  Not only did the public watchtower issue attempt to screw with educate those who believe in being Born Again, but their Preach to Teach your Children article (pg 24-25) also reinforced the idea of keeping away from those who aren't JWs worship false gods. Reminds me of their recent meanderings in their April study edition, only this one has been dubbed down simplified to brain wash teach the children. A small box on the bottom of pg 29 relates the Catholic observence of Lent to pagan practices.

  I'm not any good at a Blondie type rehash, but this issue makes me wish I was.

  For those who are interested in the parts of this issue that were not already posted and do not have a copy of their own, I scanned the issue in its entirety and put in a searchable PDF format.

  I received my copy last weekend. There were already a few alarm bells ringing at my first quick read but I need to read more closely.

  It is the most 'doctrinal' issue of the new public edition I've seen yet - more like the old-style ones where you got the studies. All the WT-speak is back eg 'bad association', they just try to put it into a Biblical context (and fail miserably!) rather than org context....

  ... which would make it appear pretty harmless to the unsuspecting reader.
