    Hey Leolaia!

    Tell me this. In this old Rutherford book "Enemies" page 192....WT depicts the "Harlot" as a cute cherub-like being. The breasts are exposed and appear pubscent and the limbs are chubby. The face is child-like.

    However, in later literature, WT illustrations depict the same "harlot" as being much older with a very "hardened" look....heavily made-up face and brazen posture.

    Why the change in the age depiction of the harlot?

    Thanks.

    Because the Armageddon clock is ticking. jws get all tingly when a new drawing of her comes out and she looks older than last time.

    In the next publication, I hear she is going to be wearing Depends and carrying her dentures in a jar.

    I don't know -- note that the heavenly Jesus was also drawn as especially youthful, as in the book Jehovah (1934). I think the depiction of the Harlot here looks somewhat andogynous and the face has features reminiscent of a young Moussolini, but that is just a guess.

    Museum in race to save whore of Babylon

    Although it is one of the world’s most important Babylonian treasures, it has rarely been seen by the public apart from when it was loaned to the British Museum between 1980 and 1991 by the current owner, who has had it since 1974.

    Hans Burgkmair the Elder

    "The Whore of Babylon; sitting on the seven-headed beast, St John and the angel looking on from a cloud in top right corner.

    From a series of 21 woodcuts of the Apocalypse for Martin Luther's translation of the New Testament (Augsburg: S. Otmar, 1523). 1523 Woodcut"

    What makes you so sure that these symbols and stories have not permeated every culture from long ago?

    What makes you so sure they share a common source?

    Different cultures will have a slightly different spin on the same thing.

    This is not even near to being the same. Kali is death. She is Time and Change, which take us all. This is nothing to do with the harlot of Babylon, which is a euphemism for Rome.

    The world is not to be expected to be totally uniform as the WT would have you believe.

    And it isn't, hence my assertion that Kali bears no relation to the Harlot, and that a similiarity in iconography is just that, a similarity and nothing more.
