Unlikely Place For a JW Reference
by TD inprobably a useless piece of trivia, but then i have a trivial mind..... unless i'm color blind, two of the band members in rammstein's recent music video, deutschland, are depicted as bible students.. from left to right, oliver riedel wears a pink triangle, (homosexual) paul landers wears a yellow star of david, (jewish) till lindemann wears a yellow & purple star of david (jewish bible student) and christian lorenz wears a simple purple triangle (gentile bible student).
