Awake! Saved My Life! (page 2)

Hi Funchback,

I remember reading quite a few "from our readers" sections in the AWAKE! rags, that it saved peoples lives. One in particualar had to do with lead poisoning and how no doctors could figure out what was wrong with the child having convulsions daily.

Here are a few of my favorite AWAKE quotes.

You must forgive me for forgetting to renew the subscription for the good magazine Awake! It is an informative, educational, and factual magazine with inspiring and awakening topics. I want all the back issues I've missed. I cannot miss even one. Thank you for patiently helping to fight ignorance.

College Education?
When I first read your article "College Education-A Preparation for What?" I thought to myself: 'Another put-down for a college education.' (January 8, 1987) But after careful consideration, now that I have finished college, I can truly appreciate the advice given. Although it's too late for me, I hope young people who read the article realize that a college education prepares you for absolutely nothing. I look back and regret those years of my life.

peace,

"I have read Playboy for 40 years...Recently, I was at work when I experienced a sharp pain in my private area. I decided to go home, but when I had a second wave of pain, something clicked. I clearly remembered an article in Playboy that described the symptoms of a slumping woody. I decided to go to the hospital. I was still in the waiting room when my "head" slumped to one side and I passed out. I was told this the next day in intensive care.

"I am here today because of the swift intervention of skillful doctors. But I must also give credit to your magazine, which provided information that helped me to make the wise decision to go to the hospital. Playboy saved my life!" And the pictures aren't bad, either!

Over on Beliefnet, one of the JWs referred to the Awake! magazine as a deep scientific journal.

Please don't choke on your tongues while trying to stifle your laughter.

"I'm in tremendous pain and I can't breathe. What does the Society say I should do?"

Imagine he'd missed that issue of Awake! He wouldn't have known to go to a hospital and would probably have died.

I was at work when I experienced a sharp pain in my stomach and chest. I decided to go home, but when I had a second wave of pain, something clicked......

......I needed a smoke and a beer. Then three waves of pain hit my lower abdomen. I knew then, that it was time to study the Watchtower, but only after a vigorous swim, during which time I took some queludes. At this point I am blind. Then, I felt around for the Awake magazine and remember....I could possibly have something wrong with me; excrutiating waves of chest, abdomen and leg pain.....yes!. Besides that I was vomiting blood and organs.

I got to the hospital. I started refusing blood, while some internal organs began poking through the skin. Then, in whispered agony, I told the doctor that the Awake is the only reason I came to him in the first place.

He promptly hit me with the sedative, and here I am

.....in hell.

The AWAKE also saved my life!!!

Just as I was about to get stung by a huge ass mosquito, which possibly may have been infected with the deadly west nile virus,

I promptly rolled up the useless magazine, and swatted the little critter to its death.

Thank you Awake, I owe you my life.

Imagine being so damn stupid that you needed an article out of an awake to save your life. Good grief. Great posts on this thread.

Personally this website saved my life. I thought my sexual powers had dissapeared until some of these hot apostate babes posted their pics. Like that ex-sister right on top of me here

Awake! Saved My Life!
