  It's not unusual for photos at travel sites and tourist advertisements to be cropped and tweeked with stuff like street signs and graffiti left out etc etc. No surprise if WT uses same techniques to maximize the fairytale witness life effect.

  I get the watchtower logo being displayed on an external wall somewhere as a nod to the magazine that made them recognizable but why do they need a literal watchtower, what use would it serve?

  I'd say it goes toward them keeping their charity = tax exempt status.

  Quite sickening really that they teach people how to shun family, refuse blood, be homophobic, sexist and be a walking talking billboard for their cult and WT benefits.

  It's those eyes, with that cold stare, this guy could play a creepy serial killer or Bond villain that tortures his victims by reading them WT publications.
