Placing Publications - The Reality

by Joe Grundy in

jw
friends

i'm not, never have been, a jw, etc.. a couple of months ago, on a mb entirely unconnected with religion a poster told of her concerns that her pre-teen step-daughter had started to study (with her mother) with jws.. the poster knew nothing of jws - her concern was because her step-daughter had asked her not to tell her husband (the girl's father) of this and keep it secret.

(apparently the mother had previously had connections with jws and the father was not happy with this).. i posted on that mb, mentioned some concerns, and later got into e-mail contact with the step-mother.

i put together a brief note about some history of the jws, some concerns i had (mainly gathered from reading jwd) and sent it to her, just to make her aware of what she may be dealing with.

Hi,

I'm new here, and also and non-never-was JW....but my mother-in-law's one. We went to visit her recently, and she had the Awake! magazines strategically placed in the bathroom so that they couldn't be missed when using the toilet. She's a dear sweet old lady....but I just hate those magazines with the creepy sci-fi look to them, and all the pictures of Stepford people. They even portray Jesus as blonde, fair skinned, blue eyed man with a short sensible haircut. They should change the name from Awake! to Oh Brother!
