  Thanks stuckinarut2 this ones a keeper for sure. I already had this bookmarked but forgot all about it, thanks for the reminder. It would be good to show this to a JW under the pretext of bashing another religion, then watch the CD kick in . . .

  I don't know, I'm just throwing this out there to see if anybody remembers seeing her or a painting of her used in a WTS publication. I'm pretty sure I do.

  Hmmm I dunno, it sounds suspicious.

  "The Bible and the Divine Name" is the name of the exhibit at Bethel and "Jehovah's organization behind the name" sounds oddly like the 1990 video.

  Who knows, could be.

  More similarities with North Korea

  other posts have mentioned the similarities between jws and n. korea with regards to uniformity of dress and grooming, backlash for criticism and being hard to escape.

  just thought i'd add a couple more, thanks to quotes from david mikkelson and john delury, a n. korea analyst at yonsei university in seoul, s. korea:.

  north korea is notorious for a lack of transparency.

  Yes they do. I guess that falls under "backlash for criticism".

  Another similarity I can think of is gushing about themselves. Positivity ad nauseum, with little if any objectivity.

  The regime is incredibly image-conscious. It choreographs everything, especially when it comes to the leader.

  The OPI (Office of Public Infprmation) is used all the time on jw.org articles as quotes from 'representatives' of the organization on the style of a press release.

  And, yes, it was David Semonian who was quoted in the Prince press release, made in response to a direct inquiry.

  If these pictures aren't "brazen", (to borrow one of their pet words), I don't know what is. The disgusting nature of these images just shows their arrogant attitude and the contempt with which they viewed others, starting in the time of Rutherford.

  I don't know. Maybe she was rejected for baptism due to mental instability so took things into her own hands 😜 (just theorizing)
