WT Online Library?
by FadeToBlack ini was starting to compile a list of some of my favorite 'bait-and-switch' topics between the public edition of the wt and the members-only study edition when i noticed that it appears that the online library at jw.org only seems to allow searching from the public edition.
is this the case, or am i just missing something?
i know we can download the study editions but they don't seem to be available to search.

"Look at the Artwork!"
by FadeToBlack infrom the back cover of the july 15th, 2013 study edition.. "look at the artwork!".
how many times have you said that to yourself or to others when you opened a new issue of this magazine?
i didn't use the same wording, but needless to say, i was stunned.

Hypothetical question about level/depth of talks at DC this year?
by FadeToBlack infor those of you who had to go this year and have been in for a while, how do you think someone from the 40's or even the 70's would react if they had to sit thru the 2013 dc?
for me, it was like 'land of the stupid'.
everything seemed to be presented at about a 4th grade level (my apologies in advance to 4th graders who are more advanced than adult jw's).
