    G'day all,

    So how's things with you? It's been one of those weeks, hasn't it? I'm sure many who are Roman Catholics are feeling a sense of loss and wondering how they will cope with change to a new pope. Of course, the dubs have had that in their history too, haven't they? How did they feel when Chuck Russell died? Or even when Joe Ratherflawed released the WT world from his presence?

    Still, there are other changes taking place within the Witchtower that must be causing the R&F some angst. Over the past few weeks we've been attempting to analyse the effects on the significant change in making the Awake! a monthly.

    Today we look at it from the viewpoint of the R&F. Are you ready? Good!

    This weekend's poll question is:


    What will you do with the time saved from reading the bi-monthly issues of "Awake!" ?

    1. Read the "Watchtower" one more time.

    2. Use a ruler for underlining my "answers" in the Watchtower study article.

    3. Sleep

    4. Make love.

    5. Do more witnessing i.e. door-knocking.........but not too loudly!

    6. Check out JWD one more time.

    7. Go to an extra meeting.

    8. Do more!

    9. Laminate the monthly issue so that it was always looking "theocratic".

    10. Calculate how many monthly issues I need to match with my Watchtower order.

    11. Dunno.

    12. Other (do tell!)


    As usual these past few years, we're looking forward to reading your replies and don't forget............................................

    Enjoy!

    Cheers, Ozzie

    12. Other...Ozzie, you think JWs read the Awake! Next, you will be telling me they read the Watchtower....or the Bible!

    Yeah Blondie, I know, I know! Still, that's what they say! I don't believe it, either!

    It's so strange now looking in on them and realising it was all an illusion. They say they're "true" christians and yet now I realise they're not even christian! Why, they've just had their annual rejection of christ feast where they make sure that all their members are there in the KHs just so that they can all be offered the bread and the wine and reject it!!! Amazing, they call themselves the true, yet of course they're the false.

    Cheers from the downunder mob,

    My family has just been brave enough to show me the latest Asleep, but only to show me a picture of a friend bedecked in black pearls. They haven't left it lying around for me to read. They don't do that any more. Even the WTCD has disappeared. Just as well I made a backup.

    Bi-monthly Asleep isn't going get me any more leisure time.

    G'day Black Sheep!

    How is it across the pond?

    Bi-monthly Asleep isn't going get me any more leisure time.

    How about the family? Will it give them any more time? What will they do with that time, I wonder? Say, they might use it to search for your backup CD!!

    Cheers, Ozzie

    What's an "Awake!" magazine? Is it like "Family Circle" or "Martha Stewart - Living"? Does it carry recipes and articles about home decorating? If not I have no interest.

    12.I barely read those magazines during my JW glory days and I'm an avid reader.

    No one has mentioned it to me yet here,maybe they know the society's reasoning on it is just another fake excuse to hide the real reason they're cutting back to 1 issue a month.

    I'll spend more time reading other magazines....like Automobile, Motor Trend, Sports Car and others like that. Maybe I'll spend more time at the track. I'll spend more time doing most anything but reading Awake magazine.
