Was Pastor Russell a Freemason, really?

was pastor russell a freemason?.

by having clearly and plainly discouraged membership in freemasonry, it should be clear that pastor russell was not, nor ever was, associated with the free masons.

those who have accused him have done so with the hope that it will somehow show pastor russell had occult connections, and as a result would invalidate everything he taught.

Guard against "Independent Thinking"

yes when i heard them say to guard against "independent thinking" at .

assembles, congregation meetings, and in print, i immediately feel a cold feeling run down my back, like something evil and not jehovah.

thinking about it now, i can't" understand how everyone else who is still a witness cannot be just as unsettled by the admonishment to guard against "independent thinking".

Watchtower contradictions: The resurrection
by PinTail in
1. jw
2. friends
watchtower contradicts the first resurrection.

in april 1986, the watchtower stated that because certain first century "christians" taught that the resurrection had already occurred, they were apostates: .

yet, on this one basic point, what they were teaching as to the time of the resurrection, paul rightly branded them as apostates, with whom faithful christians would not fellowship.

Has anyone ever accepted a evil slave tract at an assembly?
by PinTail in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i did once, it was in ogden, utah events center.

it was after the afternoon talk and me and my ex-wife was walking to our car, and nice fellow asked if i would like to look at a tract, i said yes thank you.at that very moment this other fellow jehovah's witness came over and rudely jerked it our of my hand, and told me did you not hear the brother from bethel, to not accept tracts from them and to just look straight ahead.

needless to say this embarrassed me a great deal, cause there was many other witness's walking with me as well as my daughters seen me being disrespected, so i slugged that so and so, right smack on his nose and it knocked him to the ground, and i reminded him that i live in the good old u s of a, and i will read what i want!

I made my own emblems and got my own wine...
by PinTail in
1. jw
2. friends
yes, i made my own emblems except for the wine i got it out at the licker store, it was some good red wine we both drank it all during our little service, nothing added red wine, which is hard to find now days but i feel jesus understands, the witness's make big stink about it.

you know the bread is not half bad, we ate it all up like my wife said during the ceremony the apostles were eating supper so why would only eat a litter bit i am sure they were hungery spo they would not just eat a measly little piece like they do at the witness meetinngs.

i just put some flour in a bowl and added some water and whipped it up and dubbed it on a pizza pan and cooked it till it was rubbery to the touch of course i used some "pam" on the pizza pan first becase i did not have olive oil like they used.
