  Visual Methodologies and Watchtower Illustrations

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been reading a fascinating book about various strategies for studying the meaning of images: visual methodologies by gillian rose.

  various approaches covered include compositional analysis, content analysis, psychoanalysis, semiology and discourse analysis.

  it struck me how ripe watchtower imagery would be to such scrutiny, and how subtle trends in ideological emphases may be identified through the visual iconography that may be less apparent in the overt expositions of watcthower written texts.

  by JH in

  2. friends

  back in 1991, a young brother maybe 18 years old living next to my place committed suicide.

  his father expected him to be very zealous just like he was, but the son never wanted to be like that.

  he was always controlled by his father.

  by GeddyLee in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  back in the late eighties i was on the committee to build our cities new double kingdom hall so that all five halls would be under one roof.

  we needed to come up with five hundred thousand dollars to complete the new hall, so we had a kingdom hall fund drive where the local brothers would raise the needed funds.

  after two years we had collected the half million dollars, and guess where that money went????????
