It took me a looong time to finish it, but finally I have finished it:
A very detailed article of why Charles Taze Russell was NOT a Freemason. Includes comments from WT historians such as B.W. Schulz and R.M. de Vienne, Barbara Anderson, James Penton, and The One We Don't Mention On JWN. = P
It's in Spanish for now, because I had written the majority of it in Spanish previously, but it should be relatively easy to put it in English.
If you understand Spanish, or don't mind using Google Translate, here it is:

Please, let's not scare away Mrs. Vienne from the board by getting her involved in controversies. I would love her to stay and chip in on historical WT posts, surely her input would be invaluable!
Thank you for your work, and thank Bruce for me too!

Mrs. Vienne,
I managed to see a preview of your book, and you say on page 340 that Charles Taze Russell's Uncle was a Mason.
However, Barbara Anderson states that Charles Tays Russell wasn't.
Were you referring to Charles Tays or another uncle of Russell???
Here is what Barbara says:
I requested historical information from the ANCIENT ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE OF FREEMASONRY, VALLEY OF PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, asking if Charles Taze Russell, his father, Joseph Lytel Russell, and his uncle, Charles Tays Russell, were Pennsylvania Freemasons.
...This is the answer I received in a letter:
“AFTER A SEARCH OF OUR RECORDS, WE DETERMINED THAT THE THREE RUSSELLS WERE NOT MEMBERS OF OUR ORGANIZATION.”
...
I never checked back with Ms. Waldman to see whether the other two Russell’s were Pennsylvania Freemasons, but there has never been any evidence they were, so I didn’t bother. -

Oops. Didn't see that at all. Yes, I saw only what Amazon said. Looking forward to reading your book! Thank you!Both our names appear on the title page. Amazon does bad stuff to author pages.

Hi Vienne,
Sorry, didn't mean to slight you. Thank you for the information. The reason I didn't mention you is that A Separate Identity lists Bruce as the only author.
I thank you for your work, however, and thank you for the input. I am glad Bruce is an honest historian. Can't wait to read his (your?) book!! -

Has anyone done a point by point refutation of Fritz Springmeier's The Watchtower and the Masons: A Preliminary Investigation?
by ILoveTTATT2 inis there a point by point refutation of that book?it's the source of all of the "russell was a mason" conspiracy.
i started reading the book and i noticed some pretty obvious holes in the argument... for example, he writes that the pyramid-shaped monument is "proof" and we all know it isn't.here is the book if you want to check it out.https://archive.org/details/fritzspringmeierthewatchtowerandthemasons1990_201603.

Earnest... how do you know that Bruce is a JW?
How can you still be a JW knowing the true history of the WT???
