    Watchtower’s Sexual Subliminal?

    Today I uploaded a new article to my blog. It addresses one of the cleverest subliminal image sets I’ve seen in a long time, and perhaps the best of all amongst Watchtower publications. It is replete with doctrinal story-line, euphemism and plain-sight imagery; it has it all.

    My article is titled Watchtower’s Sexual Subliminal? and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/08/watchtowers-sexual-subliminal.html

    Just dug out my 1958 Paradise book and showed these two images to my wife (uber-JW). She was more than surprised, wants to know where I get such things!

    Not to spoil the joke or anything, but was 'cock' even used as a slang term for 'penis' in 1958? I figured that was a much more recent thing.

    Lore,

    You really need to get out more. English slang usage of cock for penis is found in literature dating back at least to the mid-19 th Century.

    Just have fun with it.

    You are funny, Marvin.

    Adam was still a penised man, Marvin. He was sexless in the sense of not having sex with anyone until his Eve came along. And Eve had a vagina to complement that penis that Adam used to urinate with and eventually multiply with.

    I got my PLPF book back in 1958 NY convention. I was 4 years old. As a little kid I always wonder why Adam would have a chicken next to him. Now the mystery is solved. Thanks. Totally ADD
