Interesting that WT Aug 15, 2009 reverences Milton with a photo and caption which seems to implicate that he was "unknowingly" a JW as he held similar beliefs.
The morning star, Venus. In Latin, literally, "light-bearer." Milton consistently associates Venus, Lucifer and the "morning star" in his poetry, and Hesperus, Vesper, and the evening star

Now we are seeing a link between John Milton, Joseph Smith (founder Mormons), Kabbalism (magic and sorcery) and the Watchtower.
quote:
From this period on, Kabbalah has been a major creative force in Western religious and poetic imagination, touching such diverse individuals as Jacob Boehme, John Milton, Emanuel Swedenborg, William Blake, and perhaps Joseph Smith.
