    Bear with me. I intended to respond to Globetrotter's ''atheist thread'' as I remember (way back) reading that the origin of Jehovah (as I recall) was that in Mythology HE was one of two brothers. Anyway, I could not find where I obtained this information so I tried to Google it....still no joy.

    I did, however, find something of interest (but I've lost the UFO thread to respond to, lol) - a quote from ''RECONCILIATION'' (1928) by JF Rutherford :- ''The Constellation of PLEIADES is the place of the eternal throne of God''.

    BUT the society ended its belief that God lived in Plaeiades in 1953 (WATCHTOWER Nov 15, 1953).

    Sorry if this has been posted before - it's all NEW news to me (both 1928 and 1953 being BEFORE my time).

    Thanks for your ''comical'' responses - lol - I just find it VERY odd that the Society (let alone anyone else) should believe/make up/witness that GOD resides in a Constellation. Where DO they get their BASIS from??

    AM I GOING MAD? This is NEWS to me - I am finding it VERY difficult to believe that JW said that GOD resided in a constellation- where does this VAGUE IDEA come from?
