Inside Story Logo

this may have been covered before but have you noticed the logo design of the "inside story" on this months video the 143rd gilead graduation.

it appears as a pyramid containing the masonic symbol of the compass and square, with this reflected below the text.

the art pieces on the shelf are also interesting and maybe someone has some thoughts on these.

Punkofnice I don't know - that is a good question! A symbol would have no significance unless the viewers knew the meaning or could interpret it and I don't think that is what is intended for the JW viewer.
The format of the whole program is in my view strange. It is like a bad tv show and nothing like any other meeting item I have ever seen. I think most JW's would enjoy it and see it as fun and light entertainment / spiritually upbuilding and that is probably all it is?
However, I think that logos are quite meaningful pieces of art work that are not just cobbled together from stock art work or just appear on a page as some random doddle. It was put together with conscious thought and justification. It may be that the artist enjoyed pizza or quilt designs or a certain architectural style but that does not mean you use something for a TV set design or does it?
I appreciate your questions as it ensures that we don't get to conspiracy theory on these subjects and stay grounded.
Thank you

Thank you Hanged Man for your comments as you shared something very insightful.
I appreciate reading all the comments even the sarcastic ones from people who may have left the organisation but still have not left their sanctimonious know-it-all attitudes behind toward other peoples questions and comments. Maybe some people never learnt the true meaning of tolerance and compassion or could learn to accept a different viewpoint from their own?

Thanks for your thoughts. I would say that design does not just happen. Someone has put quite a bit of thought into this and it would have had to pass the GB selection panel. Whilst i don't for one minute suggest anything negative about freemasonry I do think that the use of a symbol closely related to the pyramid and masonic symbology by the Watchtower would be something strange; if this is the case. Or it may be just a boring design. I am not so sure.

UK C.O. Ted Wright has died

hi, new member here.

i used to be only on reddit some time ago.. i've received sad news that several months ago, a circuit overseer named ted wright died.

he was co for over 20 years, from the 80s to 2000s.
MrHappy

Ted was a kind man. He gave a pioneer talk about the divinity of Jesus as a being given 'life within himself' i.e a Creator with the capability to give life out of himself. This blew my mind open at the time as this was a teaching I have never heard so described from the platform or watchtower. Although Ted was a real company man in many other ways when dealing with elder issues and congregation matters, which often frustrated me, this talk gave me a new insight into the Bible which was one of the steps that led me to examine the Bible more closely. I am sad to hear that he has passed.

G.O.D

by claiming themselves 'guardians of doctrine', have the governing body turned themselves into a g.o.d?.
MrHappy

I struggle to even believe that the governing body would describe themselves as guardians of doctrine (or the doctrine) Jesus is the Shepherd of our Souls and died for all (mankind). Have you ever thought of Jesus requiring a Guardian of Doctrine?
