Hey Fred....appreciate your sentiments....I am not implying anything bad toward CT Russell...just wanted more info on the subject...I found it very interseting when I read it and forgot where I read it...I like research....CC
This topic might get more attention later if you were to post again. It gets mowed over every so often. It has recently been mowed. In the mean time you may want to browse these links. There has been quite a bit of coverage on this topic.

Follow the links plm posted, cc, so we don't have to flame you.
No, Russell was not a mason. And there is no evidence whatsoever of a connection between the masons and the JWs.
Somebody should write a FAQ

Of course what Jan neglects to tell you is that Russell was actually a Crack-addicted vegetarian from Pluto and also opened the first Hot Dog stand in Northern Siberia. Very sinister if you ask me.

Hillary, not only that, Russell was in league with the Girl Scouts to over throw the government. It is all docuemented.
Now Larc, you are going too far now! Prove it...I want documentation and evidence.
You apostates are all the same - next you will be telling us that one of our former Presidents was an inebriated ex-encyclopedia salesman with no friends. Tell me, how can a person sell encyclopedias when they are drunk? Really Larcget a life.

Sorry Folks....Didn't mean to piss so many people off.....just asked a stupid question I guess.....That will teach me......Loved your comments.....Thanks a bunch

CC,
I guess a lot of people assume CT Russel was a Mason because he gave a talk to a group of Masons where he stated he was also a Mason, but in the talk it seems he was merrly trying to keep a common ground.
And he use simbols that are also used by the Masons other than that, there seems to be little else.
