  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.

  Thank you FadingAway. I've listened to that recording and it will be useful. However, finding one with the D.E.A.D. comment would be invaluable.

  If this talk is ever released to JWD or another website, I believe it will help many break free from the WT.

  justitia themis had a topic 'disgusting comment re: education from tacoma 2007 district convention' regarding a talk on education that those pursuing degrees would be d.e.a.d.

  unfortunately that stupid comment was not made at the dc i attended, but i am providing the audio to let ones know how far the society is going in discouraging ones from pursuing college by using weak and tired arguments.. http://www.box.net/shared/s523re4c7i.

  Oops, forgot a comma.
  
  "...begins, in my shorts."
  
  It's the classic John 1:1 error!

  Thank you!
  
  I'm hoping to attend my local convention specifically to hear this talk in a few weeks. I plan on showing up just before it begins in my shorts. = ) If I can find my recorder there will be another version on the web.

  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?

  Another reason I'd like to donate my time.
  
  This information needs to be out there for current JW's and other researchers. It may help some who are on the fence, trying to decide if they need to get out. A scanned image of the book in question would be very helpful in some cases, I know it would in mine.

  New Aust Census - other Christians growing, JWs falling

  by jwfacts in

  the following figures are from the australian census 2006 as found at http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/d3310114.nsf/home/census (30th june 2007).

  very interesting to see that the number of people admitting to being jehovah's witnesses has fallen over the last 10 years by 3%, whilst baptists have grown by 7% and mormons by 18%.

  looks like jws are not the only ones preaching afterall.. .

  Interesting the see the Penecostal growth. I also noticed 7th Day Adventists are gaining on the JW's.

  No, I didn't mention stolen goods. I'm interested in public domain works here.
