  Ever wonder what it must be like for the JWs to dress up like witches and stand around a pentagram for a magazine picture. How about all the crosses and pagan symbols in the magazines. They print and distribute these images to millions.

  Now wait, I'm not saying that this is wrong. I'm just saying it is in stark contrast to the superstitious Rank and File.

  I know JWs who wouldn't go into stores if they sold gemstones or incense. Some wouldn't buy things at tag sales because they don't know the history of the item. Cd covers, posters, tv shows, magazines, clothing, etc. all of it was scrutinized for pagan or satanic symbols when there was more pagan and Satanic symbols in their copies of WT and AWAKE than anywhere else in their houses.

  Just thought that was odd.

  I have a story so depressing about this subject, I can't even tell it.

  There must be a cupboard at Brooklyn rammed full of Pagan/Satanic items they use as props!

  I remember an elder telling me when I asked about this same thing that they used to have JW's pose for those scenes. But then they were too many r&f getting stumbled so they employed wordly actors to pose in the scenes.

  I realise now that is most likely not at all true. Why would they WTBTS pay for a model/actor when they can get a JW for free.

  Someone was telling me a story of a particular shot in which one of the kids was smoking. They said it was really, really odd to have that pack of cigarettes lying on the table in one of the societies buildings.

  -Aude.
