The images are not 'subliminal' in that their presence attempts to sway the [subconscious] thinking of the reader.
However, some images are so clear that they are unmistakable. I think, though, that it ought to be remembered that most of us, indeed 99% of JWs at least, did not recognize anything sinister about "hidden images" in the graphics in question until we were tipped off. I do remember being somewhat disturbed by some of the pictures in the Revelation Climax book when I was 16, but it wasn't until Barefoot's work that I saw the 'hidden' images in it and other publications.
It's hard for me to believe that all of these images are mere coincidence, given that I'm somewhat familiar with the logisitics of Watchtower illustrations. A few might be bad jokes. But there's nothing evil or demonic here.
