Things never seen in WTC illustrations:
1. A leg of lamb being slow cooked
2. A wedding scene
3. Teenagers holding hands (or being counseled for unclean conduct)
4. An organized sports event
5. A good looking girl in a 2-piece
6. Public execution of someone who disagreed with WTC
What I take away is that everything in the pictures from comfortable modern housing and technology to the large, delicious cultivar varieties of fruit and vegetables are due to the hard work, schooling and ingenuity of "worldly" people. According to a literalist reading of Genesis, Yahweh left them to fend for themselves in a cursed land, wearing animal skins and sweaty brows.
Not only that. When humanity got together and began to build the tower of Babel, Jehovah expressed concern at their ambition and potential. Fearing that nothing might be out of their reach, he confused their languages and scattered them. Thus, humanity was doomed to centuries of conflict, just as they were showing what they could do when they were united.
That we have progressed as far as we have under such a devastating handicap is a testament to how awesome we are.
