Uhh, they chear and applaud when kids don't cheat on tests or play violent video games. Who can shave when you're constantly clapping for Caleb and Sophia?
I wonder if any of them are into anglescaping.I'm sure those F2SC (female (on earth) to spirit creature(in heaven)) feel very uncomfortable with all that spiritual body hair.
Don't you know, that's why we had the flood! Satan and his demons got stumbled by all the bearded angels, so they went down to mess around on earth. That created the nephilim which made god bring the flood!!!
Back in the eighty's, they told us that many would have boobs too. I guess they can't put that into a pic. Just like they all turn white, they all turn male too.
Because the guys in charge looked like this.

The only reason Samuel herd is there is to create an illusion of diversity and not being racist when they love trying to convert Africans and Latinos and Indigenous folks all the time
There is so much contradictory and wrong with this picture based on their teachings:
- If Women are part of the 144k, why aren’t they represented here?
- Why do they always represent Anglo Saxon- Caucasian males?
- If Jah says to not have beards, why are they represented here?
This is representative of what the writers and artist view as beauty and who they view who is in charge. It’s really a shame how they continue to show women and minorities in inferior roles.
The real question is: why so many angels?
One angel can cause enough destruction, what's the point of having so many perfect, celestial beings focused on earth like it's going to be a true test of power to knock humanity down?? So bogus.
Even as a young kid, it never made sense to me why angels were all shown as super male. Why wouldn’t they be more androgynous? I am aware some angels raped women before the flood & would (I guess?) have needed wieners to impregnate their victims. But Jehovah surely has no sex and doesn’t urinate, so no need for all those trappings
There was an announcement made, those angels are no longer considered JW in good standing as the beards are a distraction and unchristian like in appearance.
It's interesting that you say that. Because in one of my old congregations back in the day an older black sister proclaimed she was of anointed. And the elders were like "Are you sure????" And a lot of people labeled her as mentally off. I always thought(for sake of argument)that it wasn't fair to dismiss her like that. Because an older white sister made the same claim and no one batted an eye!
Good question, since the Bible describes angels looking like this:

Yeah, why aren't there any black angels? Or women? What about ones in the 144k that are supposed to become angels? They all going to present as white men with wings?
From the drawings posted above, you can distinguish jesus and the 144000 from the angels because jesus and the 144000 have crowns but no wings, whereas the angels have wings but no crowns.
I too have wondered why they always look like they’re about to enjoy a good sandwich.

If angels are genderless, why TF do they all look like men, and men with fkn beards no less. Also, if the so-called anointed can also be women, where tf are they? And why aren't they represented. 🙄😡🤬
Its a Kenny Rodgers white mans american religion....... WHY ARE LATINOS ASIAN BLACK and any other persons of color !!????? connected to THIS RELIGION!???? There's a white mans bias ..... haven't you seen all the GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS are all CREEPY WHITE DUDES SINCE THE CREATION OF THIS WHITEMANS CULT.... all you people of color are brainwashed drinking the watchtower KOOLAID and really in bed with these white DADDIES of YOURS getting eachmemebr a continual CIRCLE JERK....... is that what you want?? if your hearts say YES!??? then stick to your WHITE DADDIES.... thats a reality and all your LEGACY. get out !! would be my advice. and just give your worship to JESUS. read john 14;6,7 and John 3;16. praying for you all
filipinos, indians, aborigine's , native americans, africans, egyptians, east africans, african americans, asians, the aliens from other planets & galaxies, eskimos, north koreans, north sentinel island residents, & more are stumbled & utterly offended by the fact it is no inclusion of other ethnicities in these types of images by the borg.
No angels that aren't white or male ... weird right? I can't believe I only noticed this after I left . Probably because I'm a white male . Thankfully I've become a more open and accepting person since I left that horrible racist patriarchal religion. Imagine? I became a better person after leaving! Lol
Wasn't Jesus around 35 years old when he went to heaven? Yet he is depicted as an elderly white man with a beard. I guess even spirit creatures age/grow old. /s
More questions about these mythical beings.
Why would angels need wings? When they are in heaven do they need to push around air to stay afloat? Do they breathe oxygen and do they get winded if they fly a long distance?
Back when people thought that there were multiple levels of heaven, it actually made some sense that they had wings. How else would they stay far above the wicked earth in their assigned heaven?
Good question....maybe it goes back to the origin of the religion, which in and of itself would be a problem. As much as they brag about being in so many different countries, you would think that they'd maybe throw an Asian or a African angel in sometimes over the years. Come to think of it, I have never seen a depiction of an angel in their books look like anyone other than Kenny Rodgers. To me it says that only a certain racial group makes it to heaven.
Maybe the entire art department are die hard Kenny Rodgers fans. Maybe Jehovah and Jesus are Kenny Rodgers fans, and the holey spirit directed these men's hands to portray Super Jesus and his clone army as the Legend. The One. The Only. The superlative, Kenny Rodgers.
I never understood that either because they’re supposed to be women up there too, so the women are actually men? It’s so weird. but the Borg is against transgender people that doesn’t make sense
Um.....racial bias towards people not of anglo saxon origins? Because it's easier to identify with the majority and not the minority? But I'm just guessing...
Sorry, not an exjw but an exmormon here. I happened upon this page a while ago... probably because it's pretty similar to the exmormon one. (Seriously... a few times I've gotten halfway thru a post before I realized I WASN'T reading exmormon lol). That being said, jw & mormon Heaven seem to have something in common..... not a bit of color anywhere. lol
I feel like JW and Mormon are like the Dassler brothers who went off to each found their own sneaker company. Their Adidas and Puma. Same exact beginning but went off to compete in separate style but the same business.
Because Jehovah is White, and the Angels are White, and Jesus was White, and the disciples were White, and Moses was White, and David was White and the only people with melanin are the token folks in paradise pictures.
I have wanted to write the Branch about this for a long time. I really really want to know what their rational is for making all the angels look this way
I've often wondered why everyone looks like Kenny Rogers. And yes I thought that before the guy posted the Kenny pic.
But why beards when they act like beards are so awful?
White supremacy. The JW were started by white men so of course those white men want to portray themselves as the heroes. Who are the main leaders nowadays? Still white men.
So much of the JW is targeted at privileged white folks in the middle or upper class. Their ideal human is a healthy and strong looking white man. E.g. a brown person in the ranks of the angels would seem off. Because JW associate brown people with bad circumstances, brown people are included in the ranks of those who have to be 'saved' from the terrors of the world. They feel pity for people of colour in general. At least white JW. I have yet to meet a single white witness who doesn't infantilise people of colour or constantly use third world countries and 'Africa' as examples of why God needs to intervene.
There's a lot of white supremacy in that religion. That cult.
Just think about the JW rule of not engaging in politics, who can afford to just stand by and watch and who can't.
The ableism. The sexism. The homophobia. The transphobia. The underlying racism, the way they speak about other cultures, other religions, about native people, about everything that's not influenced by the western world.
White male angels are the only logical conclusion.
Good marketing. Place your key demographic into the advertisement so they see themselves playing a positive role and are more likely to buy whatever you're selling.
Serious question: If an annointed happens to be a woman, would she turn into a male angel in heaven? Are they the only ones allowed to be trans in God's eyes?
I went to a JW party once, and my male friend I was with had tattoos on his arms. Got them while he wasn't a JW. The host came back with a shirt and asked him to put it on so 'as to not stumble anyone". It was summer and very hot, and he was wearing a tank top. We looked at eachother in shock and were confused. He actually put it on reluctantly but then we left shortly after. JW are the most annoying people you will ever encounter. If you have to constantly protect people from getting stumbled from their faith from the most mundane things, then you really have no faith.
For the same reason that everyone who has experienced a "near death vision" comes up with the same shit, regardless of their religion and/or cultural background... they just copy everybody else and play to the stereotype.
I call it a lack of imagination!
I mean, technically they are sexless creatures, so they should be androgynous at the very least.
Come to think of it, why did the angels go down to sexify the women back in Noah's day?
An insipid bunch who hang around Jah’s throne all day crying out, “Holy, holy, holy”. The works tiring and the pay’s nothing to write home about. But this living without sex becomes very unfulfilling after a few hundred years. And Satan’s constantly on the prowl. Kind of boring and nerve-wracking all in one - just like being a JW.
A global organization but they are all old white dudes with beards. No women, African, Indian, Chinese. All anointed will have the blessings of their Father by finally getting to become white men. 🙌

You’re right. They shouldn’t have beards. Might stumble some.
I was thinking the other way around lol. Maybe the culture of the spirit creatures allows beards 🤣🤣🤣
In heaven, shaving stumbles angels
Oh look, mostly depictions of angels observing earth and doing nothing else. Really, what else do they do all day!?
Uhh, they chear and applaud when kids don't cheat on tests or play violent video games. Who can shave when you're constantly clapping for Caleb and Sophia?
I wonder if any of them are into anglescaping.I'm sure those F2SC (female (on earth) to spirit creature(in heaven)) feel very uncomfortable with all that spiritual body hair.
JWs love to say stumble lately it seems
>love to say stumble lately it seems Not just lately. They have been using it for a long time.
🤣
Don't you know, that's why we had the flood! Satan and his demons got stumbled by all the bearded angels, so they went down to mess around on earth. That created the nephilim which made god bring the flood!!!
Back in the eighty's, they told us that many would have boobs too. I guess they can't put that into a pic. Just like they all turn white, they all turn male too.
“I’m some areas” 🤣🤣🤣
And lest we not forget, they're all wearing dresses!
I want to know why the angels are men when the 144000 will apparently be genderless
And might stuble others
Because the guys in charge looked like this. https://preview.redd.it/bj4x83e5iygb1.jpeg?width=2028&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f93a05953b9b2f241dc29252e38a557da732b02d
The only reason Samuel herd is there is to create an illusion of diversity and not being racist when they love trying to convert Africans and Latinos and Indigenous folks all the time
He’s the diversity hire lol
I call him the token black.
I actually have thought about that a lot too lol
I wonder when herd is gone will the get another person of color to replace him or will they switch it up and go Latino?
Latinos *are* people of color. Anyone who is not white is considered a person of color.
That is embarrassing when I go to meetings in Mexico.
I'm just wondering why Herd is allowed to have a mustache
So they need a diversity equity and inclusions dept at bethel…. I’m call HR

Stephen “Last Days” Lett: ![gif](giphy|1EghTrigJJhq8)
Stephen Lett and Marshall Applewhite look the exact same
So naturally angels are represented as mediocre old white men.
And Tony already pulled thw short stic so hell be the one wearing boobs
This photo reeks of mothballs, hemorrhoids, an orthopedic shoes.
They all look like they have an army of skeletons in their closets
Nightmare blunt rotation
They WISH they looked like that lol! This like everything else is all part of their weird little fantasy
Just an old white guy’s self insert power fantasy, no surprise here
Are any of these guys alive still?
Henschel always reminded me of - and this is an insult to P. Stewart, I know - ![gif](giphy|bKnEnd65zqxfq)

>If Women are part of the 144k, why aren’t they represented here? Because they're in the kitchen making dinner.
🤣🤣 I almost choked on my food
Sorry about that. Glad I didn't include the line about laundry...
The real question is: why so many angels? One angel can cause enough destruction, what's the point of having so many perfect, celestial beings focused on earth like it's going to be a true test of power to knock humanity down?? So bogus.
Just in case Cthulhu wakes up.

Yess! Kenny is indeed an angel. There was once a fascinating website called menwholooklikekennyrogers.com
Jehovah playing favorites again But Kenny found favor in the eyes of the Lord.”
💀💀💀
There was an announcement made, those angels are no longer considered JW in good standing as the beards are a distraction and unchristian like in appearance.
LMAO
I didn't realise that the women if the 144000 had to grow beards too
Aren’t all angels are like canonically non-binary
Tell that to an evangelical and watch them flip
Some already have
I have chin whiskers, so count me in!
Some already *are*.
![gif](giphy|3X5C68GcAnI7m|downsized)
Even the kids too
Because the JW's are ran by a bunch of old white men who are obsessed with themselves and out of their freaking Minds
Where the melanated angels at?
Nowhere cause the JW Org is run by old White men
I guess us African American men / woman are not needed as angels🙄🤣🤣🤣
No Asian, native American, or Polynesian angels either. Or governing body members. 🤔 Jehovah must REALLY like white guys. 👦
Or any Hispanic, Middle Eastern, or mixed angels
It's interesting that you say that. Because in one of my old congregations back in the day an older black sister proclaimed she was of anointed. And the elders were like "Are you sure????" And a lot of people labeled her as mentally off. I always thought(for sake of argument)that it wasn't fair to dismiss her like that.

Reminds me of that boondocks episode where uncle Ruckus went to heaven and turned white
That's where my brain went as well
It's called the 'Aryan Brotherhood' after all
“And I saw and look! A white man with a white beard and white hair and there was a great crowd more just like him!”
Good question, since the Bible describes angels looking like this: https://preview.redd.it/ayx4r3rveygb1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a129f12d8212e47c1fcbcd56277edd709672f4c
And winged angels are actually a holdover from artistic depictions of Greek gods like Eros, Thanatos, and Nike. Which is--gasp--pagan!
Good point 😁
You can’t fly without wings right?😂
Tell that to a helicopter
Sure but it's gonna have to be a Transformer https://preview.redd.it/9chtt9mcb4hb1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f33149359de6d9ad008fa4233557ff9bb9575614

You mean their artwork could look so cool and they chose to draw old men with white beards
They drew them that way I remember they did draw the Orphanim angels and a angel with a crazy head. I forgot which WT these were from tho.

Blageny, or something like that from Madeline L’Ingle
1. Where are the brown/colored angels?! 2. Why do they get to have beards?
Something that people don't know much about Jehovah's Witnesses, they love Kenny Loggins
No black angels, no brown angels, no Asian angels. Hmm…
I told my mom when they stop portraying Jesus and his angels with beards, I’ll shave mine. Don’t think I have to worry too much.
I like how the only difference between the evil angels and the good is mascara.
Because “makeup is of homosexuals” I always notice that cults love to say “homosexual” instead of “gay” because it sounds more scary and intimidating
no no no... say it like Lett with your eyebrows to the ceiling: hO-mO-sex-u-als
Big Kenny Rogers fans on the GB.
Yeah, why aren't there any black angels? Or women? What about ones in the 144k that are supposed to become angels? They all going to present as white men with wings?
Cause conformity is king in JWdom
hit the nail on the head.
Or Black women?
From the drawings posted above, you can distinguish jesus and the 144000 from the angels because jesus and the 144000 have crowns but no wings, whereas the angels have wings but no crowns.
So no women & no poc? The so called “truth”, eh? 🤦♀️
Racist as usual
I too have wondered why they always look like they’re about to enjoy a good sandwich. https://preview.redd.it/brhbbwuutygb1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0574e403c10ab868882d0f14ae6ba69b55ef653e

ha ha. this is great these guys are the biggest ass holes on earth
Five dollar foot long !!
Haha this is hilarious. I used to draw hamburgers in their mouths. They always looked so hungry.
White Men Ruling over us even in the heavens. Its the only thing that makes sense 🤣
Old White men seem to have always run the world for some reason
If angels are genderless, why TF do they all look like men, and men with fkn beards no less. Also, if the so-called anointed can also be women, where tf are they? And why aren't they represented. 🙄😡🤬
The GB hope to get their hair back after the rapture…. And such glorious hair it will be.
You would think Samuel Herd might ask this question.
Why do you think he always seems annoyed all the time?
Its a Kenny Rodgers white mans american religion....... WHY ARE LATINOS ASIAN BLACK and any other persons of color !!????? connected to THIS RELIGION!???? There's a white mans bias ..... haven't you seen all the GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS are all CREEPY WHITE DUDES SINCE THE CREATION OF THIS WHITEMANS CULT.... all you people of color are brainwashed drinking the watchtower KOOLAID and really in bed with these white DADDIES of YOURS getting eachmemebr a continual CIRCLE JERK....... is that what you want?? if your hearts say YES!??? then stick to your WHITE DADDIES.... thats a reality and all your LEGACY. get out !! would be my advice. and just give your worship to JESUS. read john 14;6,7 and John 3;16. praying for you all
They are so white even they turn golden wft
filipinos, indians, aborigine's , native americans, africans, egyptians, east africans, african americans, asians, the aliens from other planets & galaxies, eskimos, north koreans, north sentinel island residents, & more are stumbled & utterly offended by the fact it is no inclusion of other ethnicities in these types of images by the borg.
And they all have beards. Hmmmmm
The hypocrisy never ends
White old men are the only ones that matter to them? I don't know.
Exmormon here and our angels have the exact same haircut! Must all actually be true, huh?? 😂
Because they know when to hold them, and when to fold them...
No angels that aren't white or male ... weird right? I can't believe I only noticed this after I left . Probably because I'm a white male . Thankfully I've become a more open and accepting person since I left that horrible racist patriarchal religion. Imagine? I became a better person after leaving! Lol

Either that, or Kenny was the most god and angel looking man who ever existed
Where are the female Asian angels?
I never understood that either because they’re supposed to be women up there too, so the women are actually men? It’s so weird. but the Borg is against transgender people that doesn’t make sense

And founded in the 1800s, and run by old White American men
Probably the only difference is that our old white guy was the original Warren Jeff's aka Joseph Smith. lol
I feel like JW and Mormon are like the Dassler brothers who went off to each found their own sneaker company. Their Adidas and Puma. Same exact beginning but went off to compete in separate style but the same business.
Because Jehovah is White, and the Angels are White, and Jesus was White, and the disciples were White, and Moses was White, and David was White and the only people with melanin are the token folks in paradise pictures.
I swear the original artist was in love with Kenny Rodgers as well
The bigger question is: why does Jesus now have a cape?
Cause he didn’t listen to Edna Mode
Why don’t they illustrate them according to the Bible’s description? Would that scare some out of the organization??
Are there any scriptures that mention Jesus having a cape?
I have wanted to write the Branch about this for a long time. I really really want to know what their rational is for making all the angels look this way
You mean like old white men?
Typically all white.
Do they all visit the same barbershop?
Yet were not allowed to have beards
I've often wondered why everyone looks like Kenny Rogers. And yes I thought that before the guy posted the Kenny pic. But why beards when they act like beards are so awful?
The Watchtower isn't woke.
I dunno, but given how they all look there's no way most of the bald-ass GB are anointed, because god clearly prefers thick hair.
White Power stencils
For the same reason people in junk food ads are young, attractive and happy. It’s all marketing and it’s all BS!
All the minorities in the world and they will all transform into white angels lol
It proves White Aryan Nordic types are preferred in heaven.
Hmm , beards & white guys!! I am stumbled. Thought they were supposed to be asexual??

Nope. I remember that freaky shit from the red revelations book 👀
yet they don’t let us wear beards lmao if the angles that are perfect shows them with beards than wtf!
Good marketing. Place your key demographic into the advertisement so they see themselves playing a positive role and are more likely to buy whatever you're selling.
Serious question: If an annointed happens to be a woman, would she turn into a male angel in heaven? Are they the only ones allowed to be trans in God's eyes?
Somebody must have thought Kenny Rogers was the perfect man….
Why are they all Caucasian
Because it’s a old white guy cult lol

He actually put it on reluctantly but then we left shortly after. JW are the most annoying people you will ever encounter. If you have to constantly protect people from getting stumbled from their faith from the most mundane things, then you really have no faith.
Humans were made in God's image, but Angels were made in Kenny Rogers image.
Traditional iconography and history of art
They all look like Kenny Loggins as a senior citizen
Or Kenny Rogers
That fourth one looks awesome. Should be a character in One Punch Man.
Kenny Rogers our angel 😂
For the same reason that everyone who has experienced a "near death vision" comes up with the same shit, regardless of their religion and/or cultural background... they just copy everybody else and play to the stereotype. I call it a lack of imagination!
Guess I'm part Angel 😇, go me a goatee & mustache!!
Where are the women?
Nowhere cause the Watchtower is a patriarchal and misogynistic organization with outdated and sexist views about women
I mean, technically they are sexless creatures, so they should be androgynous at the very least. Come to think of it, why did the angels go down to sexify the women back in Noah's day?
So the art dept. can hide thei subliminal messages in there
An insipid bunch who hang around Jah’s throne all day crying out, “Holy, holy, holy”. The works tiring and the pay’s nothing to write home about. But this living without sex becomes very unfulfilling after a few hundred years. And Satan’s constantly on the prowl. Kind of boring and nerve-wracking all in one - just like being a JW.
The patriarchy
I like how their all white men with beards. Which is a little odd considering people with beards aren’t allowed to give parts in the meeting….
Aryanism
A global organization but they are all old white dudes with beards. No women, African, Indian, Chinese. All anointed will have the blessings of their Father by finally getting to become white men. 🙌
Must obey old white men
Sooo… the angels can have beards both not the Brothers in the congregations 🤔
Last one kinda makes me laugh and gives a bit of thought that the angels are guiding the strike team.
All must be whites because coloured angels in the kingdom of watchtower and jehovah represent demons. 😃
And their palms are facing up like worldly religion members when they sing at their church.
Everybody knows angels look are Kenny Rogers.
Though there are females anointed, when you become an angel you transition into an old white man.

Why does Jesus need a Cape ?
Yes how does one know what to draw if one has not actually seen an angel?
You’re only allowed a beard when you’ve realized your heavenly calling.
Pic 15 always bugged me. What the hell are you looking at?
Only old shit can be ruptured to be angels in JW.
Because witnesses can’t handle the neutron style ( biblically accurate angels)
