I'm sure "Stampy" has been around here in one form or another.
Yeah. I think it's the sixteenth incarnation, if I haven't left any out. Just goes to show that no one is really ever banned here.
Welcome.
The wt and the Occult are bed buddies from the start.
Look around here, there are a lot of great threads on the subject.
Leaning to fly,
I do not know what you think I have said. I am not commenting in a disparaging way regarding anything that other members have said. I am only adding my two cents worth. I welcome yours. I still do not see the connection that has been inferred in the first post. I am a bit of a Columbo fan who likes to stick with the facts when drawing conclusions. I knew a few former masons who did not try to hid their former involvement in masonic society. I also knew former Catholics in the JW's.
I refuse to believe that either the Masonic Order or the Catholic Church would claim the JW's as being kindred spirits.
I hope I have not pissed you off in any way. If I did , I am very sorry and it was not my intention. Friends ?

It's ok Siamsa, I took your words wrong.. I guess I am just slightly moody today. Perhaps its another day I should refrain from being here.
Friends..

Learning to fly,
Thanks mate. My feet can be a bit big at times and especially when others bare toes are concerned .
This forum is all new to me and because I had already found my way through the fog unaided. I am only looking with interest at others experiences of the JW's and trying to be helpful.
Remember this. You have nothing to fear but fear itself. Do not let it be your master or it will make you its slave.
Any religion that thrives on fear is evil personified.

Re: the cross/crown symbol, I was thinking it was originally the Rosicrucians, but a quick google showed it started with the Knights Templar... all of which are "secret societies" along with the Masons who have a two-tiered society, similar to WT: the "mysterious men in the ivory tower" vs. the lower peons. Ditto for the Masons. Most of the lower-level Masonic-peons don't have a clue what goes on with the top-level members. They are used and lied to, just to provide a "do-gooder front" for the org. Sound familiar? ;-)
Also just like WT, Masons are "groomed" (brainwashed) and depending on their attitude to the whole game, they are "chosen" to enter the upper levels. But you have to definitely show you are a "yes man" to make it that far.

abbagail,
Yes men will always rise to near the top in any organisation. Brain washing and grooming takes place in the military, insurance companies and most brands of religion. This practice tends to prove that 'different' religions are in fact the same when one examines their methods.
I do not see the difference in any religion, Christian or otherwise. I see good people who are members of diverse and perverse religions. I see sincere persons who believe that they are right and every one else is wrong.
In real life anyone who adopted an attitude that they were always right in the absence of evidence to support their attitude would be described as delusional. Throw religion into the mix and any thing is believable and millions will believe anything including that which cannot be proved or should not be believed.
What I find irrational ( although understandable) on this site is that persons who have thrown of the shackles of their former slave master are willing to try on shackles belonging to other slave masters for size. The same thought processes that caught the slaves in the first place will catch them all over again. Do not fill that empty feeling or hole in your life with Sh!tE that is thrown in front of you at an opportune moment.
Weakness comes from within..........and so does strength.
Who cares whether or not the Masons are running the JW's ? What difference should it / will it make to your life ? Why poke through Watchtower Sh1tE to see what they were eating years ago?
Use your nose and keep moving away from the smell and the shackles. If it looks like Sh1tE and it smells like Sh1tE you dont have to taste it to find out that it is Sh1tE!.
That is the suspicion that the Watchtower society is in fact an offshoot of free masonry and the Governing Body a front obscuring the real interests behind this corporation that masquerades as a religion.
That the JW cult was funded into existence by the Judeo masons to serve their interests.
