Infographic on the March 2013 Awake

The Watchtower has chided its members repeatedly for many years about not reading anything it deems unsuitable, especially when it is composed by former members.

Interestingly, the new March 2013 Awake magazine pages 10-11 has an article about a woman that studied and then converted from Judaism to Jehovah's Witnesses. There are three key points in the article that actually encourage those with discernment to go against the Watchtower ban on books written by those with dissenting views. See if you can catch the clues by clicking below to read the article:

Here is a screengrab of the article:

It's okay to read apostate books?

Why did she convert to JW after readig the NWT, when there are prolly a dozen other xian churches closer to her house ?

Funny how the star of the photos is not even reading the bible but a WTS publication.

No, no, my friend--the gates to the prison are only open when you come in, they do not stay that way once you are inside, ha ha!

Why would she not become a Christian? Why a JW? Seems so odd that a 33 year old woman would do that to herself. I wonder if she really knows what she got herself into?

Judiasm to JW-ism makes more sense than it would seem, since the JWs are Arians. The Arian position creates less conflict with Judiasm's monotheism.

Well the real kicker in the article is when she prays to God without her Jewish aids, JWs come a-knocking on the door!

If it were two Mormon boys, the experience would be related by the LDS church right now!

I wonder when the Asleep! is going to detail the stories about how jokehovian witlesses become spiritual Satanists. At least that way, people would be able to (even encouraged to) research all sides of the story before, and even after, making that decision. Instead of getting just one side of the story, you get all sides. And this goes equally when people are recruited from Judaism (which the witlesses seem to emulate, so this "sister(??)" is going to be right at home with their policies and bans on everything fun), Christi-SCAM-ity, or Islam. They have stories about people being of various backgrounds becoming witlesses--even atheists.

Now, I challenge the washtowel slaveholdery to come up with one verifiable account where anyone was recruited, without coercion or threats, from spiritual Satanism to jokehovianism. Have fun trying to come up with such an account.

The interview is incomplete. Did she get baptized as a JW or just reexamine her faith? If she did convert, how long ago? 5 years or 5 months?

She'll rethink the JW religion, afterall she did it with her first religion.

The JW's teachings are bible-based, not " the truth? " What was she reading? The book laying on the couch looked like the Proclaimers book. It didn't look like a bible, and the other looked like the All Scripture book. It was hard to tell from the photo. Also, is that an actress/jw? Would the woman in the interview have her picture published if she never converted to JWism? If it is an JW actress, that is kind of funny. What was her motivation? Was she type-cast?! Is she a method actor?!

@ Data-Dog - Yeah I thought as much-- could be a total fake at the worst, definitely at least a s t r e t c h of how it really happened.
