BRIAN
I am going to start following the convention of putting my name in
all caps above my message.  The following is a reply I got when I
forwarded this to a friend of mine named Ron.  I am forwarding it
for your enjoyment.

>>>I like most other people ( somewhat ) believed what we are taught

>>>Here, now is the rest of the story, clearly written easy to check, 

>>>after all it comes from the " Inspired " mouth ( word ) of Yahveh

>>>( god ), then I suppose it is ok if you are splitting the take with 

>>>god,  maybe this is the prosperity he ( god ) promised Abraham and 

>>>his seed, Maybe we can find one of these seed, plant it and grow us 

>>>a bunch of " qadeshah " and enter into the religious ( tax free ) 

>>>business. After all everything else that has transpired in the name 

>>>of God, or Religion has surely been accepted.  We could make copies 

>>>and hang around Pagan whorehouses (churches)on sunday mornings and 

>>>pass them out to the faithful believers as they entered into the 

>>>present day versions of  ""The Groves "". Till we meet again at the 

>>>" Groves " on  Xmas day, merry merry all.

>>>THE TEMPLE HARLOTS OF YAHVEH

>>>

>>>    There remain several aspects of Hebrew phallic worship . 

>>>One feature common to all the ancient  religions was the 

>>>consecrated women, or priestess-prostitutes, who

>>>were always in attendance in the temples and at the asherah

>>>("groves"), to participate in the worship with the true believers

>>>who had the price of oblation. Their earnings in this sacred

>>>calling went into the "treasury of Yahveh," and were a large part

>>>of its legitimate income. True, the "law" prescribed: "There shall

>>>be no whore [qadeshah] of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite

>>>[qadesh] of the sons of Israel. Thou shalt not bring the hire of a

>>>whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of Yahveh thy God for

>>>any vow" (Deut. xxiii, 17, 18). But, this "law" was ex post facto,

>>>and totally unobserved, for the practice prevailed even in the holy

>>>temple of Solomon. The Hebrew word "qadesh," the name for the

>>>consecrated devotees of phallism, is exactly the same word as that

>>>for "holy" or "consecrated" or "sanctified"; it is used in the "ten

>>>commandments": "Wherefore Yahveh blessed the sabbath day and

>>>hallowed [qadesh-u] it" (Ex. xx, 11); and in the inscription on the

>>>golden crown of Aaron: "Holiness [godesh] to Yahveh" (Ex. xxxix,

>>>30); and wherever this idea is expressed.

>>> 

>>>     The first Bible mention of this cult is some five hundred

>>>years before the time of Moses, when the fair young widow Tamar,

>>>despairing of getting the man so often promised her, dressed

>>>herself in the garb of a "qadeshah" or temple-harlot, with a veil

>>>over her face, and went and "sat in an open place" where she knew

>>>that her father-in-law Judah would pass by; and Judah came by, and

>>>fell into her trap, with interesting sequel, related in Genesis

>>>xxxviii. Later Moses, in instituting the religious observances of

>>>the Chosen People, thought it amiss that Hebrew young women and

>>>young men should engage in this religious prostitution, and hence

>>>the "law" above quoted, prohibiting them from acting the role of

>>>temple-prostitutes. So these sacred offices were usually filled by

>>>"the stranger within thy gate," and particularly by the Moabitish

>>>maidens and young men. While yet in the midst of their wanderings

>>>in the wilderness, "the people began to commit whoredom with the

>>>daughters of Moab, ... and bowed down to their gods. And Israel

>>>joined himself unto Baal-peor" (Num. xxv, 1-3); that is, to "Baal

>>>the hymen-breaker," so named because Moabitish maidens were

>>> wont to break their hymens on the idol-phallus before becoming 

>>>qadeshoth, or religious prostitutes. As to the qadeshuth, or 

>>>official sodomites, who abounded among the Chosen People, as 

>>>attested by many scriptural passages, the less said about these 

>>>detestable attendants of the worship of Yahveh, the better.

>>>

>>>   When Solomon erected the temple of Yahveh, built from plans

>>>drawn by Yahveh himself (1 Chron. xxviii, 19), he made arrangements

>>>for the comfort of these consecrated temple-attendants, and for the 

>>>convenience of the phallic worshippers. It is recorded: "And 

>>>against the wall of the house he built chambers round about. ... 

>>>both of the temple and of the oracle; even ... for the most holy 

>>>place" (1 Kings vi, 5, 16). These side-chambers (tselaoth), the 

>>>small size of which is stated (vi, 6, 10), were the habitations of 

>>>the qadeshoth and the qadeshuth. When the holy temple needed 

>>>repairs, the "good King" Jehoash told the priests to use "all the  

>>>money of the qadashim [translated dedicated things] that is brought 

>>>into the house of Yahveh" (2 Kings xii, 4) for the work of repairs; 

>>>but the priests stole it and did not make the repairs (xii, 6).

>>>

>>>  These chambers were broken down by Josiah: "And he brake down 

>>>the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of Yahveh, 

>>>where the women wove hangings for the asherah" (2 Kings xxiii, 7). 

>>>Notwithstanding, so profitable a form of worship continued unabated 

>>>in Israel, as in the rest of the heathen world.
