The article from bondie seems to indicate that Elihu books and Awatu are in the middle of legal spat over publishing rights ...I think Elihu is Greg Stafford's site, correct?

I like WitnessMyFury's answer :)
song 92 "preach the word" has got to be the most sickening song in the new song book.
we have had two years to reflect and get used to the new songs so the first flush of outrage and disgust is past.. now those of us who are still stuck in have to stand and mouth these travesties of an excuse for music.
i love singing and can even enjoy singing stuff i don't have much time for.
new york (cbsnewyork) george carlin is rolling over in his grave.. the new york city department of education is waging a war on words of sorts, and is seeking to have words they deem upsetting removed from standardized tests.. marla diamond talks to walcott, student about banned words.
fearing that certain words and topics can make students feel unpleasant, officials are requesting 50 or so words be removed from city-issued tests.. the word dinosaur made the hit list because dinosaurs suggest evolution which creationists might not like, wcbs 880s marla diamond reported.
halloween is targeted because it suggests paganism; a birthday might not be happy to all because it isnt celebrated by jehovahs witnesses.. julie lewis family celebrates christmas and kwanzaa, but she told cbs 2s emily smith she wants her children to appreciate and learn about other holidays and celebrations.. theyre going to meet people from all walks of life and theyre going to have to learn to adjust, lewis said.. words that suggest wealth are excluded because they could make kids jealous.
LOL...
They will ban " Bodily functions", but not "Shit"...

if any of you lurkers listen to a rant by the society against college, remember one thing:.
the brother giving the talk is probably an utter hypocrite.. there are a few exceptions but consider that many elders are financially secure - which allows them to be elders.
while they talk about not planning for the future because armageddon 'is so close', they have pensions, ira's, roth accounts and investments.
@EmptyInside:
" But,really,what is the difference? "
In college, you tend to learn that the WTB&TS is full of bull shit. It's not really about field service time, pioneering, etc. They just want to keep a grip on the minds of as many as possible. College = leaving the WT.

i recall a jw telling me that.... "they" meaning scientists, had done study's on lions in zoo's and discovered that if they gave lions straw and grass to eat that the lions became very passive and no longer showed predator behavior??
now they never explained who "they" were, or were these "study's" had been done or why based on these study's lions are not now fed grass etc
has anyone else heard this for real?
