I'm sure you think I'm kidding, but in big bold
headlines the German publication Der
Spiegel pronounced JTEM triumphant and
Giwer an ignorant ass-clown.

Well, okay, they didn't use those exact words.

Not exactly.

What they said was:

: The Jews had significant competition in antiquity
: when it came to worshipping Yahweh.
: Archeologists have discovered a second great
: temple not far from Jerusalem that predates its
: better known cousin. It belonged to the
: Samaritans, and may have been edited out of
: the Bible once the rivalry had been decided.

Need I remind everyone that this is the scenario
that I have been arguing for quite some time?

Hmm?

Well, need I?

Excuse me. The this temple has NEVER been unknown. Josephus mentions
its destruction.

Yet the lead to the story declares it was DISCOVERED!

What kind of an idiot would cite an article that only a low life
journalism major could produce? Your kind obviously.

The writings attributed to Josephus give it
the wrong age. The date it to a much more
recent times. In fact, according to Josephus
the Samaritans were asking Alexander the
Great permission to build it, and it was
already more than a century old when Alexander
was on the scene...

Funny how you cite an appallingly inaccurate
source in an attack on an inaccurate source...

"Hypocrisy."

It's common for "Stories" to get major
facts wrong. As I pointed out, it dates
the split/rewrite to the Assyrians, and
the Assyrians arrived on the scene centuries
before the temple at the heart of the split.

It's amazing that you claim to be able to
wade through the inaccuracies of a Josephus
to arrive at the truth, but you are completely
lost at an English-language translation of a
German news piece (NOT field report, NOT
scholarly article).

I don't disagree, or not completely, but why do you choose a handle
which describes you as a highlander, but in Scots?

I await your physical evidence there was anything to translate into Greek.

haaretz.com has reported Israel pays people like you to promote zionist
bullshit. If you are not being paid now apply for a job. If you need a
recommendation I will be happy to swear you are no dumber than the rest
of the Ha'Sbara team that supports the jewish dictatorship.

Such scholarly work! It's breathtaking!
In one short sentence you've completely
reformed Josephus, done away with his
enormous string of errors even as you've
effectively accounted for the peculiar
lack of evidence which, up until now, had
always seemed to condemn your theories as
the rantings of a mad man. Congratulations.

(Note large number of exclamation points)

I kid you not (that means, "Dude, I ain't joking here"),
Matt Giwer -- the one and only Matt Giwer -- has one
hit on Google Scholar and this is it:

: The web of hate: An exploratory study of holocaust
: denial on the net
http://summit.sfu.ca/item/9007

If you score a copy of the paper you'll have a little difficulty
finding Giwer. He's located within a footnote on page 38.

Yes, everybody laugh at him! I promised to interview
him, give him a chance to deliver his best argument,
and then place his interview on the web and elsewhere
where he or anyone else could access it.

He fled like a little girl. Refused to do it.

As has been noted here (and elsewhere on the net) over and
over again for many years, Giwer is a rather notorious holocaust
denier and major anti-semite.

He's allowed to have those opinions. What he is not allowed
to do is to represent himself as open and unbiased on these
issues.

Ole Bobby wasn't a highlander. IIRC he didn't speak Gaelic.

So I googled and I'm familiar with the battle. What else was I supposed
to see? Robert certainly had highlanders in his army but neither he nor
his commanders were highlanders. The feudal system imported from the
continent was far to entrenched and the highlanders were pretty much
resistant to its demands. But they would fight.

Most of his works were in English. Only the funny ones, such as the
hymn to the Haggis, were in Scots.

He was a Norman knight with holdings in both countries, which was quit
common at the time. Some of the finance for his campaign came from
revenues from his estates in, of all places, Surrey.

Really? I hadn't heard. He's kept it a secret over in this group.

> He's allowed to have those opinions.

Really? Who granted the permission, and why?

As it turns out, he can & does anything he pleases, including
misrepresenting himself as open & unbiased, and repeating
disinformation.
