processor, are you bilingual from early childhood? I am kind of amazed. To make puns of this sort requires a real command of a language, and you're doing it in 2.
I like your title just fine. jws have such a folklore about witches, it is a real insult to call it The Witchtower.
Speaking of witches, a book I have about the history of witches says the reason we think of old distorted dirty women with warts and ragged clothes is because the Xians were trying to make folk religions seem unappealing. Another myth.

This is great! Satire is a very effective means to expose groups like the WT. And very enjoyable to read, too. Keep it up!

Great Satire on the Witchtower Style in general. My belly is still aching from laughing!!
However, you are in serious breach of copyright law.
You have used WT artwork without any credits.
Under international copyright, a work of fiction, poetry, photography, or art is automatically copyrighted to
the person or agency which sets that work to paper.
I advise you to get rid of all the pictures you have appropriated from the WT litterature IMMEDIATELY.
They could sue the pants off you.
Correction they will. Look at the Girl who won her case against the Borg for her abuse. They took her to
court to try and reclaim their legal fees for fighting her accusations. Even thought the Crooklyn Lawyers
are volunteers!!

One of the reasons I kept looking at apostate boards was because they had a good sense of humor. (Remember the CO who said owning a cat was unscriptural?) Come to think of it, one reason I lean to the left politically is because of all the good comedy (Al Franken, Jon Stewart, etc.) Make me laugh and I'll probably listen to your viewpoint.

You can use photos and quotes under the Fair Use Doctrine of US Copyright Law, for satire, critique, etc.

No, my parents do not speak English at all. I often work with colleagues from different countries and use English then.
But two of the articles (about thinking and kingdom melodies) are loosely based on real WT/Awake ones ... so I stole some sentences from there. Also, there are lots of good dictionaries out there

I can't wait for the next issue. Is there any way to order this?
