DD: Alright, I'm crazy and see a goat where there isn't one.
You may be crazy, I don't know. But seeing things that aren't there is in fact a very human thing. It is not necessarily an indicator of mental illness. It's just being human.
DD: Are you saying that hidden images do not exist in advertising?
To whom are you intending this question. You didn't specify.
I certainly never said that, nor did I imply it, not even subliminally.
DD: Do you really believe those types of pictures do not exist? What kind of proof do you want?
Personally, I do believe adverstisers and other unscrupulous people use and have used subliminal messages. It would actually be surprising for them to NOT take advantage of what is known about human psychology in order to manipulate people, particularly for a profit motive.
But the fact that others have done this, or even that the WTBTS has done this, in the past, does not prove that the goathead you see in this picture was placed their intentionally.
The very notion of "subliminal" is tricky. If it's too obvious, then in fails; if it's too subtle, then the effect is lost. Either way, it would have to be intentionally placed. You can't know that, so by definition your OP is mere conjecture.
I have to agree with Apognophos on this one. The fact that many of us did not see what you did, and then when you said you saw a "goat," yet others saw even that differently, tends to suggest that this is not in fact an example of a deliberately placed subliminal message.
I think a very important lesson that all of us that were "captives of the concept" of JW indoctrination have to learn is this: Differentiate between what we can know and what we think we know. Also, learn to distinguish between what a thing is and what we think it means.
