Beatles Songs That Aren't Performed By The Beatles
by DT ini was hoping you could help me with a little research project.. for reasons that are a little hard to explain, i'm interested in watching videos of beatles songs that are performed by anybody except the beatles themselves.
i'm especially interested in performances by people from foreign countries, (i'll provide a few examples.
) but feel free to add any other interesting videos.

Why Do Some People Still Disagree With Special Relativity?
by DT ini have to admit that i feel poorly equipped to address this subject.
i'm more interested in the feedback of others than in trying to persuade others of my opinions.
i should also point out that although this topic is specifically about special relativity, much of what is said could also apply to general relativity.. special relativity has had a profound effect on both science and modern culture.

Blood Witness
by DT ini just read "blood witness", a book about a young jw who becomes a vampire.
i'm not a huge fan of vampire books, but i thought it was pretty good.. my favorite part of the book is when the main character starts to doubt his faith.
(spoiler alert) he recognizes how much leaving will cost him and still wonders if maybe the jws do have the truth.

A Birthday Indiscretion?
by DT ini grew up as a jehovah's witness so i had to deal with all the issues of not celebrating holidays at school.
i took this pretty seriously and was pretty vocal every time something came up that violated my religious beliefs.. yet, it seems that there are always gray areas.. one day, my teacher announced that we would be making birthday cards for mcdonalds.
i don't remember which birthday it was except that it was a round number.

Sparlock Fiction
by DT ini was wondering if anyone here is working on sparlock fiction or other sparlock artwork.
i remember that there was a lot of talk about that last year.. i can't say much right now, but i'm working on a novel that relates to sparlock the warrior wizard and a fictionalized version of the "summer of sparlock" and its aftermath.
the main character is a person with unusual abilities who resembles the toy wizard in certain important ways.

The AAWA Facebook Group Needs To Reform Or Be Disbanded
by DT inthe has been a lot of misinformation and confusion about the whole aawa facebook group mess.. i believe that the aawa had good intentions and that many of the mistakes that were made were made by others.. however, the aawa has to take responsibility for the presence of the group itself.
if they set up a group that can be abused and causes harm, then they are partially responsible for the harm that is caused.. it appears that some of the privacy concerns were exaggerated the group is currently secret, but that still means that other members can see who the members are.. that isn't acceptable since some of the members were added without their knowledge or permission.. i doubt there is a practical way to correct the problem at this late date.
i don't see a problem if they start a new group that has better security and somehow insures that nobody is being added without their knowledge.

Suppose The Governing Body Hired You As A Consultant
by DT insuppose the governing body hired you as a consultant at a rate of $100,000 a year.
all you are required to do is meet with them four times a year and suggest ways to keep the organization growing at least a little bit.
as soon as there is a year of negative growth, you are out of a job.. assume that you don't care about the damage caused by the watchtower society.

he told them the following parable: "a widow, the mother of two young daughters, had a field.

Are The Governing Body Being Set Up To Take A Fall?
by DT inthe governing body's decision to declare themselves the faithful and discreet slave appears pretty arrogant and presumptuous.
since most of us regard the governing body as arrogant and presumptuous, it's easy to conclude that is the reason that they did this.. what if something else is going on?.
remember when steven unthank was able to get the faithful and discreet slave charged in australia for failing to comply with the working with children act?
