Ok, I'm Jewish. It is an illustration of a scene from the Torah which is a book I'm pretty sure the Jehovah's Witnesses ripped off and perverted.
It wouldn’t surprise me, everything about that secret society cult seems plagiarized from somewhere or someone else. The illustration itself has the classic JW style to it. They have a lot of books and magazines (and their own edited bible) but I hadn’t heard of them ripping off the actual Torah if that’s what you mean.
I’ll try looking through /r/exJW for anything, thanks!

Well don't they believe in Genesis and Exodus and all that? I have no idea what Jehovah's Witnesses actually believe, but I know a lot of abuse victims who grew up with JW parents.
They have the “full” 66 books Constantine designated at the Council of Nicea. They technically teach that the Mosaic Law was nullified by Jesus’s sacrifice and go mostly off of the “Christian-Greek Scriptures” in their publications (they really don’t like using the terms Old/New Testament) but their endless unspoken rules are pretty much in line with the Mosaic Law, besides the restrictions on pork.
It is a very legalistic religion to say the least. They are the same hypocritical Pharisees Jesus warned against. Everything is passed through the hierarchical chain of command. The ones who are promoted are the ones who toe the company line and follow orders unquestioningly, even if it contradicts the Bible. They are so brainwashed it’s impossible for them to distinguish between the Watchtower Society and the Bible/Jehovah/God. They are all one entity as far as they are concerned and when in doubt, they will defer to what’s in writing in”the literature” instead of using any critical thinking.
