Lol, you are so freakin paranoid, @vienne!
Why don't you just chill and be who you really are instead of trying to defend some dying hierarchy?
Move on, sweetie. Your value is not dependent on some stupid hierarchy.

Russel's connection is extremely tenuous, by extension so is that of Rutherford and the org. since, until this day.
There is no Record of Russell being a member of any Lodge, and their would be had he been a member.
Chas. Russell's Uncle, IIRC, was a member, but so what ? so were many in those days, more than now.
Russell no doubt thought it expedient to get the Masons to look favorably upon his movement, and maybe then buy some of his Publications, and so he used Masonic expressions, but we all do that in everyday speech, we speak of people being " on the Level" etc. etc.
There is simply no irrefutable proof of any direct connection. And we rightly expect quite a bit of proof, had there been a connection.

There is no record of the Watchtower having a problem with child sex abuse, according to the organization.
There is no record of the Watchtower twisting scriptures, according to the organization.
There is no record of C T Russell or Rutherford being associated with masonry, according to the organization.
There is no record of the government having anything to do with making money off the COVID pandemic, according to the organization.
There is no record of Watchtower affiliates running the JWN website, according to the organization.
