  (1) The Washtowel Slaveholdery actually cotributes to a form of child prostitution. They harbor pedophiles within the ranks, and they silence the victims so they can protect the reputation of the Slaveholdery. Often, the abuse takes place in the setting of a hounding call.

  (2) When they gloat about children that have died because of their policies, that makes me want to puke. They are proud that children chose the Washtowel Slaveholdery before their lives, and that often they had no choice because the parents decided to obey the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger instead of giving the children blood (or something else that resulted in the death of the children). There simply is no excuse to put those on an Asleep! and proudly distribute them as if it was a badge of honor. Those children have had their hopes ruined forever by the Washtowel Babble and Crap Slaveholdery Corporation.

  It is so tragic to see how does WT use human pain to promote their agenda. I agree with you that this is the number one tasteless Cover along with the photo of the children that died in the blood atlar of the WT.I recall I could find it very hard to go on peoples doors and show that front cover. It was insane...

  Its called exploitation

  The adults that have forced this girl in to doing something she really doesn't want to

  and then again the WTS. by using her picture for the purpose of drawing attention for selling purposes

  Wrong very wrong

  I never knew that it was a picture of a real victim. I wonder about the girl now and what she might think of the organization that plastered her picture on a magazine that went around the world. I wonder if she was harrassed because of it. It caught her at her worst and told a very ugly story related to her condition. I wouldn't want my picture or story put out all over the world without permission if I was caught at my lowest point in my life. Doesn't it seem like a paparazzi and Enquirer thing to do? It was for shock value. I thought the WTS was above that.

  I never thought of it before, but putting a picture of young martyrs on their cover makes them look very very bad to others. It says, "Look at our dead children. We are so proud they allowed themselves to die for our organization!"

  yeah "THE KINGDUMB" will solve all the problems of starvation and disease and child prostitution by KILLING most of its victims cause they didn't want to buy the Witchtower from some ignorant window washer.

  Excellent point, Hamsterbait.

  I had totally forgotten that if the child prostitute is not converted by the time of the rapidly approaching end, the god of mercy will put her out of her misery by roasting her alive.

  That child prostitution cover makes me cringe. I didn't realize that was a real victim either. Some WT's and Awakes didn't go out in service with me. They went in the bin. I wasn't about to place sensitive issues like that at the door. I thought we were supposed to be bringing God's message to people doors, not making them aware of MORE problems they don't have and being a public news service.

  She's not one of Jehovah's Witnesses - so Jehovah will solve this terrible problem by executing her at Armageddon.

  Isn't that wonderful? What 'good news'!

  This was a great and revealing thread, but it is pissing me off more and more with every new comment.

  Let me ask this question once again - (I think it was already mentioned) -

  Where exactly did they get that picture (the one of the girl "prostitute")?

  There is, IMHO, no acceptable answer to this question.

  Did some JW photog in Bankok just snap the picture? Well, if so - the article should show how the WTBTS lifted her up out of this mess. If they did, for just her, then what about her younger sisters, and all of the other young kids everywhere?

  Did they buy the picture from some news service? Well, if so - this is pretty shameless exploitation.

  Did they steal the picture by copying it from some magazine or news paper? Well....

  Did they stage the picture using some little girl from one of the 3rd world congregations? Well...

  Like I said - no good answer here at all.

  i remember the addendum(b) to the "all ills will be corrected
  in paradise"..... something to the tune of " any suffering and pain
  will be forgotten and not called to mind" .... contributing to the
  illusion that waiting on jehovah was a humane practice.....

  wonder what has become of this tortured soul?
