For any who are not sure, please read Colossians 1. It's short.

9 Because of this, since the day we heard about you, we haven’t stopped praying for you and asking for you to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, with all wisdom and spiritual understanding. 10 We’re praying this so that you can live lives that are worthy of the Lord and pleasing to him in every way: by producing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God; 11 by being strengthened through his glorious might so that you endure everything and have patience; 12 and by giving thanks with joy to the Father. He made it so you could take part in the inheritance, in light granted to God’s holy people. 13 He rescued us from the control of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. 14 He set us free through the Son and forgave our sins.

Who is Lucifer? "the morning star, the planet Venus" (or, as an adjective, "light-bringing"); literally "bringer of dawn", for the morning star; "daystar"; "shining one"; "shining star"

For Luciferians, enlightenment is the ultimate goal. They prize the wonders of nature and seek to connect with the natural world and the universe that humans inhabit, in order to move humankind forward through both physical and social evolution. Luciferian principles highlight truth and freedom of will, worshipping the inner self and one’s ultimate potential as opposed to bowing to the rules of a supernatural entity. Traditional dogma is shunned as a basis for morality on the grounds that humans should not need deities or fear of eternal punishment to distinguish right from wrong and to do good. Instead, they believe that humans should accept who and what they are, the good and the flaws alike, and should seek first and foremost to better themselves and to expand knowledge and understanding, both on a personal level and on a worldwide scale. All ideas should be tested before being accepted, and even then one should remain skeptical because knowledge and understanding are fluid. The ongoing search for truth is paramount. In whatever incarnation Lucifer is viewed, whether theistic or atheistic, whether thought of as Prometheus defying the gods to bring fire to makind, or Satan giving Eve the apple, allowing humans to think for themselves and to move beyond their childlike beginnings, he is a representation of ultimate knowledge and exploration: humanity’s savior and a champion for continuing personal growth.

The tradition, influenced by Gnosticism , usually reveres Lucifer not as the Devil, but as a liberator or guiding spirit [60] or even the true god as opposed to Jehovah . [61]

The Watchtower Penitentiary

by stuckinamovement in

jw
friends

learning the truth about the watchtower society can be very painful for a number of reasons.

first, it is so disconcerting to realize that the core of your existence and the foundations of your beliefs are false that it can throw you for a real loop.

as witnesses we are so confident in all of the answers we have been given, to questions that we never asked, that we mentally put ourselves up on a pedestal above the masses of poor, blind, wicked humanity.

Mind Control - The Mechanics of Mind Control - Tools For Awakening

Hi-quality at: http://www.drjoesvideo.com This facinating 2 hour lecture will keep you on the edge of your seat and mind in understanding the mechanisms of your mind and the implications of applying this information to the current awakening that is happening in human consciousness.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=127BR5b8Hm4&feature=endscreen

It starts out a little slow but the info this video shares is mind blowing (in an amazingly good way.) If there ever was a way to overcome the pain and anguish of the effects of an insidious cult, this is it.

we are pleased to announce that arrangements are being made for all baptized and unbaptized publishers who read and write english, along with their minor children, to be invited to locations where they can hear the 2013 annual meeting program that will be presented on saturday, .

I'm thinking some will interpret this as the much anticipated signal that the END HAS COME!!! They will expect special instructions for the great crowd to flee from the wrath of Jehovah.

How many former Jehovah's Witnesses bury their head in the sand when it comes to reasoning about the NGO "conspiracy"?

by Change Name in

hi all - sure sure, you can call me a troll or brainwashed cult member.

i am totally interested in how your answers to these questions.. .

do you find yourself ignoring anything that jehovah's witnesses bring out in regards to their former status as an ngo?.

Wholly

Hey Change Name,

Did the WTBTS teach that the UN specifically was identified as the Great Beast in Revelations? Did the WTBTS specifically teach that we are to be no part of the world? Did the WTBTS specifially teach that we should be no part of Satan's System of Things?

My memory may not be accurate. Please verify these questions for me.

Faith In Action DVD... A tribute to Freemasons

by Alfred in

very few people actually know this but the watchtower dvd faith in action is actually a tribute to freemasonry.

this dvd presents illustrations of several famous freemasons such as john coustos (a portuguese grand master from lisbon circa 1740).

the dvd actually presents two illustrations of coustos being tortured by the clergy while the anonymous narrator denounces historic abuse from the clergy.

Obviously I'm new here as you can see by my join date and post count so I have no idea whom the other members commenting in this thread think you are or what history you have here. Clearly you have a message to share but I don't really understand what it is. You said you would answer worthy questions. I don't know if this is a worthy one but you can be the judge of that.

Are there guardian angels who protect individual humans? If so, why?
