Something to keep in mind, is that the Freemasons are non denominational, meaning you can be a Protestant, Catholic, Presbyterian,
Seventh Day Adventist or whatever. Since both Russell and Rutherford were deemed religious Minsters, this was most likely why they
were allowed to use Freemason Halls to give their public talks.
CA, in this theory, the Secret Masons would WANT Russell to deny his connection and even want him to discourage his people from joining. They approach you, not the other way around.

Everybody do some research on masons and the word, "Jehovah". That could also be why the society commanded us to not be able to join them. Out of all relgions, supposedly only to masons does the word "Jehovah" mean something.
why are some trying to grasp at circumstantial evidence to prove this?
Because if someone can prove that Russell was a Mason, a secret organization, it gives more proof to use to show that the JW history is rooted in corruption. It would give someone another proof to use towards a current JW. It would not be a very good one, but it would be something. Even if it was proved, most JWs would not care in the least. New light and all that.
But I think the biggest reason is that everyone loves a good conspiracy. To uncover a lie and show that it was kept secret for years...it's intriguing.
He never said he was a Mason ,but he used Masonic Symbols ,thought as a Mason and structured Jehovah's Witnesses as a Freemasonic Pyramid ,from which we still suffer opression from the leaders today .How cares if he had real ties ,the ideology and symbols survive today .Deception lies and power distribution in the form of a pyramid....
That is something on my list for later, I can't really get to that for another month or 2, but after my current project, I am going to look more into it. It's still been strange to me why we go on Jehovah and not Yahweh, and how it got from Yahweh to Jehovah, etc

Not true. This is what the WT says, but there are many religions that still use the word Jehovah. Many Baptists use the name "Jehovah". In fact here is a church called "Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church".

They may not have been Freemasons but both Russell and Rutherford were bogus religious charlatans running a religious publishing house.
And that is the true and acknowledged fact irregardless.
Many would call you fool for believing this, including me. You arrogantly assume you have enough information to make such a conclusion. You think science can provide answers when studying something that lies to you? LOL! For starters to use science to tell this particular tale you'd need the right instruments which haven't been invented yet. Which is why you appear to be taking wild shots in the dark.
Sab, they believe in supernatural forces, a "Supreme Being". That's an instant DQ, as NO rational person believes in ghosts, angels, devils, etc....

Yeah, that's a pseudo-intellectual phase that most adolescents go thru ("Bigger Secrets", Alex Jones' infowars.com, George Noorey Coast to Coast, etc), and some apparently get stuck in for the rest of their lives.... Tragic, really, as they're the same ones who incessantly get fooled by e-mail urban legends, etc.

This is a huge point. To me the Watchtower Citizens are part of some sort of Masonic scheme. All they need to hear is the word "Jehovah" and it gives them a tingle. Why instill that kind of devotion to that particular name? There are many names to build a brand off of. There is strong evidence that the word "Jehovah" could be a conjoining of two armaic words "Yah" and "Hovah" which would mean "God of Wickedness" or "God of Destruction." I speak about it in this thread.
