Dumbest Awake Title Ever?

  I hold in my hand the Nov. Awake magazine entitled "Technology - Blessing or Curse?".

  Now, I understand the need for balance and moderation in using technology, as the magazine says - but could they come up with a more intelligent sounding title? It makes the question sound as if abandoning technology might be a solution, a considered choice, a real possibility. Should we be Luddites or Amish?

  What next? Maybe "Bathrooms - Do We Really Need Them?" How about " Modern Medicine - Is It Actually A Good Idea?" "Could We Do Without Anesthesia?" , "Can You Save Money By Discarding All Your Appliances?" "Should We Bring Back Buggy Whips and Slide Rules?"

  Duh!

  Met-

  This is exactly what we used to do in service. Make up ridiculous article names.

  Who makes up these things? Is this being passed down through generations, dumb sounding titles?

  "Tacos, a real Mexican treat!"

  "Sewing, can be fun!"

  "I used to clean toilets for profit. Now I clean toilets for Jehovah!"

  "Why I became a Proctologist" As told by a Bethel Elder

  "Is Cocaine really all that its cracked up to be?" A Pimps real life story

  "Parents! Do you know what your children are watching on the internet?"

  "Children! Should you turn in your dad to the Elders for his viewing Web Porno sites?"

  go to: http://www.watchtower.org/

  on the main page:

  Do Superstitions Control Your Life? Jws are among the most superstitious people I know.

  Can We Grow Enough Food? The technology (ha ha) used to make better crops is based on evolution.

  Why Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Not Use Images in Their Worship? Because they are too superstitious to allow anything vaguely associated with images into their homes.

  anyhoo, you could go on and on...

  The thread cannot pass through here without mentioning the most offensive, distastefull, and criminally ridiculous Awake of all:

  The one of all the kids (including a cover spread of their pictures) that died because of the recently invented (and revised) blood transfusion law.

  Yes , JWoods, I abhor that magazine cover with the dead JW children, too. JW's don't bother to think that bloodguilt and divine punishment might apply to their religion.

  What has been seen cannot ever be unseen. This one may well come to haunt them for years. Not even a doctrinal change and a full statement of retraction can ever take it away.
