Default Creepy form of gnosticism?

I consider myself agnostic although growing up in a baptist home, I'm very open to all faiths(or non faiths) I guess I'm in in that finding yourself stage ((sigh))
Anyway, I was reading about this gnostic website(gnostic web.com) and they into some pretty out there stuff, and I'm open to the metaphysical...(also open to the possibility of no such thing and they re christian BTW). The thing that creep ed me out the most was their following of an ex-demon, Beelzbub. They talk about redemption and anyone can be saved, but the whole thing is a tad weird. So my thing is, can anyone explain to me exactly what that's about with all the OBE talk and following ex-demons?
I would ask the people on the website, but they seem a tad fanatical and I'm not into cults (not saying that they r one, but, ya know...)

Personally, yes, anyone into getting friendly with Beelzbub would creep me out!

following an ex-demon doesn't sound anything like gnosticism to me.

i just looked at the site- it seems more interested in making money than spreading spirituality.

That is a creepy cult of gnosticism alright. I never heard of it before. Sounds like a fun die form of gnosticism.

OBE is an out of body experience, they are real enough to the people that have them, they are not provable scientifically.as far as x demons as long as things die and batteries rundown and stuff rusts, this is called involution it is the property of disorder known as entropy in science and evil in society, as long as those things around they are a testament that evil is still working and has not been resolved or forgiven in the supernatural realm. to say that the devil has been forgiven is ridiculous as the work of evil continues when it stops I will believe that
