is this the article in question ?
1971 "How Is Your Heart? … The heart, nevertheless, is intricately connected with the brain by the nervous system and is well supplied with sensory nerve endings. The sensations of the heart are recorded on the brain. It is here that the heart brings to bear on the mind its desires and its affections in arriving at conclusions having to do with motivations. In reverse flow, the mind feeds the heart with interpretations of the impulses from the senses and with conclusions reached that are based on the knowledge it has received, either at the moment or from the memory. There is a close interrelationship between the heart and the mind, but they are two different faculties, centering in different locations. The heart is a marvelously designed muscular pump, but, more significantly, our emotional and motivating capacities are built within it. Love, hate, desire (good and bad), preference for one thing over another, ambition, fear-in effect, all that serves to motivate us in relationship to our affections and desires springs from the heart. … It is significant that heart-transplant patients, where the nerves connecting the heart and brain are severed, have serious emotional problems after the operation. The new heart is still able to operate as a pump, it having its own power supply and timing mechanism independent of the general nervous system for giving impulse to the heart muscle, but just as it now responds only sluggishly to outside influences, the new heart in turn registers few, if any, clear factors of motivation on the brain. To what extent the nerve endings of the body and the new heart are able to make some connections in time is not clear, but this cannot be ruled out as one of the several factors causing the serious mental aberrations and disorientation that doctors report are observed in heart-transplant patients. These patients have donor-supplied pumps for their blood, but do they now have all the factors needed to say they have a "heart"? One thing is sure, in losing their own hearts, they have had taken away from them the capacities of "heart" built up in them over the years and which contributed to making them who they were as to personality." (Watchtower, 3/1/1971 p.133-139)

Whats the strangest watchtower/awake article ever
by sleepy inwhats the strangest watchtower/awake or other publication article you,ve ever seen?.
i know theres some very strange old articles , but a few years ago there was one in the awake if i remmember right which had a picture of two brothers holding hands on the ministrty.. one was african the other white.. apparently it was common for men to hold hands in this country and was perectly normal for hetrosexual men to do.. a brother who was a missionary recounted how he was shocked when out with a local brother for the first time on the ministry and the brother took his hand in his.. a lot of people though the article was very odd and didn't like it.

JEHOVAHS BLESSINGS
by Blackcat inrecently spoke to a 72 yr-old, who has been jw for around 2oyrs.. he was telling me how well he was doing in field-misery sorry ministry,how many return-visits he had and how he leaves the mags in old peoples homes,and "witnesses" to the pensioners there.. then he went on to tell me that jehovah had really blessed him financialy with a fantastic pension from his previous employers!!
the only problem being he took early retirement before he became a jw from the company.. does jehovah reward his people with financial wealth?.
if he does, i was robbed by my local newsagent when i had a paper round aged 14 !

IF HE DOES, I WAS ROBBED BY MY LOCAL NEWSAGENT WHEN I HAD A PAPER ROUND AGED 14 !!My wages being 4 pounds per week!!(then again i was,nt classed as "spiritual enough")
I knew i should have wore my shoes out in field misery rather than deliver newspapers when i was young!!WATCHTOWER 06/15/1974, p 381 :

After all he seemed to enjoy it too!!
THE WATCH TOWER, Jan. 15, 1919, pg. 32 : " A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE TO THE DEAR FRIENDS EVERYWHERE:-Grace, mercy and peace be multiplied unto you! Am taking advantage of an opportunity to dictate this note to extend to all the dear friends throughout the United Sates and Canada my heartfelt thanks for the great love bestowed upon us and manifested in the numerous Christmas presents which I and my associates have received, as well as cards, letters and messages of love. May the Lord bless you one and all ! I am unable to write you personally, and so am asking that this general message be given you. I am overwhelmed by you expressions of love, dear brethren. May the Lord re- ward you richly ! Your brother and servant by his grace. J. F. RUTHERFORD."

We as a family have just enjoyed a fantastic Christmas together, something that my wife and i never had as kids(as we where both raised as jws)
The sense of excitement and magic on a childs face on Christmas morning is something to treasure...funny how i never felt like that at kingdom halls and assemblies !!
I think Christmas is a time for families, to share gifts and each others company and it draws people together. I visited my JW parents home 2 days after Christmas,it was like a mortuary !!! no excitement or enjoyment about the festive period, they where due to attend a meeting, maybe that can account for the gloomy faces!!
I found being a jw was very dour and extremely boring, guess thats why i enjoy this time of year so much.
Anyway, got to go, another party to attend tonight, yet more alcohol! bet rutherford wishes he was with me!!
