This one is for JT, who is interested in body modification (LOL)
I will be the first to admit a rabid fascination with a certain picture......
Back when I was about 7, I stumbled across the most fascinating picture in all of Dubdom......
Are you holding your breath?!?!?
It was in the Evolution or Creation book....the picture of the black, African tribal woman with that HUGE freakin plate in her lip!
I must've looked at that thing a hundred times!
Surely, you too had a favorite picture?!?!

I always liked that one from a WT of the 70s where all the people are being bombarded, collapsing, dying, beneath a rain of Red arrows labelled "Apostacy, fornication,drug use"...etc.
Very graphic image.
I also never forgot one I saw in a book where there are about 6 weeping, supplicating women holding screaming babies squatted on a rocky hill with the flood waters rising and rising, while their cold hearted angelic husbands leave their flesh bodies and flesh families behind. Spooky picture.
This afternoons Watchtower study has been cancelled!
I can't claim credit for this one - thank Englishman!!

I liked the one, I think it may have been from the Live Forever book, that showed a couple looking happy and harmonious at their religious service, but screaming at each other when they came home. Typical JW marriage! (Or am I exaggerating?? C'mon-- not really!)
GopherWhy shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense.

Some time back there was a picture of a woman throwing some mail in the trash, captioned with a message about not reading anything you get from apostates. The expression on the woman's face looks like she opened her mail and found a dog turd in in it.
I always like to look at the picture from the "You Can Live Forever in Paradise" book. It showed some chick getting into spiritism. I fascinated me because it I wanted to know the story behind the gruesome picture. To me, it had all the makings of a good scary movie. I also loved the drawings of Babylon. She looked like some crazy prostitute. It was fascinating.
I can't think of one for myself, but my son just loved the picture of Jezebel in the Bible Stories book. you know, the one where Jehu is telling her servants to throw her out the window.
Nice bedtime reading, huh? Sheeesh.

Everybody knows this one. You know, the one on page 131 of the Live Forever book of the two shirtless guys wearing scarves, one's holding a cowboy hat, and one's kissing the other. I doubt anyone in the organization would paint such a picture of homosexuality (one that doies not accurately depict the norm) without having some firsthand experience. As a kid struggling with my own sexuality I was amazed that the society would paint such a lurid picture of what two guys do when they're attracted to each other, along with a picture of some guy smoking opium.
It has to be this one:
Notice the strict dress code the WT has for mountain hikers.

How do you get pitcures to transfer here? I keep trying but can't figure it out.
Anyway my favs were always the drawings of the wild beast with the harlot riding it and the glass of blood spilling out all over the place. Also the one of the goat with the discusting thing comming out of it's mouth.
The ones that really captured my attention were the one's with people in cemetaries rejoicing because they were picking up all thier dead relitives who were popping up out of their graves. I use to wonder about all the relitives who were buried somewhere else. That would suck. You come back to life and there's no one at the cemetary to meet you.
