(2) HOAX: No Subliminal Art RE: Jehovah's Witnesses Watchtower

IMAGES ARE FROM NATURE PHOTOGRAPHS. The people trying to pass this hoax off as real use a mirror to create images. I've duplicated that technique on photographs from my collection. You can do the same with yours. It just takes patience in finding photos that yield the "right" images.

• Amazingly detailed images can be commonly found by looking at photographs. Therefore, they can be commonly found in paintings as well. It's simply a coincidence of light and shadow.

• It doesn't matter how the photo or painting is manipulated. The bottom line is that the illusionist is offering you something to look at and thus giving your mind's eye the chance to experience pareidolia.

• If he or she is talented enough, the illusionist will play on your potential sensitivities. If canines make you uncomfortable, then they will show you dogs left and right.

• Concerning the difference between intentional vs. coincidental: If it's not true of photographs, then it's not likely to be true of most paintings.

• Fictional stories of secret plots, if being sold as real life, have a heavy burden of proof to overcome.
Logic is the storyteller's biggest obstacle, and their supposed verifications typically have to stay "anonymous" so they can't be checked (exposed).

• If the illusionist is acting out of malice toward the artist (or art producing company) their goal, at the very least, could be to rob other people of their joy in viewing the pieces of art; the fictional
scandal might stick in people's minds even after they've come to discover that it isn't true.

If your faith has been somewhat shaken by this hoax, please rest assured that it isn't true. And if you know of someone who's been snared please pass along the information.

?????????????????????? HUH What does that have to do with first photo?It was a photo not artwork.Please explain

[faithonthemarch]

Hi puglet13. A simple (NON JW PUBLICATION) photograph yielded dozens of strange images... as most photographs can.

Anti-JWs try to trick people by claiming a naturally occuring phenomenon of light & shadow are subliminal images (always done by ANONYMOUS sources that can't be interviewed).

This photograph produced a few of the creepiest pareidolic images. So, when the people selling the hoax claim that "people were stunned!" or "I was definitely creeped out" or "I felt my skin crawl" in reference to the supposed WT images, please remember the amazing COINCIDENTAL pareidolia in this, and other photographs. It's all smoke and mirror.

i can't believe anyone could be deceived by this tactic. i've seen the videos showing these mirror images. as soon as i saw them, i knew the people making the videos were full of excrement. anyone who falls for that kind of thing wants to be stumbled. there is plenty of real evidence that has convinced me the society is not everything it claims to be. i don't think they are evil, just confused like everyone else. witnesses will not be condemned, and neither will a lot of others. love is the key.
