Volume 8, Issue 1 / Jan-June 2007 “I have set a watchman upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night. You that make mention of YHWH, keep not silence”. Isaiah 62:6
“If we have forgotten the name of our God [Elohim], or stretched out our hands to a strange god; Shall not Elohim search this out? He knows the secrets of the heart.” Psalms 44:20-21
The terms “Mother Earth and Mother Nature” are widespread and are casually used by modern society without question. Whether referencing the earth’s beauty, wonder and mystery, the terms have given earth and nature lifelike qualities and personas. Even in our present world environment of global warming where the climate imbalance is intensifying into extreme conditions or events upon earth – whether extremely hot temperatures and blizzard conditions; or flooding and drought, people speak of mother earth and the ‘wrath ‘wrath of mother nature’. They speak of and revere this “Mother” as though she were the GOD of the heavens and the earth!! They believe she is God!! Thus, she is called The Queen of Heaven; also known as the “Madonna” or the “Mother of Peace”. Having reached the level of inter-national worship, today she is has become The Lady of Nations, Mary the Mother of so-called Jesus [whose name is actually Yahshua]. Daily, hundreds pray to Mary, whom they honor as the mother of God, embarking on pilgrimages to Marian shrines throughout the world; from Ireland, Portugal, and Bosnia to Gibraltar, Mexico and Sri Lanka. Pope John Paul II dedicated his pontificate to and consecrated the world to the Blessed Virgin urging all to open the doors of their lives to her. But what would Mary have thought of all of this….being worshipped as a Goddess??? The angel Gabriel told Mary [Miriam] that she was blessed among women and highly favored, but he did not worship her nor did he tell her she would be worshipped. [Even the attributes of Mother and Child-adoration are attributable to Mary and so-called Jesus. The [original] Black Madonna (rt) is verifying evidence. But, Mary would have been appalled at being worshipped because “Goddess” worship [including that of Mother and Child] can be traced back to the beginning of time

under countless ancient, but pagan [or false] religions. The scripture verifies this fact as well because it speaks of the Heavenly FATHER, YHWH Elohim who is the author and finisher of all life. It’s even from the name of the Father, YHWH that the masses [particularly Jehovah’s Witnesses] have incorrectly transliterated his name, YaHWeH to JeHoVaH]. How did it all begin and progress?? After the flood during Noah’s day, YHWH once again divided the nations through the sons of Noah. For a time, only one son, Shem, would remember the Father. Noah’s remaining sons, Japheth (Gentiles/Europeans) and Ham (Africans/Egyptians) would stray from the truth. This is the reason every nation on earth has a Gilgamesh (or flood) story. Further dividing the nations down thru Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, eventually only one nation or family, The Children of Israel, would remember YHWH, the GOD of Israel. Jacob (who was surnamed Israel- Gen 32:28) is the Father of the 12 Tribes of Israel. “You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities”. Amos 3:2
Even though Israel was warned about the ancient earth goddess, [named Ashtoreth in their day and times], Israel was ultimately punished because they would turn away as well when they fell to Asherah worship. [Asherah was also known as Ashtoreth, Ishtar, Astarte, and Eaostre]. And today, the same mother goddess is upon the earth. Her name is Easter!! Ashtoreth and Easter is the same goddess of fertility, or life-giver. She is the icon of reproduction just like the rabbit. Have you every wondered what the rabbit has to do with Easter?…A day dedicated to the so-called risen Son? Or, is that really the risen SUN??? These attributes of Marian and sun worship both came out of Christianity. But, where in scripture were they told to worship Mary? "You shall fear only YHWH your Elohim and you shall worship Him, and swear by His name. You shall not follow other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who surround you." Deuteronomy 6:13, 14
And, where in scripture were they commanded to keep Sunday (the first day) holy? "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shall you do all your work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of YHWH your Elohim…For in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the Seventh day: YHWH blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it”. Ex 20:9-11
Anthropologists will verify that Goddess worship dates back to 4000 B.C. and that the first "God" or gods of the people were feminine. Nations viewed viewed the earth as a living entity thus, The Goddess was believed to have created the universe by herself alone. This belief coincides with ancient creation myths and beliefs that creation was achieved by self-fertilization.
The Watchman – The United Congregation of Israel
[Notice the phallic symbol [male genitalia] behind her throne in the photo right]. From this belief came the pagan agricultural religions. Ancients thought that the gods only prospered them by the beneficence and wisdom that the Goddess showered on them. Evidence appears to indicate most ancient tribes and cultures were matriarchal matriarchal [led by the mother]. This is also opposite of scripture which depicts that the Children of Israel were born into a patriarchal society [led by the father]. “Abram fell on his face: and Elohim talked with him, saying, As for Me, Behold My covenant is is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. Neither shall your name anymore be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee”. thee”. Gen 17:3-5
There are three (3) major tenets of false or pagan beliefs that are universally kept. There is: 1. The Earth Goddess. 2. Polytheism (or the worship of multiple gods), and 3. The transpersonal nature of the human psyche. (This is just misunderstanding spiritual things that are not controlled or limited by human thinking or human nature). In other words, Gnosticism. Early believers at the church of Colossae, [The Colossians], were Gnostics (among whom the so-called gospel of Mary Magdalene was supposedly found. They claimed to possess knowledge of a secret “higher” spiritual realm. They viewed physical matter as evil and claimed that man’s spirit that was separate from the body and was not responsible for the body’s evil acts. Ignoring Paul’s warnings [that [that spiritual knowledge could not be obtained though man-made reasoning and bodily self-denial], the dark ages would witness the Gnostics physically beating and mutilating themselves almost to the point of death. This self-denying “sect” would give rise to unconverted men embracing the Catholic doctrine of the Roman Empire where they were told that priests should not marry because lusts of the flesh, (particularly sex) should be denied. Why then does scripture say, “If they cannot contain, it is better for them to marry than to burn”? (1 Cor 7:9). And what about the scripture that says, “the marriage bed is undefiled”? (Heb 13:4). Hebrew priests are not restricted from marriage according to scripture although they had to marry women of purity (virgins) who were from the same tribe (Levi 21:10-15). Through the centuries the Goddess has acquired a thousand names and a thousand faces but most always she has represented nature; she is associated with both the sun and moon, the earth and sky. Scripture confirms this by telling us that the Gentiles (Sons of Japheth) and other heathen nations (Sons of Ham) and the non-Israelite Sons of Shem) were given up to worship the sun, moon, and stars: Lest you lift up your eyes unto heaven, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which YHWH your Elohim has divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. But YHWH has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as you are this day”. Deut 4:20
This is the same reason why Islam is identified by the crescent moon and star. The Goddess religion, usually in all forms, is a nature religion. People believed that the spirits of these goddesses lived in crops, and trees, and groves. Those worshipping the Goddess, worship or care for nature too and thus many bible scriptures speak against worship in or near groves and trees. Islam
And you shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. You shall not do so unto YHWH your Elohim. Deut 12:3-4

Among the first human images discovered are the "Venus figures," nude female figures having exaggerated sexual parts that date back 4,000 years. In southern France is the Venus of Laussel (which is carved in bas relief in a rock shelter). This appears to have been a hunting shrine that dates to 4,000 BCE. In this carving the woman is painted red, perhaps to suggest blood, and holds a bison horn in one hand. Also in cave paintings women are depicted giving birth. "A naked Goddess appears to have been the patroness and protectress of the hearth and the lady of the wild things." As a result, the nations are entrenched in practicing and even eating abominations, to which scripture also addresses: “They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, said YHWH. Isaiah 66:17
Most of these figurines (which is simply a nice word for idols) were decorated as objects of worship. In Africa carved images of the Horned Goddess called Isis was discovered. The images of this Black Goddess represented – a bisexual – or self-fertilizing woman. During the times of the Tower of Babel, the predynastic Egyptian period, the Goddess was known as TaUrt (The Great One) and was portrayed as a pregnant hippopotamus standing upright on her hind legs. Goddess figurines are also associated with the cow or bull (as with the Hindus), the serpent or dragon (as with the Chinese, Mayans, Aztecs, and the Mexicans), humped ox, sheep, goat, pig, and the dove. These things became symbols representing the Goddess. Thus the Zodiac Circle of Animals are directly connected to the stars. This all began at Babel. Also, in the Sumerian civilization, in the area where the Tower of Babel was constructed, princesses or queens of cities were associated with the Goddess. And of course, a king was associated with the Gods. The Goddess was seen as The Creatress, The Virgin, The Mother, The Wife, Healer and Sorceress. The Queen of Heaven represents a queen with a consort, or a lover. She supposedly bore a son who died young or was sacrificed only to rise again representing the annual birthdeath-rebirth cycle of the four seasons [the spring and fall equinoxes and winter and summer solstices]. Such was the case with Nimrod, founder and King of Babylon. His queen Semiramis (who was also his mother) was said to have born a son (whom she told her subjects) was the reincarnation of Nimrod, risen from the dead. As the myth goes, his spirit returned through the form of a tree that sprang forth green leaves in the winter. Thus, would the evergreen tree and shrubs, come to represent the birth of the son (their Savior and King, Je-Zeus) and Nimrod on Dec 25th. The opposite is found in scripture (Luke 1:26-56), which indicates that the Messiah, Yahshua (so-called Je-Zeus) was born in the spring/summer months once the Hebrew calendar is applied. The title of The Queen of Heaven grew from the Hittite/African deity with traits similar to Astarte, the Phoenician goddess of War, the evening star and goddess of sexual love. Thus temple prostitution was part of their worship so she was often depicted naked. The title of Mother and Child also came from Africa by the Egyptians who worshiped Isis. She was depicted on a throne holding the child Horus. At Babylon and Nineveh, Astarte was worshipped as Inanna, and was also called the Queen of Heaven. The Canaanite fertility goddess was Anat, sister of Baal, and daughter of the sun god. Mother goddess worship of Ishtar or Astarte and Baal by Israelites so deeply affected Israel that also they also practiced weeping for Tammuz, the dead husband of Ishtar); and they worshipped the sun.
The Watchman – The United Congregation of Israel
“Turn thee yet again, and thou shall see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of YHWH'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz...and, behold, at the door of the temple of YHWH, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of YHWH, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east”. Ezek 8:14-16
Babylon and Egypt’s ancient pagan tradition is also found among us today in or current Christian Holidays in spite of the bible’s instructions to keep Holy Days. Author, Barbara G. Walker made two comments concerning the thou-sand names and faces of the Goddess. The first is that "Every female divinity in the present Encyclopedia may be correctly regarded as only another aspect of the core concept of a female Supreme Being." Thus, upon the earth there would now be a multitude of separate 'gods' (a pantheon of gods and goddesses) with each assigned to a particular function in the world. In China, Semiramis became known as the "Holy Mother." The Germans named her "Hertha." The Scandinavians called her "Disa." Among the Druids, the "Vigo-Paritura" was worshipped as the "Mother of God." To the Greeks, she was "Aphrodite." To the Romans she was known as "Venus," and her son was "Jupiter." To the Canaanites (and sometimes, unfortunately, even to the Israelites) she was worshipped as "Ashtoreth" who was also known as “The Queen of Heaven” in (Judges 2:13; 10:6; I Samuel 7:3-4; 12:10; I Kings 11:5, 33; II Kings 23:13) and (Jeremiah 7:18). In Ephesus, the Great Mother was known as "Diana" and looking like her ancient Hittite-Phoenician counterpart except she appears more European. Thus, we see that the Virgin and child were worshipped in pagan times from China to Britain to Mexico. From the year 4,000 to 1500 BCE when Abraham lived in Canaan, marks the spots in history where YHWH once again divided the nations -- to raise a nation for himself that would spread the Hebrew culture and His name upon earth. The early Hebrew church never worshipped pagan gods; they attempted to abolish Goddess worship, but were never successful. Remnants of it remained within the hearts of the people; which is evident in the devotion seen within the people of Ephesus during the Church Council of Ephesus in 431 AD. According to Acts 19:27, until Paul was sent into Ephesus, the city had been a so-called sacred city dedicated to the Queen of Heaven, The Divine Goddess, who was worshipped by "all Asia and the world". “Moreover you see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul\ has persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands so that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at naught; but also that the temple of the Great Goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed whom all Asia and the world worships. And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. Acts 19:26-28
Also in this city of Ephesus, as elsewhere, she was called Mother of Animals. "Her most famous Ephesus image had a torso covered with breasts, showing her ability to nurture the whole world at one time. During this council of bishops at Ephesus [which was several hundred decades after Paul’s journeys], people rioted in the streets demanding the worship of the Goddess be restored. The prime candidate was Mary, the Virgin and Mother of Christ. The (Catholic) bishops conceded so far in allowing Mary to be called the Mother of God, but they forbade her to be called Mother Goddess or Goddess. To the very present many, both Catholics and especially Protestants, wonder why Catholics have a great devotion toward the Virgin Mary. Few know the occurrences at Ephesus, and that this devotion is the long surviving remnants of their early ancestors' devotion to the Goddess. How did this ancient paganism begin?? They did this through one of the repeated patterns of the Roman church known is syncretism: bringing pagan beliefs and practices into the church to keep certain groups happy and changing
The Watchman – The United Congregation of Israel
their names and appearances to more human like traits. This is not only the same mechanism by which Christmas, Easter, Sunday worship entered the church, but the pagan understanding of the trinity-god was brought into the church by the Romans—which most of mainstream Christianity has accepted without question. The hot-cross buns made at Easter, the cookies and milk left for the false god Santa, the chocolates and candies given on Cupid’s Day, the elaborate meals provided on the ancient Harvest Festival Day (Thanksgiving) even down to the king-cake and the baby [the little god baked inside] at Mardi Gras are offerings to ancient false gods [FOOD SACRIFICED TO IDOLS]. It’s a family affair, just as it is today!! ”The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, TO MAKE CAKES TO THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN, AND TO POUR OUT DRINK OFFERINGS UNTO OTHER GODS, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? said YHWH: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? Jer 7:18-19
Did you know that Mardi Gras is the ancient fertility Feast of Lupercalia? ‘Luper’ means to be naked!! But not only this, there are many pagan/ fertility symbols that are a part of the Christian heritage like that of the phallus – (the male genitalia). As an icon (idol) of male superiority (due to his creation first and the fact that the male is the only gender that produces seed), the male phallus was looked upon by the ancient pagans as the life-giver and was idolized for this reason. Their tributes can be seen in the monuments they built (right). The church steeple is a PHALLIC SYMBOL. If you don’t think so, notice the condom placed on top of this old church steeple in CAPPODOCIA Germany (photo left). It was put there to accentuate the importance of AIDS Awareness Week celebrated annually in Europe. Compromising church leaders saw if they could find some similarity in Christianity with the Mother-goddess and polytheistic worship of many gods by the pagans, they could increase their numbers by bringing many pagans into their fold. Of course, Mary fit the bill. So, the pagans were allowed to continue their prayers and devotion to the Mother-goddess, but this time names and images were changed to suit that of Mary and other Christian themes. Like-wise pagan festivals would continue with more ‘civilized names’ that Christians say were so-called “conquered for Christ“. And the course was set. But, how could they think to offer such filthy customs to a Holy GOD?? Let’s look closely at the worship of Mary, the Queen of Heaven. This Doctrine is a blasphemous an assault on YHWH. Mary is called the all-holy one, clearly a title belonging only to YHWH Elohim Himself. The worship of Mary is an attack on YHWH since she as the Queen of Heaven becomes the rival of the King of Heaven, the sovereign YHWH Elohim (GOD) Himself. Mary Worship Hebrew Tetragrammation which is also blasphemy against, not only the healing power of the Spirit, but against the means to exist, (I AM THAT I AM) Holy Spirit itself cause Mary is portrayed as The Comforter, The Sympathizer, Encourager and even The Sanctifier. This goddess worship is also an attack against the Son, Yahshua, The Messiah, where Mary has been made into a counterfeit Savior who has been assigned more importance than the Messiah by Catholic Christians. Mary has become the redeemer, provider of salvation, dispenser of forgiveness and the source of all blessings from salvation to glorification for those who worship her. Nearing the end of his life, Peter warned of twisting scripture and YHWH [YAHWEH] of following those who do: “Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked”. II Peter 3:1417.

The false doctrine of Mother-goddess worship is propped up by scriptures that have been twisted—and those who have done this have done so to their own destruction because they have led millions upon millions of people into idolatry. And, unfortunately Marian worship [the worship of Mary as Savior] is on the rise. Scripture tells us that with the resurgence of the fragmented Holy Roman Empire of our present day, 10 nations shall arise from this confederacy that is ridden by a woman – a rich and powerful church. Disguised as the true church, this queen whose roots go back to ancient Babylon, is called the Mother of Harlots (The false church) who has made the entire world drunk on her false doctrines (Christianity) and many abominations (Protestantism). Her cup of false doctrines formulated her many denominations because her doctrines are endless: Sunday worship, going to heaven, prosperity, etc. This caused her denominations to abound (ie., Baptists, Catholics, Methodists, 7th Day Adventists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons and the AME Church [African Methodist Episcopalian], etc). Christianity took on many new doctrines once the Apostles were all eliminated. Remember, the disciples were called Christians first at Antioch (Acts 11:26) but they were actually Messianic Jews, Nazarenes, who followed the Messiah and his teaching examples such as keeping the 7th Day Sabbath, the law and Holy Feast Days as commanded even long after the Messiah’s Ascension. This ‘voluptuous’ harlot church is the Mother of Babylon (Mary, the Lady of Kingdoms or Nations), riding the last beast whose end-time resurrection is to bring back her separated children (denominations) on earth together. The common ground she uses for uniting the world is to bring peace – (through socialism and the religion of the state) that scripture indicates will be as false as she is herself. Did you know that many modern nations were consecrated to Mary?? Hungarian people were consecrated shortly after 1,000 AD. England was consecrated as “Mary’s Dowry” in 1381. In the 1600s, Austria, France, Poland, Spain and Portugal (and their colonies) were dedicated to Mary. Pope John Paul II designated the Shrine of Our Lady of Europe as a potent symbol for the unification of Europe and a place where, under the patronage of Mary, the human family will be drawn ever more closely together. The shrine was setup in Gibraltar in 1309 by King Ferdinand IV of Spain. It sits not far from the Gibraltar cave where Phoenician seafarers set up a shrine to Astarte, the Queen of Heaven. This verifies her existence as an ancient pagan deity long before Mary was chosen to become the new face of the goddess. Even Muslims have their own version of Marian worship. As the Marian myth goes, Mohammed had a daughter whose
name was Fatima, to whom the blessed Virgin Mary appeared. Thus, Our Lady of Fatima (right) is displayed and revered in many Muslim countries as well. The flag (pictured below) is on display at Fatima. The Queen of Heaven is once again appealing to all of Europe to the worship of a feminine Earth Mother as seen by the worship of Sophia (the so-called feminine persona of God), because Europe first fell away from the true church’s teachings and patriarchal setting and then later even fell away from the partial truths held by Christianity. This New Age behavior has rapidly grown, having been influenced by the increase of apparitions of Mary around the world. This is simply the beginning of the ‘spiritual delusions’ that YHWH said he would bring upon mankind because they loved not the truth. ”Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause Elohim [GOD] shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness”. 2 Thess 2:11-12
And today, right on cue, the New European Community is awash with Marian symbolism. The flag of the European Community, a ring of 12 gold stars on a blue background, is drawn from pictures of the Madonna with a 12-starred halo around her head. But, the scriptures don’t speak of Mary’s Immaculate Conception (that is conception while in a sinless state). Actually scripture states, there is not one who is sinless, no not one. Nor does it give us the impression that Mary should be worshipped at all. It does educate us that Satan is a master of deception and for every spiritual truth,

Satan, appearing as an angel of light, has a counterfeit. Satan’s counterfeit comes from the true Holy Mother of Revelation Chapter 12; the Woman represented in Heaven. “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars…” Rev 12:1
Who is she? She is Royalty. She is Israel, The True Church, and the only nation of people on earth who are represented in heaven. The graphic depiction describes her as having a crown of 12 stars on her head; a star representing each tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel (see page 15). She is clothed with the sun (righteousness all about her); with the moon under her feet (truth). She gave birth to a manchild (Yahshua the Messiah) and who was ultimately taken to the wilderness to a place of safety where she was hidden, but tried. The original scripture identifying the stars, sun and moon can be found in Gen 37:10 where Joseph (a type of Messiah who would save his family and people from famine) described a dream that included his 11 brothers (the stars), and the sun and moon (his father and mother). “Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou have dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?” Gen 37:10
The dream was true and the vision, clear. Joseph’s family did bow to him when he became 2nd in command to the Pharaoh himself in Egypt – after having been a slave. Well the vision of Israel, our nation, is also true. Our people, the ancient Hebrew Israelites, were slaves in this land, but the scripture says, Salvation is of the Jews (John 4:22)…not the Christians, not the Muslims, not the nations and by the Mother of Harlots, the Queen of Heaven. “Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that sells nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts. Behold, I am against thee, said YHWH of Hosts; and I will discover your skirts upon your face, and I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame”. Nahum 3:4-5
Still if this is not enough supporting evidence that the nations of the earth still worship the sun, stars and moon and the mother goddess in our modern day, we have only to turn to the recent news. Say ‘hello’ to the Sun, says the June 2007 MSN City Guide. According to them, as summer arrives the sun is king and there are many ways to celebrate!! Nude bicycle ride anyone??, they asked. Here are the details of their article: “The summer solstice has long inspired Here unique celebrations, from the ancient pagans at comes Stonehenge to the modern day founders of Burning The SUN Man, the world over have been marking the longest period of daylight in the year with rituals and events that vary as widely as the people celebrating them”. There’s the Solstice Parade and Pageant in Seattle, and the Pagan Spirit Gathering near Athens, Ohio. The latter is one of the oldest and largest solstice celebrations in the country. One of the kickoff activities is a nude bike ride where the rider has painted his entire body to represent the Sun. But, let’s not stop here. Meet the Mother Goddess of Fertility, Yellama and her Mother Devadasis, temple prostitute Goddess slaves. Featured in a June 8, YELLAMA 2007 BBC News article, these ladies are simply modern-day temple priestesses who are trapped in a life life of constant ritual sex with men (any man willing to pay) in honor of Yellama. Although the practice of dedicating young girls as slaves to the goddess was outlawed over 50 years ago, there are 25,000 Devadasis in
The Watchman – The United Congregation of Israel
DEVADASIS
the city of Karnataka (Southern India) alone. At the temple of Yellama in Saundatti, India, the women dance and praise the goddess when they are not prostituting. The money earned by these sex acts go straight to the families of the women who act as pimps for their daughters; turning them into whores as young as 13. Families who don’t have sons to generate a family living automatically dedicate their daughters so the family will have a means of support. Once dedicated to Yellama, temple priestesses or Devadasis are trapped into this life to continue earning a living since they could never be married after becoming a prostitute, nor can they expect to have a normal life. The article verifies that the cult of Yellama is thousands of years old. The goddess of fertility is seen as a powerful force throughout most of India. Many believe that sacrificing a girl’s virginity to Yellama will bring good fortune to a family. [And speaking of fortune, did you know the word fortune originated with the Goddess Fortuna, the mythological Roman goddess of chance and good luck??] Jeremiah 16:19 declares that the Gentiles will ultimately discover they have believed, practiced and taught lies for centuries on end. The facts on the myths of their Christian beliefs confirms that prophecy since Christian does mean “to be Christ-like or follower of Christ’ but their beliefs truly do not follow the things Christ did at all!!!! Paul warned the Gentiles not to boast against the natural branches (Israel) because some of Israel’s branches were broken off so they (the Gentiles) could be grafted in. Not only did they boast, but for the past 2,520 years of their prophesied rule, they have believed more in fables and myths than the truth delivered to them by Paul. For their turning away, the nations will not escape their ‘visitation’ which will come during the Great Tribulation.
