    whenever they find a stray magazine in a waiting room or laundromat, does not dispose of it, but simply staples a brochure neatly to the inside front cover of the magazine that gives a summation of erroneous JW doctrine, and a phone number and website to contact for further information.

    I like that even better!

    I have in the past written on the covers the freeminds web site address as a public service, and a short blurb about it being a cult.

    When I visited the medical clinic in Seward, NE I would oftentimes throw the magazines that the JWs left away after I would read them. I figured it was a public service.

    Interesting how some are prepared to make decisions for others, and see it as some kind of virtue.

    Love the headline! Should add a tag to it though

    "Elderly Jehovahs Witness Attacks Innocent (Wo)Man in Hospital -- Bringing Reproach Upon the Organization - Judicial Committee Pending"

    This may seem like a moral dilemma. Should you discard a WatchTower or Awake and spare others the suffering poisoning their minds with WTS drivel will bring? Or take no action and let the unsuspecting public figure it out for themselves? We, as Ex JW's have inside information about the WTS. We know what falling for their lies will do to people. Would it not be a loving act to protect innocent people from this trash? Once a Mag is put on public display, it no longer belongs to the person who put it there. Anything that happens to it is beyond their control. Using the argument that if someone was putting out flyers for a business and saw someone removing them is NOT relevant here. If someone puts a flyer on my windscreen and I throw in away that is my choice, and if I know the business is fraudulent and remove flyers from other cars in the parking lot, I see that as my civic duty. But promoting a business is different that promotting a mind control cult. We know what those Mags can do to people, we should be willing to help prevent that from happening. Maverick

    Maybe you should have told her that you heard voices coming from the magazines and that you were getting rid of the demons.

    So we should be making decisions for other people? We should decide what is right and wrong for them? You don't teach people by hiding information from them.... I like this idea MUCH better...

    I know of at least one person out in California who, whenever they find a stray magazine in a waiting room or laundromat, does not dispose of it, but simply staples a brochure neatly to the inside front cover of the magazine that gives a summation of erroneous JW doctrine, and a phone number and website to contact for further information.

    Let people decide for themselves. If you think what they are being told is wrong then tell them why. Don't try to simply destroy the source it came from.

    They leave mags lay around outside on campus (I ask you, is this good stewardship?). It really peeves me that they are basically littering and counting time! I always throw them away when I see them.

    Jeff! We used to live in NE (Falls City)...and later drove for Seward Motor Freight! Wonder if we ever saw each other at an assembly or convention??
