Apparently so. How is that?
Because of the illustration of the "wheat and weeds" found at Matthew 13:36-43:
..And his disciples came to him and and said: "Explain to us the illustration of the weeds in the field. In response he said: "The sower of the fine seed is the Son of man; the field is the world; as for the fine seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one, and the enemy that sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, and the reapers are angels. Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out form his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and persons who are doing lawlessness, and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and gnashing of their teeth will be. At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him that has ears listen."
This is fulfilled during the "last generation" and is directly related to Jehovah's Witnesses since it is they who are the "temple organization", that is, the organization where the anointed "sons of the kingdom" are gathered. But among them will be the "weeds" of Satan.
Thus we have a parable that prophesies that in the beginning and right up until the harvest time, which is the "conclusions of the system of things", the wheat and weeds would grow together in the same "temple organization." The "conclusion of the system of things" is the "end of the gentile times" which occurred 2520 years after the fall of Jerusalem in 529BCE. That is, when Jesus came to kingdom power in 1992, it ended the system of things and that is when the angels began to separate out the wheat from the weeds within the temple organization, thereby exposing various false teachings within the organization.
But ultimately, if these weeds are considered to be those linked with cultic secret organizations such as Freemasonry, this simply indicates that the witness organization would be a cover organization for Freemasons, which is what the previous article is about and which would be consistent with JW history which definitely sees links with Russell into pyramidology and Freemasonry. The technical point here is that this occurred at the very, very beginning of this organizations set-up and it occurred at the very top of the organization.
But what I really wanted to point out is that "weeds" are even more directly linked to the Mysteries secret religion since in the Eleusinian Mysteries, a secret hallucinogen called "ergot of wheat" used to infect wheat fields and it was this hallucinagen which was used to create an incredible "vision" for the initiates into the Eleusinian mysteries.
In other words, they got the initiates stoned on something like LSD or "acid" and they then became believers because of the hallucinations and visual "psycadelic" dysfunctions LSD causes. Thus the mysteries were linked with infestation of wheat.
Additionally, these "tares" or weeds are thought to be specifically a weed that resembles wheat:
The "Aid" book, page 1650 under "Weeds" explains:
The weeds (Gr., zi.za'ni.on) of Jesus' illustration at Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 are generally considered to be bearded darnel (Lolium temulentum), which very much resembles wheat until maturity, when it can be readily distinguished from wheat by its smaller black seeds. This, together with the fact that the roots of these weeds become entwined with the wheat, would make it most inadvisable to pull up the weeds at an early stage. If darnel seeds become mixed with wheat kernels after the harvest, this can have a serious effect upon the eater. Dizziness and even fatal poisoning have been attributed to eating bread containing too much darnel flour. The poisonous properties of darnel seeds are generally believed to stem from a fungus growing within them.
CONCLUSION:
So basically, one might just step back and presume based upon Scripture, that the witness organization was prophesied to be a front organization for Freemasons or some mysteries cultic sub-group who would infect the organization, beginning with Russell and Rutherford. And this connection is directly linked with "Babylon the Great" which according to even Rutherford fits the description of Jewish financial influence in the Britain-America empire.
Thus Freemasonry and Babylon the Great are linked together to fulfill that prophecy.
It is of note that the harlot, Babylon the Great, is said to have leaped upon the back of the scarlet colored wild beast representing the U.N. as soon as it ascended from the abyss, having been the "League of Nations" before that. Of note, one of the first things the U.N. did after WWII is to partition Palestine so the Jews could have their own national State. Of course, rumors are that the Jews paid off the then President of the United States to vote in favor of this proposal. So the stage is set and fits everything the Bible might imply regarding Babylon the Great's influence over world politics, particularly the U.N. and that by means of vast financial power.
But then that comes down to Jehovah's Witnesses who have been thought by Hitler and others to be linked with Jewish-Freemasonry. If we presume this is the case and there is a high, secretive presence of Freemasonry within the Watchtower organization, which is definitely the accusation, including being linked with the so-called "Illuminati", then one can totally understand Revelation 18 when it says to "GET OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE!"
That is, apparently, many who call themselves witnesses and who are within the organization, also are Freemasons or at least are tolerant of Freemasonry practices or concepts in some ways and thus they are told to separate themselves and to get out before Babylon the Great is destroyed by the U.N. and all those funds confiscated.
Thus the call to "Get out of her!" relates directly to the Watchtower cultic link with Babylon the Great in the form of Jewish-Freemasonry, and thus is quite appropriate.
It is interesting, therefore, how little the WTS even says anything about Freemasonry, yet rumors abound on the internet about the direct link with the witnesses, Freemasonry, the "Illuminati", etc. and was sufficiently substantiated, apparently, for even Hitler to clamp down on the witnesses.
So, whether the rumors are true or not, the suggestion is definitely Biblical about the infiltration of mysteries cult practices within the "true religion" and if one is not to "receive part of her plagues" those involved (likely for financial rather than religious considerations) should sever all ties. Not necessarily because those connected might suffer from the U.N.'s destruction of "Babylon the Great" just before Armageddon, but because the angels will not mark those who have Freemasonry secret-society ties and then they will get killed at Armageddon and miss out on the millennium for being involved with pagan occultistic false religion.
More to come.
