ARE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES PART OF THE ILLUMINATI?

“Are Jehovah’s witnesses part of the Illuminati? Why do some Watchtower publications have weird drawings in the pictures like the Revelation—It’s Grand Climax At Hand! book page 159 where there is a face in the palm of Jesus?

And on page 52 of the Revelation book there is a demon hand on the left side of Jesus?

Yes, I do believe in Jehovah as our God, but I’m just really confused. I’ve been raised as a Jehovah Witness, but now I just don’t know what to think about this religion.”

OUR RESPONSE:

Dear friend,

There is a lot of speculation regarding the Illuminati and subliminal images in Watchtower literature.  Much of this conjecture stems from the prolific use of Masonic symbols by Charles Taze Russell and Judge Rutherford in early Watchtower literature.  While many conspiracy theories abound to link Freemasonry to an alleged secret organization called the Illuminati (whose goal is to rule the world), documentation proving this connection is completely lacking.  Without solid documentation, our ministry is cautious not to embrace these conspiracy theories.

Yet, as can be seen by anyone, artists working for the Watchtower have drawn several creepy images into the literature that is being distributed by Jehovah’s Witnesses.  Many more Satanic images in addition to the ones you pointed out are listed here:

We can certainly understand your confusion and fear of being involved in a religion that has these connections to the dark side. We would encourage you not to disregard this uneasy feeling you have about the Watchtower religion.  If you take the time to thoroughly research the beliefs and historical background of the Jehovah's Witness faith, you will discover more issues than just creepy images to be concerned about.  If you are looking for help and encouragement to maintain your faith in Jehovah, while reevaluating the history and beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses, we are here for you. Our ministry offers a private, online support group that you can join free and learn from others who are on the same journey you are:

We would also encourage you to read the following articles on our site for help with the confusion you face:

 

 

Testimonials

wdgrstudyThey are all there for me!

“I had Jehovah’s Witnesses visiting for six years. … The sad thing is now I have their beliefs in my head. So I put myself into God’s hands and asked for direction. …Well, the feeling of freedom is amazing. I am like a child, learning again for the first time. The reason I had to write to you was the Karen and Cindy conversations. Instead of me asking for help, one question at a time, they are all there for me!! It seems as if ‘Karen’ could read my mind 

It’s so lovely for things to fall into place, mainly that ‘What happens when we die?’ This was a very big issue for me. I was scared while I did not understand even the tiny bit I do now. It’s such a joy. Instead of feeling unworthy(were all sinners I know) and feeling I would never be saved or go to Heaven. So, please thank God and Jesus with me for such help.”

jwsaveI have to tell you how your website saved my life.

 “I have been a baptized Witness since 1995, and I have to tell you how you have saved my life. Every couple of years I get this gnawing sense that this is not quite right, that I am not 100% vested in what the Watchtower Society says.  …Lately, I have stopped attending meetings and my daughter, 13, has begged me not to make her go back. So I have been praying and chatting with friends outside the organization…

I can’t tell you my sense of relief when I stumbled upon your site and started to read the articles. I want to cry, but I’m at work. I can’t wait to get home because I am so excited I can barely stand it! Please, please, how can I meet others who feel this way? I sure could use the fellowship. Again, thanks for the work you do.”

exjw-summerGod bless you for the difference you are making.

“My brother and I were raised by a Jehovah's Witness mother. I am 52 years old now and still haven't been able to shake the stigma of the experience. My brother wasn't as lucky as me and ended up taking his own life at 17. I have been through everything ... I can't express how much I appreciate what you are doing... God bless for the difference you are making.”

I do not feel so alone!

Thank you for creating this website. After reading stories of former Jehovah's Witnesses, I do not feel so alone. My resolve to stay out of that religion has also strengthened. I have also come to realize that my depression, anxiety, and many other emotional scars inflicted by the organization and those in the ‘truth’ will take time to heal. But your website has also come to help me ... Thank you.”

hallJust as I was about to enter the Jehovah’s Witnesses again, God led me to your website.

“Hi…I am an Ex-Jehovah’s Witness from South Africa. ...I left the Jehovah’s Witnesses not because I did not agree with their beliefs, but because my wife could not handle it with me being a Jehovah’s Witness and she not. I became an anti-religious person. Then, just as I was about to enter the Jehovah’s Witnesses again, God led me to your websiteToday, I prayed to Jesus for salvation after I read your article on your website…”

I’m so glad that I have run across this site.

“After reading the article that David Reed wrote on your site, I’ve looked at things in ‘a new light’ so-to-speak. ...I’m so glad that I have run across this site. I’m sure that it was the Holy Spirit that directed me to all of you!

 

exjw_groupYour website is a great source for truth

 “Your website is a great source for those seriously seeking the truth.… The Jehovah’s Witness elders shun me. I’ve known these guys for 30 years... Well, when I walk into the Hall they turn their backs to me. I have not seen my Jehovah’s Witness ex-wife, or daughter for two years. ...They hide my family from me. When I go to their homes, they smile with arms folded and say nothing.

The stories I read at your website were loud and clear - conditional love by the ‘brothers’! I have learned more in the Christian Church about unconditional love than 30 years as a Witness. When I accepted Christ, who He really is, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to see both sides clearly. ...Without the Holy Spirit it is impossible to know the real TRUTH! Keep up your good work.”
