  i see this for sale everywhere, but is it available for download in pdf format?

  (scanned image) .

  i'm assuming the copyright has expired on these works and it's all public domain..so why is it still being sold?

  Actually...
  
  Yes I would like to see public domain works be in the public. There are some major efforts online to accomplish just this. Please see:

  I'm thankful to all who spend time scanning and uploading public domain works as it assists the flattening of information.

  Disgusting comment re: education from Tacoma 2007 District Convention

  this is from saturday afternoon program.

  the speaker first starts with what he called the "alphabet soup" of degrees....a.a., b.a., m.a., ph.d., etc.

  ; he said they were nothing more than "sheepskins on the wall.

  Recording? This would be very helpful in 'waking up' some current JW's.

  I'm interested in the context of the D.E.A.D. comment. Was he inferring this would happen because a college grad on average would spend more time away from theocratic activities than a high school grad? I've always heard from members that college education is not discouraged. Rather, it's the tendency for a college grad to drift away from the org that has them worried. It's doublespeak..but to a dub it makes sense.

  They are constantly taking a statistic and inferring some parameter for an entire population. If they actually had some college education they might realize this.

  I hope there is a recording of this. I would *love* to have it as I've always heard dubs do not try and discourage ones from higher education.

  College or Contributions?

  by watson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's probably been suggested here before, but it just hit me that maybe one of the reasons we are discouraged from sending our youngin's to college is that it might put a crimp in our available funds for the "world wide work.".

  possibility?.

  Of course, a bachelor's degree is worth an average of $1 million. Very short sighted if it's only about the money.

  How Do You Handle Compliments?

  by smellsgood in

  1. jw

  today i was followed around, complimented extensively and asked out by a guy at wal-mart (they have good prices on cake),,,i sort of felt like bolting, i felt extremely embarassed (and said as much) even though i was flattered.

  it's nice to be complimented, at the same time i'm all giggly and squirmy,,, like they're telling me that i've got a head shaped like a walnut rather than...whatever.

  do you take compliments well?

  was just flicking through the june issue of 'silicon chip' magazine (yes i'm a geek .

  as there is no needle or anything making contact with the record, there is no wear or scratches happening during play.

  it replays the sound in analog form, not digital.. http://www.elpj.com/.
