THE SYMBOL OF THE WINGED SUN

To quote from Wikipaedia

"The winged sun is a symbol (sometimes known asBehedeti, a name of Horus) associated withdivinity, royalty and power in the Ancient Near East (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and Persia).

The symbol has also been found in the records of ancient cultures residing in various regions of

South America as well as Australia.

Ancient Egyptian useIn Ancient Egypt, the symbol is attested from the Old Kingdom (Sneferu, 26th century BC), oftenflanked on either side with a uraeus. In early Egyptian religion, the symbol Behedeti representedHorus of Edfu, later identified with Ra-Harachte. It is sometimes depicted on the neck of Apis,

the bull ofPtah. As time passed (according to interpretation) all of the subordinated gods ofEgypt were considered to be aspects of the sun god, including e.g. Khepri."

"Winged Sun of Thebes" (fromEgyptian Mythology and Egyptian ChristianitybySamuel Sharpe, 1863).

"Mesopotamia and the Levant

From roughly 2000 BC, the symbol spread to the Levant and to Mesopotamia.It appears in reliefs with Assyrian rulers and in Hieroglyphic Anatolian as a symbol for royalty,transcribed as SOL SUUS (literally, "his own self, the Sun", i.e., "His Majesty").

as a symbol in Alchemy: a winged sun hovers over a sepulchre filled withwater (fromRosary of the Philosophers)."

Now another eye opener ...

An abominable image inside the Vatican. The satanic symbol of Baal or Horus (this time without wings).(Notice the similarity with the idol of Egypt below).

Fig. 38: Sun-Worship in EgyptFrom MAURICE's Indian Antiquites, vol. iii. p. 309. 1793 (The Two Babylons, by Alexander Hyslop, page151).

The sun god is nothing but an idol, whether it has wings or not.

The Psalmist King David rightly wrote :

"Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of mens hands.They have mouths, but they speak not:eyes have they, but they see not:They have ears, but they hear not:noses have they, but they smell not:They have hands, but they handle not:

feet have they, but they walk not:neither speak they through their throat.They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every one thattrusteth in them." -Psalm 115:4-8.


5/27

It seems that just as Israel, (when straying from YAHWEH) called a golden calf Jehovah, theWatchtower used the winged sun symbol (the representation of Horus, Sol, Baal, Solsuus, Behedetior whatever it is, from pre -Christian idolatrous religions) on their literature, and would probablyuse Malachi 4:2 to Christianize it, just like the Freemasons use the same verses & arguments tomake it out as something that is non Satanic.

In the next few exhibits, it is clearly demonstrated that the Watchtower has occult connections.It even placed the symbol of the winged sun on not just one book, but on many books.

Charles Taze Russell was obsessed with the winged sun `god` symbol (As you will see in furtherexhibits). Note the Winged disk on the covers of these book advertisements below - inside the smalleroblongs).

The "winged sun-disk" is a symbol originating in Assyria and Egypt and has been used by

a variety of groups such as Freemasonry, Spiritists, Theosophy, the Rosicrucians and of

course the International `Bible` Students Association (now known as the Watchtower

Society). This symbol has been called by numerous names such as the winged globe, wingedsolar- disk, sun's disc, etc. This symbol was placed on numerous Bible Student material including

editions of Russell's Studies in the Scriptures from about 1911 to 1920. Under Rutherford'sleadership this symbol was eliminated from JW literature as it was viewed as being like thePyramid & it was Satanic, they said.

Origins and Use of the Winged Sun-DiskThis symbol apparently originated with the Assyrians but is most identified with the Egyptians.

It is a ubiquitous symbol found in numerous forms on temples, etc. in Egypt . What exactly

is it? What does it symbolize? What was it used for?

In the bookPractical Egyptian Magic by Murray Hope it is said about this symbol and its

use in Egypt:"Emblematic of the element of air, this consists of a circle or solar-type disk enclosed by a pairof wings. In ritual magic it is suspended over the alter in an easterly direction and used when

invoking the protection and co-operation of the sylphs."{Hope, Murry,Practical Egyptian Magic(New York: St. Martin's Press), 1984 p. 107. Quoted by Fritz Springmeier, The Watchtower & the Masons,1990, 1992 pp. 113, 114}.

A Masonic reference work describes it this way:"... the Winged-Disk, with the Uraei of Egypt, the original of which we find in the

text summarized by Naville in the "Myths of Horus," pII. xii. ff.:&endash; "horus

commanded Thoth that the Winged-Sun-Disk, with Uraei, should be brought intoevery sanctuary wherein he dwelt, and into every sanctuary of all the gods of thelands of the South and the North, and in Amentet, in order that they might driveaway evil from therein...." This is what is meant by the Winged-Disks, with theUraei, which are seen over the entrances of the courts of the temples of all the gods

and goddesses of Egypt.

{Churchwald, Albert, The Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man,... (London: George Allen & Co., Ltd.) 1913

p. 344. From a photo copy in Springmeier, p. 114}.

Other occultic groups lay claim to the symbol and its use.

A Rosicrucian reference work says this:"The Winged Globe is pre-eminently a Rosicrucian symbol, although the Illuminatimay lay claim to it, and it may be admitted that it is of Egyptian origin. TheWinged Globe is the symbol of the perfected soul making its flight back to thesource of its creation in the Elysian fields beyond."

{Swinburne, Clymer, The Rosicrucians Their Teachings (Quakertown, PA.: The Philosophical Pub. Co.), 1923

p. 112. Quoted by Springmeier, p. 115}.


11/27

Along with the sun as the so-called " great fire-god", the serpent was connected.

Owen says:"In the mythology of the primitive world, the serpent is universally the symbol of

the sun". (Owen, apud Davies's Druids, in note, p. 437).

"In Egypt the commonest sign of the sun, or sun-god, is a disc with a serpent around it."(Bunsen, Hieroglyphics, Vol. 1, p. 497).

"The original reason for the connection of the serpent with the sun appears to have been that,as the physical world receives its light from the sun, so the serpent was held to have been the

great enlightener of the spiritual world, by giving mankind the knowledge of good and evil. This,of course, like all idolatry, is an absolute perversion of the truth; but it serves to identify the sun-

god with Satan."

{The Golden Age, May 25, 1921 p. 506}.

With this identification of the symbol with Satan the Society stopped putting it on its

literature.

Copies of the Studies in the Scriptures for example starting appearing having a different cover

design and did not have the symbol on it. WHY?

Was that an attempt of the Watchtower implementing Damage Control?

An example of Damage Control

In theAwake! magazine ofDecember 22, 1976the Society printed an article on idolatroussymbols on page 15. In this article they took a rare moderate position on the subject.

They said the following after reviewing several images or "decorations" that have pagan

religious roots:

"With so many different designs having been used in false worship, if a person wentto the trouble and took the time he might find an undesirable connection with

almost every design he sees around him. But why do that? Would it not beneedlessly upsetting? And is that the best use of one's time and attention? "

However, if the design or symbol had a clearly understood idolatrous (false religious)

meaning, Christians were to avoid it:

"If a particular design or shape is commonly understood where you live to be a

religious symbol, there is good reason to avoid it."[ ibid].

One of these religious symbols connected with a pagan god mentioned and illustrated in the

article was of the "Winged Disk" of Egypt.


12/27

What is the significance of Russell's introducing without explanation the Winged-

Sun-Disk on his publications? I guess this depends on what significance it had for him!

The Winged sun symbol has various occult and religious meanings. What did any of

these have to do with Russell's use of it? If Russell was a Mason and used it because

of this, what would this mean? It would mean that he is an apostate & occultist.

Rutherford put an end to its use by the Bible Students because of some of these

occult (Satanic they would say) connections.Was this a move in the right direction?I guess the Watchtower Society would say it is "light getting brighter & brighter unto the

perfect day."

REAL CHRISTIANITY, HOWEVER DOES NOT WORSHIP THE SUN IN THE SKY,OR IMAGES OF THE SUN AS a `god` or use these occult symbols. (Exodus 20:3-5; 1Thess 1:9-10).

God is described to be like "a sun & a shield" in Psalm 84:11 (for He is our light & our protector), and he isdescribed as the "Sun of righteousness" which shall arise "with healing in His wings" in Malachi 4:2-3 , for when the

real Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth with the clouds, every eye shall see Him & the whole sky shall be lit up(Matthew 24:27; Revelation 1:7-8). He will return with his saints (those who are saved) to judge. (Jude 14-15).

I can't think of a legitimate use of sun images for those professing to be followers of

JESUS!

However, remember God`s Word in Jeremiah 10:1-2, "Hear ye the word which the LORD speakethunto you, O house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be notdismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. "

"Forasmuch as [there is] none like unto thee, O LORD; thou [art] great, and thy name is great inmight. Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch asamong all the wise [men] of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, [there is] none like unto thee. Butthey are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock [is] a doctrine of vanities.Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman,and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they [are] all the work of cunning[men. ] But the LORD [is] the true God, he [is] the living God, and an everlastingking: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide hisindignation." -Jeremiah 10:6-10

Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, [even]

they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens ." Jeremiah 10:11.

"Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen." -1John 5:21

Charles Taze Russell, The Knights Templar & The Freemasons.

Who Were The Knights Templars?From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Latin:Pauperescommilitones Christi Templique Solomonici), commonly known as the Knights Templar or the

Order of the Temple (French: Ordre du Temple orTempliers), were among the most famous of

the Western Christian military orders. (Malcolm Barber, The New Knighthood: A History of theOrder of the Temple. Cambridge University Press, 1994. ISBN 0-521-42041-5.)

The organization existed for approximately two centuries in the Middle Ages.

Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church around 1129, the Order became a favoredcharity throughout Christendom, and grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights,

in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units

of the Crusades. (The History Channel,Decoding the Past: The Templar Code, 7 November 2005,video documentary written by Marcy Marzuni).

Non-combatant members of the Order managed a large economic infrastructure throughoutChristendom, innovating financial techniques that were an early form of banking,[5][6] andbuilding many fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land.

The Templars' existence was tied closely to the Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost,

support for the Order faded. Rumours about the Templars' secret initiation ceremony created

mistrust, and King Philip IV of France, deeply in debt to the Order, took advantage of the

situation. In 1307, many of the Order's members in France were arrested, tortured into givingfalse confessions, and then burned at the stake. (Malcolm Barber, The Trial of the Templars.Cambridge University Press, 1978. ISBN 0-521-45727-0.).

Under pressure from King Philip, Pope Clement V disbanded the Order in 1312. Theabrupt disappearance of a major part of the European infrastructure gave rise to

speculation and legends, which have kept the "Templar" name alive into the modern day."

It seems that this movement has been stamped out by the Vatican, on the surface anyway, but the KnightsTemplar was a forerunner for another secretive group, the Freemasons, as we shall clearly see.

Symbols of the Knights TemplarBelow is the most commonly used seal (A Seal of the Knights Templar, with their famous image oftwo knights on a single horse, a symbol of their early poverty. The text is in Greek and Latin characters, Sigillum

Militum isti: followed by a cross, which means "the Seal of the Soldiers of `Christ`". The Red Cross on a white shield

(in the middle) is, another of their most common PUBLICALLY KNOWN symbols the Maltese Cross, but I want to alsodraw your attention to the Cross in the Crown symbol).

Here are some more exhibits of the Cross & Crown symbol of the Knights Templar Orderof the Temple (that I`ve found on the Web, e.t.c):

Question) Did you know that the Knights Templars movement was the forerunner to the

movement of Freemasonry (an occultic secret society) ?

Question) Did you also know that even today, Jewellery with the Knights Templar (Cross &

Crown ) symbol is manufactured today ?

Question) Did you also know that there is also a link between the old Knights Templars and

the Freemasons today, especially that of the York Rite?

"...COME AND SEE.." -Revelation 6:1.


15/27

The Knights Templar movement was the forerunner to the movement of Freemasonry

(an occult secret society).-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to Wikipaedia

"Knights Templar (Freemasonry)This page is about a Masonic organization. For the medieval Knights Templar, see Knights

Templar, and for other uses, please see Templar.

The full title of this order is The United Religious, Military and Masonic Orders of the

Temple and of St John of Jerusalem, Palestine, Rhodes and Malta.

Knights Templar is an international philanthropic Masonic order affiliated with Freemasonry. In

some countries it forms part of the York Rite, while in others it is a separate order on its

own. In the mid 1700s the Freemasons began to incorporate symbols and traditions of the

medieval Knights Templar. The original medieval Order of Knights Templar was establishedafter the First Crusade, and existed from approximately 1118 to 1312. There is no knownhistorical evidence to link the medieval Knights Templar and Masonic Templarism, nor do theMasonic Knights Templar organizations claim any such direct link to the original medieval

Templar organization. {See Footnote 1: (Knights Templar FAQ/INFO (http://www.knightstemplar.org/faq1.html) Accessed 14 August 2007}.

Inspite of what Wikipaedia, and the Masonic Templar Organisations are saying

PUBLICALLY (Note what is underlined in the quote), there seems to be strong evidence

that the Masonic Templars are linked back to the original Knights Templars.

Can we really trust those sworn to secrecy to be openly honest to us?

Have they got something to hide?

If so, Why?

John J. Robinson, whose book,Born in Blood, was celebrated by topMasonic Lodge officials as an accurate history of the Knights Templar and ofFreemasonry, insisted in his later book,A Pilgrims Progress, that Lucifer is notSatanor the devil. Instead, Robinson insisted that Lucifer is an angel whose guidance and

help can be employed either for good or for evil.(Codex Magica, by Texe Marrs

page 39).

Now Baphomet, the androgynous horned, half man-woman, half goat god of themedieval Knights Templars, inculcates this "Do your own thing"philosophy ofIlluminism. He is the very image of the freethinker, the Mason and Illuminist who

raises the "Torch of Liberty" the fire of hell and light of Lucifer. The Knights

Templar, predecessor to today's Freemasons, revered Baphomet as the deity of

wisdom. Look closely at the reverse side of the U.S. dollar bill and you will find the

horns of Baphomet meticulously designed and imbedded.(Codex Magica, by Texe Marrs,

page 99).


16/27

Richardson's Monitor of Freemasonry says that, "the Knights of

Kadosh Degree is intimately connected with the ancient Order of Knights Templar, as it

commemorates their old ceremonies of initiation."9 Allegedly, the members of the Order of

Knights Templar worshipped Baphomet, the hideous male/femaleLuciferian goat god and

conducted blasphemous ceremonies, which includedurinating on a cross and homosexual

sodomy.(Codex Magica, byTexe Marrs -p422).

Jewellery with the Knights Templar (Cross & Crown) symbol is manufactured today.

Come and see. Revelation 6:1.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE also the masonic emblem on the side of the ring (top row middle exhibit)!

There are also other links between the old Knights Templars and the Freemasons today,

especially that of the York Rite. It is also linked with the Skull & Crossbones Society

"...COME AND SEE.." -Revelation 6:1.


17/27

Masonic author Ray Denslow reveals the meaning for the cross and crown image:"The Cross and Crown may be said to be confined almost exclusively to the historicaldegrees in Masonry as exemplified in the various orders of knighthood of York and Scottish rites.In Gaul we find the cross to have been a solar symbolwhen it had equal arms and angles; to thePhoenicians it was an instrument of sacrifice to their God, Baal; and to the Egyptians, the cruxansata was his symbol of eternal life."(Ray V. Denslow, MasonicPortraits, Transactions of this

Missouri Lodge of Research, vol. 29, p.7---emphasis in the original).

Below: Notice the Freemasonry cross, the Knights Templar symbol.

Now the question is ... "Was Charles Taze Russell involvedwith or at least sympathetic to Knights Templar Freemasonry ?

In answer to that question, let me quote three things:

"A Picture tells a thousand words."

"There are sins of permission & sins of ommission, but there is also the sin of

association."

" The disciple is not above [his] master, nor the servant above his lord. It isenough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord.If

they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more[shall they call] them of his household? Fear them not therefore: for thereis nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not beknown." -Matthew 10:24-26.

Now For Some Revealing Snapshots

BELOW is a close up photo of a stone monument in Pittburgh, Pennsylvania ,USA. At this range it may not be much to look at,.....

........ so lets zoom out a little!

And a little bit more .....


19/27

This Stone "PYRAMID" monument with the symbol of Knights Templar(Freemasonry), labeled with the words "WATCHTOWER BIBLE & TRACTSOCIETY" is located outside the "GREATER PITTSBURGH MASONIC

CENTRE" and was erected in honor of Charles Taze Russell & is also rightnear his tomb stone on the same property.

The inscription on

the Watchtower Society pyramid

above is irrefutable proof that the

Watchtower is inseparably linked to

Satanic freemasonry!

YAHWEH, the true God is against

secret societies.

YAHWEH SAID TO ISRAEL "If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of

thy bosom, or thy friend, which [is] as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve othergods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; [Namely,] of the gods of the people which [are] round

about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end ofthe earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; ..." -Deuteronomy 13:6-8

"Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and

they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted

against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from [being] a nation; that the nameof Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they areconfederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, andAmmon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen

the children of Lot. Selah. Do unto them as [unto] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the brook of Kison:[Which] perished at Endor: they became [as] dung for the earth.

Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: Who said, Letus take to ourselves the houses of God in possession." -Psalm 83:1-12

"They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and

murder the fatherless.Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard [it.]Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he

not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that

teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know? The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity."-Psalm 94:5-11

"A foolish woman [is] clamorous: [she is] simple, and knoweth nothing. For she sitteth at the door of her house, ona seat in the high places of the city, To call passengers who go right on their ways: Whoso[is] simple, let him turn in

hither: and [as for] him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Stolen waters are sweet, and bread

[eaten] in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead [are] there; [and that] her guests [are] in thedepths of hell." -Proverbs 9:13-18.

"I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they hadstood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil

way, and from the evil of their doings. [Am] I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide

himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD"

-Jeremiah 23:21-24

Concerning the coming antichrist, scripture says,

"And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above everygod, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation beaccomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers,

nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. But in hisestate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with

gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things." - Daniel 11:36-38

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR SAID, ...

"Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not . For there

shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuchthat, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.


21/27

Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, [he is] in the desert; go not forth: behold, he

is in the secret chambers; believe [it] not." -Matthew 24:23-26

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON AND SAID, ..."And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last,which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich)

and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the

synagogue of Satan." -Revelation 2:8-9.

The Front of C.T.Russell`s Tombstone (Below). The pyramid Masonic

Watchtower Monument is facing the front of it.

Charles Taze Russell died in 1916, and then had to face YAHWEH as hisJudge. Has occultism carried on in the Watchtower in the form ofNecromancy?


24/27

Necromancy refers to divination through alleged communication with the dead.

After Charles Russell the first president of WTS died in 1916 the following was saidabout him keeping contact with the WTS:"This verse (Revelation 8:3) shows that, though Pastor Russell has passed beyond the veil, he is stillmanaging every feature of the harvest workWe hold that he supervises, by the Lord's arrangement, the

work yet to be done.The Finished Mystery 1917 pp. 144, 256.

"Hence our dear Pastor, now in glory, is without doubt, manifesting a keen interest in the harvest work, and

is permitted by the Lord to exercise some strong influence thereupon. Watch Tower 1917, November 1 p.6161 [ WTS's reprints].

The second president of the WTS Joseph Rutherford under whose aegis the above two statementswere made, later contradicted them:

"No one of the temple company would be so foolish as to conclude that some brother (or brethren) at onetime amongst them, and who has died and gone to heaven, is now instructing the saints on earth and

directing them as to their work."Jehovah 1934 p. 191.

The Watchtower Society (WTS) advised against association with the occult, including spiritism,astrology, necromancy, mysticism and other similar beliefs and practices condemned in the Bible.(Deuteronomy 18:9-11)"The Flood forced the disobedient angels to dematerialize, and, now separatedfrom Jehovah's holy organization, they became an invisible demonicorganization under Satan's domination. (Ephesians 6:12) In order to controlmankind, they use spiritism, necromancy, astrology and other occult devices.Although unable to take on human form again, they often possess humans,

animals and inanimate things such as fetishes." The Watchtower 1984 March15th, p. 28-29.

However, in a complete flip-flop the WTS in 1989 reverted back to their necromantic belief:

"It is fitting, then, that one of the 24 elders, representing anointed ones alreadyin heaven, should stir John's thinking(Revelation 7:13, 14a) Yes, that eldercould locate the answer and give it to John. This suggests that resurrected onesof the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths

today." Revelation Its Grand climax At Hand! 1989 p. 125.

Charles Taze Russell, Judge Rutherford & the Watchtower Society join rankswith other occultists & Masonics such as Joseph Smith (founder of the

Mormons) & also Mary Baker Eddy (the founder of `Christian` `Science`),which is neither Christian or science. The so called `Christian` `Science` cultalso used (& still uses) the Cross & Crown symbol of the Masonic KnightsTemplars on their Sentinel Magazine. We do know however that Charles TazeRussell was not a follower of Mary Baker Eddy, nor was she a follower ofCharles Taze Russell BUT both had links to the occult & the secret society ofthe Masonic Knights Templar.


25/27

The Masonic Knights Templar Cross & Crown symbol also once appeared, for example on

the cover of the Watchtower. The Watchtower October 1st, 1907.


26/27

It also appears often inside or on the covers of the Sentinel Magazine, published by the followers ofMary Baker Eddy (Founder of the `Christian ` `Science` cult). e.g/ SENTINEL 22.10.2007.

From the back cover of SENTINEL 22nd Oct, 2007


27/27

Unless a person who is a `Jehovah`s ` Witness chooses to be wilfully ignorant of the facts, they haveto admit that the founder of their religious organization as well as the organization of theWatchtower itself is a cult & inspired by demons, NOT BY YAHWEH (Jehovah) of the Bible.{The document "The Watchtower & The Occult (Part 2), coming soon will also reveal to any truthseekers among the `Jehovah`s Witnesses` that the Watchtower has JESUIT links & they have beenled to believe lying spirits & doctrines of demons, and that they need to get out of that cult & find a

support group that will help them in the painful exiting process}.

The truth was also painful for me to find out that Joseph Smith was a false prophet.

This article was written by an ex-Mormon who is now saved by the Great God and our SaviourJesus Christ (Isaiah 9:6; 43:10-11; Jeremiah 32:18-19; Titus 2:10,13) , by His Mercy & Grace alone(Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7), through faith alone (Romans 5:1, 6-11), in the risen, Historical LordJesus Christ alone (Romans 10:4, 9-13; John 14:6), according to the Bible (God`s Word) alone(2 Timothy 3:15-17).
