Well, to answer the original topic of this thread, if it hasn't been answered successfully already(I skipped after reading the first page), they were trying to find secular Jews and convince them, "shame" them as it were, to not participate in this stupid christmas thing you heathen Christians have there.

You know how it goes- the secualr Jew doesn't really care about christmas from a religeous PoV and just follows everyone else(who also forgot it's another stupid religeous event) in celebrating it, and shopping, of course. Shopping is the true spirit of christmas. Marry was shopping for "72 hours" pills at the time, but got late being distracted by those damn new Roman vazes. Damn new '00 collections. :x

Speaking of stupid CHRISTIAN religeous habbits everyone else has to endure, I hope God(that's R'hllor, ye damn Other worshippers!) won't have me suffer too many drunk Russians tonight, driving to and from their new year parties.

For the night is indeed dark and full of terrors... :(

Hey, Shtrud'ling! Things OK where you are? Far enough away from the fireworks?

(I just love fireworks for New Years! :lol: )

Take care and stay warm. (Is it very cold there?)


(And if a Russian gives you shit tonight, tell 'em "Yop tvayu mat!" Be ready to run, though. :P )

Nah, the Russians are usually the calm ones, it's just that I'm expecting heavy drinking tonight, and I HATE drunkards, like my long-dead(and rightly so!) uncle.
It's the north-african "Jews" that are the mane bane of my work anyway.

It's kinda cold here, we've had some stormy weather that's settled but we're having on-off rains and sunny skies(raining right now).

I'm sure it's very mild for Europe or kinda anywhere else but still sucks to work outside(and the gas station gets VERY windy somehow, much more than anywhere else in this area).
Also, I only really wear a thin "pijama", a thin-normal shirt and a cheap coat at work(and we all feel encumbered with the damn coats, thin as they are). If I used my military coat I'd be mostly snug and warm.

The roof leaks all over the place, the slope is in need of serious fixing to actually send the water down to the drains etc. You'd think they closed it for a day or two to do all this stuff, maybe on some slow holiday, but no.
And it's been like that for year from what I hear, and years to come from what little care the managers show.

The "fireworks" are on the other side of the country(which means only a few dozen miles away anyway, lol).

So many questions...north-African "Jews" and what it's like going to work in your pijamas. :P

Another time, though.... :lol:

I hear the Ethiopian Jews are hiding the Ark and won't let anyone see it.

Sort of reminds me of the story of the notes. :roll:

But at least we "know" that the Ark is real, considering that that story has been around for thousands of years. Like God. :wink:

I believe the Ark was real, not sure I buy the magic lightening from it that zaps people.

Maybe the contents of the notes was something along the lines of, "Shut up, Byron."

:P

The ark (or at least the object - a big sacred war drum, that inspired the ark myth) is in a museum in Zimbabwe. Not the original - that got broken, but they made a replacement.

The Ark was no doubt real, given all that detail about its design.

As for the rest of the BS (Biblical Shtuff), well, the "challenged" and those who want to believe, believe. :roll:

I think you guys are confusing the ark of the covenant and Noah's Ark. I know, it gets all screwed up when God uses the same term twice in the same book to describe different things. What we need here is a better editor.

I'm not sure about that but I think it did transform into a giant robot.

Don't bother. Exposure to your Canadianness induces terminal giggling. :P

The Ethiopians in question are Christians. I don't put much stock into their claims (as well as numerous other claims of theirs) as they claim that they took the Ark around the time of Solomon, whereas the Ark was present in Jerusalem (according to the Nach) still hundreds of years later up until a few decades prior to the Babylonian invasion.

LOL!

Ark (of Noah) = tévah (תֵּבָה)
Ark (of the Covenant) = aron (אָרוֹן)

While you're at it, the Nach = Nevi'im "Prophets" + Ketuvim "Writings". Like everyone knows that.

Anyway, the King James English version was the authoritative text. Everyone knows that. :roll:

Right...like the English translations of Klingon Hamlet, the Hebrew is a translation of the English. :lol:
