Just got a job offer!
by daniel-p ini am one happy clam!
just got a job offer at almost 10k over my current salary plus another 10k after 2 years.
it's with an agency that would afford me many more professional opportunities, transferability, and promotion potential, and, most importantly, provides excellent benefits and job security and comes at a time when i need an offer since my current company is closing soon.. also, one of the more awesome things is that this job is under the dod, so i can stick it to the watchtower!.

OK I didn't leave or die but my computer died
by Lady Lee ini got home from a week out of town only to return home to find my computer wouldn't work.
about a month ago my monitor stopped working so i went out and bought a new monitor.
the new monitor wouldn't fit on my desk (old desk had a drop shelf for the monitor which wouldn't work with the new lcd monitor) so i went out and bought a new desk.

poor you Lady lee.
I'm between computers at the moment and did not want to fork out on udating my internet security which had run out on the old one. But I have succumbed and got some internet security that has a 30 day free trial. If I like it I guess I can always keep it and use it for the new one too.

Do you feel that suicide is wrong?
by dandingus inminimus got me thinking with his thread about whether or not you know anyone that committed suicide.
i think it might be interesting to see what the opinions are.. what do you think?.
are there cases where it is understandable?

Socrates in effect committed suicide for his faith.

question for Leolaia - when were the oral traditions that comprise the pentateuch committed to written form
by quietlyleaving ini'm quite interested in this subject at the moment.
i was reading that in some cultures when the stories, myths and traditions began to be written down the stories etc underwent transformations as they were now accessible for critique and for moral judgements to be added.. i'd like to hear your thoughts leo and anyone else who has anything to share/discuss.

okay behemot I've reread your post above and realise that somehow I got your post mixed up with mad Dawg's site sorry, I was on my hubby's computer as I am between computers at the moment. its only when i come to my daughters that I can spend a little time reading properly and spouting less!
what i ought to have made clear is that the J & E sections of the Torah are no longer considered to date from the 10th century BC/earlier and many think that the writing of the torah took place between the 7th and 4th century BC, and in fact they (the J & E sources) do suggest quite disparate representations of God.
Okay now that I've got that done I'll go back to sleep!

thanks behemot
Something I want to check is whether or not the J, P etc sources are still seen as reliable and as making such clearly disparate separations of God as in the past. Some scholars are distancing themselves from this. Have you heard anything about this? But I think it is still true that the bible presents opposites of God's personality.
I have tried to search Leo's posts but have had disappointing results with the search engine on this forum. Leo did say she was thinking of starting a blog - this will be very useful I think, but of course I won't hold her to it as I know it will take a huge chunk of time! BTW is Leo on holiday?
I have a question for you Mad Dawg. I browsed through your site, but not in detail yet unfortunately. One thing I was struck by, and have pondered myself, is this: When we use the reasoning that Jesus mentioned Noah's day for example, it means that Jesus was verifying that the flood happened. I'm not disputing this but was led to another question - What is the difference between truth and reality or between what is true and verifiable and what is real. Thoughts?
