I looked at their website and the misspellings and grammatical errors are off-putting, to say the least.
Which website are you referring to? There are many, many websites of the Bible Students.
This is probably the most comprehensive listing, although this still does not include all:

My own listings (which I am in the process of updating):
I you are referring to my websites, I do make mistakes and typos; if you have found any, please let me know so that I may correct them.

" I do not believe that there is anything wrong with Biblical pyramidology."
Well, I do, because it is based on conjecture...
"There was nothing wrong with Stoner's Miracle Wheat, "
It was not a miracle, was it?

As far as I am concerned, there is no "Bible Student" group, anymore.
So you deny that there are thousands of Bible Students and their congregations that do, in fact, exist? Of course, they do not believe in an organization such as the Jehovah's Witnesses, but Russell himself did not believe in such an organization. Yes, there is definitely a "Bible Students" movement still in existence.

No longer wanting to be a part of a high level controlled group cult is a good thing. Not believing in a sky god is even better.

I would say that it is certainly much less conjecture than what many add to the scriptures to sustain their trinity dogma; however, I would not wish to be understood as trying to force what I believe in this matter on others. God allows each to understand according to His will. One can be a Christian without accepting the Great Pyramid as God's stone witness in Egypt.
Nevertheless, have you studied the Edgars' work on the Great Pyramid so as to definitely say it is based on conjecture, so much so that it is not worthy of acceptance?

"There was nothing wrong with Stoner's Miracle Wheat, "
It was not a miracle, was it?
I would suppose that this depends on what one would consider a "miracle" to be.
At any rate, none of the Bible Students gave the wheat the name "Miracle Wheat." Evidently to either Stoner or one of his associates thought that the wheat was like a miracle, and thus it was called "Miracle Wheat"; Stoner and his associates were not Bible Students. Russell simply quoted the name "Miracle Wheat" from the newspaper articles; it was NOT Russell who came up with the name "Miracle Wheat" or the wheat itself, as some have falsely assumed.
The original Miracle Wheat died out as farmers became lax in following the instructions for keeping the strain pure. The "miracle wheat" that is distributed today is that developed by Norman Bourlaug. Neither Stoner or Bourlaug were associated with the Bible Students, nor are any of the Bible Students responsible for naming the wheat "Miracle Wheat."
Regarding Bourlaug's "Miracle Wheat" that exists today:
