Hi zev,
My opinion is that the From Our Readers is 99.99% bull-shit.
I'd bet my life you won't ever see anything like this printed in the F O R section:
Pedophiles Thank you so much for article "Sexual Exploitation of Children - A Worldwide Problem" (4/8/97 AWAKE) After reading the article, I asked myself, "Does my church tolerate or cover up child abuse?..Is my religion holding firmly to moral principles?" The article reinforced my decision to leave the Jehovah's Witnesses, and I'm now confident that it was the wisest choice I could have made to protect my children. I now know how dangerous trusting religions and man-made religious organisations, such as the Watchtower Bible and Tract society is. Thank you again for the food at the proper time!

~~~~"Think of the heartbreak of parents who have discovered, too late, that their children have been abused by trusted clergymen, teachers, or even close family members. It would be good for you as a parent to ask yourself, 'Does my church tolerate or cover up child abuse? Is my religion holding firmly to high moral principles?' Answers to such questions could help you to make wise choices in protecting your children."~~~~ AWAKE! 4/8/97
PS .... And who wouldn't just love this one? 3/22/98 AWAKE!, From Our Readers!
"Awake! 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."
