    There is a German XJW-board at http://www.f25.parsimony.net/forum63052/index.htm (This is different to the one I normally refer to).

    There appeared a member with the name '+' and presented very sophisticared collages for each chapter of the Revelation-book. (I would love to know who this is.)

    They consist of quotes and pictures from this very book but also from very old (contradicting) WT-literature. There is also some sound (sometimes talk) that accompanies these collages. '+' combines this with comics (and other stuff) of the time when the revelation book was new (and when I was a teenager).

    This all results in a mixture that is really eye-opening (and that takes me away in time).

    This is really art!

    The last part (epilog) was today providing when the German branch receives the document of becoming a public body (and by means of this a part of Babylon the Great): http://www.f25.parsimony.net/forum63052/messages/18151.htm

    It contains a video which you find here (long! but impressive): http://www.jesussirach.eu/Epilog/Epilog.rmvb it shows how the WTS plays with symbols and emotions (do not mind the comics he put there as well).

    It is all in German (with a lot of pics and scans and sounds): take a look at the board http://www.f25.parsimony.net/forum63052/index.htm for the threads starting with "Meckis zauberhafte Reise durch das Offenbarungsbuch" - there is one thread for each chapter.

    It is art, please take a look.

    OK thanks for posting that but I just wish I understood German.

    The dude on the right is the German Watchtower spokesman Werner Rudtke.

    Have you also taken a look at the video collage?

    WOW!!

    The video collage is fab!! (Well I got to see most of it anyway, Real Player sucks!!!)

    If others are a bit put off by the automatic download from clicking on the link - it's about 50Mb (dunno if that was 100% video or whether some was Real Player junk) and the clip is 10 minutes long if you see it to the end lol!

    It's worth watching - and the background music etc is in English.

    I haven't figured out how to view the art, but the video is mega impressive. It demonstrates how the WT myth pulls at the heart-strings, and manages to inspire generations to a lost cause. And how powerful their images are on the human psyche.

    You now find the links to the collages for each chapter of the Revelation-book at the bottom of

    http://www.manfred-gebhard.de/Mecki.htm

    It is in German but I think the collection of images gets the message across.

    Thank you so much. The author understands the power of these images. I've just looked through chapters 1 and 2, but it's great stuff, for sure. Do you know the name of the publication in English for this image?
