What is the purpose of ErrantYears.com?

This Web site is a public service operated in the public interest.
It contains the complete email archives of Farrell Till’s Errancy
email list
  What is "Errancy"? Christian Fundamentalists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and some other
Christian groups, hold that the Judeo-Christian Bible is the complete,
100% error-free (inerrant) word of Yahweh/Jehovah God. This
doctrine is sometimes referred to as the "inerrancy doctrine," and its
adherents are sometimes referred to as "inerrantists." "Inerrantists"
are not necessarily "apologists."

"Errancy," then, is the viewpoint that the Bible is not error-free.
Thus, an "errantist" might believe that the Bible contains errors in
history, science, geography, taxonomy, prophecy, and so forth, and
s/he may well set out to prove the existence of such errors in the
Bible to others. "Apologists," in turn, may set out to discredit any
claims made by "errantists" by explaining why an apparent error is
not an actual error. And on and on it goes.
 

 Who is Farrell Till? Farrell Till is a recognized voice in the ongoing debate to prove that
the Judeo-Christian Bible contains errors. Till’s speciality is disproving
that any prophecy in the Bible has ever been fulfilled in all of its details.
In other words, Till holds and asserts that the Bible contains 100%
false prophecy.

 Is there any way to search through the text of the original ErrantYears messages? Unfortunately, no, but that option is our top priority. You might be
surprised to learn how few commercial search engines can manage
our almost 55,000 Web pages.  Well, maybe you wouldn't be surprised.


Do you guys still distribute the Errant Years CD-ROM?

Since all of the nearly 55,000 messages on the CD-ROM are now available
on this Web site, there really isn't much point in distributing the same
messages in a CD-ROM format.  Besides, it's an enormous pain in the ass.
Even so, if you have a special case that you believe warrants a CD-ROM,
click here


What if I'd like to have all of the old Errancy messages on my hard drive?

Those are available as a single, double-compressed, executable download that is
specifically sized to fit on a 100MB Zip disk (thus making the nearly 55,000
messages "portable").  Before you ask us for access to this download, you'll
want to know the download times in relation to your modem/DSL speed:

Errant Years CD-ROM, click here
 

 Why did you guys pick the name "Errant Years"? The name was derived from Mike and the Mechanics' hit song, "Living Years."

  I’ve seen several references to "blondguys.net" on this Web site. Who or what are they? Blondguys.net is the flagship domain on this Web server. All other
domains on this Web site operate "under" blondguys.net


May I advertise on this Web site?

We do not accept commercial advertising. However, we may consider,
on a case-by-case basis, "link exchanges" with other established Web
sites. If you would like to submit a proposal, click here
  May I make a donation to your organization? Thank you for thinking of us, but we neither solicit nor accept in-kind
or monetary donations
  Do you have a privacy policy? At the risk of sounding callous, we have no interest in knowing either
your identity or your other "personally identifiable information." If we
at one time knew your identity, it’s probably safely lost somewhere
among the debris on our desks or in our minds. In the rare and unlikely
event that your personal information makes a second appearance,
we promise to use it only for catching coffee spills
  May I mirror your Web site? We welcome the opportunity to have this Web site mirrored on other
Web servers, or on intranets that serve a large audience (such as a
college). You may first wish to know that the new ErrantYears message
database is in a dBaseV/FoxPro-compliant format, but it is easily con-
verted to a SQL-compliant format. As for the original 54,584 Errant
Years messages, those are all separate Web pages. You would need to
allocate 5 gigabytes of hard drive space for all of the ErrantYears data.

If you would like to submit a mirroring proposal, click here.
 

 May I set up some free Web pages on your Web site? Blondguys.net is home to several noncommercial and nonprofit Web sites,
and we’re certainly willing to add more. We can offer secure FTP access
to your Web pages; domain hosting with name server services; unlimited
email accounts; POP3/Webmail access to your email; full listserv services;
searchable listserv archives; a search engine for your Web pages; and a
RealPlay audio/video server. We do not offer FrontPage server extensions.

If you have a proposal that you’d like us to consider, click here. If we
believe that your Web pages would bring real value to the Internet
(which obviously precludes spammers, pornography, pictures of your
dog or your car, etc.), we’ll welcome you to our family. Otherwise,
have a good life.
