Actually, I happen to read both Watchtower and Awake! magazines on a
regular basis. In matters of fact, they tend to be well researched, and
the writing is quite clear. In order to get value out of it, you must be
able to discern their point of view, and read with proper
discrimination. 

Similarly, when I read the 19th century material, I apply
discrimination for the language and points of view of the time, in order
to extract that which is of value.
