    This guy seems familiar with how the JWS work and he let this JW know it. If you're wondering how I cam across this. I was doing a search on Damon Wayans to see if he was still a JW because I was watching an episode of his show "My wife and kids" and his son on the show said something about placing mags.

    Anyway, here it is.

    HELGA AND THE JAHOVAHS: I don't know why Helga doesn't post these himself -- but here's another hilarious correspondence between Helga and a man who has some issues with our last newsletter.

    Helga,



    I take exception at your comments on Jehovah's Witnesses, Being one myself.



    I agree with the thing about the off the rack suits, but since our work is

    voluntary, and at our own expence, is it any wonder. We do the best we can.



    As for your personal gender crisis and the comment about the witnesses

    praying for your perishing soul. I am sorry but we do not judge others, only

    Jehovah can do that with any authority.



    But please take the time to read the Watchtower, as it offers the bibles

    view on many different matters.



    sincerly,

    Garry



    And Helga Responds:


    Dear Garry,



    I am surprised to see your note given Jehovah's disdain for the worldly.



    I do apologize for the clothing comment. It was just meant to fire you up.

    Our own workplace consists of youngsters whose grooming regimen consists of

    picking through a 4ft pile of clothing and smelling the least worn outfit

    before leaving the house with that ultra-hip can-you-spare-some-change look.

    Off-the-rack is an improvement over under-the-pile.



    Although you may not judge others, your comrades in faith certainly make it

    seem that way. Children are not to socialize outside of the Kingdom, and if

    one dares leave behind good 'ol Camp Russell? They are practically

    excommunicated by all those who knew them with the gentle euphemism:

    "disfellowshipped". Many Elders even discourage parents from socializing

    with their blemished children.



    Smells like judgment to me.



    And I have indeed read issues of The Watchtower and Awake! magazines after

    they were strategically discarded at public transportation terminals where

    they could be observed by the working class. Never had I an easier read. The

    Watchtower Society was kind enough to have already done all of my thinking

    for me! Can you honestly say that any article you have ever read or any

    elder with whom you have spoken EVER encouraged you to think critically

    about the content of your reading/conversation?



    Like Muslims, France and the State of Louisiana, you are compelled to live

    your life by complex codes that were handed down through generations by

    people who were never challenged but rather reprimanded for thinking

    critically.



    Love,



    Helga
