The constellation of the seven stars forming the Pleiades appears to be the crowning center around which the known systems of the planets revolve.... It has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of Jehovah and the place of the highest heavens;.... The constellation of the Pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man. But the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when compared to the Pleiades in importance, because the Pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of God. J. F. Rutherford, Reconciliation, 1928, p. 14.

Jehovah of the Pleiades Rutherford, as the above quotes demonstrate, believed that God was confined to a place or location in space. This place was identified as being in the Pleiades star cluster! Specifically it was claimed he probably lived on or near the largest or brightest of the stars in this group, Alcyone. In the August 15, 1925 Golden Age it was stated that the City of Zion in heaven was associated with Alcyone in the Pleiades star group. [3] They probably got this belief from Piazzi Smyth and Joseph Seiss' works on the pyramids. For example, Russell's Thy Kingdom Come quotes Seiss as saying: Alcyone, then, as far as science has been able to perceive, would seem to be 'the midnight throne' in which the whole system of gravitation has its central seat, and from which the Almighty governs the universe. [4] This quote came from Seiss' book, Miracle in Stone or The Great Pyramid of Egypt published in 1877 (Also a source for Russell's pyramidology). The Pyramid was viewed as "God's Stone Witness" that pointed to the Pleiades as the place were God lived. The connection between the Pyramid and the Pleiades starts with the book's cover which has a drawing of the Pyramid and seven stars (the Pleiades). In this book Seiss claimed (based on Smyth's earlier work) that when the Pyramid was first built, the entrance passage: ... pointed to a [Alpha] Draconis, the then pole star, at its lower culmination, at the same time that the Pleiades, particularly Alcyone, the centre of the group, were in the same meridian above. [5] In the September 10, 1924 Golden Age they were still echoing Smyth and Seiss' words about the Pyramid pointing to the Pleiades when it was first built: ... the position of the Pleiades at the time of the completion of the Great Pyramid of Egypt, "God's Stone Witness," is a very prominent feature of that building in the midst of the land of Egypt. For these and other reasons Bible Students have good cause to believe that in the region of the Pleiades is located the throne of Jehovah God,... [6] Because it was viewed as being where Jehovah lived (heaven) it was worthy of the Bible Students reverence (worship?) and study: If somewhere in the space among the Pleiades is the throne of God, then this group is worthy of our most reverent study. [7] When the Society ended its belief that God lived in the Pleiades in 1953 they stated that this "reverence" could lead to star worship: were we to think of the Pleiades as his throne we might improperly view with special veneration that cluster of stars.--Deut. 4:19; 2 Chron. 2:6; 6:18. [8]
What I do know is that the devil is very real if you are a true believer in the word of God. And as you probably also know; the devil has many names and that only stupid and ignorant people consider this entity stupid and a metaphor.

Well you've been duped my friend. Satan is the evil one, not Yahweh.
You will find out in due time of course.
But then it will be to late for your soul.
I believe the most interesting is listed in 2kings 18:4 which speaks of a serpent image made by moses which the children of israel burned incense too.

Everything i've been taught from birth - by good people - contradicts what you're saying.
So, pics or it didn't happen.
It wouldn't be so bad, but you're asking me to gamble my immortal soul.... you know what eternity is right??? I've had to spend enough years on this crapheap of a planet with all you evil nasty childish greedy idiots as it is, i plan to enjoy my rest in heaven with some decent folk instead!
Plus, people who follow the 10 commandments generally turn out ok... the world leaders, who all seem to be worshiping owls just fine from their boho groves, on the other hand, go around killing everyone and, as you say, are getting richer.
Sure, the chruch might not be corrupt these days, the people who follow religions might not be good, but the fundamental difference between "follow 10 simple and fair rules and forgive with love" and "do whatever you want, regardess of who gets hurt"
How can you sit there and justify sacrifice? doesn't the occult ask you to sacrifice babies too??? how thick do you have to be to convince yourself this kind of # is ok, as long as you get to do what you want for 80 odd years?

Now, sorry, but Christians never see those verses. See, the thing is, they don't really read their book they hold so dear, nor do they ever research anything about their religion, holy books, of Gods. When I went on a hunt for a religion that suited me, I researched them half to death. What wouldn't anyone do this, I wonder? I have yet to met even a minister who has read it cover to cover, used a good Strong's, and Hebrew to English dictoinary. Now days, all the read is the "New Translation" of the New Testament.
