Your Honest Thoughts - Subliminal Art or Mind in need of Occupation? (page 2)

eclipse,

I think the artists are just playing with the R&F JW to see if they actually see all the ''spiritistic'', ''demonic'' drawings hidden in the society's publications.

More than likely they are just Godawful artists.

LOL! Ok, this isn't subliminal. It is a hand in the shadow of "Jebus". This is a great example of the problems in the art dept at Patterson. They are mediocre, volunteer painters and artists. They are asked to do hundreds of drawings each month. They are cataloged, and the Writing Dept gives final approval after looking at several pics and drawings for the publications, whether its the magazines or new books......

I have been outspoken that subliminal art does not exist in the WT because among other things, they aren't that good at it! They are just like any other bethelite, they get to go home at 4:45 and rest or go to meetings. They are treated like cattle, often times their work isn't respected. The people who make the final approvals aren't artists at all. The GB pick the pics with the greatest emotional impact. That isn't a secret at all.

This example is just a bad drawing of a fictional charecter.

I see the creepy hand and if you know any artists you would know it is put there quite intentionally. The artist does not do 'ghosting' very well. My question is - what the heck is the pictures of? why all the beards? what are they fighting? and lastly, do I really want to know?

Am I seeing things or has the central character got big fangs? His eyes also look a bit demonic. You sure it's not doctored?

There has been discussion on this before because there are TONS of pictures with wierd hidden stuff in them in the Watchtower publications.

I think its artists who are "playing around" by putting these things in the paintings. It must be. I don't think they are designed to affect the mind of the viewer though.

I would like to see a scan from a legit JWD member who has a Revelation book. It might be doctored...

Edited to add: KW 13 is obviously legit. I meant anyone with a Rev book here on JWD, as opposed to findng this on the internet. Peace!

Actually, I think the art department has the best interests of the flock in mind. Especially the kids. That was the only way I was able to sit through the studies...by looking at the pictures and finding scary faces, ect. It is weird though that I never thought it was intentional when I saw them.....I just thought I had a good imagination. However, the affect the pictures had on me was just a little more fear of the end. Maybe that is their point....reminders of the "wicked world" we currently live in.

I don't see any demon hands, but I see a bunch of supposedly immortal beings with beards---- so why can't a JW have a beard?

In my - honest - opinion, it isn't subliminal art. The "ghost hand" is clearly meant to be the left hand of the guy standing (to our left) behind "Jesus". It has mist covering it, like the feet of "Jesus" have. And it's not perfectly drawn, or at least has a weird look to it. "Jesus"'s "claw" is because we're only seeing his index finger and thumb from this view, but of course that too could've been drawn better.

Yeah can anyone provide a scan, i saw the demonic hand in the actual revelation book but the other things that have been picked on i didnt see from what i can remember the picture looked like.
