Food at the proper time, Awake 9/22/2001
by Stealth into be successful in marketing one must know how to reach their target audience.. to this reader, this marketing technique comes through very clear in the september 22, 2001 awake magazine, where on the front cover is a picture of a woman working in the rice fields, with a great look of despair on her face.
the caption: can we grow enough food?.
the first three articles in this issue of the awake can certainly strike fear into the reader with bold print subheadings, thought provoking questions and quotations from experts on this problem.

Just one day in the life of a 14 year old boy
by Stealth init was just one single day in the life a 14 year old boy, yet i can remember it just as if it was yesterday.. i had started working my very first part-time job attending gasoline pumps at a small service station.
i began this day with much anticipation, yet at the time not realizing that this one single day would prove to make such a lasting impression on my memory.
as i pumped gas for customers (remember when they did that), from my outdoor one room shack about the mid part of the day i noticed the sky began to darken.

British And American Intercourse.
by Englishman inok, america, this is it.
you have got to start learning english english at some point or another, after all, us brits are having to learn american english to be able to understand all those films (movies) about how you saved our arses (butts) during the 1939 -1945 (1941 - 1945) war.. now we all know the obvious ones, such as you calling a car bonnet the hood, the boot is the trunk and a spanner being a wrench etc etc.
plus the fact that you eat fries instead of chips and spread mayo instead of butter.

Questions for JWs
by larc indear jw,.
i have some questions.
as i understand it, if armageddon came tomorrow, those that never heard the truth, in such places as india or china would either live through armageddon or die and be resurrected.

Newbie in the house
by Stealth ini have been lurking for a few months now.
the only reason that i have not posted until now is because of the paranoia that comes with being raised a jw.

Should you write to the society?
by sleepy inwhen someone comes across something in the "truth" that disterbs them should they write to the society or is this pointless?.
i think they should write for several reasons.. 1.you must give them at least a chance to present their side of the story.it is no good just relying for others for your information you can not be shure what the society really belive until you hear it from them yourself.. wasn't just relying on the judgement of others part of what got you in in the first place.. its good for us to try and advance in our way of thinking during life and part of this involves doing our own research which is not complete until we go to the source of our conflict.. also if you bring up the point with someone it gives more weight to your argument if mention you wrote to the society and this was their answer.. 2. the more poeple that write in with the same points the more difficult it will be for them to hold to an erroneous stand.. the more different people that write the more ways of expresing the point will be heared different ways will make sence to different people.. remember its not just the same person answering all letters but different people who will have to do research an answer your point, which could make them think.. (this assumes that the society is genuinely mistaken and not corupt, although it could be a bit of both).
of cource if you do not want hassle off your elders dont tell the society you are a brother/sister or just give a different name ,prehaps you could give the address of your place of work or somewhere else if you don't want to be traced easily.. in my case i just made it sound like i was an intrested person.. or you could make out that you need some help in presenting the societies case to an intrested person who has quetions.
