I will wait till its a used book. I have an aversion to buying new books. I looked at it in the store and it seems to have a nice flow to it. I think its a valuable record for any aspiring authors who wish to see the writing process in action. Remember it was a first draft of TKAMB. The editor, (bless the editor) told Harper that the best parts of the book were the flashbacks when Scout speaks in her own voice. He encouraged her to rewrite the book from the little girl's point of view. That's why we have TKAMB. This was the dry run down the wrong road but an invaluable document of Harper's mind when she wrote TKAMB. I WILL READ IT FOR THAT REASON. Its a book people, not a memoir about her dad that seeks to trash him. Just maybe he was the bigot and not the hero? So? Read it for what it is, a stand alone book with different character studies.

Remember the "Live Forever" book? We took to calling it the "Study Forever" book. Most of the time those who get baptized after all those years of studying don't last long. I guess they are smarter than they look. -

Remember Going Out In Field Service Before Thursday and Friday's Heat-Stroke Convention at Dodger Stadium?
by The1975Blues ini don't think the kids will remember going out in field service at your convention's city location helping the fiends do their territory.
on top of the horrendous heat-stroke sitting at dodger stadium we had to preach earlier in the week!
i heard some elderly witnesses speaking about "those were the good old days they thought" the grand old time they had while visiting the city of los angeles!

Went out in Reno on two occasions. Once was "street work" where we actually talked with people on the street. The other was door to door and we had a naked man open the door. Kinda ruined my thoughts of doing that again. Ugh. -

OK so the GB are shaming Bros who don't "reach out" but would they ever consider this?...
by purrpurr ini note on here the feedback from the currently ongoing conventions that the gb are heavily trying to guilt and shame any brothers who are not ms or elders.
i agree with most posters who reckon this shows just how thin on the ground they are for ms and elders but... my question is.
how comes that even though they are so desperate they still will not allow women to fill those roles?

What percentage of the population are gay?
by fulltimestudent induring the long debate on the question of gay marriage, there have been many competing answers to the question of, "how many people are gay?".
a very anti-gay christian minister in sydney, the reverend fred nile, (who is also a member of the state parliament) claims that the percentage is as low as 1%.. some university (u.of new south wales) research in sydney has suggested 5%, but the authors of the study cautioned that there was a problem in the fact that an unknown number of respondents would likely not admit to being gay.. there are other problems in asking the question.
for example, what does being gay mean?

Hoax, Scam, Bridge, Talking Serpents
by Hold Me-Thrill Me inhoax, scam, bridge, talking serpents .
most assuredly this scripture was applicable: (2 thessalonians 2:1, 2) .
"however, brothers, respecting the presence of our lord jesus christ and our being gathered together to him, we request of you 2 not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be excited either through an inspired expression or through a verbal message or through a letter as though from us, to the effect that the day of jehovah is here.
