So said one of the earliest WT!
CRAP IN THEIR TIME!
Could you tone it down a little, badboy. This is any old topic anyway and you haven't provided any supporting information.

?????????????? Alcyone? Could someone explain the word for a stupid blond Swede.
Alcyone : The brightest star in the Pleiades, in the constellation Taurus
at least i think thats what was referred to..
I somehow doubt it was
"Greek Mythology. A nymph, one of the Pleiades."
Thanks
The below is an excerpt from the 1928 Reconciliation book....Likewise, The studies in the scriptures series also discusses this.
14 Reconciliationman sees that the earth occupies a place of great importance in God?s plan and purposes and that in his due time every creature in heaven and in earth will be brought into one grand harmonious whole or unity. To this effect the inspired witness of Jehovah wrote:
"Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him."?Eph. 1: 9, 10.The constellation of the seven stars forming the Pleiades, appears to be the crowning center around which the known systems of the planets revolve even as our sun?s planets obey the sun and travel in their respective orbits. It has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling-place of Jehovah and the place of the highest heavens; that it is the place to which the inspired writer referred when he said: "Hear thou from thy dwellingplace, even from heaven" (2 Chron. 6:21); and that it is the place to which Job referred when under inspiration he wrote: "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?"?Job 38: 31.
The constellation of the Pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man. But the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when compared with the Pleiades in importance, because the Pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of God.
