    Dizzycat,

    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.

    No! It said "Are you a embarrassed by the size of our stocks"?

    Well, it wasn't an official magazine, but 29 years ago yesterday (Christmas 1973), we were out distributing Kingdom News tract #17, titled (in big bold letters) "Has Religion Betrayed God and Man?" Great stuff to be handing people on Christmas morning. We were distributing them in a hit-and-run fashion, not actually trying to talk to people, just get the tract into their hands and go on to the next one. After handing it to one guy, as I walked back out to the street, I heard him say from behind me, "You people got a lot of stones!!"

    In future years, I made it a practice not to go out in service on Christmas day...

    There's the old quick-fold-back-the-pages to a non embarrassing article before anyone opens the door offer. Did anyone ever place 2 WT or 2 Awakes, then use the lame mag for fire starter? It was generally accepted thing to when I pioneered. Lots of wood stoves around. Us "sales reps" had to draw the line somewhere not to look like complete fools.

    SheilaM & Scully: me too and still angry. I spent 2 hours getting 3 preschoolers ready to go out Saturday FS. I was put with an older pioneer couple(one was an elder) that apparently didn't want to be hassled with kids. After 20 minutes of D to D, a very heavy rain began. They gave me the territory to work by myself. They promptly dumped me & kids back at my car while they went off to do RVs. The next day, Sun. Meeting, I handed the territory to the elder that gave it to me, at a crowded lit. counter. I growled & hissed out a "Don't you EVER take me out in FS for 20 min. wasting my morning AGAIN!! Nobody ever did either, it was one of the last times spent in that nonsense.

    I was mortified by the 1971 WT that explained the Society's new view that the physical heart was the seat of emotion. The explanations were beyond ridiculous, which made me embarrassed to be part of an organization whose leaders could come up with such complete bullshit.

    I remember going in field service one day with a friend to 'place' that issue. I just tried to offer the magazines without comment, but he insisted on explaining the jist of the article to one woman. He was quite unembarrassed, but I felt like melting into the sidewalk.

    I think the saddest one was called something like, "Help or comfort to those who have lost a loved one", or something like that. The society being the lying, selfish, stealing, murderers that they are, attempting to convince others that they are actually trying to help those who are grieving makes me want to puke.

    Its SO obvious that they are actually targeting people who are emotionally down and vulnerable in order to recruit members, or servants should I say, in order help their organization grow.

    I would like to send them a watchtower titled,

    "I lost my grandfather because he refused a blood transfusion. Help that!"
