  Larc, indeed it is good to see you again! Kate and I offer you and your very dearest Lady our own best regards.

  "scholar": In making the last half of this post, I hereby absolve myself of any vestige of "moderator" status, and gladly let you, and others, to take may words for what they are worth:

  In my humble opinion, you are a despicably evasive man, afraid of his own mind, and shamelessly enslaved to the religion of your choice. You remind me of me, as I was not all that long ago.

  Hillary_Step has at least offered to outline your evasions.

  For my part, I have absolutely no interest in revisiting such dog-vomit.

  alan,

  Did you notice the "peer review" diversion? If Carl's works were THAT bad a "peer review" wouldn't be necessary. Carl's work would just be bad, and people would see it was bad. Such is not the case. Peer reviews are fine and dandy, and "scholar" should show us some of his works that were peer reviewed, given the fact that he brags about his credentials all the time. Of course, he won't. Liars are like that. Frauds are like. He has nothing to submit for peer review because his peers are window washers and janitors.

  Craig,

  Your version:

  : In my humble opinion, you are a despicably evasive man, afraid of his own mind, and shamelessly enslaved to the religion of your choice.

  You apologized and then attacked. You either do one or the other, bud. There is no nice way to deal with morons.

  My version:

  You are a pathetic, disgusting and lying sack of shit and I will show you why. You wanna play, sucker?

  Obviously, you are more tactful than I. But I'm more effective with these types of creeps.

  Maybe I'm not. The only answer to this dilemma will be found if we can document the number of creeps who leave the WTS and are willing to say who helped them do so. Otherwise, we just don't know.

  I still believe we should MESS THEM UP!

  Yes, I did, and done. I've been passive/aggressive, in my own right.

  fwiw, I think that entitles me to recognize the symptoms?

  I suggest that we might take this up, on another thread?

  What say you?

  : potential sources of error.

  : perhaps most positions of the heavenly bodies on such tablets, are calculated rather than observed

  some general comments on the Sumerian, Akkadian, and Hebrew languages

  describes some "pitfalls" in reading and translating the ancient documents.

  But the main thing is, he's quite specific with his arguments!!

  Furuli is an idiot, and I would take him on in a debate any day of the week. This despite the fact that I am also an idiot.

  If anyone has an agenda it is Jonsson and this is plainly evident in the introduction to his editions of GTR. If you have published then you appreciate the importance of a review so get Jonsson off his backside and get it done.

  I have challenged you before to discredit a well-known scholar especially in the field of biblical chronology, such as Jack Finegan, to the same extent that you discredit Carl O. Jonsson. You know very well that Finegan and Jonsson agree on the dates and/or periods involved here. And yet you continue to throw mud at Carl and his 'hypothesis', his 'chronology' etc. It only requires a few mouse clicks to see your disgraceful and frankly moronic exchange at Channel C with Carl. It seems your spiel is that by using Carl as a proxy you think you can get away with your mudslinging and highly unprofessional and unworthy behaviour towards all of the generally acknowledged and accepted scholarly work concerning the neo-Babylonical timeframe. Some time ago you were confronted here by a lady going by the alias of Alleymom. Anyone here can lookup that thread and read your glowing defense and repartee of the simple explanations based on your master's writ.
  

  Nevertheless I'm still indebted to you: each time I read your drivel and am confronted with your haughtiness, I bless the day when I left the Watchtower organisation, since your pitiful specimen showing the effects of careful indoctrination and exposure to fundamentalistic megalomania, belongs to the best uncompromising anti-propaganda for the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society available today.

  Listen boofhead. Finegans's book on chronology is far superior to the Jonsson drivel in fact in regard to Nt chronology he has moved closer to the WT chronology according to his second rdition. In fact Finegan has had both of his editions peer reviewed so when will Jonsson do the same.

  Scholar,

  Are you suggesting that Jonsson and Finegan are at odds in their conclusions respecting the dating Of Jerusalem's first fall? If so please provide evidence for your statement. We eagerly await your evidence. Once we have dealt with this, perhaps we can work back and answer all the aother questions that you seem incapabale of answering

  As for Cynicus, he can rest assured that being described as a 'boofhead' by you is tantamount to being savaged by a toothless doormouse.

  Best regards - HS

  This was COJs comment about Scholars absurd rantings:

  Your comments on my review of Mr. Furuli?s book seem to be exclusively a manifestation of emotional stress.

  Scholar, you have no logical arguments or understanding of even the simplest of points. You seem to have lost the plot. Your comments are now governed by your obsessive hatred of Carl Olaf Jonsson.

  Jonsson has the gaul

  Scholar - I seem to recall that Gaul was the home of Asterix.......... think you mean GALL

  Can I ask what relevance your degree has to this argument - are you assuming some of us are ignorant , poorly educated people who should doff our caps at the "toffs" from University.
