I'm sure the WT gets their cut from all sales. They are in desperate financial need you know.

Question Box
? Is it appropriate for congregations or individuals to use the logos of legal corporations used by Jehovah’s Witnesses?
A logo is a name, symbol, or trademark designed for easy and definite recognition. The Watch Tower logo is representative of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania and other corporations used by the organization. The Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses uses an open Bible in its letterhead. Other corporations used by Jehovah’s Witnesses have different logos.
Congregations or individuals should not use logos or names of the organization’s legal entities, or variations thereof, on their Kingdom Halls, signs, letterhead, personal objects, and so forth. Such use of the organization’s logos may cause confusion for public officials, publishers, and others about the legal affiliation of the congregation with the organization’s legal entities. Similarly, written correspondence could be misinterpreted as being approved or sent from the world headquarters or the branch office.
The Watch Tower logo, or a variation of it, should not be used in future Kingdom Hall projects even if the Kingdom Hall is owned by a Watch Tower entity. Congregations with existing Kingdom Halls that bear a logo are not required to make immediate changes to signs or designs, since such changes may involve major alterations and much time, effort, and expense. However, consideration should be given to making a change if it would be minor and would not require extensive work. Otherwise it can be made when the building or sign is scheduled for renovation.

Hm, my old KH had a huge stylized watchtower (the building, not the magazine) above the entrance. It won't be minor at all to alter. I wonder how long will it last there...

It's occured to me for a while now, that as the WT may need to get revenue from alternative sources, they may bring out a range of ''appropriate'' clothes (only available from the Org, of course) - which will be marketed as both 'modest' and as identifying JWs as 'separate' from World. And, Farkel, I'm sure they'll 'Bible-base' it, lol.

I think, now that people have spent good money on these items, they are starting to frown on continued wearing of them. I don't think it's yet an absolute ban, but they are frowning on it now.
Yes, I do believe the idolatry in the washtowel is getting more blatant. When I was in, they pretended to be worshiping God through Jesus, when in fact they were worshiping the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger (a fraud). Now, they are more blatant in worshiping the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger, even going so far as requiring witlesses to believe and teach bad doctrines from the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger until they themselves fix them.

Actually Teel, a few years ago, the Watchtower sent a letter to all congregations telling them that they were to remove any logos on the building that are representative of the WtBTS.
