Well, I have caught up with your JBL ‘eyewitness’ article (congratulations: I am not into psychology of memory). Have you caught up with ExpTimes June ’10?
Thanks, John. I know waaaay more about psychology of memory now than I did when I started it. Your paper is sitting on my desk waiting for me to read this weekend, along with another paper by a colleague.
Hi, I know I’m going to sound crazy…..primary progressive MS brain issues especially going off in tangents…sorry. Difficult writing much but….bottom line,I cared for my mom until she passed from early onset alzheimers. I told her I would not ask anything of her unless it was very important. The past few years have been rough back here in.CA and I asked 3 things of her and received them within 5 minutes. Not being one to read the bible or gospels I was compelled to this gospel during horrendous conditions. It has been very disturbing because my sentence by sentence translation can not be denied when compared to the coptic/english word by word translation. It reads as one would expecT Thomas to write as Jesus spoke. The only add ons during the speech were prophetic clues to the understanding person. Be glad to send you my work. Due to my health, I haven’t been able to go back and edit and change a few. I hope this along with all works be seen. I also have miraculous medical changes….even documented. My best to you. Mike
