Hey LG15 fans - new clue as to the religion of everyone's favorite faux videoblogger.
Suppose- for a moment - that the LonelyGirl15.com website is not a fan site - but official. Mind, I can't prove this (They privatize their Whois info) but suppose this.
Now suppose they use the site to put a clue.
LonelyGirl15.com just unleashed a new design on the site. Nice, whatever, but wait - on the bottom: Site Design by Darbyite Design!
Now myself being a graphic designer, I'm curious so I google it. And I get tons of results about a religion led by a guy named John Nelson Darby (the Plymouth Brethren and modern Dispensationalism - via wikipedia).
Of course this piques my interest so I search again, adding "aleister crowley" to the search, and - voila!
"Edward Crowley was educated as an engineer, but never practised his profession4. He was devoted to religion and became a follower of John Nelson Darby, the founder of the "Plymouth Brethren". The fact reveals a stern logician; for the sect is characterized by refusal to compromise; it insists on the literal interpretation of the Bible as the exact words of the Holy Ghost5."
Our friend Crowley has a Darbyite connection!
New clue?
I'm headed off, but this is an interesting lead - I'll research more tommorow.
