    The August 15 issue of The Watchtower reports that the Association of Congolese and African Journalists for the Development in the Democratic Republic of Congo has awarded a Certificate of Excellence to Jehovah's Witnesses in recognition of The Watchtower and Awake! magazines.

    It states that this was to "reward individuals or social organisations that distinguish themselves through their contribution toward the development in [the Congo]".

    Oh dear!

    Cheers,

    Oz,

    I am ROTFLMAO on this one!

    Did you read the quotes from the newspaper article that commented on the award?!!!

    It comes straight from the "Purpose" statement of the magazines. Verbatim! Plagiarized! LOL

    I was peein' my pants when I read that!

    G'day outnfree,

    Yes, I noticed that, too. Now the Writing Dept can quote the Kinshasa newspaper Le Phare as if they had said it first! Oh, they're good, aren't they?

    Your profile pic, Ozzie, really set this off. Sort of "Hmmm, I wonder"
