Very good everyone.
This is really a tribute to many of the Mother Goddesses in her various forms. The reference to "her breast like date clusters" and her being like a palm tree with "goats in her hair" is a specific form of the goddess Artemis of Ephusus. Her original form used to have a nimbus behind her head, a circle with goats looking like they were jumping. But a later version cut down the nimbus so that it was level with her head and the artistic look was that it was her hair extension and so it looked like goats in her hair.
Here is a link to this version of this goddess, but you can find others on the net by looking up "Artemis of Ephesus".

Of note, please don't let anybody fool you. FREEMASONS and anybody in the mysteries know quite well the symbolisms here and JWs used this as a basis for their Freemasonry secret society within the Watchtower organization. Just like Freemasons like to put their seeing-eye pyramid in plain sight for everybody on the dollar bill, so witnesses used to the concept of the goddess expressed in architecture, namely, the references to the tower and the wall. That combination is depicted on the early Watchtower magazines and represnts a form of the goddess. Also you'll note the white mountaintop with the stream coming from it. The goddess was known to give milk, knowledge, to her followers and the breast represented this, thus the mountain with the water coming from it represents this part of the cultic identity of Artemis.
There were many forms the goddess could be expressed, including in diagramatical shapes. Thus the triangle was associated with the escutcheon (pubic area), the pyramid with the breast. She was represented in physical form as a "grove" which was two rows of trees to represent her womb into which her followers would enter, considered a sacred place. Thus many Catholic Churches have the same design where an alter is at the end of a long hall. The wall and the tower as the WTS represents it represented her breasts in architecture.
Trees were also used to represent the goddess who was the one who was considered the "Mediatrix" she who brought heaven and earth together, because a tree has roots in the earth and branches in the sky. The Christmas tree with dew on it thus represented the "woman and her seed", that is Satan as the woman and the dew, like shiny stars, the angels joining her in rebellion. Thus a Christmas tree with lights substitutes for the dewdrops and represents the goddess with her rebel angels, another form of the goddess, who is actually the personification of Satan himself, the original "Queen of Heaven", the most beautiful angel in Heaven and Jesus/Michael's former wife (i.e. when Genesis 3:15 says, "I'll put enmity between you and the WOMAN and between your seed and HER SEED" God was talking to Jesus/Michael, with the reference to Satan being the woman. Thus the "woman and her seed", the woman holding a branch, the Christmas tree with lights, the Madonna and child, all are forms of Satan's rebellion as the "woman and her seed".
The WTS, starting with Russell has used cultic symbolism to draw secret societies into this organization where they could practice secretly and their cultic symbolisms were first that of the Knights of Templar and the winged disk, but then graduated to the more subtle representations of the goddess with the Tower. Look up "TOWER GODDESS" on the net and you'll see it's the same type of tower with "battlements" which represents the breasts of the goddess per Song of Solomon.
Note that after Russell died, JF Rutherfored in the abominible 7th Volume where he claimed Russell was the "Faithful and Wise Servant" also had a chapter on the entire book of Song of Solomon, another indication he was steeped into the Mysteries. The cover design of the Watchtower, as noted, is a direct reflection of the goddess described in architure form, with the wall with battlements which is an architectural form of the goddess.
But you know, for some reason, when you point out to JWs that: "oooh, look, Russell had the winged disk and the Knights of Templar emblems on the Watchtower", they think it's innocent and means nothing and that Russell didn't know what he was doing.
Part of the ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES involved a hallucinogenic which was a fungus that grew on grain. They used it to create hallucinogenic experiences for the converts. It might has been associated with the darnell as well, which is a weed that looks like wheat. Thus when the Bible prophesied that the temple organization, which is Jehovah's witnesses, would be oversown with "weeds" it was a reference to the mysteries cults finding a place within the Watchtower Society beginning from early on which would be with Russell. The parable says the weeds were sown before even the blades of wheat showed up. That means before the organization had even become very visible. This is the infiltration of the mysteries cult and Freemasonry-linke secret society and practices led by Russell and Rutherford. But anyone in the mysteries would recognize clearly that SOS was talking about their pagan cultic goddess worship. It becomes even more obvious when you see the influence of the symbolism found in SOS on the cover of the Watchtower, a mere substitute for the crown and cross and the Knights of Templar emblems and the pyramids.
OF NOTE, THERE ARE THREE BOOKS OF THE OT THAT ARE NOT CROSS-QUOTED FROM BY THE NT BIBLE WRITERS, ALL OF THEM ARE NON-INSPIRED, THEY ARE: ESTHER, ECCLESIASTES, AND OF COURSE, SONG OF SOLOMON (CANTICLES).
JWs and XJWs have the higest concentration of Freemasons I've seen in any group. The "seeing eye" of Horus is often used as a symbol on their logos (like this one). The seeing "eye" and code words like "watchers" are variations to the seeing eye of the pyramid.
The high concentration of those into branches of Freemasonry and Secret Societies, now primarily in use for commercial advantage, within the Watchtower Society, which is the chosen "temple organization" is why in Revelation it tells them: "Get out of her MY PEOPLE", speaking of Babylon the Great, which is the representation of the secret societies and Illuminati influencing the UN. Of course, why would the Bible say, "Get out of her MY PEOPLE" unless there wasn't a particular problem with them being connected with Babylon the Great?
So boils down to some/many witnesses think they can be Freemasons and witnesses too and that's fine, but the Bible disagrees and says if you don't get out of her, you'll receive "part of her plagues". BTG is scheduled to be destroyed by the UN and exposed, after which all doing business with her will suffer and mourn her. This suggests a catastrophic financial collapse throughout the world just before Armageddon in my reading. I'm wondering is "part of her plagues" will end up affecting those who have been "made rich" by utilizing the Freemasonry financial advantages?
At any rate, as benign as participating directly or indirectly with Babylon the Great may be, perhaps passively going along, there is a penalty to pay for being part of her and so true Christians must get out before it's too late. Actually part of her plagues includes destruction, so maybe that's God's warning that witness Freemasons will be destroyed.
Hmmmmmm...
