  Thank you, yknot, kurtbethel, Leolaia, lovelylil, still_in74.

  Then, Russell was not a Freemason.
  But is it OK with the conclusion that he got great "influence" from there?

  Leolaia,
  Your explanation is interesting.
  If it is as your explanation, it means that that building was made around 1986 -1996.
  That is, it was built recently.

  But it is "too near" that I see and think this photograph.
  Probably, we walk from Russell's grave and can go in several minutes to that building.
  I think that this nearness is "abnormalities."

  Well, that monument of the pyramid was built eight years after Russell died.

  I feel as if Russell's grave had drawn the Freemason's monument and building near.

  I would like to also hear the opinion of those who think, "Russell was a Freemason."
  
  Here, isn't there such a person?

  The conclusion "Russell is not a Freemason" is true. Is it right?

  I live within 30 minutes of CTR's gravesite and have been there quite a few times. The Masonic center on the next hill is very impressive but as has been stated by Leolaia, there is no connection.
  
  If you want further information about CTR's and the early days of the organization, I suggest you contact a poster on JWD who is very involved with the original Bible Students these days and someone who has thoroughly researched the early days before Judge "Booze" Rutherford forced his hand at the presidency of the WT.
  
  That poster is RR. You can find him in the member directory and if you wish, PM him. I'm sure he will gladly give you all the info you need.

  :Although it is the problem already discussed by this forum, please teach me a conclusion briefly.
  

  No problem. Russel was a freak, a nutball, a dreamer, a psycho and a sexual moron. He never boinked Maria. According to the pictures I've seen, she was pretty hot. Why would a genuine male marry a woman and then never consummate his marriage? What kind of crap is that? I would have boinked her. ANY real man would have boinked her. Russel didn't boink her. What an idiot he was. Maybe he was too busy boinking himself. I just don't know what he actually did with himself. Gerbils? I just don't know.

  Oh, wait! Was he a Freemason? Who gives a shit? He was the worst husband imaginable. Who gives a shit whether he was a Mason or not?

  (He wasn't a Mason) So he was a wannabe Mason and a wannabe Husband and a wannabe True Prophet and a wannabe PyramidOlogist and even a wannabe writer: Maria Russel was a much better writer than Chuckie and he hated her for that.

  He was such an ugly human being that he didn't even pay Maria alimony and tried to starve her and make her homeless until the Court fried his sorry Watchtower ass and made him pay. And then even He didn't pay. His faithful drones paid HIS monetary obligations to Maria. I spit on his grave and I shit on his pyramid.

  Then again, I apologize for beating around the bush about how I REALLY feel about Chuckie Russel.

  yup, and a reptilian tail had grown up on his front instead on his back that he regularly used to sting his victims with.….. Funny thing is how often this kind of question pops up on here. The thing is there are far more insidious groups that deserve our attention and not an old gentlemen’s club.

  What Freemasonry stands for is what you are enjoying today, which is freedom of expression, freedom from tyranny and fanaticism, and lastly freedom from ignorance. Mind you that last one still needs some working particularly considering some question asked even on this board…

  zagar,

  I think I put your comment to rest here:

  "Oh, wait! Was he a Freemason? Who gives a shit? "

  HappyDad, Thank you for your suggestion.

  But I think that I probably do not have the time for reading it.
  
  And I am a Japanese.
  And usually, I do not read English and do not speak English.
  
  In Japan, there is no material which says that Russell is not a Freemason.
  The website written in Japanese is also the same.
  Most persons say that Russell was a Freemason.

  Hi, Farkel.
  In Japan, husband and wife's problem is called "Inu mo kuwanai."
  (The meaning in English:
  "No one in his right mind wants anything to do with a domestic quarrel."
  Or, "Even a dog won't involve itself in an argument between husband and wife.")

  It is not both fair, whether we the outsiders support a husband or support a wife.

  LOL Farkel, maybe you did if you meant "boinking" part, you might be right, mind you I've heard another side of the story about his "boinking holy adventures". Considering freemason's attitude toward family life, on that single count I can dismiss him ever having any connection except in his dreams.

  First of all, what is a Freemason?

  Is it a religious group?
  Is it a secret society?
  What do Americans think of the Freemason's people?

  Supposing Russell was a Freemason, is there any inconvenience?
