I have noted the back and forth discussions on this group, the GDHO of the 3rd Era (aka Holy Order or, Simply, Temple), and wish to make my contribution. Who am I? I am a son of members of the group (my late parents). I went to the Temple with my parents as any obedient child would, trusting their decision on the matter of faith in God. They had become members in the late 60s (although they have been Protestants). They, like many became members, to overcome the problems of life and enjoy protection from enemies by the power of God. They were introduced to the organisation by a high rank member of the group. My parents were sincere and devout, people of high moral standing, disciplined and loving. Characteristics that fit many of the members. Sometime, not long after we became members, as a boy of about 10 years, I prayed to God inside the Temple dedicating my life to Him. No one asked me to. I did it with my free will and God, seeing the sincerity of the heart of a boy, answered my heartfelt prayer. He began by getting me to read the Bible. To my surprise I soon discovered inconsistencies between what the Bible says and the doctrine and practices of the Order! I shared these with my father, but I never got any satisfying answers. Many times I was put down for daring to query what the Order stood for. Some of these unbiblical issues have been well documented in previous discussions in the Forum. I noted that members of the discussion forum who identified themselves as belonging to the order failed to directly respond to unbiblical doctrine and practices of the group raised by the 'opposition'. The purpose is not to smear the group, but to state my findings and observations. Some of these may be out of date, as the Order has, over the years, tried to modify / adjust few things in response to people's concerns (members and non members alike) and the inevitable changes that go with a modern / postmodern world. However, although some practices apparently have changed, I don't think the core doctrines have. 1. Membership is not open to all. You must meet some criteria: a) Be a Yoruba man. b) Be referred by a member. c) Formally apply d) The 'Holies' must approve your membership after applicants' names have been submitted for 'divine' assessment. Not all wanting membership can get it. 2. Members are still allowed to retain membership of other church organisations (I don't know if Muslims and other non Christians can be members). Non members can't enter worship sites. 3. Worship day is Saturday. They call it Sabbath. Twice, 6 in the morning and 6 in the evening. Daily personal prayer sessions takes place in a cubicle or some special room, out of bound to others. On the Sabbath, you come in mufti, remove and do ablutions (similar to that of Muslims) and put on white flowing garments without footwear. The sexes are separated. Men (High Priest and Priests) conduct service inside some secluded space. They face the east. Worship on mats. Worshippers kneel and bow to the ground (Muslim way). At the end of service the priests emerge to give Report authored / signed by some angel(s). 4. Special trainings and initiations are done for cohorts of members. 5. Special programmes e.g. Aniversary take place in the year, Old Testament fashion with sacrifices. 6. Doctrine is essentially syncretic. Mixture of Bible OT practices and black magic. Invocation of angelic beings. A large image of a single eye is on the wall facing worshippers. Mary is adored and celebrated yearly. Bible is not a major book of doctrine and practice but Angelic Reports. Belief in salvation by good works and reincarnation. Prayers in Jesus name is not the rule. Many times sing common Protestants' hymns. Polygamy is accepted. 7. Very few branches exist. The GDHO is a semi secret religious group consisting of many sincere God seeking members held down by powerful angelic forcnes and spirit of divination. The Sun god and the Single Eye (= Baal and Ashteroth) are the objects of worship. May God help members see through the deceptions and know the TRUTH that truly sets free - Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God who shed His blood for ALL. 4 Likes 1 Share |

How come in this era of social media. This secret society has not been bursted? It is purely an eveil and demonic (deadly) as some people has stated here. I got to hear about them after a friend recounted how she almost got married to a member. We Christians need to wake up, and destroy the enemies of Jesus Christ the ONLY savior of the world! |

Ogilinsaka: Lol at destroying the enemies of Jesus. When did we start fighting for Christ? |
