Other: Young People Ask articles. It was love-hate with YPA, because I wanted info to be a good little jw, but I also did not want to hear that we could not spend time with the opposite sex except in groups and only when dating! I also looked at WTW and QFR to find interesting tidbits. They did carry a very nice article one time in the mid 90's about the story of the mother cat who went back into the burning building to rescue her kittens. I think her name was Scarlett? Did anyone else recall that story? I did like that one very much.

QFR...always...read Awake articles if they caught my eye...otherwise hawked them at the doors.
Funny thing, for me that is, very seldom read any WT literature, until the Aid book came along, still have one of those

Misspeaches: you could read this when you get to work in the morning, eh?
How embarrassing.... Yes Ozzie... I am reading this from work....
Okay now the acknowledgement that Ozzie knows me to well is over on to the poll!
1. The covers - A quick scan of the picture. Usually if there was a cute guy I'd look a little longer wondering why there were no cute guys like that in my circuit...
2. The Letters in the Awake! - Another quick scan to see if there were any complaints. Occasionally there was but I never bothered to read the defense the WTBTS wrote in response
3. The 'Watching the World' in the Awake! (hey, I had to get my education!!) - Yeah I admit I read these. Because they were so breif they were the only thing that held my attention
5. The study articles (yuk!) - At the Sunday meeting because I hadn't prepared it before hand
8. The life stories (hmmmm) - I read these. I used to find them so encouraging. Now I find they are incredibaly doctored and the magic has gone.
