Man I wanted a gibbon so much after reading that article......I musta been about 10 or so....I so wanted to hear the patter of the feet just like the article described it.
Thinking back on it now....who the heck would keep a pet gibbon anyway? And whats the point of a stupid article like that ? Bloody gibbon, probably sneak up on ya and rip ya throat while you were sleeping.

Must have been pre-'70, because I can't find it in the cdrom. They were always writing weird stuff like that, though. Sometime do a wtlib search on "chocolate." It's clear that someone at the Society seriously loves chocolate.
I think the article may have been '68 or '69....
Long time ago! Wasn't the New System supposed to be here by now? What happened there?? Maybe the gibbon stole the timetable!

Details, please. Not much to go on here. Not sure why you'd choose to spend one of your topics on such non-information.
LOL @ 5thGeneration. I like your sense of humor. :-)

5th Dimension,
I scoff at your derision and wave my private parts at your Auntie, you son of a silly person!
May the fleas from a thousand gibbons make a nest in your armpit!

*sigh*... It was directed at me, Pope.
ABSOLUTELY!! *I* remember that article! I was a child then, and reading that article sooooo made me want to have a gibbon as a pet... for years thereafter!

The "point" of this articles was
1) Hooking - get unsuspecting householders to buy the mag from kids like me thinking it was a nice mag about animals
2) Baiting - tempting jws (specially kids like Pope) with what wonders there'd be in paradise - a gibbon per faithful JW kid no less!
3) Padding - padding out the vacuous other articles so that the brainwashing contained there in would stick out less like a sore thumb
4) Inspiring - worship for our "wonderful thoughtful divine creator" - pressing home the creation over evolution. No way could that cute gorilla have come about by accident - no sirree!
Hope this clarifies this "non information".
Come now, these informative and lively articles about gibbons, chocolate, espresso and straw hats are part of the Awake! college equivalency edumacation program provided by the FDS. Aren't we just oozing with gratitude for these little faux pearls of wisdom?
