Dear Readers;
When you pop onto the home page of ecclesia.org anymore it may be one's first impression that this forum is all about me. I have written more Posts than anyone. In a collateral manner to Rosenthal and Ravage (Original War by Propaganda) I have 'taken this place over'. Like the opening frames of Twilight Zone "We control this... "We are in control of that." stated quite matter-of-factly. Through a graphics library and good communications skills (debatable, but if you remove "people" skills from "communications" skills I can win my point) I have developed a palate from which to paint pictures without having to resort to subjective shouting to make my points. I have had two or three of the most articulate Internet writers booted from this forum (which in some ways I deeply regret) for simply knowing how to keep my cool. [A trick I picked up from the blacks in jail, by the way - it's okay to shout; just don't throw that first punch. White guys seem to fall for it almost every time.]
I made myself transparent what I am up to here (advanced-resonance inductive plasma physics). Albeit difficult to understand at a glance the Internet is a forum composed of “1”s and “0”s. That is a perfect medium for resonance – truth. I have developed what I call an “echo chamber” in conjunction with the US Patent and Trademark Office. Typically earmarked “DoD” because of the applications in biowarfare countermeasures – curing epidemics like SARS in Beijing and Toronto (see? It worked!). But more to the point about ecclesia.org it is a psychometric analysis measuring tool; a gauge for the organic webcrawler initiated by a new and improved viral tapeworm – you all on the other side of the keyboard from me. The supercomputers in this new Twilight Zone are situated between your two ears ‘out there’.

Recently Oneisraelite and I got into an identity spat because he was saying he writes from Israel when in fact his server IP is located somewhere in the “USA”. Well, I won my point but that is not to say he had no point at all. I suppose that if there were an “undeclared” tag we might both prefer to select that, Oneisraelite and myself too. That would be among quite a few others who have educated themselves about territorial venue.
Oneisraelite’s slogan/allocution has thus changed since Admin insisted he no longer bolster his knowledge of Hebrew with the false impression he might actually be located in the State of Israel:
quote:
P.S. The next time you see "State __________" on a form or application (prayer), try writing in either Hawwah or Living Being instead of New York or Colorado.
fellowcitizen of the commonwealth of Yisra'el,
NOT the man-made, fictional USA.
Ephesians 2:12 & 19
An act done by me against my will is not my act.
Oneisraelite’s slogan clearly expresses the gibberish associated with a man in crisis. That is psychoanalysis from a layman but it characterizes something about me. I openly declare many of you readers to be paranoid. Simply because you fit the definition I find in the dictionaries. You express complex persecutions. On the other hand I express delusions of grandeur, waving my bill of exchange and saying I own everything you see [at least during the constructive confidence and security building measures of the bill; until you come to your senses and properly decrypt (apply the right Key to Jesus' parables) Mark 4:10-12].

Bill of Exchange Image 2

Cecilia’s computer screen
I even back numerous default judgments with the bill as a fidelity bond. You can get your own certified copy by calling (719) 520-6200 and see for yourself without any doubt that it cured on September 11, 2001 by the lawful stipulation judgment would ensue 30 days after being ignored.
I suppose my problem is that even though you (many of you) have read the Holy Bible you will not seriously discuss the kingdom of heaven on earth in terms of pragmatic promises from God. I make the presumption that the bill is right-on and possibly use an alarming coincidence about September 11 to bolster and confirm my delusions. In my mind it is because you have viewed and studied God’s promises that the wealth of the wicked will be somehow delivered to His people on the dawn of the Seventh Day – the second advent of the Messiah (ben David following ben Joseph). It is just a little hard to swallow that a servant would actually cure his inheritance out of a bill of exchange on the foreign exchange market. Audacity like that may be easily confused with delusions of grandeur, I will readily agree!
The other thing is that a much better model of history and the Bible’s New Covenant is found in accepting Jesus survived the cross and had at least one surviving son through Mary Magdelene who fled to France (Gaul) before the Roman invasion of Israel in 70 AD. I destroy your arguments otherwise by pulling Hebrews 11:1 against you – calling you subjective babbling faithful idiots – that you are silly to buy into such Santy Clause scenarios. People die and stay dead. Excluding near-death experiences like Jesus’. [I just picked up both volumes of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon yesterday. So I will start that research soon.] Also I am formerly a calibration technician and have been harsh on writers who get into Sacred Name doctrines that disagree with the standards about Hebrew pronunciation and theophoric origins.
So hear my promise to you. If Admin will permit, anybody may say what he or she pleases about me here. I will not surmount any better rebuttal than to try my best to explain myself if you equip me with details or quotes in your complaint or insult. This forum is elegant. I do not find anything else like it anywhere with the graphics and the orderly rules etc. So I propose that because I have dominated it so, Admin allow ventilation and even insulting remarks to go un-reprimanded for the purpose of constructive psychoanalysis of David Merrill. I promise that no acute insults will ensue here or elsewhere on the forum resulting from your Posts here. I will bite my tongue, regardless of how annoying or hurtful your remarks may get here. But I warn you in advance not to try the Admin’s patience about this special license, if granted.
Regards,
David Merrill.

"It is also important for the State to inculcate [instill] in its subjects an aversion [repugnance] to any "conspiracy theory of history;" for a search for "conspiracies" means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds. If, however, any tyranny imposed by the State, or venality [willingness to be bribed or bought off], or aggressive war, was caused not by the State rulers but by mysterious and arcane "social forces," or by the imperfect state of the world or, if in some way, everyone was responsible ("We Are All Murderers," proclaims one slogan), then there is no point to the people becoming indignant or rising up against such misdeeds. Furthermore, an attack on "conspiracy theories" means that the subjects will become more gullible in believing the "general welfare" reasons that are always put forth by the State for engaging in any of its despotic actions. A "conspiracy theory" can unsettle the system by causing the public to doubt the State's ideological propaganda." - The Anatomy of the State by Murray N. Rothbard

The link in context.
The Ranting and Raving forum would render the link dysfunctional soon or by now anyway. The topics are not archived. That was my complaint. Well, at least one of them. I have been over there studying the Quatloosian mentality of escapism and protectionism of the status quo.
Sadly, because people are in such need of remedy, I am not finding time to keep researching Quatloos. But I feel I have acquired a useful and accurate profile. For instance, the biggest contributor to forming the profile was "wserra" or Wesley Serra, the pudgy attorney in the corner:
http://www.iwfbsnewyork.com/
He is the attorney who called the good 1000+ people at this 1995 grand jury pig farmers and landscapers; meaning America's slave population. How elitist!

David,
I'm sorry for the confusion - I didn't mean for you to eliminate the link since it was extremely interesting. I was hoping that you'd use a description as a hyperlink clickable substitute.
The clickable description will appear in your text in place of the extremely long url "link to" which will be concealed from view.
Please bring it back David so that all may go to that link for a look at some most interesting commentary.
Many thanks again for your consideration.

David,
May I request that you somehow edit or truncate the URL
(quatloos.com) you provided in your post above?
Its extreme length forces browsers into the ultra-wide mode
which can be an annoyance to some readers. And to me.
Many thanks for your consideration.

Their "existence " in "words" is one of non existence. There existence in "being" is the reality.
I thank you for confirming you were understood. I like art and the inherent freedom therein. I play guitar and aside from learning chords am taking no lessons. I enjoy it and so play every day. The techniques are governed by laws but also are in no way groomed except by my "ear". Maybe before arthritis or death sets in other people will ask me to pick up my guitar. Maybe, just maybe others will enjoy hearing me.
So I understand your gist. We really have no choice but to live by natural or "Real Laws". That is inherent in the meaning of the terms. Extending beyond the words into reality.
I have built an echo chamber for words. My words linger archived and I prod others with my fabrication, like on Quatloos and they search engine (a noun I fashioned into a verb) "Regards David Merrill" or "advanced-resonance inductive plasma physics". This accesses the echo chamber. They bounce around virtual reality for relics to spin into rediculing me. At least they think they are. In reality they are building the echo chamber. [Therefore I despise the Ranting and Raving topic that disposes of the material after being dormant for five days. Like a spongy wall - free space.]
[Edited out; I don't like ultra-wide mode.]
Anything that happens outside my earshot or with history, my lifetime is hearsay. You know that. But I go to the federal repository and grab the best hearsay I can. It is a fabrication, agreed. Thing is I grabbed the thickest, sturdiest fibers possible before weaving it. It tolerates trial. My fabrication of reality in words holds up to testing.
The purpose is to generate more words. Behind the empty ridicule, in between the desperation in the words, I can examine the escapism. Primarily that they deny War and Emergency Powers since 1861 and 1933. And of course with Heidi's research for her new book, the existence of fiat money.

Dear David
I have no problem with your response.
I am attempting to awaken minds to their free and independent potential.
No matter what "words" you reference they are "proven of" or "disproven of" by other "words".
Example.= Scientists will tell you that no machine can output more than was input into it.
They will prove this with "words" and yet we all have machines in our homes etc that do just this!
I refer to the "over unity" refrigerators and air conditioning systems. ( some output up to 10 times their input!)
Their "existence " in "words" is one of non existence. There existence in "being" is the reality.
Man's "words" tell us that there is no such thing as perpetual motion and yet everything is in perpetual motion . The chairs that we sit on and their electrons continuously going around and around. Everything we see is madeup likewise in various combinations of molecules, atoms, electrons etc and all are in continuous perpetual motion.
The seat I am sitting on is a perpetual motion machine.
Man's "words" fail yet again!
I acknowledge that we all need stability but that stability is not provided for by the "words" of man.
The "charts" you refer too are imperfect because they are "man made words". You know as well as anyone else that those "charts" are redundant before they are put out. The Laws Of Nature see to that.
The true "parameters" to be sourced are the Laws Of Nature or as I have previously explained The Laws Of GOD!
Only in them do we find the true stability of reality hence my "ridiculing" of parameters is exposed in a logical way for all to clearly understand my motives. So my living at 66 and a half nowhere street should now appear to you in a different light.
I am "controlled" by Laws and not "words". I also know what the missing timeline that everyone is querrying relates to but "seek and ye shall find" because it's knowledge does not change my course or yours.It's just another "fact".
Question everything and especially the "words" of men.
Remain free and independant as your creator created you. Always question the "words" of men and live the " Real Laws".
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Regards artsfree

Dear Artsfree;
True to your handle you are ridiculing rules - parameters.
I like to mess around with GPS stuff. And maps (cartography). I like to keep my bearings. I enjoy the federal repository.

I enjoy this resource because it makes me think I have a handle on the truth. What really happened. Not just some rumor. Objective and near-absolute; not up for debate.
But what you propose is a true debate. Shall we get into artistic research and declare the scientific process as we go - experiment by experiment? Maybe. That seems to be what you are proposing.
Sometimes the truth of the Holy Bible only seems to be that it is miraculously (and I do not use that word lightly) the oldest set of written records of its size that has survived in nearly the original form. It may not be true, but the allure of its antiquity creates the illusion it is true. Since Isaiah and Jeremiah (and others) predicted there would be a man on the landscape of history who would change everything, the Messiah of God, and sure enough there was, I am inclined to believe there is something to the infrastructure. The foundation is true even if some of the events are symbolic.
The mathematics is fascinating. I mastered the Trachtenberg Speed System of Basic Mathematics and sure enough, things just started jumping out of the Bible at me:
http://ecclesia.org/forum/images/suitors/DanielCalendar.jpg
Daniel's Calendar
And we find the only time Jesus answered specifically about when these events would transpire, he indicates we should draw some timelines out of the Book of Daniel.
So I will debate with you. However out-of-the-box my parameters may get. Parameters are a good thing with proper research. Even in music and painting art.

David Merrill. |

The context is right.
It's Man that makes things complicated.
The context that you fail to pick up on is that there is "NO LAW" unless it is enforced.
I fall because it is enforced against my will by gravity. If there was no gravity I would not fall.
Listen to what is being said here. Im not ranting and im not being controlled by the words of man here.
Has any of you fallen over because you pronounced/spelt a name right or wrong here?
Are you not just excercising your free will to debate over something that is lawless by nature ( open to interpretation)?
Yes I know i'll have to cop it for that last statement!!!
Has any of you ever spoken Ill here or taken the name of your "GOD" in vain,to be so punished by the enforcement of any law?
Since when has a person's search for perfection been a crime? I say only when the slavish search for perfection infringes upon a man's duty to himself and his family does it become a problem/ an obsession/an error.
you quote:=
For instance there are parameters which recognize an authority in your parents to label upon you a certain set of sounds called your name. You may choose another for yourself but it does not follow in the numero-linguistic proper placement of sounds. [The Hebrew alphabet is also the numbering system.] In Hebrew, the sounds have a meaning; a description. It is interesting to take a name and consider with Strong's lexicon what you would be saying to a biblical Hebrew when you say it.(unquote).
Who's parameters? Only when it's my parameters does it apply otherwise "I do not consent!"
I may have problems getting mail delivered or you finding my house at 66 and a half nowhere street but if you want to play on my playground then you play my rules but if you want to play your master's rules then I will look you up at your "given" address by your "given" name as you play by your master's "given" rules.( If you had a master that is!).
If you want to be a slave to the spelling of the name of "GOD" or just a true follower after truth or just be a "nut" is entirely your business and has nothing whatsoever to do with me or anybody else unless they wish to join in. It is your free choice and their's.
(quote)I suppose the premise is basically that there is an inherent power to be found in whatever is true. Though there may be many things that are true, like the number of sovereign Gods, there is only one Truth.(unquote)
Logic tells me that there is only one truth but does logic serve us well here?
There are over 4000 religions /sects out there that have the one truth and yet what is the only true and correct way to brush one's hair?
Beware of words (people) that control you!!!!
Put your talents to what is best for you and your's and what is that? It will be whatever you decide it to be!

Wise words indeed. But I think a little too liberal and without context.
For instance there are parameters which recognize an authority in your parents to label upon you a certain set of sounds called your name. You may choose another for yourself but it does not follow in the numero-linguistic proper placement of sounds. [The Hebrew alphabet is also the numbering system.] In Hebrew, the sounds have a meaning; a description. It is interesting to take a name and consider with Strong's lexicon what you would be saying to a biblical Hebrew when you say it.
The context I would like to provide is that OneIsraelite used to quote passages from the Bible and insert his preferred spelling/pronunciation into the places where the original interpreter/translator had other words and spellings. OneIsraelite and I go way back on this issue.
Both OneIsraelite and I feel it important to get this issue correct - The proper way to prounounce the Name of God. Albeit he looks at it as a literal command and I see it as physics - the power of prayer. After a bit of reading you will see me using "God" or "Lord" and "Jesus Christ" and you will likely find OneIsraelite using one consistent spelling; except that he grew tired of correction for misquoting before I got tired of correcting him.
He chose to come over to a more liberally moderated forum I set up specifically for criticism. What I really meant in the initial context of the debate was that of 100 suitors, none are free to just say, "FRNs stink so I will only deal with substance." I cannot help people fashion and cure remedy in their households if I were to consider Proverbs 11:1 a cut and dry command to abandon currency, fractional reserve or not if it is not of complete proper balances.
His perfectionism was countered with the different Names of the God we serve; OneIsrealite serves Yahuwah and I serve Yehowah. By Jewish, Hebrew and Aramaic conventions across the board these pronunciations are like night and day.
I suppose the premise is basically that there is an inherent power to be found in whatever is true. Though there may be many things that are true, like the number of sovereign Gods, there is only one Truth.
Regards,
David Merrill.

If we are truely free as Sovereign people then I can call myself any name I like.
I can be the "king of Jupiter" or the "chief of Police " in my own given area of influence.
I could call myself "ens Legis" also.
I might even call myself oneisraelite or david merrill but I dont think I will as this may create confusion.
I can name where I reside anything I like (maybe israel or usa or ussr?) and my house number can be of my own choosing(66 and a half?).
It is my understanding that this site encourages postings on religion.
If you will allow me to worship whomever and whatever I choose then It stands to reason that I must allow you the same opportunity.
I do not see my place in this forum as that of being a denigrator of another's belief system although I may "querry" your reasoning and present "to your notice" mine as an alternative consideration. I see a helping hand as being more benificial than a condemning sneer.
In the end analysis whatever I say or do or call myself or wherever I live will not change even one eternal law.
I was born free but this freedom is also to be used as I see fit. It is my decision whether or not I volounteer to put my finger in a light socket with the power on and electrocute myself.
My intelligence (the light within me?) tells me to use this freedom to my benefit and the benefit of others. I choose to follow the eternal Laws and receive the rewards that flow therefrom. I choose NOT to fall from a tall building with the obvious reward of not being injured.
I do not wish to cast stones!..They hurt people.
If I do not wish to be injured then I must not hurt others for are Natures Laws nothing more or less than the Laws Of GOD?
I suppose it can all be summed up with the following quote
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

DM: Your question asks what God thinks. Do I have that correctly?
My position being intelligence nexus between over 100 sensory nodes does not really require such reckoning.
ONEISRAELITE: What on Yahuwah’s green Kingdom called Earth did you just say? Can you (are you able), and would you, please explain that phrase in laymen’s terms? It seems to be indicating that you are so intelligent that you needn’t bother yourself with, or that you are above, such calculations.
DM: Your question asks what God thinks. Do I have that correctly?
…I would have difficulty conning all those people every day (people whom I give the FRNs to) if I were to burden myself with God's disapproval about it.
ONEISRAELITE: Does this indicate that you do not burden yourself with thoughts of your Creator’s will? The first question, I suppose, should be does your “intelligence nexus between over 100 sensory nodes” reckon there even is a Creator or does your “intelligence nexus between over 100 sensory nodes” tell you that this was all merely an accident? Regardless of your answers to these questions, or whether you choose not to answer at all, I don’t think you’ll have much trouble “conning [defrauding] all those people every day”…all being most of course.
DM: Your question asks what God thinks. Do I have that correctly? …I imagine if me spending the notes upset God he would have the power to pester me with unpleasant dreams and sleepless nights.
ONEISRAELITE: Pester?
Pester, v.t. ...to harass with little vexations.
Depends which ‘elohiym [ruler/master] we are speaking of, I suppose.
The really neat part is that by using the generic title “God”, people may believe that one is speaking of the Creator of the heavens, the earth and seas, and as such is the Melchisedec [King de jure] of the universe, but in the truest sense of the word, the author could fill in the ruler/master of his choice, as there be gods many, even his own name, if he was so inclined.

Firstly, we ask, are you certain that your accusation of, we “refuse” to tell who set us on “this course of doctrine”, (What is a “course of doctrine”, anyway?) is truth? Aside from the fact that we do not ever recall being asked this particular question, the answer is…no one. Our own studies have simply led us in this direction as we have tried to point out to you, at least a couple of times now.
I do not believe that. With such a predominance of evidence about the correct pronunciation of the Name, somebody, somewhere at some time influenced you into looking for little scraps and snippets to the contrary. You quoted an author for the first time I recall. The author offered misdirection. Post that link here and let's end it here. Readers notice that none of the author's examples at the end of the chapter cited support the conclusion about the pronunciation of the Name.
About theophoric:
www.ecclesia.org/forum/images/suitors/Yehudah.jpg
So you can see I did not make it up. Also you can see that it obviously means having the Name of God instilled within the word or name.
You seem to think it an aspersion to call me in all upper case:
quote:
You are an out and out liar, DAVID MERRILL! We never stated that we were writing from the STATE OF ISRAEL, and it was definitely not "to generate this false air of authority", and we have never used the name "Yehuwah" (We think that is closer to your pronunciation). You should count your marbles and you should be ashamed! (Yahu'hanan [John] 8:44)
If your stance was truthful you would have altered "Israel" to "USA" immediately upon the first victim who believed at first glance you were located physically in Israel. And that being in Israel gave you more credibility about Biblical and Hebrew matters. But instead you defended you could write under a bio like you were OneIsraelite writing from Israel.
quote:
“My federal repository”…delusions of grandeur; very interesting. “Your silly author”…how very typical of you DAVID MERRILL, and they are not my silly authors simply because they disagree with your doctrines.
Forfeiture of birthright? How expected! Maybe I should have said your dishonest author. You presented him to us. Present the link here; let's end it here.

We decided to relegate this response in a position of relative obscurity. We thought this valueless thread a good place for it.
<quote>More deduced by your lack of evidence within that scope.<end quote>
Can you please explain this incomplete sentence? We are not certain what vain thought you were trying to put forth here.
<quote>The main evidence I am using was a man named David Shutt (whom I never met) pursuading [sic] another man Joe Sorensen here after returning from Israel.<end quote>
Okay, just to keep the facts straight, your evidence comes from a witness whom you never met, who reportedly said something to a man, you may or may not even know personally?
<quote>There David had met with rabbis who taught him this "Yahuwah" doctrine.<end quote>
And to top it off the first time you told this “third-hand story” here at ecclesia.org you said the rabbis taught this fictitious person the name Yahuway, but now you are saying that they taught him the name Yahuwah. We are not very impressed thus far.
<quote>When Joe would read passages from the Bible he insisted on emphasizing "Yahuway" in misquote, for every time his KJV would say LORD etc. I showed him that by Hebrew tradition he was removing the Name of God from being theophoric. That just upset him that I would use Encyclopedia Judaica for my argument.<end quote>
Did you recently unearth this newly created word theophoric? Has anyone else but us attempted to look up this word?

Sorry, no matches were found.
Oh, and by the way, you are now back saying that it was Yahuway again; thought you might like to know.
<quote>And here is another thing. When Joe first told me about David he talked about how wonderfully entheusiastic [sic] David was. He even bragged, "You should look up that word, entheusiastic [sic] in your Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary." So I did:
quote:
A belief or conceit of private revelation; the vein confidence or opinion of a person, that he has special divine communications from the Supreme Being, or familiar intercourse with him.
Joe said, "Webster was wrong!" and as you may guess that is about the final conversation we had.<end quote>
What this has to do with the topic at hand then, or now, is totally beyond us. But we would like to ask, where did you find this apparently non-existent 1827 Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary?
Noah Webster finished writing his handwritten Dictionary in January, 1825, at his lodgings in Cambridge, England. However, “English publishers, engaged in a new edition of Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary were indifferent of Webster’s scholarly research and refused his manuscript. Like his forebears Noah set sail for America…[and] an agreement was finally made with Sherman Converse and on May 8, 1827 the printing was begun by Hezekiah Howe in New Haven. In November, 1828, the last pages were completed and bound into two bulky quarto volumes.”
Unless there is another Webster who wrote dictionaries, it would seem a physical impossibility for anyone to have an “1827 Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary”, since the 1828 An American Dictionary of the English Language was apparently the only dictionary that he (Noah Webster) ever wrote (not counting his, "The American Spelling Book" of 1783, which you obviously do not have), and printing was not even completed until November 1828 and a search of the internet demonstrates that no one else has apparently been able to find a Webster’s dictionary by this title.
<quote>So you may all consider it a hypothesis.<end quote>
Don’t know if we can honestly give it that much credit, DAVID MERRILL.
<quote>I have given up trying to get the source of this doctrine out of you OneIsraelite. You refuse to tell us who really set you on this course of doctrine.<end quote>
Firstly, we ask, are you certain that your accusation of, we “refuse” to tell who set us on “this course of doctrine”, (What is a “course of doctrine”, anyway?) is truth? Aside from the fact that we do not ever recall being asked this particular question, the answer is…no one. Our own studies have simply led us in this direction as we have tried to point out to you, at least a couple of times now.
<quote>But I strongly suspect by the tenacity you display about it, the crooked attorney tactics like demanding evidence when that is what I have been doing for over a year, comes from somebody like David Shutt. This tactic creates the illusion for the reader that I have yet to present any evidence. Slick.<end quote>
Let’s see, you knew a guy, who knew a guy, whom you never even met, that told you something that you cannot even keep straight and you accuse us of “crooked attorney tactics” and of being “slick”. Oh, and by the way, it is apparently not an illusion at all, but seems to be the fact of the matter; you have no evidence, no witnesses, nothing of substance, by your own testimony.
<quote>You cannot speak for LegalBear.<end quote>
I’m sure he doesn’t mind, but you can go squeal on us to him to see if you can muddy the waters a bit more, just like you did with him and Mission to Israel, remember?
<quote>He imported some very edifying commentary starting two Topics a while ago and he changed the Name of God to "Yahuwah" or "Yahuway", I forget which. That is wrong to misquote people and especially in my opinion studied Bible translators. So that was fixed.<end quote>
We perceive this forgetfulness may occur when a person spends too much time attacking the messenger; that person just ends up misquoting them if he is not careful.
<quote>And you used to generate this false air of authority for the purpose of promulgating your "Yehuwah" pronunciation doctrine.<end quote>
You are an out and out liar, DAVID MERRILL! We never stated that we were writing from the STATE OF ISRAEL, and it was definitely not "to generate this false air of authority", and we have never used the name "Yehuwah" (We think that is closer to your pronunciation). You should count your marbles and you should be ashamed! (Yahu'hanan [John] 8:44)
<quote>And to this day you sign-off with a nearly nonsensical disclaimer because Admin corrected your geographical location. Unnecessary except to show your colors.<end quote>
For what feels like the umpteenth time, had it asked for “geographical location” rather than “country” we would have been glad to reveal that we sojourn in the place called North America, but since we are not 14th Amendment citizens of the UNITED STATES, it would have been a lie to lay claim to that as our “country”.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
MSWord 2000’s synonyms of the word country: state, nation, realm, kingdom, fatherland, motherland, nation state Noticeably missing is geographical location.
We are fellowcitizens of the commonwealth of Yisra’el, not the man-made STATE OF ISRAEL, and we have made this abundantly clear to everyone on the face of the planet, with the possible exception of you, DAVID MERRILL, who apparently can not, or will not, comprehend this fact.
<quote>But I find it interesting and am finally deducing your confusion…<end quote>
We believe it is you who are confused, perhaps due to imaginary witnesses (whom you have never met) and dictionaries that have never been written, but this is admittedly, pure speculation.
<quote>…your adamant claim that the Name of God is so important…<end quote>
It is the Scripture itself that appears to claim that the Name of the Supreme Suveran is important, not us. We merely seek to do the will of Him who inspired its writing. Do you condemn us for this?
<quote>…you must tilt this windmill till your final breath, is due to a seeker (Christian) approaching a rabbi and thinking he or she would get the truth.<end quote>
Again, you are either a blatant liar, DAVID MERRILL, or seriously delusional. It was you who knew a man, who knew a man that you never even met, that supposedly approached a rabbi. Remember???
<quote>Instead the non-thoephoric version was disclosed like an ancient esoteric.<end quote>
There’s that silly word theophoric once more, which as we write this shows up underlined in red by MSWord2000 as a non-word. Esoteric what? Esoteric is not a noun; it is an adjective. And what on earth is that above convoluted, nonsensical sentence supposed to be saying, if you do not mind our asking?
<quote>One only needs open up Strong's, Young's or Richardson's concordance/lexicons.<end quote>
We crack these books far more times than most people do, probably including you, DAVID MERRILL, but we do not always settle for what they have found, for after all, they too are but men, who have made many errors, as easily as you and I have done. We are just following instructions; do you condemn us for this?
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
<quote>You tempt me to go to my federal repository and get the Name from the sources your silly author pulled his non-supporting examples from. Thing is I already have presented plenty of evidence.<end quote>
“My federal repository”…delusions of grandeur; very interesting. “Your silly author”…how very typical of you DAVID MERRILL, and they are not my silly authors simply because they disagree with your doctrines.
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
The Greek word translated “offences” in the above verse is skandalon, it is the basis of our English word scandal.
Scandal, n. [L. scandalum; Gr. In Greek, this word signifies a stumbling block, something against which a person impinges, or which causes him to fall.]
1. Offense given by the faults of another.
[In this sense, we now generally use offense.]
2. Reproachful aspersion; opprobrious censure; defamatory speech or report; something uttered which is false and injurious to reputation.
3. Shame; reproach; disgrace. - 1828 An American Dictionary of the English Language
From this comes the Adversaries’ modus operandi, “Discredit and Destroy”; Attack the messenger’s credibility, cast aspersions at him, censure him, make defamatory speeches and reports about him, in order to draw attention away from his message, and if and when that fails…
<quote>This particular topic is about right to speak the ineffible [sic] Name. You chose to grab the opportunity to teach your docrine [sic] about pronunciation.<end quote>
To which, we believe, you stated earlier how quickly you saw that the way the name was vocalized and the right to speak it were directly connected. Remember???
<quote> I developed my hypothesis about the modern day rabbis from the two.<end quote>
From the two what’s, DAVID MERRILL? That is an incomplete thought and we can only guess that you are referring to the witness you have never met and the “Joe somebody” whom perhaps no one else has ever met.
<quote>I have already found and displayed gobs of evidence supporting the hypothesis.<end quote>
Gobs of evidence supporting what hypothesis? What on earth are you trying to convey, DAVID MERRILL?? That there were two somethings? Two men perhaps?
<quote>Regards,
David Merrill.<end quote>
Note well that this does not say “Kind regards”…merely regards…
regard is the most neutral of the terms here, in itself usually implying evaluation of worth rather than recognition of it – Webster’s New World Dictionary of American English, Third College Edition, copyright 1988, page 1129
<quote>P.S. I am pleased you have managed to spin pagan idolater into a compliment.<end quote>
It was either make it into a positive or take offense at your only slightly masked innuendo; we chose the former. 
In retrospect, this was, after all, probably a very appropriate place for our response: Psychoanalyzing David Merrill
fellowcitizen of the commonwealth of Yisra'el,
NOT the man-made, fictional USA.

Wasn't the Jewish Quaballah a fruit of the exile of the house of Judah and the Kingdom of the South to Babylon and the "insights" that were acquired there? It seems the Christian Quaballah may have roots in Babylon as well, albeit not so directly.
I personally do not believe in "the rapture" as espoused by many within Christendom and it occurs to me that the scripture used to support it by them may refer to something quite different.
We are all flawed, with many significant defects in function, and our programming acquired by associations, even from within the womb onward throughout life development, is a corruption of what should have been.
The "elitism" that has come to be does not compute for me. Messiah lived his human life to exemplify that humility, lowliness of self opinion, compassion, putting others first and, perhaps most difficult, showing love and kindness to those who would be our enemies, is the path to follow. Rome and the early "church" of Rome appear to have played a major role in distorting the desired lifestyle and aspirations of those who were drawn to the simple message.
Some shy away from discussion for a variety of reasons - preferring to maintain a lower profile. Calvin Coolidge, ranked by scholars as perhaps the most taciturn president in American history, when asked why he spoke so little replied "I have never been hurt by anything I didn't say."
For those who are reading - it's a start!

Tying illusive spells to awareness, not ignorance. There is a great deal of hope to be found in that. Meaning that a paradigm shift might not need people to cooperate for their own good; but rather that a shared preconscious mental energy might cause people to become aware of some things.
I came to the understanding that the Book of Revelation is largely conventional Judaism illiterated with a bias against Rome. So your mention of the beast was catagorized into a Futurism (Rapture Theory) style of elitism I have dealt with here before. The Christian Qabbalah has a basic Jewish Qabbalah foundation and I wish you to know that I am just being careful not to set anyone off. Once one feels justified in arguing with Admin about it, they are pretty much out of here.
I am doing my eye exercises. Quite literally. I like the set of exercises from Stephen T. Chang's book The Complete System of Self Healing - Internal Exercises. The haitus is from correction. I have been very prolific about correcting people and it may be good to express what I think is correct but discussion groups are really for discussion and while there are a lot of readers here, not many are writing.
Regards,
David Merrill. |

It is said that eye exercises are good for the vision... meaning that most people either look straight ahead or down often. Knowing that, should "rattle" the brain housing group. |
