I have a feeling that the Watchtower not only gave the producer access, but they probably pitch the idea and funded the production. In other words... a propaganda film.

We enjoy the show also. It's obvious several of the new shows (Hero and Jerico) are following the LOST format in giving only a little of the story at a time. Jerico just is not interesting enough, seems more like a soap opera to me. Heroes has more drama and suspense, but I personally think it needs to progress quicker.

there is more the the story of russell and the pyramids than has been told.. russell came up with his chronology before he became interested in the great pyramid, and attempted to use the pyramid measurements to collaborate his chronology!.
he obtained the necessary internal "measurements" he required from a diagram of the pyramid included in the book by charles piazzi smyth!.
needless to say, the numbers obtained from such "measurements" were not accurate enough to be used in any prophetic calculations, so the source of these numbers was "obscured".. an attempt to indirectly "validate" the use of these numbers in russell's book, thy kingdom come was made by publishing within the book a kind letter written by charles smyth himself for the prepublication copy that was sent to him.. this was all an attempt to obscure the shaky foundation of the whole matter.. it was deliberately done, and shows that intellectual honesty was not a primary concern of charles t. russell.. now if he didn't actually write the pyramid chapter in his book, that might make matters different, although as the listed author he still had the responsibility of maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the contents of the book.. here is an interesting article about how the pyramid's measurements actually were changed when the 1910 edition of the thy kingdom come was published.. http://www.neirr.org/pyramidscheme.htm.
Okay, just so I have this correct...
Russell came up with 1914/1915 (how?) before he used the Giza measurements?
Thanks,

Thanks guys.
I just find it so facinating, all the stuff I've learned about the Witnesses since I left!

new biography of pastor russell.
ninety years ago the founder of the bible students, pastor charles taze russell, died.
the organization he established became fragmented and subject to strong personalities who felt they knew how to best continue his legacy.
It's so amazing to me that as a Witness, I never knew there was a splinter group. I never knew the pyramid measurements gave them 1914!
I thought I knew everything as a Witness. Ten years out, and I know so much more!

the watchtower teaches that the united nations and governments will turn on the witnesses after first destroying religion.. this is what they say in their booklet conspiracy against democracy, 1940, written by rutherford, page 48:.
"the leaders and rulers of this world, religions, political, commercial and their allies all unite in their opposition and persicution of those who bear testamony to the name of jehovah and his king.
when jehovah's witnesses make know publicly that it is the purpose of god, in the near future, at the battle of armageddon, to destroy all opposers of his kingdom, that message greatly disturbs and angers the dictators and their religious allies.

I had never heard this version.
