Random,
Derek submitted some of the WT publications artwork to experts to analyze with regard to subliminal or hidden image content. He also spent some cash to research the subject, along with symbology, etc., and found what appeared to be satanic references in the literature along with a bunch of other crap the WTBTS has denounced as satanic, demonic, etc, yet it was all there in our Christian publications dispensed by the faithful and disc. slave, and he presented his findings to the WTBTS and asked, "sup", to which they said, "how dare you!"
Derek was df'd for apostasy, and the committee sat his whole clan down to ask them to denounce Derek, to which they responded, "um . . . no". The entire family was then put out and denounced as apostate. Derek took all of his research and wrote a book called, "The Hour Of Darkness" about the whole subliminal images in the WT thing, (I have not read it yet).
Derek, and his entire family, were really good folks. Loyal, dedicated, and about as faithful as any JW's I have ever known. It took alot for the boy to come out strong with his research and confront the Society, and for that, he has my respect and admiration. I miss him.
