Of Special Interest To Jehovah's Witnesses
"When Jesus Christ said, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free," He was referring to those persons possessed by the spirit of the one, true God, YHVH; not the spirit of Janus, the god for whom the revelation of the truth is but an arcane tool for the enslavement of mind and spirit. This is the essence of the Revelation of the Method of human alchemy." ~ Michael A. Hoffman II
"Ayn Rand (Alisa Rosenbaum) made one of the seven deadly sins (greed) a virtue. She was Alan Greenspan's mentor. She was certainly evil." ~ Michael A. Hoffman II, in email reply to "Textbook of Americanism"
For any and all deceivers, "truth is but an arcane tool for the enslavement of mind and spirit".

Update: Congregator has been banned by the e-JW forum. "Your member account at e-Jehovah's Witnesses... has been suspended." Watchman stated "Congregator has been banned". The account will not be functional for 1 year until October 20, 2007.
My argument is that any and all organized efforts to discover/present truth are doomed to fail due to infiltration by "workers of lawlessness". Community is Satan's method of organization against Jehovah and his annointed One. Community is fostered and protected in every organization, and that includes Internet Forums. This is self evident from the outworking of "The Plan".

"In Arabian and Muslim folklore jinns are ugly and evil demons having supernatural powers which they can bestow on persons having powers to call them up. In the Western world they are called genies." ~ Jinn, by Alan G. Hefner
My Statement on being banned from the e-JW forum:
The forum rules state that 2 warnings are allowed. However, no warnings were ever given.
I must assume therefore that if I didn't violate any forum rules, then I was banned for other reasons.
Watchman's complete statement posted in the topic "Long and Tedious Posts:
"Okay, I just rolled on down and finished reading this thread. What a waste of time and energy has gone into this. And for what? I try to be moderate and open and welcoming and tolerant to diverse views and all, sometimes it is just not worth it.
Congregator has been banned."
One of those diverse views was this quote which appeared in one of my posts:
1934 -- The Externalization of the Hierarchy by Alice A. Bailey is published. Bailey is an occultist, whose works are channeled from a spirit guide, the Tibetan Master [demon spirit] Djwahl Kuhl. Bailey uses the phrase "points of light" in connection with a "New Group of World Servers" and claims that 1934 marks the beginning of "the organizing of the men and women... group work of a new order... [with] progress defined by service... the world of the Brotherhood... the Forces of Light... [and] out of the spoliation of all existing culture and civilization, the new world order must be built." ~ A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER, by D.L. Cuddy, Ph.D., Arranged and Edited by John Loeffler
Another one of my comments which raised some hackles was a response to digital_punk's heavy New Age accent: "Combining words like, "Spirit, Spiritual, Christ, Life Force Energy, Love and Truth" with colorful art is so disgustingly New Age."
This was taken as a personal attack on the man.

digital_punk's reply:
...in defence of Bro Conregator, he doesnt study the writings of Alice Bailey. In fact, from his opinion of anything New Age (which, BTW, Alice Bailey is one of Theosophys 'Lights'. Theosophy is the ultimate form of New Age paradigm), he is disgusted by it, which is a good thing. I dont think the link was intended as being a means of showing where he gets his information from, but rather, whats going on from the dark perspective. Though, it wasnt really good to post the link.
IMG:
However, posting links is not allowed without permission. I didn't request permission, and I DID NOT POST A LINK, but I appreciate the "defence" Bro. Beau. I was not offended by any of your comments, and I feel that an apology would imply that I was, and would therefore be inappropriate.
Since I was not banned for any infraction of the rules, I can only conclude that it was because of non-conformance to the will of the majority. The collective (hive) mentality therefore is holding sway over this forum.
"Congregater. Without actually revealing the private conversation that we had, only you will understand me when I can state to you that you unwittingly showed that given the chance you would use superior knowledge to enslave other people to do your will……… Who is the Crank man now ?? ~ Jinnvisible Because you have made a publicly bogus point based on the private conversation I'll actually reveal it so that everyone may understand.

Whether you are associated with or considering becoming associated with the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, or if you know someone who is a Jehovah's Witness, you will find the information on this page to be most informative.
Jehovah's Witnesses took their name from the Bible book of Isaiah, Chapter 43, verse 12 where it reads, "I declared, and I saved, and I proclaimed; and there is not an alien god among you. And you are My witnesses, says Jehovah, and I am God." - Jay P. Greene's Literal Translation.
While this may indeed have been true at some time, the problem with it is that "alien gods" have infiltrated, and organizationally, they no longer conform to that high standard. I was associated with the Society for over twenty years which were some of the most productive years of my life. They were not so happy due to numerous personal and family problems plus problems in my relationship to the organization, but I have no regrets for the experience. I feel that I have grown in knowledge, wisdom and understanding of many things, in part from that experience.
I developed close friendships with many wonderful people within the organization. On the other hand, there were people whom I associated with several times a week (there are five meetings) who barely had time to speak, and I always found that to be a little disturbing. For example, I would start to say a greeting to someone, and almost before I could get a word out, they would say "fine, how are you," and quickly move on without a care for what I was going to say. That kind of automated robotic response always struck me as so insincere. But we were for the most part working people, so we were all tired by meeting time.
I have no general disagreement with their teachings, and one of my objectives here is to debunk some of the lies which are so widely believed by people who have no firsthand knowledge. To a large degree, the biggest lies are propagated by disgruntled people who either left for personal reasons, or were dis-fellowshipped for various infractions of conduct. Others have no firsthand experience, but simply hate the idea of a supreme God, and especially they seem to hate the name Jehovah, although it appears nearly 7000 times in the original Bible texts.
John Kaminsky says that "Catholics, Jews, and Christians — George W. Bush, for one — actually worship the devil". Now how could I argue with that? Of course, my argument would not question the truth of the statement if only the words are considered. However, in the context in which they are used, and this is how Kaminsky sees it, it says that Jehovah is in fact the Devil. That is a false assumption because it is based on lies, some of which he believes. The reasoning goes like this: all Jews and Christians worship the God of Abraham, and President Bush is a Christian, so logically then, Jehovah is the Devil. Kaminsky believes the first part which is not necessarily true, and he accepts Bush's claim of being a Christian, which by all appearances is not true. This is just one example of the twisted logic which reflects such hatred for the name of Jehovah.
I haven't spoken about this to very many people, only a few close family members. My years of association had alienated the greater part of my family and consequently they had become quite distant even when in close proximity. Yet they all expected me to accept their religion simply because it was the family tradition. I recently decided that I needed to go public with this information, because I can no longer allow people to believe I am associated with Jehovah's Witnesses, nor can I keep them wondering any longer about my spiritual motivations.
- On the 25th of September 2006, I made my first post on the e-Jehovahs-witnesses.com forum. The parent site for the forum is e-Watchman.com which is operated by someone who calls himself Robert King.
- On the 26th, after about 10 or so posts, the next post was not moderated, which means that no one would ever see it.
- On the 27th, I made 4 or 5 more posts, and none of them were moderated.
- On the 28th, I realized that the previous days post would not be moderated. I wrote two E-mails. As I was starting on the second one, I logged in and discovered that my membership privileges had been suspended, I assume, because I can still log in. I haven't tried to post, and don't care to at this point.
- On the 29th, I wrote this E-mail which includes copies of the previous two.
This forum has rules, and one of them is that new members don't have access to any direct contact with other members. One of the consequences is that I was not able to receive notices of any kind relating to replies to my posts among other things concerning the forum operation. It was sort of like fishing in the dark with no light. Another factor is that posts are heavily moderated for new members, and it seems to take about twenty four hours to get something posted which suggests to me that it has to be approved by a committee.
The Site Guidelines make this statement:
Violation of a site policy/guideline may result in one of the following:
Warning (two warnings are allowed, and are accumulative)a
Suspension of posting privileges (may or may not be temporary, at the discretion of the board owner)
Banning of user (permanent, at the discretion of the board owner)
I had not received any warning nor any communication of any kind (they do have my email address).
Now on the 29th It is late in the afternoon (3:44) and silence is my reply so far to all these questions.
September 30, 2006: I received this message at 7:11 AM:
Congregator,
Administrator has sent you this email from e-jehovahs-witnesses.com.
We have decided to go ahead and lift the temporary posting restriction that we placed on your account. However, posts will continue to be moderated, and "Newbie" restrictions will continue as they were.
