I am actually glad to see this sort of garbage the org encourages!
With the changes in SOOOOO many teachings, and the blatant "distract and divert" tactics of gimmiks like this, it makes it so much clearer that this is NOT god's organization....
Can anyone say "cult"?
They have come out in print with a different stance on "symbols" since? - cappytan
No of course not - they would never risk being accused of idolatry.
But.....With all this fanfare over jw.org pins and such - their silence speaks volumes!

You said it.
I'd have thought the GB'd balk at this at least, but damn...
If the Org had gained the copyright of the magical JAY UU. ORG logo, they'd be suing everybody for "abuse" of their intellectual property.
Then they'd market their own JAY UU. ORG merchandise - big time!
I had a chance to make nice with an old "conditional friend" yesterday.
It went quite well actually, had to bite my tongue a bit, but all in all it was a warm smiley conversation. Well .... until I blurted out that those blue things nailed on the kh fence really smacked of idolatry! Don't they?
Oh boy, the freezing cold that blew in between us just made me button up my winter coat and get out of there!

A more recent quote:
*** km 4/09 p. 4 Question Box ***
"Congregations
or individuals should not use logos or names of the organization’s legal
entities, or variations thereof, on their Kingdom Halls, signs, letterhead,
personal objects, and so forth...
The
Watch Tower logo, or a variation of it, should not be used in future Kingdom
Hall projects even if the Kingdom Hall is owned by a Watch Tower entity."

I was trying to find the complete quote from that KM. I found it on Facebook. A JW trying to inform others using that KM how JW dot Org merchandise is inappropriate. He was met with resistance. Interesting.

Glitchy, That's an interesting Facebook thread.
It's very notable that the majority of posters cannot compose a coherent sentence that isn't also filled with multiple spelling errors. So much for "Divine Education!"
