Is the Watchtower Ultimately a Creation of Fallen Angels?

by Sea Breeze in

a watchtower in ceremonial magical tradition is a tutelary spirit of one of the four cardinal points or quarters (east, south, west and north).

in many magical traditions, they are understood to be enochian angels... originating with the enochian tradition of john dee, a version of it was popularized by the hermetic order of the golden dawn, which became hugely influential in modern western esotericism, including wicca.

the watchtowers are invoked during the ritual of casting a magic circle.. .

Witches are definitely real as is the spirit world

This was brought to my attention as a young Christian. I was taking a speed-reading course at Sir George Williams University. During one of the lessons, as I was speed reading an article on voodoo, the Holy Spirit said to me, "Your teacher is a witch." I looked up at her; she appeared normal, looked to be in her late forties, had a British accent. Nothing abnormal at all.

I couldn't ask her directly in or out of class. But I raised my hand anyway and I told her I was speed-reading an article on voodoo and asked if voodoo had anything do do with witchcraft.

Her response was, "No it doesn't, and I should know because I am a witch!". I immediately pointed my finger at her rather accusitively and declared "I thought you were! There was a gasp as the entire class turned to look at me.

At that point, the teacher, trying to justify what she was, asked me if I thought she was a bad person. I meekly responded that the Bible says there is none good, no not one. She explained that she was a white witch and only cast good spells and asked if I thought she personally was evil. I said the Bible says that the heart is evil and wicked above all things, who can know it?"

Fortunately, she stopped questioning me further, because I had just about run out of human depravity verses.

What's Wrong with the Watchtower?

by Vanderhoven7 in

not sure who wrote this list a while back but i think it is worth a repeat....to be added to or subtracted from or modified...whatever.. what's wrong with the watchtower.

"overlapping generations" - this teaching makes no sense.

the word used by jesus is in the singular, not plural form.. .

Why you need Christmas to understand Easter/Memorial

by Anony Mous in

so i went to a christmas evening candlelight service tonight and it hit me.

i was primarily doing christmas since leaving the jw for the children.

lots of people do it for family without really thinking of the relevance.

Good question Jan, because Jesus was enthroned as king subsequent to His ascension. Neither 1878, no 1914 have anything to do with Christ’s enthronement.
