Yet, “the poor,” the Bible says, “are not even threatened.” How can you benefit from that gem of wisdom? If you live in an area known for crime and violence or if you have to travel to such a place, do not attract attention to yourself by appearing to be affluent. Think carefully about what you wear and carry in public, especially if your possessions would be noticed.
It is good advice and advice you will find anywhere, we try do this when we travel to third world countries, looking more like backpackers. We can't do anything about speaking and looking like a local though.
What is annoying about the Awake comment is that they have taken the scripture out of context. The bible is discussing individuals who are in reality poor, not ones who appear to be.

That cover is very relevant! JWs are all about tablets.

More of a case of how not to be a victim.
People these days need to stay invisible to stay out of trouble.

Interesting. The German title is "Was macht die Bibel zeitlos?", that is, "Why is the Bible timeless?"
It just states that the Bible IS relevant today, the question is only WHY.
