"The valley of Hinnom in Jerusalem was used as a place for burning
rubbish and
for latrines. As B. Pixner has argued ( An Essene Quarter on Mt Zion?
Franciscan
Printing Press 1976), the Essene Gate was part of a wall only a little
above the
edge of the Hinnom ravine. I would add that its position is a sign of
the first
Essene expulsion, to the slum part of the city. Their subsequent
expulsion to
Qumran punished them even more severely, for their interference in
politics. At
Qumran they settled down, adapted to their harsh surroundings, and
developed the
kind of life that was eventually called monastic. It included the most
stringent
rules for subduing the demands of the flesh."

Your talk is cheap.
If you can't take the pressure, get out of the kitchen.

Same price as yours, actually. But you didn't say "bigot" so I'm not
drinking. You can't fool me.
