It's OK to use them, because they own the factory that made the boats in that photo apparently So they are basically just taking pictures of some of the more clandestine things which have been manufactured at Bethel.

It's only a little hypocritical, and only if you think about it 'too much'.
But, yeah, the society has ALWAYS used photos from the US Navy/Air Force/Army/etc. Too bad they don't index it, but if you paid attention to the back of the mags as they came out (when they attributed photos used in the mag), youd've noticed this MANY times.
And, they'll be the first to call on the police if they've been robbed. And, you'd better believe they'd be happy to see the US Marines if US members were overseas and came under attack.
I believe they explain this away as being wise with their 'unrighteous riches'. You know, the perks they get for being inseperably linked with the world even though they are 'no part of the world'.
Which is why the bulk of JWs don't really have a problem with the 'library card' excuse. It's just the society being wise with their 'unrighteous riches'.

Frog: can't link to pictures on your hard drive.
Email them to me and I'll put them up on my site and link it here.

It shows how god damned cheap they are.
They most certainly could have found a suitable stock photograph thru a civilian, for-profit stock photo agency (and for their uses, not that much money), but this, from the navy, was probably free or almost free. And that, my friends, over-rode any consideration about how it might "look".
