i have a memory of some rock artist of the 60s placing a pic of herself and some guy in bed and her reading an awake magazine on the back cover.

it could have been "is time running out for mankind" or something like that.

anyone remember?

there's a funny story that's circulated among engineering types about a young vp at arco.

he saw an inordinate amount of 'boiler operators' on the payroll and noticed that they made an inordinate amount of money.

he decided that he would save the company a bunch of money by out-sourcing the building maintenance.

i was given the link to a bit of information regarding on old poster/moderator of this forum.

i was not sure of the validity of the information so have been trying to find out if it is true.. earlier today craig's estranged wife, kate, (bikerchic) confirmed that craig died at his home on aug 10, 2011.. i am sure that many people here remember craig's time here and how he went out of his way to offer support to posters, even calling them, to give whatever help he could as they adjusted to their post-jw lives.. i know many people here will grieve his loss.. --------------.

ps i tried posting this earlier but the computer i was working with would not allow the posts.

If The Watchtower discourages Greek language study, why did they publish the KIT?
by VM44 in

2. beliefs
if the watchtower discourages the study of biblical languages, then why did they publish twice, in 1969 and 1985. the kingdom interlinear translation of the greek scriptures?.

would this not actually encourage the study of the greek language?.
