I've heard many comments about cong. members won't be presenting this mag..........it's a touchy subject, not to mention the advice in the awake isn't any different than advice from Dr. Phil, Oprah, etc... etc..........
One interesting obversation- at the end of the article it doens't say to just "wait on God's Kingdom".........this is how the very last paragraph goes.........
"where there's a will, there's a way. Do you have the motivation to do something about it? As an overweight child or overweight adult, what are your choices? Lose wight of possibly lose years of life. Adopt an active life-style, and feel the satisfaction of accomplishment- even in small things, such as smaller sizes in your clothing!" (exclamation point in magazine also)
Years ago, people with health problems weren't encouraged to get them taken care of.......just had to wait for the "new system".
