I like the way you think AK_Jeff. How about copying the title page (page 6) where there is a notice about secrecy and where it says "This book belongs to.." write something like "Now available for download everywhere"

217DMCA Complaint from The WatchTower for links to KS-10 'Shepherding' book
by Simon inyes, that's right, they really do not like people being able to read that book so they wanted links to it removed (it appears they have also been going after the hosts of the content itself as well).. unfortunately, i had to removed the links (which were dead anyway when i checked) and i'd ask that people don't re-post them (sorry).
i'm sure there are lots of alternative ways for those with the information to get it to those who need it.. here are the discussions on the book:.

As a young man I loved it totally. If you really believed it how could you not love being part of the most important thing in the world?
I can't do "pretend", as soon as I realised it was wrong I was out of there.

Is it a coincidence that it goes offline for maintenance the same day it reveals highly embarrassing information about US torture of prisoners in Iraq?

How Evangelical Fundamentalists and Witnesses are joined at the Hip
by designs inboth groups teach and preach an us vs them mentality.
the saved and unsaved world, and those in the truth and those not in the truth.. those not in each groups favored circle are considered heretics or apostates.
families are torn apart over arbitrary church rules.. both groups teach and unsavory cruel concept of a supreme being who has it in for humanity by sending them to hell fire or the second death at armageddon.

Having been both I totally agree - jws and evangelicals differ more in style than substance

John Lennon and JW... (...a credible source)
by Confucious inok.... of course john lennon's would be 70th birthday was yesterday.. so just a discussion - and please - no hate'in... just some discussion.. but i personally know of a very high ranking jw member (think highest you can basically get...) who related this story to me how some jw's talked to john lennon shortly before he wrote "imagine.".
when he told me - he did preface it by saying it was "hearsay..." that he couldn't prove it.. but listening to the song tonight - i could see how it could be possible.. thoughts?.
confucious.

One of the most inspirational songs ever.

it would seem that hundreds of animals with the new variant would have to survive in order to ensure the survival of the concave feature, let us say, which in itself may not have been necessary for survival at that early stage. - believingexjw
Remember we are not talking about the sudden appearance of a concave retina. If a mutation confers even the slightest advantage on its host then it has a good chance of prospering in the gene pool. Don't think in terms of big leaps in development but of tiny, almost imperceptible steps.

Thanks for posting that. I was a born-again for about 10 years after leaving the borg.
Now when I mention to others that I used to be a christian and now am an atheist this is exactly the response I get every time.
I suppose it is disconcerting when somebody who "knows" leaves the group

The great mysteries surrounding the "theory of everything" will not be discovered by humans.
Perhaps not in our lifetime.
The history of science is a story of mysteries, beloved of people of faith, being revelaed by the genius and hard work of humans. Its what Dawkins called "unweaving the rainbow"
