Thanks much for your thoughts and questions.
Re "shaken but never stirred," unbridled and unapologetic poetic license! I appreciated Perry's scriptural reminders of what I once firmly believed and felt. Yes, deliberate stair-step formatting (had to choose my words accordingly).
Best Wishes and sweet dreams!

Thank you so very much for what you have shared, allowing my captive self to see beyond -- yet, within -- the confines of the bedarkened night whence I slowly emerge, shaken but never stirred.

An awakening cold, black dream where sights and
Feelings burn deep into a fragile soul a garish branding
That strikes terror for an eternity of restless days and nights.

I probably knew who he was on sight, but the name is not ringing a bell -- at the moment. I certainly know the story you refer to, however.
THANKS!

Compound Where else have I seen that picture it is so familiar. Not on a calendar wasn't around in those days CC
The thought I recall -- legit or not -- was the woman descending into the water was supposedly Damaris; the man baptized, Dionysius; the baptizer, the Apostle Paul.
The image very well could have been used in any one, or several, of the publications. I believe the calendar is circa '70/'71, remembering back to when I worked in the hand bindery.
Damaris was a convert of Paul; the hill in the background is Mars Hill.
up until i left recently i was participating in the cart work.
in the location where we used to set up near our local mall we never had one person stop and take literature or stop and chat - other than fellow brothers.
i thought maybe it was just a bad location or something.
When out in the ministry, decades ago, and we had no apparent success, we comforted ourselves with "At least we got to say Jehovah's name!"
We just knew that someday those uncooperative householders would finally have that "Aha!" moment. Of course, by then it was too late.

Did you come across Alan Boyle, in the Art department?
I was in Brokklyn, late '60s/early '70s and was not in the Art Dept., per se, although I applied. The name, Alan Boyle, is not familiar to me, but it never hurts to ask!
THANKS!

Thanks, Phizzy and kpop, for your replies. I can relate.
I have the actual calendar pictures of both the above and that of the Christians fleeing Jerusalem. If memory serves, the artist was Sister Mann, and the original oils were on display at Brooklyn Bethel.
My job was quality control. Often, the images were "off register," i.e., the three colors and black were misaligned and the picture was distorted.
Those were tossed . . .
