ago..

What a "good boy" :)-->

Last I ever knew of them was in Michigan in the eighties.

Reminds me of young George Washington's claim to fame: "George, didst thou chop down yon cherry tree???" "Ummm, could be.." :D-->

Thanks Garth..

Bob, repeat after me. "Ooooh, eee, oooh ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang" Repeat at regular intervals through the day.

Five, Mike. Six, Ham. It's neck and neck.. maybe some folks just want to spare me the grief.. Somehow, I think beer, schnaps, and wimin folk will still prevail in the end.. With schnaps and beer at every meal, the poor staffers may not even notice my jokes. :D-->

Sometimes I think they are in cahoots with the credit card companies.. One I had to deal with once CHRONICALLY made late payments. The late payment charges were far worse than the interest..

Congratulations! Debt free, and no thanks to der vey :)-->

Anybody listen to this? I had to be away at class all night.. anything interesting to report?

Well.. they've kicked out all the other Wierwilles. In a strange sort of way, I think they are keeping one Wierwille around in case that they need one..

"Hold it in abeyance" My opinion- "YOUR QUESTION IS REALLY NOT THAT IMPORTANT. Its not life or death or anything is it? We're far too busy 'working' on other stuff.." In other words, "don't bother me, kid". "Why did you omit 'ye think' in John 5:39. It is in every greek and aramaic text" "Aw, hold it in abeyance.."

Sayyy, that thing looks pretty "nifty". Everybody could use one of those..
