Room 215,
I was waiting for someone else to notice this and comment about it, but no one came forward.
I will come forward.
The WTS claims that ALL members are equal brothers, do they not? Do they practice what they claim? Well, let's just look at the picture. The fellas with the faces that are nearly twice as LARGE as the people below them are all GB members. They are not only shown with bigger images, they are on TOP of the picture. (A not-so-subtle indication about how they view themselves) The lowly R&F below them (including that poor and sad lady on the lower left of the image are ALL R&F dubs.) The R&F dubs are smaller in the graphic and carefully placed BELOW the WT Cult leaders. Subtle, but very carefully crafted by the Art department to let people know that despite what they say, all people are NOT equal in WatchtowerWorld(tm)>
Does the Watchtower Society worship itself and its leaders (including dead crackpots who killed thousands of people with his nonsense like Fred Franz, and more benign dead dubs like Ganges and Barr)? YES! They absolutely worship themselves and they can't even hide that fact with their collages in their magazines.
They are so full of themselves that they don't even have the discretion anymore to even TRY to hide it. The proof is in that very picture that forms the basis for this thread.

Funny how when looking at the photo it was obvious there was something wrong with the whole thing yet I just couldnt put my finger on it. Farkel you are bang on and thats a great observation, its clear now.
The Watchtower has always used images to get their message in the minds of individuals, I remember reading one of the publications that emphasised how pictures are powerful when getting the real message across to the reader. Just look who it is that is emphasised in that photo! The message is very clear as Farkel pointed out. Whatever happened to humilty! No doubt the 2nd largest photo's are missionaries to emphasise the importance of working for the men above them. Then there's all the little faceless people in the background who have no significance at all.
Geesh what a spooky disgusting photo. The subliminal message is glaring.

G'day Roomie,
Just catching up with the board and glad to read this post of yours (and everyone's comments, of course). Oh, and thanks for you "Get Well" wish too.
Looking over pages 260 and 261, it seems clear that the Writing Department are resorting to the very tactic that they on other occasions condemn i.e. to elevate themselves (the Borg), they denigrate others (Churches).
I was also found this statement curious: "Christendom, whose religious leaders today pray for God's blessing on their political friends and then promise a bright future." Does anyone know what that means?
In the next paragraph, the thrust is to make claim that "Jehovah is (only) bringing millions of foreigners to worship with the last ones of Israel (WTS)". This glibly overlooks the tremendous preaching and witnessing that is taking place globally by Christian missionaries of the many missionary societies.
They also state "They are convinced that salvation can come only from Jehovah God through Jesus Christ." How does this set the Dubs apart? Surely they must have heard of Christian teachings? Christians worldwide believe that very thing that they claim is the sole preserve of the Dubs.
They are easily led! The 'blind leading the blind"!
Cheers, Ozzie

the guy in the cream suit died a few years back he was a GB - he and his wife were in the concentration camp, they are both german --his wife name is Gertride or something like that and his last name is Potzenger
he is the guy who annouced the leo greenleaves had been kicked out of bethl-- ( ok I know i can't spell damnit- Smile)
but anyway-- i was sitting in lower dinner about 1 table over from the Head table that morning and he announced
"this is to inform the bethel family that leo greenleaves is no longer a member of the bethel family and THE MATTER IS CLOSED"
if any bethelites were there they will tell you when he made the concluding statement THE MATTER IS CLOSED you could hear a pin drop- breakfast that morning was hard to eat
after dissmisal and on the way to the factory it was very quiet no one talked it was a sad day
for we all knew that Satan had reached into the very santcuary of Jah and snatched one of his holy ones so it was clear to us that IF A MAN SOHIGH COULD FALL what chance could we in cleaning stand against the machinations of satan
during the day at work we all talked about the need to reafirm our faith to be solid as a rock
by the end of the day the rumors were all over that he got the boot for Homosexual stuff
if you ever met him he was kinda "Soft" to be honest about it but since he was a GB you would not let your mind even assume or think that a Homosexual was a GB- but looking back i realize that wt is like Time Life, just a publishing corp and like any corp in america there are those who are homosexual- and
WT is no better or worst, they just claim that they are better

The sad looking woman looks like she is thinking
"Oh God, if I drop my smile that catcus is going to go right up my butt"
If you look closely you can see the catcus in the artwork.

"That's right, darling, you keep smiling, I've got this catcus ready and I know how to use it dearier, my husband is an elder you know"
