  Flogging the Vat 4956 horse

  i'm just curious about something & wonder if the experts could help.. basically i am documenting all of the main lines of evidence for the jws being the one & then investigating each claim systematically.. i have now reached the dreaded november 1st, 2011 watchtower & am sitting in front of a copy of cartes du ciel and a babylonian calendar converter i found at http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/babylon/babycal_converter.htm.

  i realise these claims have been challenged and documented in depth elsewhere, but i'm keen to do my own research rather than copy & paste.

  my question is regarding date conversion - when inputting the gregorian dates as given at the bottom of the tablet's translation i found at http://www.caeno.org/pdf/f019_translation.pdf then the lunar positions all seemed pretty close (visually, i wasn't dealing with exact degrees here).

  for me, that happy day was in morro bay, calif. it was the fall, oct 1958 or 9. gorgeous weather.

  the sun was shining and the wind was coming off of the ocean.. at that time, morro bay was unassigned territory.. talesin on another thread was talking about a lovely day she had, going with her grandfather, talking with a mr languages.

  lol.

  Watchtower- Gnosticism

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  1. watchtower

  before i post this let me say i'm an atheist (though i have a respect for buddism and quantum mysticism).

  the wikepedia definition of gnosticism is: "religions that taught that people should shun the material world created by the demiurge and embrace the spiritual world.

  [1] gnostic ideas influenced many ancient religions[2] that teach that gnosis (variously interpreted as knowledge, enlightenment,salvation, emancipation or 'oneness with god') may be reached by practicingphilanthropy to the point of personal poverty, sexual abstinence (as far as possible for hearers, completely for initiates) and diligently searching forwisdom by helping others".
