  Man they used to come up with some corny topics, and even worse covers. It made an already unbearable task even worse. The top of the crap pile for me was trying to place a magazine entitled the salty drink that saves lives. No wonder I have a drinking problem now!

  Reborn gave the ultimate answer.

  But personally I can remember one. It was a hot day in July, I had two kids in tow, and a very preganant belly about to pop with the third. Guess what the magazine I was to place was ???
  " Family Planning"

  I felt like I did not practice what I preached. hehhehe

  And that old goat , she didnt even have pity on my swollen ankles and buy , yes I said buy , my magazines.

  I used to hate the Christmas ones, because I knew that noone was interested in reading that, when they were busy enjoying themselves.

  The one that had the heading:

  ARE YOU EMBARRASSED BY THE SIZE OF YOUR COCK ?

  Erm.... at least that's what I think it said.

  *hi Little Toe*

  I'll never forget the time my mother tried to place one that had "pornography?" written in big letters across the front. One householder looked horrified.

  • "Menopause"

  I remember when this magazine came out, it was jarring to me, because I couldn't believe how utterly clueless they were to make this the cover story. It was a glimpse behind the curtain, I guess.

  • "Mystery of the Alpine Iceman"

  a running joke among dubs in my area to this day

  • "Are you Bored?"

  Does anybody remember this one? It had this goofy picture of some poor Bethel boy giving his best "bored" face (pic must have been taken during a meeting)

  • "Help for Arthritis Sufferers"

  This was from late 2001. A clear sign of the ever increasing vacuity in the WT.

  • "Does the Devil Make Us Sick?"

  This one had the picture of some Hindu-looking Indian woman holding a child. Very strange.

  • "The Day the Towers Came Down"

  I only heard about this one, I was on the internet and on my way out when it came out. How completely embarrassing that they did a 9/11 mag.

  I absolutely refused to place the magazines that boldly proclaimed the Watchtowers 100th "birthday" (anniversary, whatever you want to call it).

  I thought it was hugely hypocritical that they should celebrate and brag about their 100 years worth of false prophecy, yet if I dared celebrate my own life by observing my own birthday or the birthdays of loved ones, I could get DFd for it.

  Love, Scully

  Really? Interesting. I didn't see that one. What issue was it?

  Like Reborn said, I echo his sentiments. Nothing more strange when I think back was dressing to the nines and going out on a Saturday morning to place magazines. Think of the Saturdays I could have spent in my peaceful bed.
