This just goes to show that the Watchtower Society is attracte to quackery and fringe medicine, possibly because it goes against mainstream big government, big medicine, big business, and big religion. The idea that one can predict a person's temperament, intelligence, or criminality from their outward appearance is called Physiognomy. There was a revival of this shady practice in the 1920's.

Cordelia - Quotes is still there as of a few minutes back - http://quotes.watchtower.ca/index.htm
The Watchtower has sued him though and thus the interest here in why and quotes the WTBTS fears.

I wonder when the WT abandoned Physiognomy or if any of the WT old timers still secretly believe in it. Some of those men have funny features, especially one of the new GB, the one from the Australian Branch. Maybe it is a sign of being anointed and special.

*** w71 3/1 p. 134 How Is Your Heart? ***
The Bible does not speak of a symbolic or spiritual heart in contradistinction to the fleshly or literal heart, just as it does not speak of a symbolic mind, and thus we do not want to make the mistake of viewing the literal heart as merely a fleshly pump as does orthodox physiology today. Most psychiatrists and psychologists tend to overcategorize the mind and allow for little if any influence from the fleshly heart, looking upon the word "heart" merely as a figure of speech apart from its use in identifying the organ that pumps our blood.... It is significant that heart-transplant patients, where the nerves connecting the heart and brain are severed, have serious emotional problems after the operation...
It is interesting to observe, too, that the heart is one of the first organs of the body to be affected by emotional circumstances. Our hearts leap with joy; sudden danger brings a violent racing of the heart. Fear causes trepidation of the heart. Grief and sorrow bring it pain. From the heights of joy and pleasure to the depths of despair and pain, the sensations of the heart are felt throughout the body...
Now, although the Bible shows the heart and mind to be separate and distinct, this still allows for close interrelation, interdependency, and interplay between them. Your heart can be fed by your mind, for it is really with the conscious brain that we see, hear, feel, and receive the effects of our other physical senses. In turn, your mind, which is seated in the brain, can be moved or motivated by your heart.
