my mother-in-law has a strange obsession with calendars, and orders the society's calendar each year.
this year's calendar is especially weird.
it features images depicting future events - in particular, the society's vision of the new world order.. i've taken the opportunity to scan some of the images for you all to check out.. please note - there are captions for each of the images, but i don't have the english language version of the calendar so i'd rather just quote the scripture used so as not to reveal which country i'm in.. .
snare&racket: They are promising the earth,in exchange for your time and money
They make promises that they cannot keep. In the real world that's known as fraud. Why is it different with religion?
It should be a illegal, because it's most certainly criminal!

you know the typicial big postcards that we floridians like to send to folks up north in the winter- palm trees, beaches, girls in bikinis--.
i haven't talked to these two brothers since when i left the kh (in 1988).
i just wanted them to know i turned out better than fine, with a nice retirement and a new family.
Weather is here. Wish you were beautiful!
i recently finished reading animal farm, written by george orwell.
as someone who has recently awoken to the truth about the truth, this book blew my mind.
the parallels with the watchtower society are quite astounding.
Interestingly, there are JW students at the school where I teach. Animal Farm is on the "must read" list. Most read it by 10th or 11th grade. I wonder if any of the young JWs get the comparison.
Probably not, and of course it would be inappropriate for me to explicitly ask. But it IS interesting to consider.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Don't take our hardhats ways! NNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooo!
for those of you who used to be jws, or who are active, if the society was in charge of the earth, how many people do you think you would have seen stoned during your lifetimes?
i realize some elders can be zealous about their work, but if they'd actually had administrative authority to have kh members stoned to death, how many elders did you know who would have been zealous enough to really order them?.
did you know any elders who would have ordered stonings, even if the condemned people had been willing to repent?.
Thank you Blondie!

The "moon" was a hole punch? Silly me!
Well that explains that.
It still doesn't explain the impossible rice-paddy terracing.

Cedars,
Hey wait a minute!!!!
The moon is missing from the March/April and May/June pics in the English version!!!
Someone must've pointed out that the way the moon was depicted in those versions was physically impossible.
Can you respost them please with a caption of something like: Calendar pics from [undisclosed location somewhere on earth where the Sun and Moon defy the laws of physics]:
Thanks,

Cedars,
You're welcome.
When you say "improved" I'm guessing you just mean sharper/higher pixel definition. The artwork still sucks!

Astronomical Anomaly:
I shouldn't be surprised considering the lack of education among JWs, but the shadows in the May/June Picture are all wrong. The only way the moon can be in near full phase is when it's opposite the sun in relation to the earth. With the moon near the horizon as it is in this drawing, the sun would need to be behind the artist/viewer. That would mean the shadows would be cast in the opposite direction they appear in this drawing.
I guess reality is not really a consideration in these "artist's conceptions."
My mind's made up, don't confuse me with the facts!
