  You guys always had the best artists. Jehovah's Witness propaganda was always portrayed as the equivalent of spiritual pornography, especially when I was an LDS missionary. Still, I always enjoyed your artwork, even though it was "forbidden". I always imagined me and my harem of wives in one of your pictures in the hereafter. Now that you guys are "out", have your finer artists put your skills to mocking your cult? I'd love to see your famous pastels in parody.

  Here's a couple exmormon cartoons from the salamandersociety. These two are playing cards. There are many others there. Most you would only get as a former mormon.

  

  

  So, is there any funny ex JW artwork out there?

  That chastity belt looks like a weapon!

  Did you really have a harem or is that just for the afterlife?

  Not if my wife had anything to say about it.

  Funny thing is, Mormons still believe in polygamy, having many wives in the hereafter, etc. You accumulate additional wives through attrition or serial monogamy. In fact, if a wife dies or there is a divorce, the husband can be sealed to a new wife. Divorce is different than "unsealing". Divorce rates for Mormons is about the same. Becoming officially "unsealed" temple wise is rare. Sometimes I think they use that differentiation for outrageous claims about "successful" Mormon marriage rates.

  The thing that really kills me is to know the history of the LDS church. The church used to be ALL ABOUT ALTERNATIVE MARRIAGE. Monogamy was taught as a thing of the devil a hundred+ years ago. Nowadays, the church is all about "traditional" marriage. They don't have a moral leg to stand on, but don't try to tell that to an active member!!!

  FormerMormon: "I always imagined me and my harem of wives in one of your pictures in the hereafter."

  I wonder how many women imagine a blissful afterlife as a "wife" in a harem. You're a former Mormon but you also state that the LDS have abandoned their once-sacred doctrine of "plural marriage." Are you a member of a FLDS church?

  If you think JW artists are good, you need to visit a few art museums or buy a book on art history. BTW, there have been several instances of WTS' plagiarizing artwork from other sources, including an ad for liquor. I'd include the page sites if I could find them.
