My husband (non-JW) just called me from work, seems 2 people walked into his workplace, walks up to him and says, "Can you put these in your coffee room?" at the same time shoving 2 mags UPSIDE DOWN into his hand. He was busy, says, "Sure" (thinking nothing of it).
When they leave, (the visit was all of 1 or 2 secs) he turns them over, YUP, the blessed WATCHTOWER and AWAKE.
He dumped them into the garbage.

too funny! they gave them to him upside down... must have been of the "just get them into their hands (so you get the placement even if they throw them away)" mentality.
lol. i dont think he'll be caught out next time.
pioneers. jeez,
My friend and I used to go out together in the middle of the week when only 4 people showed up to go out in service. We would split up and go our seperate ways. I remember going to the mall and using the restroom to place literature, but it always took a really long time to find the bathroom. hahaha Then of course we had to eat a brunch and place literature with the cashier. It's amazing what you'll do out of desperation!
I'm sure these guys were just hoping not to talk and quickly get the he** out of there!
I HAD A SELF INKING RUBBER STAMP MADE THAT SAID.......'EXAMPLE OF CULT MIND CONTROL LITERATURE' AND JUST STAMPED THEM WHEN I SAW THEM IN HOSPITALS OR LAUNDRAMATS, ETC.
NO NEED TO THROW THEM AWAY, HAVE SOME FUN WITH THEM!

Yeah, one of my co-workers who knows my whole story was out taking pictures of homes that we insure and a JW and her little daughter approached her. She was placing an Awake with articles about the mountains (which we happen to live in the rockies). Julia knew she was a JW but she did not want to say anything negative cause she felt sorry for the girl (maybe 8 years old) and she just took the mags to get rid of her, but the funny thing was the women NEVER said she was a JW and the Watchtower was hidden under the Awake. Julia did not even know she was handed two mags at first. Julia made the observation that the JWs must be having a hard time placing literature if they have to hide who they are and hid the more "boring" magazine.

I think your friend Julia hit the nail on the head. When I wasn't here last week, JWs called on my wife; she took the mag (because she wants to help me set them up for a good ol' fashioned a$$ whooping). Anyway, it turns out that there was a Asleep! hidden inside the WitchPower. (surpisingly, the Witchpower had the more interesting cover).
As for not identifying themselves: reminds me of when an old high school friend tried to sell me on Amway a few years ago. We were 45 minutes into his presentation before he mentioned the name Amway. (I wasn't surprised, I was just waiting -- seemed like forever -- for the penny to drop.

I just feel so sorry for the jws.
Hasn't that ALWAYS been the strategy? I remember 20 years ago always only putting the Asleep magazine on top...they at least had some interesting covers on them that a householder might find of value. Even if the Asleep only contained "mind popcorn" and no real substance. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Asleep goes to once a month.....boooooring!
