  1973 Brown Cover: True Peace and Security - From What Source?

  Revised 1986 Red Cover: True Peace and Security - How Can You Find It?
  

  The Kingdom Ministry of February 1986 stated that the revised version of "the True Peace book takes note of the declaration by the United Nations that the year 1986 begins special efforts by world leaders toward ‘peace and security.’ Referring to this declaration, the True Peace book says: “This, no doubt, is a step toward the fulfillment of Paul’s... words.... Yet the prophecy shows that the time will come when the nations will declare that they have achieved a measure of ‘peace and security.’”—1 Thess. 5:3.
  
  (See Chapter 7 page 85 paragraph 31)

  Hey JWdaughter

  I really loved working at the newspaper.... If you look at electronic news-even "real" sites like the NY Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian---the spelling and grammar is a disgrace to journalism.
  

  haha hence the Guardian's nickname -The Grauniad

  oh, and it's always fascinating flipping thru a 'style guide'

  Marta's speech in Company, talking to Robert:
  
  Marta: You know what this city is? Where a person can feel it? It’s in a person’s ass. IF you’re really part of this city, relaxed, cool and in the whole flow of it, your ass is like this
  
  (makes a large round circle with her forefinger and thumb)
  
  if you’re just living here, runnin’ around uptight, not really part of this city, your ass is like this
  
  (tightens the circle to nothing, making a fist).
  
  Robert: I.... hesitate to ask.
  
  (Marta holds up the 'tight' sign high)
  
  Robert: That's a fascinating theory, fascinating. And at this moment, extraordinarily accurate.

  Hey Landy

  Reposting the same thing again and again just dilutes the discussion, not to mention being fucking annoying.

  They're not the same - one was for a discussion of the print article as it appeared in the newspaper - has anyone here actually bought the newspaper?

  the other for drawing comparisons between the print version and the online version

  similar but not the same as people starting new topics to point to the very same link with very little context or input from themselves
  

  • I've taken time to provide a copy of the article from the print version
  • I've taken time to point out the comparisons between the two articles
    

  check out the discussion between slimboyfat and Poztate at the below link when I brought up the same point as you
