Jainism The Jaina Sutras - Akaranga Sutra and Kalpa Sutra, plus a variety of other Jain texts. Online in plain text and HTML. http://www.sacred-texts.com/jai/index.htm Judaism Note: The Hebrew Bible or Tanakh is roughly equivalent to the Christian Old Testament, and has three parts, Torah, Nevi'im & Ketuvim. The Torah, in the narrow sense (the Written Torah) is the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible. The Nevi'im are the Prophets - Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the Twelve Minor Prophets. The Ketuvim is the Writings, including Psalms and Proverbs, Esther and Ecclesiastes, Daniel, Chronicles, Ruth, and the love poetry of Song of Songs. If you take the T (from Torah), the N (from Nevi'im) and the K (from Ketuvim), and put them together in one word, you have TNK. Add some vowels and it becomes the Tanakh.Text versions of the Torah, Nevi'im & Ketuvim are available in English with some useful further information at: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/...sm/Tanakh.html Two other English translations, including a useful scholarly version (Kaplan) with hyperlinked translator's notes.

Wtf? I guess I forgot to add this one... http://www.theyrule.net/2004/tr2.php Great site. Check out the popular maps, shows how the corporate world is heavily interconnected into one another. Combine this with info from the revolving door site on how corp executives get into government positions, and you've got yourself one hell of a conspiracy theory. Updated a few other things on the list as well. Last edited by General Patton; 2007-06-13 at 20:28.
