Along with the invisible presence of Christ, they invisibly try to exert an influence on me. Guys, I'm still waiting...

If you were to ask each of them, they would have said Armageddon was just around the corner, and would happen in their lifetime. Many thought it would happen within the next year of when this picture was taken. Sadly, they're all dead now. At least I would say its safe to assume.
BTW: Celebrating Christmas just 8 years after being inspected by Jesus and being found worthy, just seems odd, doesn't it?

Yes it does. This photo should be available in Christmas cards to send to JW family members. LOL

Apog is correct: The universal behaviour of smiling for photos is very much a "product" of more recent decades. The inscrutable facial expressions on "official" photos for serious publications ( in contrast to the wordly frivolity of "Hollywood's" beaming dials) was very much the prevailing norm.
Besides, it also served a practical purpose: Camera shutters required longer exposure times and smiles were captured as blurs because the face moves. With improving technology, and Hollywood's tentacles stealthily wrapping around the adoring pre-World War Two modern world, smiling was not only permissible but in some quarters, a requirement. Even the Watchtower succumbed decades ago to this worldly tooth-infested frivolity. If you're happy, prove it with a Colgate smile - or your "serious-minded" faith will be in doubt. Why the stern look, Brother? You trying to scare the masses?
God, even the governing body smile in their Sunday best - proving that smiling is infectious in the worst sense of the word. Give me Chuck Russell's frowning brow any day or Rutherford's stiff sneer. At least we were spared the teeth.

Fact: Everyone in that room is long dead.
And not one of them is looking down from heaven saying "well done faithful and good slave" for one of two reasons, or maybe three.
1. Their is no life in any form after death , spiritual or otherwise.
2. If their is some form of "thought" after death everything we ever thought we knew turns out to be false.
3. The third option is for you to come up with if your so inclined ( maybe on a new thread)
