    I didn't want to hijack Billy X's attempt at hijacking another thread directed to our apostate terrorist, Reinna. This is a parady that only ex JW's could possibly appreciate. Whether you appreciate my macabre sense of humor is entirely another matter. I take on the form of Mrs Manners/Judith Martin for this. Enjoy! And excuse my mean sense of humor. I need an outlet......

    Kidnapping

    Thank you for the article "Don’t Do Anything Stupid, or I’ll Kill You." (November 22, 1991) I too was a victim of a robbery in which I was held victim in my car. My abductor knew that I was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses because I constantly called Jehovah’s name out loud. Fortunately, I suffered no physical abuse other than swollen wrists from being tied up and a few scars from being thrown into the trunk. I remained calm and was able to dig my way out of the trunk through the backseat of my car. The incident and the trial made local news. My lawyer, neighbors, friends, and family gave credit to Jehovah for my escape. g92 5/8 p. 30 From Our Readers ***

    Dear Gentle Reader

    We are glad you got out too. We are sure that the burglar wanted to get the hell away from you as well. Jail probably seemed like relief from the chirping you gave from the trunk. Having survived an in-car attack myself, I would suggest doing what I did, and kick the attacker in the nuts next time. You are allowed you know.

    Pit Bulls I was the owner of a pit bull, and she was the sweetest and most timid dog I ever owned. I was therefore offended by the title of the article "‘Devil Dogs’?" (May 22, 1992) This title gives the idea that all pit bulls are related to Satan and things that are evil. Simply owning a pit bull could now result in offending others. I agree, though, that people should take precautions if they are thinking of owning one. I would recommend that they get to know the background of the dog and its parents. Find out, too, if the dog has been well cared for. If so, it’s more likely to have a gentle disposition.

    Dear Gentle Reader

    I like you. You figured out that some nutty JW is going to run with this and create problems where no problems exist. I also like your idea of getting to know the dogs and their owners. You JW's should try that with "apostates". They too are treated like Pit Bulls, and are very misunderstood.

    Zulu Proverbs I am a 15-year-old girl who reads Awake! regularly and thinks it is super! I must say that your artists certainly know how to draw. When I saw the sketch of the funny-looking "cow" in the article "Zulu Proverbs" (March 8, 1992), I could not stop laughing. I do not understand why so many people refuse to read Awake!

    Dear Gentle Reader,

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Grandparents

    I am eight years old and want to thank you for the article "Young People Ask . . . Why Did Our Grandparents Move In?" (July 8, 1992) Since Granny moved in, every time I practice my keyboard harmonica, Granny tells me I’m making a noisy racket. But she has also praised me sometimes, such as when I poured her a cup of tea and she said, "Thank you." When I read the article, I realized I do have to be kind to Granny after all.

    Dear Gentle Reader

    You are 8 years old and learning to play the harmonica. Parents all over the world hate you. Your Granny is right, all you are good for is tea delivery. Stop playing the harmonica, stay away from the drums and french trombone too. Try Soduku while humming. It's quieter.

    Wow, more inane letters from inane readers of AWAKE. I forgot how often I wanted to make fun of these things....

    I really appreciated your article "You Can Be a Better Reader!" (August 22, 1984) Previously I used to read articles but did not get much out of them because I really just glanced over them rapidly. As a result, I could not remember much of what I had read. But now, thanks to that article, I get much more out of my reading. Thanks a lot.

    Dear Gentle Reader

    Your welcome. So you're saying the more closely you read WT's, the more you get out of them?

    *** g86 7/22 p. 28 From Our Readers ***

    I wish to express much thanks for your publishing the article "The Homosexual Life-Style—Just How Gay Is It?" (March 22, 1986) As one who was once a part of that life-style, I can honestly say that not only was it not gay but it was very painful. It was a struggle for me to change my thinking and my way of living, but following the admonition in Isaiah 48:17, 18 and the encouragement at 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, coupled with the desire to please Jehovah God and to hate what is bad (and not myself), helped me to free myself. Anyone involved in a similar life-style can be "cured" only if he relies on Jehovah and wants to do what is right in his eyes.

    Dear Gentle Reader

    Leo? Leo Greenlees? Is that you?

    *** g86 7/22 p. 28 From Our Readers ***

    I have homosexual feelings that are contrary to what Jehovah approves. I’ve been to my share of specialists, so-called Christian and non-Christian alike. They cannot understand why I do not simply give in to my desires. It’s simple—I love Jehovah. Coping with these desires is very difficult—sometimes it seems almost impossible—but it can be done. The question I had to ask myself was: "Whom do I love more, Jehovah or myself?" I chose Jehovah. (Matthew 22:37) I am happier now, having kept my love and loyalty for Jehovah, than when I loved myself more. My message to those who fight those feelings is this: If you love God as you keep saying you do, you’ll learn to rely on his love and strength and not on your own love for pleasure.

    Dear Gentle Reader

    Got your first letter Leo. You still can't be back on the Governing Body again. Stop writing. Btw, here's your rent check for the month, you hypocrite.

    We very much appreciated your article "Africa’s River of Superlatives" and learned many things from it. (August 8, 1983) However, why is it stated that the Nile is the world’s longest river? We consulted several dictionaries and they all show the Amazon to be the longest, extending over 7,025 kilometers (4,365 mi)?

    Dear Gentle Reader

    Thats nothing. You should see what we do to the date of Jerusalems first destruction. Again, why are you reading anything other then the WT and AWAKE? Maybe you should consider dropping out of school or something.

    *** g84 1/22 p. 28 From Our Readers ***

    I want to thank you for publishing the item "Headphone Hazards" in your feature "Watching the World." (April 8, 1983) I have always made use of headphones and I can now see how harmful they could be. The information will help me to be careful from now on.

    Dear Gentle Reader

    Huh? Sorry, I was listening to the WT on my MP3 player. Get a life, the writer of that article got kicked out a long time ago. Ray Franz wrote that article.

    *** g83 3/22 p. 28 From Our Readers ***

    I enjoy your articles on "Young People Ask." Could you please write an article about working in school, because I find difficulty in trying to concentrate because of all the noise the children make in class. The teachers allow the children to make this noise, and this annoys me very much and I can’t do my lessons.

    Dear Gentle Reader

    If they were JW's, we would berate them, take away all self esteem and identity, and break their spirit for you. But since they are worldly, just remember, we believe they will all be destroyed. Just think, you will be the only kid alive in your class in a few weeks, er months, er years,... whatever. Isn't that cool?

    I just wanted to express my appreciation for the illustrations in recent issues of your magazine. They seem to arouse my curiosity about what’s inside each magazine. They are very informative. I find it easier to remember the article in the magazines if I can recall the illustrations that go with them. Your illustrations have proved true the saying: "A picture is worth a thousand words." I really appreciate your efforts in making the magazines enjoyable!

    Hubble Trouble: Your comments in "Watching the World" (December 8, 1990) made it sound as if the Hubble telescope was a complete failure. However, they have overcome some of its initial problems, and it is able to see things with much greater clarity than earthbound telescopes.

    Dear Gentle Reader

    Thats nothing, we were considering making the launch of the Sputnik satellite as the new beginning of the last days. Unfortunately, this new light lost the 2 batteries powering the flash light.

    You wrote in 1990? I think time has proven just how right we were about that satanic Hubble telescope. (hehe, Hubble rhymes with Trouble! God we're clever)

    Animal Articles: Heartfelt thanks for the articles on animals and nature. At first I didn’t really pay much attention to those articles, though I always noticed that the pictures were beautiful and colorful. One day someone mentioned an article he had read about an antelope called the kudu. (February 22, 1991) This aroused my interest in reading the article. I also began reading other articles, such as the one on the mongoose. (March 8, 1991) These articles have helped me to "see" Jehovah through his creation.

    Dear Gentle Reader

    Let me get this straight, we helped you "see" Jehovah by the picture of the North end of an Antelope heading South? Maybe we're on to something.....

    Selling Blood I want to express appreciation for the articles on the sale and consumption of blood and blood products. (October 22, 1990) I had no idea that it was so big an industry. How it deepens our appreciation for our Creator, who protects his people by placing a prohibition against the use of blood!

    Dear Gentle Reader,

    So glad to have scared the ever loving shit out of you. Did you know that Satans world will soon be promoting blood milkshakes? Yup, always appearing as an angel of light that ol Satan. Soon, Satan will cause all cars to run on blood.

    BOO!!!!

    Garbage Glut: I liked very much the article "The Garbage Glut—Will It Bury Us?" (September 22, 1990) Few people recognize the quantity of garbage being produced daily and how dangerous it is for the planet. Thank you for the clarity of your article.

    Dear Gentle Reader,

    I know what you mean. I had tons of WT's and the garbage company charged me extra tonnage to take that shit away. That clear enough for ya?

    Thank you for publishing the article "Out Of the Jaws—The Great Impostor." (June 22, 1991) My daughter always had headaches and was treated in various ways, but the cause was not found. I took the article to a dentist; he took X rays and found the problem. Now she is receiving the right treatment. I am not yet one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, but I enjoy reading Awake!

    Dear Gentle Reader

    We wanted you to get involved with JW's, not dentistry. You missed the point dumass!

    Thirty years ago I was diagnosed as having narcolepsy. All my life I have lived with the problems that arise from falling asleep at the wrong moment. Because I fall asleep at Christian meetings, others have concluded that I have little appreciation for spiritual matters. Efforts to explain my situation have been in vain. Therefore, thanks for your fine article (April 8, 1991) about the strange sleeping sickness.

    Dear Gentle Reader

    You fall asleep at our meetings? I think you have been misdiagnosed.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    I have a question for you to answer:

    Dear Old Governing Geezers:

    How are we supposed to take your sex reasonings seriously?

    How are we supposed to take your sex reasonings seriously?

    Dear Gentle Reader,

    Sex is a gift from god, esp if you are a man. We have taken our cues from holy spirit, some good ol fashion early 20th Century Protestant world views, and a small dash of "YUCK! Thats gross!" thrown in.

    How could we go wrong?

    Can I still serve as an elder if I have herpes? I'm asking for a friend.

    Dear Gentle Reader

    Are you asking for a friend to pass your herpes onto, or are you just lonely?

    Oh, I get it. Never mind.

    Yes, you can still serve as an elder, esp if you are married and got your herpes from your wife. (I could be opening up a can of worms here, may want to talk to her) On the other hand, if you are single, the only acceptable type of herpes you can have are cold sores and still be an elder.

    Really, you can still serve as an elder and do whatever you want. The key is to keep it on the DL.

    Dear Watchtower Glubberning Blody of Jehovers Witnesses,

    I want to get baptised but I mastrubate non-stop. Is it possible to get baptised although I am guilty of this terrible sin?
