[Texte intégral
La Cour d'appel de Versailles a confirmé hier le redressement fiscal infligé aux Témoins de Jéhovah.
Les juges ont donné raison à l'administration fiscale qui leur réclame, depuis 1998, 45 millions d'euros (295 MF). Cette somme colossale correspond à un impôt de 60 % sur les dons et offrandes des fidèles que doivent acquitter les associations non reconnues comme cultuelles, comme c'est le cas des Témoins de Jéhovah, répertoriés comme une secte apocalyptique.
Un « tel arrêt, s'il devait être confirmé », constituerait « une lourde menace pour la liberté religieuse », ont protesté les Témoins de Jéhovah .

Genesis - Is Moses the Author?
by Thirdson ini have in previous posts alluded to genesis being compiled from different sources.
theories about a multi-source origin go back as least as far as 1711. some scholars subscribe to the idea that the torah is made up from four different sources.
to illustrate the point examine the following account from genesis.

According to Bible scholar, Israël Finkelstein,(University of Tel Aviv) Moses couldn't be the author (if he really ever existed) because the fact that Genesis mention "Camels" of burden as means of transport is an anachronism. No archaeological proof exist before 1000 BCE. Also he continue pointing that "Ur of the Chaldeans" is another evidence as the Chaldeans appeared in Mesopotamia many years later.

Archaeology vs WBTS ( who build the pyramids?)
by bj inin my book of bible stories (1978), chapter 27, the wbts give the impression to readers, that israelites, participated in building egyptian pyramids.
also, the watchtower - november 15, 1987, page 30, raises the two following questions: "do the pyramids of giza (near modern cairo) bring to mind abused slaves toiling under hot sun to drag huge stones into place?
and do you imagine hebrew slaves among them?

In MY BOOK OF BIBLE STORIES (1978), chapter 27, the WBTS give the impression to readers, that Israelites, participated in building Egyptian Pyramids. Also, THE WATCHTOWER - November 15, 1987, page 30, raises the two following questions: "Do the pyramids of Giza (near modern Cairo) bring to mind abused slaves toiling under hot sun to drag huge stones into place? And do you imagine Hebrew slaves among them?" But did Hebrew slaves participated in their building?
While reading the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, November 2001, pp. 78 - 99 (french edition), I came across the following interesting information.
The Egyptologist Zahi Hawass (Director of archaeologie at Giza), and archaeologist Mark Lehner (of Harvard University),conclude that the pyramids weren't constructed by slaves neighter by foreigners, but by Egyptian citizens.The theory of "foreigners and slaves" orignated from Hérodote (450 BCE). In 1990, a discovery of a necropolis near the three big pyramids of Giza, proved Hérodote wrong.
