Peace, The Urantia Foundation renewed its copyright of the Urantia Book in 1983. However, on June 20, 2001 AD, at a federal court in Oklahoma City, OK, a jury declared the renewal to be invalid. The text of the Urantia Book is now in the public domain.  Who authored the Urantia Book?The URANTIA Book itself states that it is a compilation of papers sponsored or authored by various named personalities or entities. It is a revelation made available to us by celestial beings who contacted a small group in the United States early in the last century. Kill the noise NAR  , the case was settled. Urantia foundation has exclusive copyright ownership. Doesn't matter who the "AUTHOR" is 'cause according to law the foundation holds the copyright. |

Peace courtney, I ain't going to let you off that easy sister. Recall that Dr. York has always said to his pupils: Don't believe me check it out! ok.. lets forget that word plagarism.. fact is this.. HE COPIED SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK AND PASSED IT OFF AS HIS OWN.. HE NEVER SITED HIS SOURCE.. PERIOD. |

So i guess in your mind it would be ok for me to pass off someone else's work as my own as long as i followed it up with- "dont believe me check it out".. bull.. that's a cop-out.. what he should've said was "dont believe the people's work that i copied.. check it out" Peace courtney, I ain't going to let you off that easy sister. Recall that Dr. York has always said to his pupils: Don't believe me check it out! |

You are missing the bigger picture here two.. he didnt simply use other's people work as a reference.. it was almost WORD FOR WORD.. i have heard the saying once.. a person can rationalize anything in their own mind.. i think that's what is going on here.. whether he had the legal right to copy it or not.. the fact remains that HE COPIED IT..

Peace Ralph... It appears that these writers (namely Gerald Massey) drew upon their outformation from older sources, namely Greek, Briton, Egiptian, Chaldean and Hindu lore to name a few. But, there are much older sources, in which the aforementioned cultures drew upon. Peace Atun-Re, Most of those I mentioned were the leading Egyptologists of their time. Dr. John Henrick Clarke thought so much of Churchward that he did the Intro in Churchward's book..... |

I think you are misinterpreting the quote. This very statement (don't believe me check it out) puts you in the public domain. Knowledge is external, which is the realm of DOCTRINE. However, truth is internal. I hope this helps. So i guess in your mind it would be ok for me to pass off someone else's work as my own as long as i followed it up with- "dont believe me check it out".. bull.. that's a cop-out.. what he should've said was "dont believe the people's work that i copied.. check it out" |
