Randy and I were on the CTA bus the other day and noticed about 6 or 7 JW "tracts". We put them in our pockets and dumped them later. I couldn't even look at them.
I always see Watchtowers and tracts on the subway or the bus. I try to pick them up and throw them away. I wish "witnessing" had been so easy when I was going in service!!!
Personally, as a long term inactive JW and as odious as I now find those magazines, I feel the producers of those rags would rather they be discarded as quickly as possible also.
Not only to create a marketing demand so that Jahs Sales Associates will purchase more of next weeks issue, but the corporation must realize the magazines esthetic value is very low and any discerning reader would come to the same conclusion if they actually allowed themselves to critically scrutinize the magazines content in relation to the reality.
A more fitting demise for the magazines than rogue censorship would be to leave them to fester in the wind like Las Vegas nudie call girl advertising littering the gutters of The
Strip or the more environmentally friendly; inserts placed inside the magazines with instructions of where on the internet one could find alternative information.
