    Eve and Her Daughters — What’s wrong with this picture?

    Today I loaded to my blog a new article that shows a set of illustrations from one publication by Watchtower that lead to a question.

    My article is titled Eve and Her Daughters — What’s wrong with this picture? and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/06/eve-and-her-daughters-whats-wrong-with.html

    Before viewing this article let me say that at the time this one particular book was one of the most studied by up-and-coming boys in Witness congregations the world over.

    Q: What's wrong with the final picture?

    A: Hats. Everyone's wearing hats.

    They're fully clothed. In theory the daughters of Eve in paradise Earth should be perfect and free from sin and so shouldn't be ashamed of their nakedness. It's daft really but I guess the WTBTS was pandering to 1940's culture. Naked = bad, fully clothed = wholesome, modest.

    In this one, it sure looks like Adam has a belly button. No mother, no umbilical cord, no belly button.

    Yes, I agree. I guess nakedness is not on the menu for 'paradise Earth'. The snake there looks more like an iguana. Snakes had torsos, legs, haunches, and paws in the Garden of Eden?

    So why are only the loin areas covered?

    In this one, it sure looks like Adam has a belly button.

    And yet Eve has no nipples.

    Has Adam got a Mullett in the picture above?
