some older former bethelites may remember these folks from the cover of a 1984 watchtower:.
this was published during a time while the watchtower society was waging war against the "apostasy" that had started in 1980. one of the issues at stake was the year 1914. these older bethelites were photographed to give tangible proof that the "generation of 1914" would not pass away.
now, nearly 27 years later, they likely have all passed away (along with that generation).. there is a listing of some of the names of these bethelites up at a blog article at this link:.

who determines what issues to address in the watchtower and awake?
i don't mean the actual writing.
which topics get lead articles?
Actually, when I wrote my articles for Erbrechet! and The Witchtower, I sometimes accidentally mistypes the year (e. g. opened the May 15, 1985 issue instead of May 15, 1986). I had several cases where this happened, and I found an article about the exactly same topic as in the "correct" year. So, they seem to have some yearly schedule.
does anyone with phostoshop skillz care to amend this photo to make it more accurate?
25% of these dudes are dead already..... .
The GB members that passed away are not dead. They are in heaven, drinking wine with Jesus and still participating in governing the Watchtower organization. So the photo is still correct.

does this mean the witchtower magazine will go to Bi monthly?
No. Actually I'm not planning to create ANY regular issues. I simply don't have the time to create a complete 16-page magazine in two languages every month. I did it for 3 years now (2 years for English), that is enough.
Whenever I'm in the mood to do so, I might publish single articles in a new blog, http://www.svhelden.info/erbrechet (German) and http://www.svhelden.info/witchtower (English). The blogs are not set up yet though. If there are enough of such articles, I might also compile them into a PDF magazine.
Also, I might publish some other brochures or tracts =) ... There is still an article series "Pay Attention to the Brothers Grimm's prophecy!", explaining the Grimms' fairytales as prophecies. If there is interest, I might at some point translate these into a brochure.

Since January 2009, sincere people found comfort in the articles in the magazine The Witchtower. From then on, 24 issues were published, covering current topics, important Biblical prophecies and live-giving truths.
However, the present issue will be the last monthly one. Jesus foresaw this development. He referred to it when he said: “See that you are not terri-fied. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet. “ (Matthew 24:6) Accordingly the Witchtower editor will continue to provide timely spiritual food, to be found here:

i have not been able to find any photo's of satan the devil in the watchtower.
there are photo's of the serpent with eve, satan's hand offering kingdoms to jesus and a shadowy cloaked figure speaking to jesus on the mountain.
apart from that i cannot locate any of a proper looking devil.
In older publications there also were pictures of the devil:

on saturday, 35 jehovah's witnesses gathered in their kingdom hall near frankfurt and sat over coffee and cake (for whatever reason, maybe pioneer school or some other event).
suddenly a 20-year-old man (according to most sources "not a jw yet, but wanted to become one"; though one source claims that he would have been an auxiliary pioneer) took a knife from the cake buffet and killed a 45-year-old bethelite (maybe a circuit overseer).. today the murderer was killed by a train - supposedly suicide.. .

Do you have a link for this story?
Just found an English one and added it to the opening post.
