TIPS FOR NAVIGATING THIS SITE

Note that this is an old page and kind of obsolete. If you want a much more articulate summary of 'what I believe and why I believe it' visit the following page, which near the end gives the best summation I have managed to write so far...the Racist Origins of the Christmas Myth

Visit the Signs page (posted in May 2002) for a summary of some past and recent signs of the times...

This page is divided into three parts: my personal experiences, a letter published in a magazine in 1975 describing these experiences, and a brief summary of the Biblical scholarship found on my site.

I have just noticed that when font sizes are increased some of the pages on my news section are 'cut off' on the bottom using my browser. If this happens to you, use the menu on Netscape or Internet Explorer to reduce font sizes. As well, with a smaller font size, when you hit the 'back button' what sometimes happens is that you see a white empty page' ( the bottom of the page). Scroll up using the scroll bar to find the content once again...

I have noticed people 'hand spidering' my pages researching the Bible and my essays pages, and I have also been software crawled which is time consuming, even on a fast internet connection. (Downloading zip files iq Quicker than using a spider on my site - there are thousands of files here, currently over 50 megabytes and growing, and no one has ever finished a spider crawl of my site for that reason...) For this reason, I have posted zip files for off line browsing of this site which you can access by visiting the zip file page.


Personal Experiences

I made an attempt to sketch out these experiences on my page describing the story so far ... I have decided to replace this page with a prophecy and reflections section.

      When I was twelve I heard a voice coming out of nowhere which said, 'the telephone is going to ring, your grandfather is dead.' A few minutes later this happened. A few years later I was approached by a bright luminous object in Jasper Park, Alberta. A few years ago myself and some friends of mine were dive bombed by one of these objects at Christopher Lake Saskatchewan. Below you will see an animated gif of this event and the following links play real player animations of these events (player available from www.real.com(Note you can buy the full version or find the link to the free stripped down version) or download free Windows media player to play Windows animations (or similar player), also included. Note that I am working on more animations...The animations were made using Main Actor Video Software.

I am working on animated gifs, with varying results, which you can view if you do not have media playing software on your computer...

The following animated gif uses fewer frames and reduced size to bring down the total kilobytes required and as a result produces a much faster picture of the animation files that follow...If you are using certain 'ad blocking software' you might need to disable it to see the gif replay...

as well as a story about a poltergeist here

To me this 'house haunting' phenomena and what I experienced previously are connected (two flip sides of the same coin). For another one of these stories (not to mention the worst haunting experience I have ever had) you can consult the page on UFOs and 666.



Someone sent me an email about the Cassini space probe(see my links page for links to pages with new images and information about Cassini...)

     This feedback also inspired me to add a new page on my site, Are UFOs ridiculous, do they violate the laws of physics (my response to comments made by Carl Sagan several years ago).

Are UFOs ridiculous?

A little bit of current events.I have been a prophet of YAHWEH for years now, and a lot has been going on that you have not heard anything about. For example, to get the story behind the story of the Summit of the Americas you can view the fulfillment of a prophecy by viewing the photos on my 'Eden wing' page, truly one of the most fantastic events I have ever been involved with, and truly the behind scenes story of the story of the Summit of the Americas this April, 2001. (Now how did I know that was going to happen? It's called prophecy. It's my job.) To listen in on what was going on, from my side of things during that unfolding event, you can visit my page of messages that I began delivering to the Summit of the Americas on Friday evening as the wing began to form, and then throughout the weekend by visiting my Summit of the Americas page where I posted my messages that weekend. Currently I am on an Eden watch, and you can check on this page from time to time to see how things are developing in the Negev desert in Israel and in Eden (the Sahara)...

I have a prophecy section which I made into a zip file (about 400 KB) that you can download on my zip file page or my from my prophecy section.

1975 Letter to CUFOR

I recently recovered a letter that I wrote in 1974 describing the UFOs I saw in Banff national Park. Note that Jasper Park is north of Banff, and according to my letter the events happened in Banff and they happened in August not the beginning of July. However because I have so many links out to files named 'jasper' the files will stay named 'jasper' but the events took place in Banff. I always told people for years that these events took place in the summer of 1974, but after finding ufos mentioned in the Melville Advance in 1975 I thought, 'I must have been wrong' but it turns out that I was right to say it was 1974, and those UFO articles in 1975 Melville Advance were part of the 'aftermath' of what happened in 74 (people were still wary of UFOs for quite some time after that remarkable year). The letter in the magazine was an excerpt of a much longer letter, and I am currently hoping to find one of these longer letters that would have been mailed to famous UFO organizations in September or October 1974 (and describe more completely what took place after the events in Banff in my hometown of Melville, Saskatchewan, Canada). For example I remember sending one letter to CUFOS. Where the rest went, I don't remember (MUFON perhaps? and other famous organizations. I vaguely recall someplace named NICAP or something like that).

I remembered that the magazine had a picture of a Sasquatch on the cover. To see a gif image of the sasquatch cover, click here ->

     I want to thank the two people who helped me to find my old letter in Canadian UFO report, Michael Strainic and David Pengilly. I searched for that magazine for years, went to librarians, only to be told that it couldn't be found, and it was such a relief to me finally recover it once again. Reading that letter brought back a flood of memories, and since I wrote a more complete account of these events, including a description of what took place in Meadow Lake Park, Prince Albert National Park, and then in the weeks and months ahead in Melville, Saskatchewan, and sent these letters to various UFO organizations, I am hoping that in the future I might be able to recover one of these old accounts that give a complete description (the account in Canadian UFO report in 1975 was just an extract of a much longer letter).

     Recovering even this much means a lot to me and I appreciate very much the assistance they gave me in recovering this material!

Summary of the Bible pages

The 10 Most Popular pages on this site...

I have arranged my Biblical pieces into a Bible commentary section of this sight...

Click here for the HTML Bible or click here for the Synoptic gospels compared in parallel columns, and the books of Kings, Chronicles and Samuel are compared in parallel columns on this page, or visit my Zip file page to download a zip file of the synoptic comparison (380 KB), or an HTML Bible (2.6 MB).

      I interpret my experiences in a religious sense for reasons I make clear on my story page.I am trying to reform the churches and I stand in the radical traditions of Jewish prophecy and the early church. Most people might not know that such a radical tradition even exists, because the churches were very conservative thoughout history, and the religious right remains one of the most powerful religious forces in our society, (there is still no ERA passed in the United States). One of the functions of my site is to correct this impression that the Judeo-Christian tradition is monolithic and conservative, even reactionary in nature...

     

For an introduction to the idea of a prophet as biblical critic, you might read the following short piece:

Dueling prophets - the prophet Hosea as Bible critic

In the previous piece, Hosea launched an attack on the book of Kings. Hosea also employed analogues of modern 'source' and 'redaction' criticism, and 'deconstructed' the book of Judges.

Hosea - Bible critic. The war between Ephraim and Benjamin and the story of Sodom as war propaganda

Hosea was not the only prophet to 'deconstruct' parts of the Bible or to employ analogues of source and redaction criticism. For example the prophet Jeremiah tied into the Torah, and as part of famous piece of protest writings that characterized a school of Jewish prophechy, he wrote, "Burn your whole offerings and eat the flesh yourselves, for when I brought your ancestors out of Egypt I gave them no instructions or commands concerning whole offerings and sacrifices...but they did not listen, they paid no heed, and proceeded ahead with their own plans...truth has perished from their lips and is no longer heard in the land...Now my people do not know the requirements of God. How can you say, 'we are wise, for we have the laws of Yahweh, when, behold, the lying pen of the scribes has had it falsified." (Jeremiah 7:21 , 8:7) This tradition was carried on by other schools of prophets, by Christ, particularly as described in the Gospel of Mark, and also by the apostle Paul and other writers in the school of Paul, although examination reveals that the Church Testament documents were also altered and forgery took place, just as the prophets testified had happened with the Jewish Testament before (the more things change the more they stay the same.)

For a fuller description of the radical traditions I mentioned you then might consult the following page:

Early traditions in the Bible that reject Moses as the author of the Torah laws

And then consult the next page which proves that what the prophets were saying was true and that their protests against the Bible were valid :

The late dating of the composition of the Torah

The bible is composed of different traditions that were 'chopped into pieces' and then the pieces were edited together in such a way as to hide the fact that the book is not from a single source. For a good example of this sort of thing see the page on David and Goliath, a famous story most people think they know, but actually do not.

The deceptive editing of the story of David and Goliath

Similar editing jobs were done on the story of the ten commandments, where we once again find two traditions, one egalitarian, and one oppressive and reactionary edited together -see the page on the Golden Calf, and on the stories of the Exodus, see the page on Moses, the book of Joshua is also composed of multiple conflicting traditions, and the page on Two separate traditions demonstrates that a cheerful, optimistic tradition and an oppressive reactionary pessimistic tradition were edited together in the stories of the Exodus, and even the books of the prophets were not immune to the intrustion of the editors pen, as demonstrated on the page describing the variant sources in the books of the prophets. For a shorter essay on the subject of intrusions into a prophetic manuscript you can consult the piece titled A Levite Scribe pretends to be Jeremiah on the Reflections page.

Some theological discussion can be found here:

Theological reflections or on the following page, which might be a little more to the point (as well as a little more pointed)
On Augustine and the meaning of the Crucifixion. Washed in the blood of the lamb?

Or consult the following short piece:
Was Christ a god incarnate? Differing view points in the Church Testament.

I also have a page which addresses the rights of women, by exposing the multiple traditions in the Bible (for radical emancipation and others reactionary in nature and for the oppression of women). For a balanced presentation consult the page entitled
The Status of Women in the Church - Pseudo Paul
. There are other pages of interest on this site (virgin birth?) which you can consult if you are interested in what you saw above...
