  I don't get the old man and the guy on the right on the couch squished next to the old guy. What has that got to do with contentment? The old guy just looks a little tired or blue but why is the younger guy next to him giving him a funny look? Cuz he's sitting a bit too close?

  The woman in the middle looks spaced out. And how can she have that ridiculous, phoney smile with those tired,grizzly kids next to her? Why not offer to help that stressed woman or that old guy instead of sitting their with a look on your face like you just sharted and are afraid to stand up?Very creepy.

  The cover actually conveys the truth that the JW answer to being contented is to live in an artificial bubble world and ignore all the suffering and wordly people around you. Just focus on the new system and never forget, Armageddon is just around the corner.

  I don't know what that cover even means.

  It means Jehovah's Witnesses are not angry, they are not overworked, they are not depressed, they are not uncomfortable, they do not have very young children who behave badly age appropriately and they dont have James Dean attitudes.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are happy and calm and at peace...at all times.

  Now put on a happy face, dang it!

  No one in this picture is content except the woman in the middle, so she must be a happy JW and everyone else in the picture is a dissatisfied worldly.

  But it seems to me that this sister is setting a very BAD example.

  Why so?

  -- She isn't at a meeting at her KH

  -- She isn't out in field service

  -- She's wearing a pantsuit instead of a skirt, which is very untheocratic

  -- She's wearing a gaudy necklace which looks very worldly

  -- She's sitting on a couch with worldly men

  -- She doesn't have a Watchtower publication in her hand, nor do any of the worldlies around her

  -- She doesn't have a book bag by her feet or next to her on the couch

  -- She doesn't have another contented JW with her to help her witness

  -- She isn't preaching to the worldlies around her about the kingdom, so she can't be counting her time

  So why is this sister content???

  The young man is an elder's son, recently made a ministerial servant, living a "double life."

  The woman with the papers is harried because she is a married pioneer that has to rush after work to start service, has a meeting that night, and has to take home work to finish because, well, she is a pioneer, has to rush after work to start service, and has meetings.

  The guy with the phone just found out he is being "downsized" and has no retirement saved up and no prospects for a job at his age.

  The poor woman with the kids has an unbelieving husband that doesn't attend and has just been told by the elders that she should "control her children" at the Kdom hall.

  The old man on the couch has just been removed as an elder after sixty years because he has a slight case of Alzheimer's and is "no longer needed."

  The man next to the old man is his son who was "reaching out" but is now saddled with the care of his father, now a burdon keeping him from his sought after position of authority in the congregation.

  The young woman in the middle is an unmarried pioneer that lives at home, has no job, no education, and no clue.

  The sister in the middle has a big, beaming smile - unlike the other poor wretches - because she has discovered bliss derived from ingesting Lexapro, as prescribed by her doctor. It makes her oblivious to the narrow, sterile way of life she endures as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

  All she has to worry about now is coming up with the $50 per month for the prescription. Life is good.
