This document discusses and provides examples of alleged subliminal and satanic images hidden in publications by Jehovah's Witnesses. It claims the Watchtower Society has published books and magazines containing subtle, encrypted images designed to influence readers' subconscious minds or enable communication for occult groups. Examples shown include faces appearing in hands, thumbs, and other body parts in artwork. More elaborate "mirroring images" are created by placing a mirror across artwork to reveal composite images of devil faces, skulls, and symbols of madness and evil. The document suggests these images are intentionally designed to be found only by those already knowledgeable in occult topics. Ordinary readers would not notice anything strange without the context provided.

1. SUBLIMINAL IMAGES IN
WATCHTOWER PUBLICATIONS
IMÁGENES SUBLIMINALES EN
LAS PUBLICACIONES DE LOS
TESTIGOS DE JEHOVÁ

2. INTRODUCTION
The Watchtower Society has published numerous books and magazines: Knowledge
That Leads to Everlasting Life, My Book of Bible Stories, “What Does the Bible Really
Teach?”, etc.
The most popular publications of the Watchtower Society are, however, "The
Watchtower" and "Awake!"
INTRODUCCIÓN
La Sociedad de la Torre del Vigía ha publicado numerosos libros y revistas: El
Conocimiento que Lleva a La Vída Eterna, Aprendamos del Gran Maestro, ¿Qué
Enseña Realmente la Bíblia?, etc. Las publicaciones más conocidas de esa sociedad
son , sin embargo, “La Atalaya” y “¡Despertad!” (conocidas en inglés como The
Watchtower y Awake!).

3. The founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses was Charles taze Russell. He was born
on February 16th, 1852, and died on October 31th (Halloween), 1916. This man
believed that the Great Pyramid of Giza had been set (together with the Bible) as
a witness of the presence of God. Russell wrote in his book "The Divine Plan of
the Ages" that the pyramid measures gave precise data about the weight of the
Earth, the distance to the Sun, and the year of Christ’s Second Coming, which
was, 1914. Finally, we have to say that few people know there is a pyramid in
Russell’s tomb:
El fundador de los Testigos de Jehová fue Charles Taze Russell, nacido el 16 de
febrero de 1852 y fallecido el 31 de octubre (la noche de brujas) de 1916. Este señor
creía que la Gran Pirámide de Gizeh había sido puesta como testigo de la presencia
de Dios junto a la Biblia. Defendía incluso en su libro “El Plan Divino de las Edades”
que las medidas de la pirámide daban datos como el peso de la Tierra, la distancia al
Sol, y el año de la venida de Cristo, que era, 1914, medida obtenida en la longitud de
uno de los pasadizos principales. Finalmente, pocos Testigos conocen que la tumba de
Russell es una pirámide:

4. Left: Pyramid at Charles Taze Russell’s grave (Charles Russell was the Jehovah's Witnesses’ founder). Right:
Pyramid at another false prophet’s grave, William Branham, who believed that the word of God came from both
the pyramid and the scriptures.
Izquierda: La pirámide que adorna la tumba de Charles Taze Russell (fundador de los Testigos de Jehová).
Derecha: tumba de otro falso profeta - William Branham - quien creía que la palabra de Dios procedía tanto de
la pirámide como de la escritura.

5. Most of us know that a subliminal message (or a subliminal image) is designed to be
able to go below the normal limits of perception.
Although, in general, these messages or images intended to influence the
subconscious of people, however, they are also used to enable an exchange of
messages that can only be received and understood by people who belong to an
specific occult organization. This is the case of the subliminal & satanic images
hidden in the Watchtower’s publications.
La mayoría de nosotros sabemos que tanto los mensajes como las imágenes subliminales
se diseñan para que puedan pasar por debajo de los límites normales de la percepción.
Aunque, por lo general, este tipo de mensajes o imágenes tiene el propósito de influir en el
subconsciente de las personas, sin embargo, también se utiliza para hacer posible un
intercambio de mensajes que sólo pueden ser interpretados por miembros de sociedades
secretas u ocultistas. Este es el caso de las imágenes subliminales ocultas en las
publicaciones de los Testigos de Jehová.

6. SAMPLES
THE FACE IN THE HAND
The following is one of the best
known subliminal images of the
Watchtower. This piece of art
appears on page 159 of the book
"Revelation, Its Grand Climax at
Hand":
EJEMPLOS
EL ROSTRO EN LA MANO:
La siguiente es una de las
imágenes subliminales más
conocidas de la Watchtower. Esta
aparece en la página 159 del libro
"Apocalipsis, Se Acerca Su
Magnífica Culminación":
The piece of art depicts John, the
beloved disciple, on the island of
Patmos, where he was exiled around
96 AD. The giant character is Jesus
Christ glorified. Although apparently
there is nothing strange in this
painting, a careful observation will
reveal the presence of an irregularity
in the right hand of the character; a
human face:
La pieza de arte representa a Juan, el
discípulo amado, en la isla de Patmos, a
la cual fue desterrado aproximadamente
en el año 96 de nuestra era.
El personaje gigante es Jesucristo
glorificado.
Aunque, aparentemente, no existe nada
extraño en esta pintura, una observación
cuidadosa advertirá la presencia de una
irregularidad en la mano derecha del
personaje; el perfil de un extraño rostro:

7. Why is there a face in the palm of this
hand? To answer this question we will
reproduce the explanation given by JE
Cirlot in his Dictionary of Symbols:
"Another comparable symbolic device is
also found commonly in demonic figures:
it consists of taking some part of the body
that possesses, as it were, a certain
autonomy of character or which is directly
associated with a definite function, and
portraying it as a face. Multiple faces and
eyes imply disintegration or psychic
decomposition—a conception which lies at
the root of the demoniacal idea of rending
apart" (A dictionary of Symbols, 1962,
page 96).

8. FACE ON THE THUMB:
The following picture is on page 13
of "The Watchtower" magazine,
issue August 15th, 2007:
EL ROSTRO EN EL PULGAR:
La siguiente imagen se encuentra
en la página 13 de la revista "La
Atalaya", edición 15 de Agosto de
2007:

9. Can you see the strange head instead of the thumb?

10. The following picture
is on page 23 of "The
Watchtower"
magazine, issue July
1st, 2010:
El siguiente cuadro
se encuentra en la
página 23 de la
revista “La Atalaya”

Preste atención al
brazo izquierdo del
personaje.
"THE WATCHTOWER" MAGAZINE, ISSUE JULY 1ST, 2010 Look at the character's left arm:

11. Can you notice the face on the arm?
¿Nota usted la cara que se forma en el
brazo?

12. THE FACE ON THE RIGHT HAND
The next image is found on page 17 of the book
"You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth":
Look at the right hand of Jesus. Do you
notice anything strange?
Mira a la derecha de Jesús. ¿Nota usted algo
extraño?

13. Place this piece of art in a
vertical position and the
profile of a face will appear:

14. THE WATCHTOWER:
ISSUE JANUARY 1st,
2007
The following image
appears on page 22 of
"The Watchtower"
magazine, issue January
1st, 2007:

15. Can you see the face on the
palm?

16. MIRRORING IMAGES
However, the strangest type of encrypted images, found in Watchtower publications, are the "mirroring
images".
These images are the most elaborated (and certainly the most evil). In order to identify them you have to take
certain pieces of Jehovah’s Witnesses art (as they appear in their publications) and placing a mirror at the
center or at the edge of these pieces of art, create new images composed of one-half of each piece viewed
forward and backward at the same time — sort of the visual equivalent of backwards masking in audio. (It
sounds complicated, but it’s really nothing more than the old funhouse mirror technique — a trick some of
you might remember from Prince’s video for “When Doves Cry” — applied to a piece of static art.) And — as
much as I hate to admit it — when viewed in this way, the new images formed really do appear to contain
composite images that resemble devil’s heads, tortured faces, skulls and psychedelic shapes suggestive of
madness and evil.
IMAGENES REFLEJADAS (MIRRORING IMAGES)
Sin embargo, el tipo de imágenes encriptadas más extraño, encontrado en las publicaciones de la watchtower, lo
constituyen las imagines compuestas o reflejadas. Este tipo de imágenes es el más elaborado (y, sin duda, el más
maligno). Para poder identificar las imágenes reflejadas (mirroring images), la mano de un conocedor debe llevar
ciertas piezas de arte de los Testigos de Jehová (tal como aparecen en sus publicaciones) y, colocando un espejo en
un punto determinado dentro de cada imagen (a veces debe colocar el espejo en uno de los bordes de la pieza de
arte), crear una nueva imagen compuesta de la mitad de cada pieza vista hacia adelante y hacia atrás al mismo
tiempo. Y cuando se ve de esta manera, Las nuevas imágenes que se forman de verdad se asemejan a cabezas de
demonios y formas psicodélicas sugestivas de locura y maldad.

17. SAMPLE 1
MIRRORING IMAGE IN “THE
WATCHTOWER” MAGAZINE ,
ISSUE OCTOBER 1, 2001
Look at this piece of art found on
page 9 of “The Watchtower“
magazine, issue October 1,
2001:

18. Place the mirror on the right side of the red square and you
will get a demon’s head.
Coloque el espejo en el lado derecho del cuadro y se obtendrá
la cabeza de un demonio:

19. THE HORNED GOD
The following image was
found on page 25 of the “The
Watchtower“ magazine,
issue September 15th, 2005:
EL DIOS ASTADO
La siguiente imagen
corresponde a la página 25
de la revista "La Atalaya" (en
su versión en inglés
"Watchtower") del 15 de
setiembre de 2005:

22. Esta imagen representa al "dios astado“; ídolo cornudo que era
adorado por los brujos en la edad media.
This image
represents the
"horned god“;
horned idol that
was worshiped
by witches in the
Middle Ages.

23. THE "GOD OF THE
WITCHES" ON THE TREE
The following image is in
chapter 16 of the book "You
Can Live Forever in Paradise
on Earth":
EL "DIOS DE LOS BRUJOS"
EN EL ÁRBOL
La siguiente imagen se
encontró en el capítulo 16 del
libro "":Usted puede vivir para
siempre en el Paraíso en la
Tierra

24. Place a mirror on the right side of the
yellow square and you will get this
face of the horned god of the witches
(Satan):
Coloque un espejo en la parte derecha
del cuadro amarillo y obtendrá esta cara
del dios cornudo de las brujas (Satanás):

25. Compare this horned
face with two
representations of
the "god of the
witches" painted by
Francisco de Goya:
Compare este rostro
cornudo con las
representaciones del
“dios de los brujos”
pintados por
Francisco de Goya:

26. Goat head in the book "Revelation: Its Grand Climax at Hand!"
The following
mirroring image
was found on page
156 of the book
"Revelation: Its
Grand Climax at
Hand!"
La siguiente imagen
reflejada (mirroring
image) se ha obtenido
de la página 156 del
libro "APOCALIPSIS:
¡Se Acerca su
Magnífica
Culminación!"

27. The original
image is this:
La imagen
original es ésta:

29. This mirroring image
represents the god of
witches levitating.
Compare this mirroring
image with the traditional
position adopted by some
magicians, fakirs and
witches when they
levitate:
La imagen completa
representa al dios de los
brujos levitando.
Compárese esta imagen
con la posición
tradicional que adoptan
algunos magos, faquires
o brujos al levitar:

30. The following picture
is on page 35 of the
book "The
knowledge that leads
to everlasting life":
La siguiente imagen
está en la página 35
del libro "El
Conocimiento que
Lleva a la Vida Eterna":

31. The book "The Knowledge That Leads to Everlasting
Life" (from which this picture was taken) became, until
2005, the main compendium used by Jehovah's
Witnesses to lead Bible studies and was later replaced
by the book "What Does the Bible Really Teach?".
El libro "El conocimiento que lleva a vida eterna", de
donde se ha extraído esta imagen, se convirtió, desde
1995 hasta el año 2005, en el principal compendio
usado por los Testigos de Jehová para dirigir estudios
bíblicos, siendo posteriormente sustituido por el libro
"¿Qué enseña realmente la Biblia?".

32. If you put a mirror on the bottom left (where the child is
sitting on a stone), you'll get this scary mirroring image
which represents the god of the wtches:
Si colocamos un espejo en el borde inferior izquierdo (donde está el niño sentado sobre una
piedra) obtendremos esta imagen reflejada que representa al dios de los brujos.

33. The following image is in Chapter 88 of
"The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived":
la siguiente
imagen se
encuentra en el
capítulo 88 del
libro "El Hombre
Más Grande de
Todos los
Tiempos“.

34. It represents the Rich Man, a character in
the parable named "The Rich Man and
Lazarus". The Rich man is in Hades (the
Hell). To decode the encrypted image just
rotate the picture 90°, and then, place a
mirror on the edge:
Representa al Hombre Rico, personaje de
la parábola "El Rico y Lázaro", en el
Hades. Para decodificar la imagen
encriptada sólo tiene que girar el cuadro
90° y luego colocar un espejo en el borde:

35. Observe
carefully the
horned face that
is formed in the
flames:
Observe con
atención la el
rostro cornudo
que se forma en
las llamas:

36. Now, look at
the entire
picture:
Observemos
ahora la
figura
completa:

37. WHY DON'T THE COMMON PEOPLE NOTE THESE IMAGES?
Firstly, these images have been prepared to be found by "those who
have eyes to see.” The ordinary reader can hardly find them because
they are not experts on Witchcraft, Satanism, demonism, spiritualism,
etc.
A clear example of this can be seen in the following image on chapter 86
(page 280), in the book "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived" (published
by Jehovah's Witnesses in 1992):
¿POR QUÉ EL COMÚN DE LA GENTE NO NOTA ESTAS
IMÁGENES?
Primero, estas imágenes han sido preparadas para que sean
encontradas por "aquellos que tienen ojos para ver". Es decir, han sido
preparadas por conocedores para conocedores. El lector común
difícilmente podrá encontrarlas porque no es un conocedor en
satanismo, demonismo, espiritismo, etc.
Un ejemplo claro de esto se puede ver en la siguiente ilustración de la
página 86 del libro "El Hombre más Grande de todos los Tiempos"
(publicado por los Testigos de Jehová en 1992):

38. Ordinary people will never notice anything strange about this
picture because the satanic images have been integrated into the
tree. The figure of a "snake" and a "ram's head" have been
integrated into the trunk of this tree.
But even if the reader were to find these two integrated images, he
still would not know the meaning of them. This is because, as we
said, the ordinary reader is not an expert on Witchcraft, Satanism,
demonism, spiritualism, and so on. We have to take into account
that we are dealing with an encrypted satanic cult.
El común de la gente jamás notará algo extraño en esta
ilustración. Esto porque las imágenes satánicas han sido
integradas al árbol, de modo tal que sólo pueden ser descubiertas
por un conocedor. La figura de una "serpiente" y la "cabeza del
carnero" han sido (aunque resulte difícil de creer) integradas al
tronco de este árbol.
Pero incluso, si el lector llegara a encontrar estas imágenes
integradas, aun así no sabría el significado de las mismas. Esto
porque, como ya dijimos, el lector ordinario no es un entendido en
satanismo, brujería, espiritismo, etc. Debemos tener en cuenta que
aquí estamos hablando de un culto satánico encriptado.

39. THE HORNED GOD
This image is on page 16 of the Watchtower
magazine issue March 2011:
EL DIOS ASTADO
Ésta es la página 16 de la edición de marzo
de 2011 de la revista La Atalaya:

40. At the top it reads: "Teachings of the
Word of God." Then, below, there is a
question: "Who is Jesus Christ?”
On the right side of the sheet, there is
a piece of art that represents the Lord
Jesus imparting his teachings, sitting
on a rock. There is a tree behind him.

41. To decode the encrypted image you
have to place a mirror on the right
edge of the sheet and voila!:

42. To achieve this mirroring image, the watchtower artist has used the vegetation. The eyes of the demonic face
look at the reader directly. This face is actually a stylized image of Bafhometh (horned god who was
worshiped by witches in the Middle Age):

43. "DRAW CLOSE TO JEHOVAH", PAGE
210:
The same mirroring image of the
"horned god" is on page 210 of the book
"Draw Close to Jehovah."

44. "THE WATCHTOWER", ISSUE JUNE
13th, 2003
Now, let's see the same piece of art on the
cover of "The Watchtower" magazine,
issues June 15th, 2003:

45. “THE WATCHTOWER", ISSUE FEBRUARY
15TH, 2005 (PAGE 22):
This same mirroring image is on page 22 of
“The Watchtower” magazine, issue February
15th, 2005."

46. Being exposed, the
Watchtower changed
this piece of art in a
recent publication
called "Good News
from God" (page 23):
Al verse descubierta la
Sociedad de la Torre
del Vigía (Watchtower)
modificó esta figura en
una publicación
reciente llamada
“Buenas noticias de
parte de Dios para
nosotros” (página 23):

47. This modus operandi is not
new. The Wachtower has
changed, in later editions,
several subliminal images
discovered in previous
magazines and books. A
good example of what we
have just said is this picture
found in the book called “You
Can Live Forever in Paradise
on Earth”, published in 1982,
page 244”:

48. Can you see the ram's
profile? The image of the
ram represents the
Egyptian god "Amun“. In
witchcraft, Amun is one
of the manifestations of
the “Horned God.”
The watchtower knows
the meaning of the ram
perfectly because it
appears in another
publication called
"Insight on the
Scriptures," at least
twice.

49. Again, being exposed, the
Watchtower changed (in the
same way it did with other
images) this piece of art in
the latest edition of the book
“You Can Live Forever in
Paradise on Earth”:
Otra vez, al verse
descubierta la Sociedad de
los Testigos de Jehová
modificó (al igual que lo hizo
con otras imágenes
subliminales) esta figura en
la ultima edición del libro
“Usted Puede Vivir Para
Siempre en el Paraíso en la
Tierra”):

50. THE SKULL
“THE WATCHTOWER”, ISSUE AUGUST 22ND, 1988:
The following piece of art is on page 22 of “The
Watchtower” magazine, issue August 1, 1988:

51. Place a mirror
in the middle of
the picture and
you’ll get this
skull:

52. MIRRORING IMAGE IN
THE "AWAKE!"
MAGAZINE
The picture shown
below was published in
the "Awake!" magazine
(in its August 2009
issue, page 23). The
same image is on page
39 of the book "Learn
From the Great
Teacher." The drawing
depicts the episode in
which Jesus washed his
disciples' feet:

53. Now place a
mirror at the
center of this
piece of art:

54. Let’s see the same
piece of art as it
appears in the book
"Learn From the Great
Teacher":

55. Again, place a mirror at the center of
the piece of art:
This image depicts a demon known in
witchcraft as Belphegor:

56. Let’s see the same piece of art as it appears
in “The Watchtower“ magazine, issue
November 1st, 2004 (page 7):

57. “LEARN FROM THE
GREAT TEACHER”,
PAGE 91:
The following image is
on page 91 of the
"Learn From the Great
Teacher“ book.

58. The stag-headed demon is exposed by placing the
mirror on the right edge of the blue square:

59. Stag Stag-headed demon According to the
anthropologist
Margaret Murray,
the appearance of
the "horned god of
the witches" could
be like a ram, a
goat, a stag, a bull
or a deer. The
costume
sometimes worn
by the chief or the
witches (main
sorcerer) when he
officiated at th
ceremonies or
rituals (in medieval
times) resembled
these animals.

61. Engravings that show the chief of the
witches (wearing a horned mask) presiding a
coven in ancient times.

62. LA ATALAYA, 1 DE ENERO
DE 1988 (CUBIERTA)
La siguiente imagen aparece en la
cubierta de la revista "La Atalaya"
del 1 de enero de 1988:

63. Coloque un
espejo en el borde
izquierdo de esta
pieza de arte y
aparecerá esta
cabeza de
demonio:

65. CAIN AND THE
ALTAR:
The following image
is found on page 23
of The Watchtower
magazine, issue
January 15th, 2002:

66. It depicts Cain, next
to an altar, angry
with his brother Abel.
This altar, however,
hides a secret that
only can be revealed
by a mirror:

68. This image
appears in some
other Watchtower
publications. It
appears in some
of them with
more details:

70. A FACE IN THE
FIRE
The following image
is in chapter V of the
book "Pay attention
to Daniel's
Prophecy!"

71. Now place a mirror in
the center of this piece
of art.

72. The new
image formed
resembles a
demon's
head:

73. "WHAT DOES THE
BIBLE REALLY
TEACH?"
The presence of
demonic images
(disguised in the
literature of the
Watchtower) is part of
an “encrypted satanic
cult".
The following image is
taken from chapter 4
of the book "What the
Bible Really Teach?”

74. Here we are Jesus instructing his apostles who pay much attention to his words. To
obtain the mirroring image, please, place a mirror on the right edge of this piece of art:

75. Look at the evil face with yellow eyes. Note also the eyes on the head of the apostle:

77. MAGIC, WITCHCRAFT AND SPIRITISM:
These faces with eyes that look at the reader are what is known (in the highest
spheres of European witchcraft and magic) as "Watchers" or "Guardians.” They
represent a form of devil’s omnipresence, or omniscience. We will cite as an analog
example, the Enochian system of magic (a very dangerous witchcraft system where
evil spirits are invoked). In this type of magic, brought to public attention by the
doctors and magicians John Dee and Edward Kelly in the 16th century, we find the
inclusion of Watchtowers or Guardians (Watchers) like complex evocation designs.
The Guardians have their origin in the system of Enochian magic which was
revealed to John Dee (who was born on July 13, 1527 and died in 1608) and Edward
Kelley. According to Dee's diaries, the two men called an "angel" that Kelley saw in
an obsidian mirror; Dee recorded the revelations narrated by Kelley (See the work of
Robert Turner, Elizabethan Magic, page 24). The use of the mirror in witchcraft, for
the invocation of evil spirits, is well known.

78. "HONEYCOMB"?
The following picture
appears on page 740,
Volume 1 of the book
"INSIGHT":

79. It represents a
Honeycomb. But if
you put a mirror in
the middle of the
picture you will
obtain this scary
mirroring image:

80. DEMON WITH SEMITIC
CHARACTERISTICS
The following image is in
Chapter 1 of the book "The
knowledge that leads to
everlasting life." In fact, this is
the first piece of art in that
book:

81. Place the mirror on the
left edge of the yellow
square and you’ll get a
demon with Semitic
characteristics:

83. During the Middle Ages, images depicting demons and the Devil emphasized grotesque, animalistic
physical features. These characteristics were also assigned to those believed to be in the employ of
Satan and his demons, i.e. Jews. Imagery depicting Jews as monstrous or physically grotesque became
more and more commonplace. At present we can see good examples of this kind of demons even in
popular movies (e.g. "Watto" from Star Wars):
