Wow, resurrecting one of Leoaia's old posts. A blast from the past of the good old days at JWD/JWN. Thx, smiddy!

Thanks Smiddy, I had not read this contribution from Leolaia. This just shows the depth of knowledge she has, and it was a real eye opener tome when I first encountered this Site, and showed me the paucity of my own Bible knowledge.
Leolaia introduced me to a wonderful world of Scholarship that I still enjoy. I thank her, and her fellow Scholars for their contributions here.
Intellectual Gold.

If you wish to get into this days of weeks thing read
" The Gentile Times Reconsidered." x Jonsson.
What jumped out at me from this work was the way the gb react to anyone who dares to question the'party-line'..

So who is Leolaia and why doesn't she write a book or something? Awesome scholarship.

Only she could answer that, however i agree with you her scholarship was awesome .
Newbies and lurkers would do well just to use the search option and look at some of her posts .

I think Leolaia left this place because of her work, and therefore lack of time. As to her writing a book, her academic field is not Biblical, it is Linguistic.
And though erudite and quite the expert on ancient writings, she may hesitate to enter where others who have made it there main area have already published great works.
Smiddy's advice to search for her Threads here is excellent, if you wish to learn what the Bible writings really are, they are a wonderful introduction to the subject, and you will see clearly that the JW Org hasn't got a clue, and never did have.

Dang, I saw her avatar and thought " she's finally back!".... then saw the time period. I do wish she would revisit.
edited to add - HA Ding, I see you thought the same.
