I have lots of family still in, so I like to look at the BS they're being fed in case anything comes up.

Apostates do you still read Watchtower literature? And if so Why do you?

No I am doing what the WT says on the building
"read God's Word Daily"
I wouldn't waste my time or energy on man made beliefs,it bothers me to read parts on the forum, that is enough

No, unless there is a link to something here that sounds interesting or might be something I need to discuss some attempt by my mother at guilt. Other then that, no.

My mother-in-law my drop off the lastest copies of the Watchtower and Awake magazines, but they usually sit on the end table for a few days and then they usually find their way into the garbage. My mother my get a wild idea and send the magazines by mail to me... but they usually end up in the same place.

I read my wife's retarded magazines if they are nearby, so if some Watchtower magazine was there I might glance at one. Though they don't cover the "Twenty New Positions to Please Your Man", so I might put it down sooner.
On the other hand, I don't think I've even seen more than one watchtower in the last 2 years, and I'm not looking for them.
The closest I come to seeing a Watchtower is Blondie's "Comments you will not hear" threads. And I avoid them (sorry, Blondie) because they really remind me of the Watchtower Study, ruining Sunday's for much of my life.

No, I don't read it.
"The End is coming soon, surrender your free will."
That's all it ever says. I have it memorized and don't need to read it.

I do a review of the WT study article each week. I also get the Awake, but rarely read it. I do research on WT history so I have some of the older books which I read occasionally. I haven't read a KM except for the few snippets I research from the CD. I haven't read any of the "study" books although they are on the CD.
If you are helping people leave or educating non-JWs as to what the WTS is all about, it helps to have original publications rather than photocopies or stuff from the CD.
There are people who have survived physical attacks or life in a concentration camp, etc., who have written about their experiences, been interviewed many times, despite their experience being so negative. Why, to educate people about the past, about possible current dangers, etc.

My wife has a ton of old magazines in the trunk of her car and in the closet in the office. She usually leaves one or an article open she thinks will get my attention but they always disappear after a few days when she realizes that they're being ignored. It's a big house!!!
