I hardly think this is 'silly crap'
I have read the book 'Jehovah's Witnesses and the Hour of Darkness' which shows many good examples of Watchtower subliminal images, most of them are striking. Several Art and imaging experts have verified them.
If you have seen these images and think they are nothing more than coincidences than I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Otherwise I suggest you investigate those images first.
Those subliminal images do exist and were carefully put in the pictures so as not to be easily spotted. It wouldn't be subliminal otherwise.
for some examples check ot the Watchtower Observers site below:

I might not pay this much attention if it weren't for all the other lies and deception the WTS have committed.
Especially if you take into consideration their strange subliminal artwork they put in their publications throughout the years. Like the pentegram on the back of the chair in the Live Forever Book. Just creepy.

Points to think about:
1. Putting a Pagan Sun Disc Symbol on religous literature considered to be from 'God's only channel' is quite different than some car company using it.
2. The very fact that Russell even used Masonic symbols on his Watchtower suggest he had some affiliation. You don't just say 'Gee what art will I put on God's Literature today'. He had to think about it.
3. Russell preached figuratively using Masonry terms to appeal to Masons. Why, to join his organization.
4. Just because Russell may have wrote negatively of Masonry doesn't mean anything, especially considering the U.N. fiasco.

Hi Charles, I understand that. Notice Springmeier said the Egyptian disc symbol was 'similar' to the 33 degree Masonic Knights Templar logo.

Russell used the Egyptian Trinity Winged Sun-Disk on his books and tracts. This use of the Sun-Disk is similar to 33 degree Masonic Knights Templar logo. The Winged Sun Disc from Egyptian mythology
which appeared on early JW literature. (Springmeier p. 111-115)

Russell was a freemason. It has been recorded in his own material, his admittance to being a Freemason." I am very glad to have this particular opportunity of saying a word about some of the things in which we agree with our Masonic friends, because we are speaking in a building dedicated to Masonry, and we also are Masons. I am a Freemason." Charles Taze Russell. (The Temple of God-Pastor Russell page 120)
No Jesus was the foundation stone; there were no stones chiseled out before he came; none could be accepted before that. He did the great work of founding this great order to which we belong, the order of free and Accepted Masonry. (The Temple of God-Pastor Russell page 121)
You know that in these orders of Masonry, as they progress from one step to another; they learn more and more, and there are Masons in the thirty-second degree that know a great many things that Masons on the fourteenth or sixteenth plane that would not know. (The Temple of God-Pastor Russell page 123)
Albert Pike addressing the 23 Supreme Councils of the world on July 14, 1889:- "To you, Sovereign Grand Instructors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees: 'the Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the LUCIFERIAN Doctrine. . ."
Mat 21:42] Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the scriptures: 'The stone that the builders (aka Freemasons) rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes'?
[Mat 21:43] Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit.
A thousand years during which these Knights Templars are to scatter blessings to all the families of the Earth. We may not wear our white feathers now but we will all have white raiment by and by. "They shall walk with Him in white for they are worthy." Now the question arises, How can we become members of this order? Would you like to become one of these Knights Templar on a heavenly plane. (The Temple of God-Pastor Russell page 122)
"The symbol of Baphomet was used by the Knights Templar to represent Satan. The Baphomet represents the powers of darkness combined with the regenerative fertility of the goat. In its 'pure' form, the pentagram is shown encompassing the figure of a man in the five points of the star -- three points up, two pointing down symbolizing man's spiritual nature." ["Temple of Satan",

had a few spare moments so i called wts in nyc.
a pleasant woman who asked if i was the press, answered the phone and directed me to someone else, who then directed me to someone else, who finally put me in touch with someone who identified himself as patterson.. i explained that i had read the article in the guardian newspaper and i was concerned about the article.
he asked if i was a jw and i said no, my parents and grandmother are.. i then asked him what the response was.
They are looking into the matter...
What's there to look into? They knew exactly what they were doing.
They're acting like they didn't realize it for ten years. Give me a break.
They're just stalling hoping the issue dies down, and their drones will eventually forget about it.
