And to be fair, they have been using the name since before Atwood did.
This song is what Gilead brings to mind for me:

Religion and real estate, man. If there were ever loopholes that need to be closed. Between the LDS building their enormous Mormon City in Florida, to the JWs, to Kiryas Joel to the Ark museum in Kentucky (I
'm sure they’ll turn it into a municipality when and if they can). Secular/non-fundamentalist leftists can win national elections, but if local and state purses (educational funds in particular) end up starved and/or controlled by active concentrations of fundies, shit gets real medieval, real fast.
This was all the press I could find, and it’s pretty outdated, but does say they managed to wrangle that the JWs would have to pay taxes on their hotel. I wonder if that concession has held up.

Those graham crackers were delicious, but I still feel strangely aroused.

the cuts in this strange Jehovah Witness anti-masturbation training video are apparently real…
No. No they are not. This has very obviously been edited for irony. The original was probably pretty dull, even if you’re giggling about the “M” word.

Yeah, that’s definitely fake. Weird editing cuts and porn music are the giveaway.

There were people watching Handmaid and muttering, “Yes. Oh God, YES!!!” And this is them, y’know. That amputation thing was kinda tough to watch for most of us, did not see that coming. But no prob for these guys, I bet, cause the other hand just ain’t the same, and you saw what they did to Ofglen. It’s THE BREEDING ACT, ppl.

Gilead is a place in the book of Genesis (I think it’s the place the prodigal son leaves and then comes back to? Or something). I mean, Margaret Atwood may have been thinking of JWs when she used the name, but I doubt they got the idea from her.
