    Is there any WT publications that endorse pyramidology after 1919 when Christ chose the WTB&TS as his congregation?

    Yes. William Van Amburgh wrote a lengthy thesis on this in the Golden Age a few years before Rutherford dropped the teaching.

    Here's one quote that shows they were teaching it after they had uh, abandoned false doctrines in 1918 (or was it 1919?):

    "...In the passages of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh the agreement of one or two measurements with the present-truth chronology might seem accidental, but the correspondency of dozens of measurements proves that the same God designed both pyramid and plan..."----Watchtower 1922 June 15 p.187

    Mary- Good thing they were bringing modern science to the Study of the Great Pyramid otherwise they might have gotten things screwy...

    Yes designs, good thing. And we can thank the good lord above for showing Russell & Co. the lite so that their words would never come back to embarass them or bite them in the ass.

    How can any JW see this and still believe in the WTBTS?

    Yeah, I know: Babylonian captivity. New light. Jehovah straightening out his organization....

    They were still publishing and using the "Studies in the Scriptures" during the 1920's I believe, certainly they held to all the totally goofy stuff therein when they were supposedly chosen by Jesus as the FDS in 1918/9.

    Pyramidology and the other looney stuff in Russell's ramblings was the "food at the proper time" that they were dispensing !!!!

    Makes a lot of sense that Jesus would choose them ?????

    WT, May 15, 1925, Page 148

    7 The priests of Israel were designated as angels or
    messengers of the Lord, at whose lips the people should
    hear and learn the law. (Malachi 2:7) The great Pyramid
    of Egypt, standing as a silent and inanimate witness
    of the Lord, is a messenger ; and its testimony speaks
    with great eloquence concerning the divine plan. (Isaiah
    19:19,??) John the Baptist was a messenger of the
    Lord, therefore an angel sent to perform certain duties.

    April 15, 1928, Page 125 might be the last positive statement about the pyramid in a WT before they trash it in Nov 15, 1928

    I didn't know that John the Baptist was an angel

    FYI: I purchased the e-book, but you can't print it.
