minister's commentary on bro.
russell.
"All through his life Russell told his followers NOT to revere him; He
taught them this so well that the publishing house he founded has never
published a biography of "Pastor Russell"...
The December 1st 1916 issue of The Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence contains Russell's biography. Evidently this minister didn't do his homework....guess I won't be buying HIS book.
has anyone else ever noticed that there is no watchtower in scripture as part of any particular teaching but there is prominent use of watchtower in dungeons and dragons type games and forms of witchcraft including spells involving watchtower?
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/watchtower_%28magic%29.
and msn search for watchtower alone & with magic spell or occult or witchcraft.. ct russell was a 33rd degree freemason ( illuminati) nutcase who read books by guys that measured the lengths of the halls in pyramids to foretell the future by.
As has been stated, the pyramid is not actually a Masonic symbol
the jw's will say that in jesus time, it was ok to have a beard because it was their custom back then, and today jw's should not have a beard because it's not our custom to have one today.. since the world is ever changing, it will continue changing, and beards might come back and be popular once more.. it's only a cheap excuse on their part, because they will never accept beards, even if every man wore one today..
No. The dubs will have to patiently wait on Jehovah until the Millennial Reign when the new scrolls are opened, and then razors will be outlawed.

It is the fact that I was raised in a Religion that never told me of its origins and when I was offered to become a Mason I chose not to as I thought it would be incompatible with Christainity.
I thought YOU have to ask THEM.
my wife left me 5 years ago when i left the jehovah's witnesses.
she got remarried saturday to one of "our" old jehovah's witness friends jay .
jay's wife, judy died 6 months ago of cancer.
How can anyone rationalize this Bull Shit.........in their right minds!
That's the problem with a cult, pard...nobody in it has their right minds...and nothing of it makes sense to one who DOES have their right mind! Fortunately you and the kids have got yours!
what pastor russell wrote for the overland monthly!
one researcher wrote to us asking if we knew where he could find the "originals" of the overland monthly in order to do some research.
we wrote back to him and sent him the links to the originals and thought other researchers might want these links also.

Seems that Pastor Russell was a very popular figure at the time he was asked, by the editor, to write articles for the Overland Monthly in 1908. He started off with a series on "The Divine Purpose", and continued contributing articles until his death in 1916. The editor may or may not have had an interest in Russell's message, but he could certainly recognize the importance of having such a well-known personage writing for his periodical. I believe Russell's Overland articles were particular to that publication.

Yup - the Knights Templar are not exclusively Masonic, either.

Are you referring to the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem?
That having been said he showed ignorance and avoidance of Freemasonry, for whatever reason.
I don't think ol' Charlie T. was ignorant of Freemasonry because he states in his sermon "Who May Know God's Secrets" the following: "As in some secret societies there are different steps or grades---for instance, all Masons are familiar with the secrets pertaining to the first degree yet not all Masons are familiar with the secrets, etc., pertaining to the thirty-second degree, so in God's Secret Order there are first principles of the doctrines of Christ which must be known to all who belong to the order, and are also "deep things of God," which may be known only to those who have made advancement by growth in grace and knowledge and love."
tiger woods finished the day with a +3, and when he walked off the 18th, there were a dozen or so in front of him, or had potential to be in front of him.
there was virtually no chance at first glance that he would end up in the final pairing for sunday.
the entire field came back to meet or fall behind him, except the aussie, stuart appleby at +2.
I'd rather watch paint dry.
after 4 years of having lurking through this forum (except one time that i asked an username and used it once),i have decided to participate in this.
i am spanish, i have been living in a small town in the north of spain almos my whole life (except one year in leicester-england), but currently i am lving in germany.
my story: i have been brought up in a catholic family, but the religion was never important in my familiy.
Welcome, olvidado!
I would like to study about religion more, I think it is a fascinating topic, but my "theocratic career" as a member of an organized religion has finished.
Glad to hear that. After reading about your involvement with all these religions, I was beginning to feel you were a "sloooooow" learner. Looking forward to your posts.
