EXOTIC WATCHTOWERS
by cameo-d ini am inspired to start this topic because of something i stumbled across in an answer to parakeet on another thread.. he has some deruta majolica.
this is the heraldy crest for the deruta family.
it has a very exotic looking watchtower as its central theme.. i believe i have seen in a photograph somewhere, a similar one that actually exists.. i wonder what sinister meanings lurk behind the concept of watchtowers.. there has to be something very evil here since one of the most vile religions i know of has named its foundation after this structure.. let's see what we come up with.. .

by processor inaccording to german april issue of our kingdom ministry, the watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls:.
it sais that the watchtower logo - a stylised watchtower or a watchtower with a bible - is used by the watchtower society.

WatchTower: an occult name origin?
by cameo-d init seems the occult origins of the word "watchtower" has been around for a very long time.
