Continuation of Demonism in Watchtower. The short video below goes on to explain what Rutherford meant when he said that Angels give messages to the Anointed JWs. This practice of communication with Angels is known as Enochian Magic.

The video goes on to explain what is involved in Enochian Magic and gives reasons as to why the name Watchtower was picked by Russell based on the influence of Enochian Magic as a means to communicate with Angels.

The video also mentions Books written on the Watchtower society, the Masons and Magic what can be found in the CIA website. The video mentions Instances of when satanic images are displayed in JW Publications which is tied to Enochian Magic with some of the images being that of the Watchers. These images are magically charged for the purpose of getting a desired outcome.

The flimsy excuse you see on the internet to explain why a Christian religion will rent a Pagan Temple to use as a place of worship does not fly here. That tactic will never work. Look at the video I attached in the Op. That is an Order of Eastern Star Temple owned by IBSA in the 1920s. Imagine a so called Christian religion going to rent a Buddhist Temple. Haba! Why the same Temple over and over again if not that you agree with the Buddhist beliefs and have no problems in sharing in the rituals that take place there. I have attached a video of what happens in a Masonic Lodge/Hall/Temple. Sacrifices of animals and more serious rituals plus child sexual abuse plus Spiritistic practices take place in their Temples. Then just imagine the legions of Demons and Fallen Angels that stay there. And you see nothing wrong with that? As a Christian, what are you doing there? Do you ever see God telling the Israelites to go to pagan Temples and worship him there? Don't bother to bring this flimsy excuse. That's propaganda.

[quote author=fortunez1 post=136966321][/quote]Don't waste your time about this Renting of halls excuse. It is a very flimsy excuse to give.

So, out of all the halls in the U.S, a so called One True Religion, free from paganism as they claim, kept choosing a Masonic Temple times and times again, chosen by Charles Taze Russell and Rutherford, knowing fully well what takes place there, to be a fitting place of worship? IBSA even had their own Masonic Lodge and Rutherford had no problems with it. Is this what you are trying to tell the public? With all the rituals and bloodshed that take place and the Demons that stay in these Temples, you still chose to use them as place of Worship? A Satanic place? A Pagan Temple? Is that what Jesus asked JWs to do when he selected them as the One True Religion in 1919? Okay, why have JWs stopped attending Masonic Temples if these Temples are no big deal and just for Rent? Why is it that IBSA still attend in Masonic Temples today?

Good question 👍.

Charles Taze Russell (1852–1916), the founder of the Bible Student movement (which later became Jehovah’s Witnesses), is often accused of being a Freemason, but there’s no solid evidence he ever was. Here’s the breakdown:


---

🔎 Why People Think Russell Was a Mason

1. Masonic Symbols on His Grave

Near his burial site in Pittsburgh is a pyramid-shaped monument with Bible inscriptions.

Some claim the pyramid and other imagery are “Masonic,” though pyramids were also widely used by non-Masons in the 19th–20th centuries.



2. His Writings/Illustrations

In some early Watch Tower publications, symbols like the cross and crown, or rays of light, were used. Critics point out similarities to Masonic emblems.



3. Statements About Freemasons

Russell once referred to being a "Free Mason in the true sense" — but when read in context, he was contrasting spiritual freedom in Christ with man-made lodges.





---

📜 What Russell Himself Said

In a 1913 convention speech in Scotland, Russell explicitly denied being a Mason, saying:

> “I am not a Freemason, I have never been a Freemason. I never had anything to do with Masonry.”



He clarified that when he used the term “free mason,” he meant it in a biblical/spiritual sense (being a “free stone” built into God’s spiritual temple, as in 1 Peter 2:5).



---

✅ Conclusion

No historical records (like lodge memberships or Masonic proceedings) list Russell as a Mason.

The Watch Tower Society and Jehovah’s Witnesses strongly distance themselves from Freemasonry, teaching that it’s incompatible with Christianity.

So: The “Russell was a Mason” claim is more conspiracy theory than fact, mainly based on symbols and misinterpretations of his words.
Do you know anything about Freemasonry and how secrecy is upheld in the Cult? Are you expecting someone to come out and reveal their membership just like that when that is not allowed? Do you know the essence of symbolism in Freemasonry? Do you know how Freemasons communicate with symbols? You are busy bringing Google information thinking Google will bring out everything as secretive as a Freemason membership especially if the subject is a leader of a Cult? You have wasted your time copying and pasting lies from the Internet.

For your information, it is too late to deny Charles Taze Russell membership. This is why you JWS don't claim him. You all know his reputation is very bad.

His Freemason membership has already been documented in History books of Cults, in a Lodge located in Ireland which was found by a CIA agent and by Freemasons in the JW cult who have left JW. I also watched a video where a couple were told by a Freemason that the Pyramid tombstone of Charles Taze Russell is already proof that He is a mason, infact, a very high level one. This is why he was very interested in paganism.

Don't waste your time copying and pasting information. It's too late.
Christianity EtcRe: Jehovah's Witnesses Having Meetings In Masonic Lodge In The 1920s by Courz(op): 9:37am On Sep 30, 2025
This next video is about the JW Leader Rutherford exposing how doctrines of JWs are formed. He said when the religion was chosen by Jesus, Jesus took away the Holy Spirit and decided that the mode of communication would be through Angels. Angels have been communicating with the Remnant Anointed JWs. This is not Biblical because Jesus said he will send the Holy Spirit to teach us all we need to know. We all know the kind of Angels Rutherford is referring to just by looking at the many doctrines that have changed and the many False Prophecies he claimed.

Former President of Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Fred Franz, admitted in Court that the JW Bible had to be translated by the means of Angels. We all know how twisted the JW Bible is. We all know that their Bible has several words changed. Now here is Their president admitting that the translation team has to be under the influence of Angels. He said these Angels are the ones Controlling JWs. Wonderful admission here isn't it? Now, you can see where JW Doctrines come from. This is directly from the mouth of JW leaders.


The video also reveals a time JWS were asked to get a Book titled Angels and Women By Charles Taze Russell. When some JWS got the book, they realised that book is actually a dictation from A fallen angel who claims he wants to go back to God. The reply from Russell was that they can go ahead and read the book because it is talking about what happened before the Flood in the Bible. One of the present Governing body members also praised this book and revealed that the book is in the Gilead library in the Bethel headquarters of JW.


This shows that the JW Leaders have no problems with books that come from Fallen Angels because this is their mode of getting doctrines to feed JWS.

The video below explains it all.

The most sincere statement you have made on this forum!

So whatever you feel about God's people can't determine what everyone will do each person has his or her own mind! wink
For as long as God Almighty continues to reveal the darkest secrets of your Cult, I will continue to expose JW as the Bible demands. Your Cult thrives on secrecy just like Satan does. That has stopped. Jesus has decided to step in. All that is hidden will be brought to Light. The darkness doesn't like when light is shone.

The Next series of Videos I will be posting will be about Watchtower and Demonism.

The video below talks about the times when Charles Taze Russell and Rutherford were in the habit of mixing doctrines with Spiritistic practices. Charles Taze Russell promoted a Psychic medium method to determine the personality of a person. Rutherford promoted the use of a device that works like a Ouija board, used to detect illnesses in people's bodies. This device was used at Bethel Headquarters at that time and JWs would line up to be checked by this device. They continued to use this device even though they were aware that it is a Spiritistic device.

One JW Who worked with Rutherford raised alarm to this and Rutherford had him disfellowshipped for refusing to keep quiet about it. The JW then wrote a book titled Demonism and Watchtower to explain his experiences using this device. In the book, he exposed that before he could write JW Publications, he would have to be under the influence of demons.

The Narrator also revealed a time when her congregation invited a so called Doctor that could just look at people's eyes and he could tell what was wrong with them in their bodies.

I did not leave JW cos of anybody's finding. I did my digging myself and decided to leave and leave religion entirely.
Actually, I once presented hard core facts to this your antagonist here and he ran away few years ago. Unless you are a member, there stuff you will never know about them. Guy though I was bluffing until I started pulling out evidence you can never see on the media. But the again, like I said, JW like any other religion has their good and bad side. And all religion are cult. All. So do not single out the witness. Yours have its bad side too
Okay. Since you have decided you want to be quiet, me I will not be quiet. And a host of other EXJWS won't be quiet. Even people who have never been JW yet took it upon themselves to expose JW won't be quiet. Everyone with their choices. As a Christian, I am under obligation to expose Evil. I have lived the JW Life and that's why I have chosen to only focus on them. Other religions are not my business. I have everything I need to know about JW. Because of the gravity of damage JW causes for people, the Satanic nature of the Cult and the amount of evil they hide, I will continue to expose them. You cannot decide for others on what they should do. The Bible says people perish due to lack of knowledge. Satan is running the JW and people have to be warned same way Apostle Paul warned first century Christians about people allowing a different Gospel from the Bible. So, people need to be armed with enough information about JW so they are not caught up with Satan's subtle tactics of deceit. And I will continue to supply such information.

Can you see you don't have anything tangible to explain yourself?

In one of the videos I posted in the first page, Your Watchtower Bible and Tract Society purchased a Theatre purposely designed by Freemasons. There were so many pagan designs in it. They renovated it but kept all the designs and symbols that belong to Freemasonry and one of Magic. Why? Why did they make the decision to buy a Theatre designed by Freemasons? Why is it that wherever Watchtower goes, Freemasonry follows and wherever Freemasonry goes, Watchtower follows?

But Watchtower is running IBSA who are Masons which also makes them Masons. You also have Freemason JWs in your midst. Why? Why is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society boldly engraved on the pyramid with the Masonic symbol on it if they are not Masons? The Pyramid itself is a Masonic monument. Why did they destroy the pyramid tombstone when people began to expose what the tombstone means if truly it is not Charles Taze Russell's Tombstone.

Ọmọ you'll need to write your own Bible because this is what Jesus said regarding IDENTIFYING his true followers:

“Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit. A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit. Every tree not producing fine fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Really, then, by their fruits you will recognize those men." Matthew 7:15-20

It's not their doctrine rather what such a doctrine produces among adherents:

















If you ask Pharisees to talk about Jesus' teachings of course they will condemn it as Satanic but let's wait and see a better performing group than Jesus' disciples in the PREACHING and TEACHING of God's Kingdom in all societies! Matthew 28:1 wink9-20

To be part of God's Kingdom, Jesus must be your Lord and Saviour. This, the JWs reject.
Thank you Jare. Even Demons believe Jesus is God's Son. That's not enough to be a Christian. Your being a Christian will be shown by how accurate your doctrines are with the Bible and what you believe about Jesus.

Thanks for this insight, I will learn more. I have seen many Christian faiths and I am more comfortable with JWs than many of them. I just see JWs as people who are astray in a way. But believe me many are worse. For true Christianity, positive relationship with God is all that matters, thanks for pointing that out. But even many Pentecostal ministries don't teach that.
I know that others will also have their faults. But as Christians, we are meant to have Spirit of discernment. The Bible has warned us to Test the Spirits to see if teachings are from the Holy Spirit or from Demons. Testing the spirit is not allowed in JW. We are not to allow anyone throw us around with every wind of doctrine like the JW Leadership do to JWS. I knew you don't know JWs that well and you are focusing on outward appearance which makes you comfortable with JW. But if you know your Bible well, you can very easily see that JWs are thoroughly deceived and you won't be a part of their agenda. They preach a completely different Gospel from Christianity, something Apostle Paul warned against. This is why they have a very high rejection rate when they go to preach outside. The deceit is deliberate because their Leaders are taking them to an unknown destination. You don't want to be there. Arm yourself with enough information about JW so that you are strong in the Faith. The JW religion has a different agenda which is why they had the audacity to change and twist words in their Bible. Stay away from this Cult for your own good. If you join but later decide you want to Leave, you will be punished and your reputation will be destroyed because this is how Cults behave. How to know a Cult is to find out what happens to you when you choose to disagree with them and Leave.
