The Librarian

Not the first one. That could never be a Watchtower picture. I worked in the Art Department during my first few years at Bethel. There are several things wrong with this first picture. It would have been "blasphemy" to present a picture like that into any of the publications. 
Since the 1940's we have always kept the same "motif." If destruction is shown close-up, then there are NEVER any Witnesses near the destruction. (No "close calls" can be imagined.) It if is not a close-up of destruction, then the destruction must be in the far background, usually to the left, and if Witnesses are shown it is always a congregation-sized group of them, never just one or a few, and they should be streaming towards the right of the picture. The stream of Witnesses should be heading to higher ground ("the mountain of Jehovah") with no one looking back towards the destruction ("remember the wife of Lot"). If an artist made a picture with excess praise to the heavens it would be rejected. If an artist made a picture with a distracting bit of excess emotion or pathos it would be rejected. The eyes should be on something in front of them, with no eyes looking toward Jehovah or heaven. Upward-facing eyes should never be looking at anything higher than a mountaintop of a near horizon, usually out of the picture.
The picture here is probably intended to show the issue of "some chosen and some not." The wife and little girl are drawn ambiguously at the edge of a cliff, either having just climbed up or about to fall into it. Either way they are not being helped (yet) by the more obvious "saved" Christian. The "ambiguous" condition of people who might otherwise appear to be good Christians is a common theme in "left behind" imagery.  The inclusion of a small, innocent-looking child (with a doll) left behind is probably a signal that the artist is trying to present predestination.

Thanks for sharing.  
I would actually encourage them to start an account on here and post what they want since this site has multilingual and a vastly larger multinational reach. 
That is why I started posting on here.

Think of a type of "Craigslist" for jobs to help pioneers stay longer in the field.

Emotional ups and downs are common among young people but can also be confusing. The good news, though, is that you can understand your emotions and learn to control them.

If I see anything at all related to the attack I will post it here:
 

Then I see this headline:

Speechless......SMH.....

Do we all really need some sort of chat area?
Or what am I missing here?
Maybe I ate something bad for dinner.....I'm feeling cranky today.

The poor @admin is going to wonder what is this crazy group of people that is taking over his forum.....
 
(He probably had no idea just how many people would be coming this way from jw-archive.org... LOL)

RATS!
and I already had my missiles targeted!

Publicly revealing members' IP locations is uncool - even if the members are being a pain in the rump. Tsk, tsk.

You have admitted your thinking about Jehovah's Witnesses. Now its on record for all to see.
So you feel , after your edit, that its ok to pick and choose what to believe from Jehovah's Organization.
[edited to add the words in brackets] by "insider":
 "What's hard to understand is why you claim that you will always prefer the [certain, specific] teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses even if you are aware that the Bible teaches something different [about those certain, specific teachings]"
You even went so far as to say on 8/27 : "You obviously don't know that that my experience at Bethel makes me believe that I have "power" and "authority" to question the dispensation of spiritual food by God." Need I say more  You have more authority because you spent a few years at Bethel 40 years ago. LOL right. No wonder you believe you have as you say"special interpretation".  Rather haughty - no wonder you call yourself an "insider". Satan was an "insider" also, so I woundn't brag about it.
No reason to say further. Promoting the teachings of Christendom is wrong. Jesus said "by their fruits " you would recognize true from false religion.
The Bible teaches whatever our HEAD tells us we do = JESUS. NOT you and Christendom. LOL seriously 
This is a shipwreck in progress. All I have to say now is:

The best calculator ever designed was the HP-41C series, and the HP-41CX, which have alpha numeric capabilities. I entered a Brothers name in full ... Vernon Reece ... and toggled the alpha switch back to numeric.  
The brother was telling me about this "7734" trick ... so I handed him my calculator, and asked him to enter his birthdate ... and do perhaps a dozen arithmetical calculations, then divide it by his social security number ... then add his house number ... then several more multiplications and divisions.
Then I asked him to press the "alpha" toggle.
The look on his face was PRICELESS !

Uh Oh! Does that mean it will be weeks before we hear from you again?
