No, Carlo, that's not sexual porn.
But as Focus says, there's plenty of spiritual porn in WTS literature.

LOL Carlos,
Even old Aunt Bessie wouldn't try that hard to see a penis in a picture! Good for a chuckle though. Been a boring day, eh?

What is the definition of "porn"? If you had a magazine that showed the drawing of a topless woman, would that be enough? If so, the WT has had porn. As was stated, they used to draw Eve topless. Without a convenient plant in the way...

Hey,
I don't know if this could be seen as "porn", but have a look at page 94 of their little red book called "You can live forever in paradise on earth". See the spirit in the background flying up toward the sky?
(The one in the foreground looking down is obviously male)
Do you see the spirit's...erm...breast?I don't go looking for porn in their pics, but this one kinda jumped out at me a few months ago. I just wrote it off with a shrug. I still do.
In Him,

What you see is what you want to see. There is not any porn or subliminal images in the watchtower publications. I have seen the book on the JW subliminal art and the allegations are completely untrue and is simply a pissed of exJW trying to make an issue out of something that does not exist.
I spent many years as a professional illustrator and and graphic designer and have worked with and did some teaching with the art department at Bethel. It is true that they take photos of the Bethel members to use as reference material in their illustrations in the same way most professional illustrators do including myself. There are some very talents artist in the JW art department and there are also some not so talented artist.
There is one artist who is very talented in the department that did a lot of oil paintings and used himself as the reference material many times in the same painting. His original paintings are beautiful but seeing his image all over the place makes them extremely entertaining. He asked me several times if I thought he was good enough to make a living with his art if he left Bethel, I told him he was and I believe he eventually left.
Since the elders running both the art and photography departments are not what I would consider real professionals at their jobs it is easy for low quality illustrations to end up in the publications. Folds in clothing and poorly illustrated sections of art are pretty much normal when untrained and amateurish artist try and paint certain subject matter. Anyone can read anything into poorly rendered art, but that doesn't mean why they think they see is intentional.
As Alan says, there is enough real bullshit going on in the JW organization you do not need to try and make stuff up to make them look bad. When you do, it just makes their case about us all being lying apostates trying to make them look bad a little stronger.
I hope this helps.
