Bad Japanese Economy
by PopeOfEruke inbad japanese economyaccording to inside contacts, the japanese banking crisis shows no signs of ameliorating.

following last week's news that origami bank had folded, we are hearing that sumo bank has gone belly up, and bonsai bank plans to cut back some of its branches.

Oh, and the Bank of Hara Kiri is taking a stab at slicing out corruption to keep whistle-blowers from spilling their guts.

it-1p.207***There is evidence to show that astrology was closely allied with the worship of Molech, a god who was sometimes depicted with a bull’s head. The bull was worshiped by the Babylonians, Canaanites, Egyptians, and others as a symbol of their deities—Marduk, Molech, Baal, and so forth. The bull was one of the most important signs of the zodiac, Taurus. The sun-god was often represented by bulls, the horns signifying the rays, and the bull’s strong reproductive power, the sun’s power as "giver of life." The female, the cow, was given equal honor as a symbol of Ishtar or Astarte, as she was variously called.

Well Cameo, what I'm pretty sure Devilsnook meant was that both baby bulls and baby cows are called calves. In other words, the term "calf" does not in itself identify the gender of the subject. Calves are either male or female, they are not genderless "like the angels", neither are they of both genders like so many residents of Southern California.

Has Golden Calf ever been found?
by cameo-d injust wondering, is there any information as to how big it was?
how did desert wanders carry around so much gold?
wouldn't it have encumbered them?

it-1p.10Aaron***Why
wasAaronnotpunishedformakingthegoldencalf?Despite his privileged position, Aaron had his shortcomings. During Moses’ first 40-day stay on Mount Sinai, "the people congregated themselves about Aaron and said to him: ‘Get up, make for us a god who will go ahead of us, because as regards this Moses, the man who led us up out of the land of Egypt, we certainly do not know what has happened to him.’" (Ex 32:1) Aaron acceded and cooperated with these rebellious ones in making a golden calf statue. (Ex 32:2-6) When later confronted by Moses, he gave a weak excuse. (Ex 32:22-24) However, Jehovah did not single him out as the prime wrongdoer but told Moses: "So now let me be, that my anger may blaze against them and I may exterminate them." (Ex 32:10) Moses brought the matter to a showdown by crying: "Who is on Jehovah’s side? To me!" (Ex 32:26) All the sons of Levi responded, and this undoubtedly included Aaron. Three thousand idolaters, probably the prime movers of the rebellion, were slain by them. (Ex 32:28) Nevertheless, Moses later reminded the rest of the people that they, too, bore guilt. (Ex 32:30) Aaron, therefore, was not alone in receiving God’s mercy. His subsequent actions indicated that he was not in heart harmony with the idolatrous movement but simply gave in to the pressure of the rebels. (Ex 32:35) Jehovah showed that Aaron had received his forgiveness by maintaining as valid Aaron’s appointment to become high priest.—Ex 40:12, 13.

CALFFOUND"A figurine backs the tale of Moses and the idolatrous Israelites," said Time magazine. Until now, no religious figures of calves had been found in Canaanite ruins from before the Israelite Exodus. But in June 1990, in the ruins of the ancient port city of Ashkelon, Israel, a team of archaeologists unearthed a 5-inch-long [12.5cm] calf made of bronze, copper, and possibly lead and silver. The bronze was apparently burnished to shine like gold. Lawrence Stager, the director of the team, feels that the calf dates back to 1550 B.C.E., before the Israelites conquered Canaan. Stager suggests that the calf may have been used in worship of the pagan god El or his son Baal and that it may have been a prototype for the golden calves mentioned in the Bible.
