Probably much later than that. The clerics didn't start complicating
things until they became well established. Probably after the destruction
of the first temple when the population was enslaved and taken to Babylon
where the Rabbis created a framework of cultural rules to keep the exiles
intact. I think this is correct, but I'm not sure.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
