  Just recently the stone Pyramid monument at C T Russell's grave site was taken away by the WTS.

  Six Screens of the Watchtower did a public discussion about the removal which may be still on that web site, that's where I heard about it.
  

  It had been recently vandalized such the top head piece was removed and the carved Christian Cross on the monument was chiseled off.

  Since the WTS owns that grave site, they have the right to do whatever they want to do with it.

  My guess is that they will never put it back or redo the damage.

  I think they will put it away in a obscure place and cover it, locked up somewhere.
  

  The WTS. has never been proud or willingly open about that monument for obvious reasons such as being associated in false religion, which they claim they are not and they admonish other Christian faiths are.

  Your thoughts ?

  There has been a bit of discussion on this site already about this:

  Yes Dropoff thanks

  Just surmising who did the damage ?

  Was it an annoyed JWS who didn't like the Cross or the actually monument itself because its relation to the JWS ?

  It sat there quietly untouched for decades because most people including JWs didn't know about it.

  Then the inter-net started, the information age.

  I wonder if in the near future the WTS will respond to questions about a stone monument at Russell's grave site in the shape of a pyramid by saying Apostate lies !

  You really cant erase the information on the inter-net. it will always be there.

  The WTS used to hide the WTS's old publications by Russell and so forth behind a locked door, there was a reason for that.

  They could be hiding it or... move it somewhere that they have control over to make it a WT tourist attraction.

  Think of the photo opportunities -

  The family with Caleb and Sophia

  The family with C T Russell's pyramid.

  Does it get any better? Saves a trip to Egypt and the Valley of the Kings.

  The most damaging thing with C T Russell and Pyramidology is that it is connected to the WTS's dating of 1874 and 1914.

  OOPS !

  Give them time, some day they'll be able to tie it in with Rev. 17:8,

  '8 The wild beast that you saw was, but is not, and yet is about to ascend out of the abyss,+ and it is to go off into destruction.'

  It's just so obvious that it was someone associated with the Jdubs that damaged it. Perhaps even the Org itself. They probably wanted to remove the embarrassing pyramid but wanted to excuse to do it.

  My thought exactly redvip2000.

  Why chisel off the cross? Active dubs reject the cross.
