I'm currently looking into the Aetherius Society and was wondering if anyone here had seen any accounts from former followers? From everything that I've seen they keep a pretty low profile and haven't been involved in any major controversies - which is pretty amazing for a UFO religion.
Interested to hear anyones thoughts on them!
After reading this thread today:
I have been going over the FBI document and the Margaret Storm book, Return of the Dove.
One name that Margaret mentions in her newsletter is George King. So I looked him up and found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aetherius_Society
"The Aetherius Society is a new religious movement founded by George King in the mid-1950s[1][2][3] as the result of what King claimed were contacts with extraterrestrial intelligences, to whom he referred as "Cosmic Masters".[4][5][6] The main goal of the believer is to cooperate with these Cosmic Masters to help humanity solve its current Earthly problems and advance into the New Age.[7][2][8]"
This is more stuff similar to Return of the Dove and The Law of One.
All of this is new to me. I just wanted to share this lead because I haven't seen anyone discussing the Aetherius Society here yet.
Wikipedia is gonna do a better job than I can with summarizing it, but does this line up with the Law of One material? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aetherius_Society I'm only just getting into LoO but wanted to see what you all thought.
Hi guys came across something called The Aetherius Society earlier, it certainly caught my attention. Any one know much about it?
Link to the mid-month follow-up episode here:
http://www.maximumfun.org/oh-no-ross-and-carrie/ross-and-carrie-meet-paul-and-oscar
Has anybody listened to this episode yet? Any thoughts?
I found it to be rather stunning. Basically, this is a follow up to their previous episode(s) about the metaphysical Aetherius Society in LA where two of the primary characters from those episodes come and discuss their response to hearing the episode. It isn't exactly a fight, and R&C are extremely gracious in giving them the time and space to speak their piece. Paul & Oscar, for their part, do well to demonstrate their hurt at hearing the episodes, and do discuss and describe many of their practices and systems. For me, their discussion remains rather unconvincing, but I'm a skeptic, and wasn't particularly ever going to be convinced by them.
However, this presents a new front in R&C's journey, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts. I'm also terrifically interested to see how this show develops from here. Will R&C take any of these issues in stride and make adjustments? Will they reconsider their approach?
Pretty compelling stuff.
Theres been numerous religions in the past that have tried to get people to contact these "aliens" and that they have been masquerading as different things in the past
small excerpt (read full wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aetherius_Society)
King claimed to have been contacted by many aliens, including Venusians, Martians, Devas, and the Great White Brotherhood to spread a message to aid humanity. This message exalted the promising future humanity has should Earthlings turn to better ways of living, while warning of the possible consequences otherwise.[72] King taught that humans had the choice of self-destruction or the enjoyment of a New Age that was coming to Earth. And that the Cosmic Masters had intervened via the Aetherius Society to help humanity into the New Age.[10][24][31]
As Zeller notes in his chapter "Apocalyptic Thought in UFO Religions," King believed there would not be a catastrophic end to the world, but that the planet is on the verge of a new millennium of peace and enlightenment and the Age of Aquarius. This will also require human effort.[30][72][73] The Aetherius Society's teachings share the individualism of not only other New Age teachings of the era, but of the Protestantism King grew up in, i.e. individual humans face the decision of whether to join the millennial kingdom.[31][72][73]

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Hey guys. I'm currently working on a composition that involves lots of small audio samples from cult leaders speaking, and some other stuff like chants, particularly disturbing interviews with disciples, etc. I figured this would be the best place to ask. I'm currently using a lot of stuff from the aetherius society, mother god and david icke, and need to diversify it a bit, so hit me with your best stuff :)
Thanks in advance
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
