Btw. Haitian local customs have nothing to do with official Catholic doctrines and worship practices.
Yes, that is how all of the hypocritical religious institutions work.
The Catholic Church, the modern Judaism groups, the Muslim organizations, the Hindu temples, the Buddhist centers, the Watchtower HQ, the LDS hierarchies...they're all that way.
There is one public-facing published "official doctrine" and then there is what really happens.
"Satan is the ruler of the world."
He's the head of all those religious organizations. "The Supreme Architect of The Universe" that is superimposed over the earth at present.
Satan slanders Jehovah by means of weaving lies about Him into various religious practices. The Bible figuratively depicts this "empire" as "Babylon the Great."
Masons build empires. Anything not built on the rock-mass is being shaken and swept away. It will not continue to stand.
What Alexander Hislop wrote or what any church publishes about their own official doctrine makes no difference to the one who has been assigned to carry out Jehovah's judgments. That court case already took place in heaven, and Jesus has been assigned to see that the things decided upon in heaven take place here on the earth.
Jehovah always sends a warning first by means of His servants the prophets.
The servants of Pharaoh who put faith in the words of Jehovah's messenger got out of the way of the next plague.
The servants of Pharaoh who refused to listen suffered loss when that time of "woe" arrived.
"Get out of her, my people!"
All of Jehovah's judgments will be carried out. If you are part of the Watchtower affiliated masonic group, you would be wise to withdraw from that organization ASAP.
It is the judgment of Jehovah. Everyone will know the things taking place in the darkness as the light gets brighter.
