  "Hagar's" clothing is a little suspect because the artist did both her and Sarah, and handled draping really well. But I don't understand the bunching of her material on her shoulder. These two ladies are well done and did a sitting.

  The rest of the figures - some have been taken from stock pictures and collaged together. The bull and the walker are stuck together but not convincingly. And you can see they used the same people in different places. I don't know if the "skeleton hand" on her shirt was purposeful or unintentional. Was Hagar's clothing a rush job creating puckers in her shoulder area or an artist that was doing it on purpose... can't say.

  someone posted this image on their facebook page of a recent jw rc showing a rather petite group of baptismal candidates.

  notice there are nearly 75 seats (5 rows) reserved for the occasion.

  by my count...it looks like between 17 to 19 were baptized...with total attendance of 6,000. the youngest among them looks like between 9 and 11 years old.

  Looks like more baptizers than baptized. At least the lady provided a break from the standing around waiting.

  I had posted this before but it didn't take i guess. It's not an earth shattering image but it does show that the artist has purposely inserted/invented a little image onto the background.

  Why the Catholic Church outlast Jehovah's Witnesses

  many of us who are old timers in "truth", will clearly remember how we and the organization gloated when christendom began selling off their churches, as we saw many ending up becoming cafe's and art galleries.

  i personally remember being told (both in general conversation and in print) that the fall of their congregant numbers meant that most churches were ultimately attended by the elderly and it was clearly linked to the "drying up of her waters" in reference to the fall of babylon and babylon the great..

  how ironic, that this very situation has now befallen the society and our local kingdom halls..

  Yes being one of the first major religions has it's advantages. They also didn't have the internet to debunk them for hundreds of years.

  Xanthippe - There is something there. But what the intent is - joke by a bored artist - revenge by a pimo artist - the king of Evil known as the WT - shrugs.

  Or an even simpler explanation - lazy artist that used a photoshop tool to remake the background and ended up doing a mirror by mistake because well, they were lazy.

  I don't really see anything in the above picture but I do see a difference in how the sleeve folds are painted. The original artist has painted the folds in a confident way on the arm to the right. But to me it appears that someone else has added a very weak and overdone set of folds on the sleeve to the left. Just where the elbow crook is. Is there something there or did the art directors ask for an add on? Who knows. In my opinion, it doesn't look good or right.

  I zoomed in on the picture to where his right is raised. I think the arm and hand may have been higher and then it was lowered a little. There are some brush lines in the background just a bit higher and to the left that suggest that and that may be why the sleeves suffered a change in the folds.

  I see what truthlover123 is talking about. Just above that arm is a part of the background that is a design. The background itself a loose abstract but in that area if you zoom in a bit, you see a "mirrored" image. Mirrored in that if divided it is equal on the left and right. That is different from the rest of the background abstract. Probably a joke by the WT artist knowing that people are looking for that kind of stuff.

  I don't have photoshop on this comp or I would intensify the colors just to see what extent they played with the background.
