"Humanism" is the religion that the Serpent invented in the Garden of Eden when he said to Eve: "Ye shall be as Gods".
This may not seem like a "religion", but it is, the most widespread and fastest-growing religion today. It not only teaches that humans "evolved" over billions of years from lesser species, but that men and women are currently in the process of "evolving" into "Divine" beings. This is the underlying root ideology of Kabbalism, Scientology, Freemasonry, and the New Age Religion.
Here's an article that puts into perspective how this mode of thinking has been ingrained in modern society:

Hi jesh! I really appreciate all the research you have been submitting. Frankly, I don't have the time to follow up on all the links you provide, so your personal summations and recommendations would be welcome also.
On Humanism, though strange bedfellows, do you see a link between, the WTS and the Humanist movement? For example, though the WT has always promoted the Bible and God, they also teach that 144K humans will become like Gods. Also, they promote one world religion, and Russell also seemed to be immersed in Free Masonry and Pyramidology. :shocked:.......e-m
oh Bad bad EM,,,:D
Now u just gotta throw me off dont cha.
"they also teach that 144K humans will become like Gods"
Suppose just for a minute that the "new world" they are trying to build has evrything to do with making gods on earth..
LEt me expand. A they promote dumbing down the people, if we bacame so dumded down that we see them perform things we could not explain, might this be part of a deception that could be future ?
Sorry if it is way out their.

Ah Ha! The average JW already holds the GB members as being like most Holy icons! Idolizing them as direct "channels" between us and Jah. How else could they have built such a wonderful organization amid hostel conditions? Its a modern miracle. :coffeeread:
For the last two centuries, there has been in the U.S. a battle between the Biblically-based values of the American Revolution and the secular humanists' values of the French Revolution, which emphasized Adam Weishaupt’s Illuminati philosophy of “do what thou wilt.â€
Well...what's the alternative? "Do as your told"? That system hasn't worked too well either. Believe me...I'm not a secular humanist; but one thing I've come to find out: all roads lead back to THE Way, one way or another. There's no escaping the "final solution" regardless of how one chooses to get there. All people are trying to do is find the most comfortable route..or what they think is the most comfortable route. Either you do what your told and suffer from inherent lack of appreciation, or you learn from experience and become wise - if you live long enough. Still...people choose not to listen to their pain, adapt and overcome. Others are anti-authoritarian and can't abide by even their own rules.
The secret is: do the right thing just as soon as you figure out what the "right" thing is...and, even after you've decided, never stop looking for a better way.

Like this one GUs,
"The secret is: do the right thing just as soon as you figure out what the "right" thing is...and, even after you've decided, never stop looking for a better way."
IF ya don't mind I will take this one with me.. wherever I go
I like it, Gus. "Do what thou wilt" vs "Do as you're told"... with "Do the right thing" as the middle way.

On Humanism, though strange bedfellows, do you see a link between, the WTS and the Humanist movement?
Yes e-m I most certainly do. In fact, Kabbalism, Phariseeism, Darwinism, Marxism, Fascism, and Communism are all synonymous with the boys behind the whitewashed wall in Brooklyn. And all of this got its start with....Heliocentrism, but I won't get into that can of worms right now!
Interestingly, Westcott and Hort were Evolutionists and Darwinists, and it's reflected in NWT "scripture". I'll get to that one of these days as I continue dissecting it. It's a big reason why the Watchtower fails to confront science and it's anti-Biblical agenda. Instead, they go along with billions of years of "creation" just like all the churches.
And I thought it was "da troof".

For persons seeking to “see†and then understand the smoking gun connectives with secular humanism - and how it operates as the religion of the New World Order - the link Jeshurun provides in this post has much stuff worthy of spending some time with. I believe secular humanism (modern day Baal worship) is the thought mechanism that is leading the peoples of the earth to the point that they accept the setup of the image of the beast – global satanic socialist totalitarian rule.
The article Americans' New Religion is well worth the read folks especially if you want to help yourself and others understand the connectives. Dennis Lawrence Cuddy wrote the book Now Is The Dawning of the New Age New World Order which provides the nuts and bolts of how it all functions as a seamless mechanism for "social change". It’s out of print but can be found used on Amazon. It appears he has an updated version of this book on the link - The Road To Socialism and the New World Order.
I fully realize that many on this db rail at the idea that there is any kind of “conspiracy†etc - and/or if there really is - the reasonableness of spending time trying to understand it assuming it is real – so PLEASE don’t beat me up about that. We are all responsible to do our own math as to whether this is all fact or fiction whether Satan has a master Plan he is working off. But in view of the Scripture that tells us the whole world lies in the power of the wicked one, should it really be any surprise?
But back to the topic at hand. I definitely think that secular humanistic thought (the New Age religions) has infected the Christian based religions – including the WT. For anyone still attending meetings it’s become a regular thing to hear about “the faithful and discreet slave†- how they are “God’s channel†- and how we should not question their lead in matters of faith. This is pure idolatry especially when you hear prayers that include the “F&DS†and you hear about that more than the Ones they claim to represent. A recent “part†on the Service Meeting went ON and ON about not doing research with anything but WT based materials. When persons are provided only one side of the story, they are not able to have any other point of reference with which to compare. This is mind control and goes opposite the Scriptural guide to test every inspired expression, not just some inspired expressions – and to prove to yourself the trueness etc.
One of the missions of the NWO planners is to have a population that is dumbed down to the point they are not able to think critically about anything – in order for the Plan to go on right in their faces and yet no one can “see†it happening.
Similarly, the WT has created a faith structure that is totally dependent on their lead. The average JW thinks they are thinking for themselves, but in reality they are parroting WT articles etc for their “understanding†- and the notion to go figure something out based only on the Bible and realworld connectives is considered an act of rebellion against “God’s channel†etc.
If we take a hard look at the major Christian based movements that came out of the 19th century (Mormonism, the various Adventist groups - Millerites, 7th Day and their offshoots etc - Bible Students, JWs – they all had some sort of central authority figure (Ellen G. White, William Miller, C.T. Russell, etc) that claimed some sort of divine inspiration. The connective here is that globalist freemasonry type leaders of the same era like H.G. Wells (The Open Conspiracy) and Albert Pike (Morals and Dogma) - explain in plain language the NWO Plan of infiltrating every aspect of society in order to gain control of people’s thinking and actions. This should make it incumbent on persons to explore thoroughly the source of spiritual and all other types of information. It would be naive to think that SOME earthly organizations had not been infiltrated. Organizations and mass media are the best way to reach mass audiences and it only takes a few at the top to accomplish.
We need to be “cautious as serpentsâ€.
To do that - we need to understand the Gameplan Satan is using...

I just completed a research paper on Humanism, it's called "The Serpent's Religion".

Hi Jeshurun,
What I find ironic is that Adam and Eve were already set up as 'gods' by Jehovah himself!
As the scripture in Genesis brings out in chapter 1:26-28 "And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.†27 And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.â€
So these scriptures brings out:
a: They were molded in the image of GOD
b: They were to rule over everything in the earth
c: They had Gods' blessing to fill the earth and subdue it ( I think that means, master the land and beasts that were outside of their paradisaic garden)
So they were commanded by Jehovah to rule the earth as gods.
agape,
James

Excellent point, Brother. I will have to add that little tidbit of information to the article. Satan's lie included the downright denial of the ramifications of the fall of man, and eliminating the Father not only as the Sovereign of the Universe, but the only One who could redeem what was lost through the provision of a ransom sacrifice. But even though mankind would have been gods in the sense of ruling the earth, and only through the Father's good grace can man be redeemed from his fallen state and restored to his place in God's plan, he would still be in subjection to a higher authority. Evidently the Serpent wanted to be that higher authority, and he will do anything to fool man into thinking he can redeem himself, because he knows that would be a task that's out of his league.
Cheers,

Hi Jeshurun,
This might interest you
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanist_Manifesto
The following is an excerpt from the the Humanist manifesto, which is an agressive philosophy aiming at an atheistic(aka Humanist) new world order:
"We deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds. We have reached a turning point in human history where the best option is to transcend the limits of national sovereignty and to move toward the building of a world community in which all sectors of the human family can participate. Thus we look to the development of a system of world law and a world order based upon transnational federal government.†Such a world order, to be truly humanist, must also be unwaveringly socialist. “It is the moral obligation of the developed nations to provide…massive technical, agricultural, medical, and economic assistance, including birth control techniques, to the developing portions of the globe…. Hence extreme disproportions in wealth, income, and economic growth should be reduced on a worldwide basis.â€
Of course, doing the right thing is somewhat difficult on an atheistic worldview. If all morals are relative and derived from humans then it's hard to see why anything should be called intrinsically
right. And if we're the byproduct of chance and randomness and death is our only future, then who cares? There's no difference between human morals and monkey morals.

Good find, DaSheep, very much appreciated. I find it interesting that such things are shown in the light of day on Rockefeller-controlled mediums like Wikipedia. The article has been updated to reflect your finding.
