    Yes, Bandicoot, I whole-hearted agree; amazing how many jws went along with this bs back then.

    Here's the proof in print from the Reconciliation book.

    "For this reason the suggestion has been made that the Pleiades may represent the residence of Jehovah..."

    Hmmm. I wonder who made the suggestion? It sounds like Russell wanted to lend some weight to his crackpot theories, hence the use of the passive voice to infer that others have made this suggestion. I don't blame him; the leap he makes from the discoveries of his day to determining that the Pleiades is Jehovah's home is one that the most capable athlete would back away from.

    Old Light: Jehovah is from Pleiades.

    New Light: The Governing Body is from Uranus.

    Was this Russells idea or Rutherfords? Russell died in 1916 Oct 31 I believe

    I've got a feeling that it was Rutherford trying his hand at spinning weird crap, Russell style (cf. pyramids and such), before he went full CEO mode.

    JWs have always followed what seemed like was popular at the time, whether it was Pyramidology which was popular towards the end of the 19th century, the early 20th century was beset with cosmology after Einstein and Hubble’s theory, in the 60s and 70s it was the end of days from cosmic/Mother Earth origins (that’s where JW depictions of Armageddon started getting meteors and cracked open earth) after many Hippie cults, in the 80s and 90s it was the end of day due to nuclear (remember those Awake with nuclear bomb explosions on the cover), then in the early 2000s it was technological progress which morphed into environmentalism. They’re just following pop culture and are always proven wrong, within a few decades the posts on here will all be about how they followed the COVID and Environmental cults, it’s just a thing to appeal to the masses that ties their death cult into the popular causes of what could bring about fear and death, as if a god needed human imagination to kill billions of people.

    I marvlel at the absurd ideas WTC has floated, and I am simply amazed at how they pull heir head out of their a_s _s and never acknowledge that it was recently there.
