    pyramids!

    Do you think that Russell really measured it, cos i bet it was hard to climb up

    Pyramidology and how can the JWS deny that their founder dabbled in the occult? They can invoke old light but still Russell was wrapping that precious 1914 date around the occult.

    It would be impossible to deny that there was pyramidology involved in their date setting...but I wouldn't go so far as to say that they had an out and out interest in "the occult". but by using pyramidology they sure didn't do anything to steer people away from it either.

    I don't think Russell measured the pyramid himself either.(but I don't know for sure)

    gumby,

    thanks for clueing me in.

    As far as Russell, I do not believe he had an outright interest in the occult. During the time period he lived in, there were a lot of "ministers" who were looking at the pyramids for dates to back up the bible. Russell was not the first (a guy named Taylor was) and not the last. Also, they did not have the information we have today back then. The pyramids were even more of a wonder for them. Russell was overall a nice, sincere person, not trying to mislead anyone. totally unlike Rutherford! Also Russell did say a lot of times that you did not have to believe what he said. That his interpretations were that only - his interpretations. he believed we should have a personal relationship with God and that God thru Holy Spirit worked in all believers. Yes, some today practically worshiped him, but I dont think he would have wanted it that way.

    In response to all the other posts - please go back and find my thread called "name calling and bullying in the name of religion" - we can add saying f*** you to that too. Everyone, relax and enjoy your day. It is not worth it to argue.

    "can't we all just get along?".

    God bless all of you.

    You're right - we shouldn't call anyone b*****d's! Gumby is certainly an ole nutsack polishin b*st*rd, though!!! Methinks he's just jealous that he didn't think of the pyramid angle before ole Charlie boy, though it would have entailed him being about 100 years older, right enough

    no need to be jealous, the pyramid angle is sooo, not happening anyway.

    Michelle,

    you are right, there is no reason for that at all. I thought you guys were fighting over a difference of religious opinion. Sorry if I was wrong.

    gumby,

    didn't your mama teach you how to be nice? especially to women?
