I mentioned this stuff before on this forum and immediately got accused of believing in human lizards or some other irrelevant non-sense. So, what will follow will be comments about lizards.

Here's what the Masons have to say about Jehovah
by NikL inmy grandfather was a 32nd degree mason.. my parents ended up with one of his books called "morals and dogma" published by the masons.. i remember looking through it years ago and seeing multiple mentions of jehovah.. as it turns out, it's in the public domain on project gutenberg and is there fore searchable.. found this interesting in light of chuck russell's alleged mason connection.. it says about jehovah and the divine name.... whether the legend and history of this degree are historically true, or but an allegory, containing in itself a deeper truth and a profounder meaning, we shall not now debate.
if it be but a legendary myth, you must find out for yourself what it means.
it is certain that the word which the hebrews are not now permitted to pronounce was in common use by abraham, lot, isaac, jacob, laban, rebecca, and even among tribes foreign to the hebrews, before the time of moses; and that it recurs a hundred times in the lyrical effusions of david and other hebrew poets..

Crisis of Conscience - The Movie
by cedars ini know... how cool would that be??!.
having just commented on the post by trailerfitter about the situation with his wife, and how i have personally found the book crisis of conscience by ray franz to be the perfect antidote to the society's perception of itself as being god's earthly organisation, the thought occurred to me: what if there was a movie about ray franz and his life?
obviously the society would be in uproar, and letters would be read out to all congregations all over the world not to go and see it, but just imagine!

What Were Your Elders Real World Jobs?
by pale.emperor inwe all know that education is severely demonized in this religion.
and that the elders are appointed based on how many meetings they attend, hours they put in on the ministry and general attitude to other elders (as apposed to, you know, actual theological training and counseling) - so my question is, what were your elders occupations outside the kingdom hall?.
in my old congregation our elders consisted of:.

Satanic Voodoo & the 2016 Special Convention in Puerto Rico
by Calebs Airplane inhttps://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5635268717576192/puerto-rico-special-convention-2016-video.
voodoo originated in haiti during the french colonial period.
it was based on a tribal religion somewhere in west africa (possibly the kingdom of dahomey) and was brought to haiti by african slaves in the 17th century.

Voodoo originated in Haiti during the French Colonial Period. It was based on a tribal religion somewhere in West Africa (possibly the Kingdom of Dahomey) and was brought to Haiti by African slaves in the 17th century. The word “Voodoo” is derived from the word “vodu” of the Dahomey language and generally means spirit or god. Since Haiti was isolated during much of its early history, the Voodoo religion eventually developed its own unique traditions and became more Satanic during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The use of singing, drumming and dancing during Haitian voodoo rituals later evolved into several other musical genres and traditions throughout the Caribbean, such as the “Bomba y Plena” which is played primarily during Christmas time in Puerto Rico. So I find it strange that this music and dance would be played at the 2016 Special Convention to welcome visitors from around the world, including Governing Body Member Mark Sanderson.

Whomever was in charge of planning this Special Convention obviously failed to do their homework. The music that was being played throughout this convention was “Bomba y Plena” which is derived from music that was played by enslaved Africans in Haiti during their satanic rituals in the 18th and 19th century, especially when practicing voodoo.
Also, this music (along with the costumes, the food being served, etc.) are all associated with Christmas in Puerto Rico. In fact, you will likely not hear this music, see these costumes, or even eat some of these foods during any other time of the year.
So this is all very puzzling to me.
