Russell used the Egyptian Trinity Winged Sun-Disk on his books and tracts. This use of the Sun-Disk is similar to 33 degree Masonic Knights Templar logo. The Winged Sun Disc from Egyptian mythology
which appeared on early JW literature. (Springmeier p. 111-115)

Watchtower's Secret Agenda

" i am very glad to have this particular opportunity of saying a word about some of the things in which we agree with our masonic friends, because we are speaking in a building dedicated to masonry, and we also are masons.

Russell was a freemason. It has been recorded in his own material, his admittance to being a Freemason." I am very glad to have this particular opportunity of saying a word about some of the things in which we agree with our Masonic friends, because we are speaking in a building dedicated to Masonry, and we also are Masons. I am a Freemason." Charles Taze Russell. (The Temple of God-Pastor Russell page 120)
No Jesus was the foundation stone; there were no stones chiseled out before he came; none could be accepted before that. He did the great work of founding this great order to which we belong, the order of free and Accepted Masonry. (The Temple of God-Pastor Russell page 121)
You know that in these orders of Masonry, as they progress from one step to another; they learn more and more, and there are Masons in the thirty-second degree that know a great many things that Masons on the fourteenth or sixteenth plane that would not know. (The Temple of God-Pastor Russell page 123)
Albert Pike addressing the 23 Supreme Councils of the world on July 14, 1889:- "To you, Sovereign Grand Instructors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees: 'the Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the LUCIFERIAN Doctrine. . ."
Mat 21:42] Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the scriptures: 'The stone that the builders (aka Freemasons) rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes'?
[Mat 21:43] Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit.A thousand years during which these Knights Templars are to scatter blessings to all the families of the Earth. We may not wear our white feathers now but we will all have white raiment by and by. "They shall walk with Him in white for they are worthy." Now the question arises, How can we become members of this order? Would you like to become one of these Knights Templar on a heavenly plane. (The Temple of God-Pastor Russell page 122)
"The symbol of Baphomet was used by the Knights Templar to represent Satan. The Baphomet represents the powers of darkness combined with the regenerative fertility of the goat. In its 'pure' form, the pentagram is shown encompassing the figure of a man in the five points of the star -- three points up, two pointing down symbolizing man's spiritual nature." ["Temple of Satan",

and yet another..
Jehovah’s prophetic word through Christ Jesus is: “This generation [of 1914] will by no means pass away until all things occur.” (Luke 21:32) And Jehovah, who is the source of inspired and unfailing prophecy, will bring about the fulfillment...

I called Brooklyn today...
by dins inhad a few spare moments so i called wts in nyc.
a pleasant woman who asked if i was the press, answered the phone and directed me to someone else, who then directed me to someone else, who finally put me in touch with someone who identified himself as patterson.. i explained that i had read the article in the guardian newspaper and i was concerned about the article.
he asked if i was a jw and i said no, my parents and grandmother are.. i then asked him what the response was.

They are looking into the matter...
What's there to look into? They knew exactly what they were doing.
They're acting like they didn't realize it for ten years. Give me a break.
They're just stalling hoping the issue dies down, and their drones will eventually forget about it.

To SCREAM or not to SCREAM???
by cyrano injw women have a greater need than jw men to stay ever vigilant and attentive of the watchtower's back and forth rules and regulations which they have the nerve to teach is "new light" from god.
if a jw woman is raped, she may actually face disfellowshipping from the body of elders who will interrogate her soon after the crime has occurred and will listen with the utmost attention to every little detail.
depending on the "new light" from the governing body, if she doesn't scream during a rape, she will be charged by the elders as an adulteress ... someone who may have actually 'enjoyed' the violent act because of her silence.

Thanks for the update Dungbeetle, it's amazing how they can push this garbage on victims who have suffered through such an horrific attack.

JW women have a greater need than JW men to stay ever vigilant and attentive of the Watchtower's back and forth rules and regulations which they have the nerve to teach is "new light" from God. Why is this? If a JW woman is raped, she may actually face disfellowshipping from the body of elders who will interrogate her soon after the crime has occurred and will listen with the utmost attention to every little detail. Depending on the "new light" from the Governing Body, if she doesn't scream during a rape, she will be charged by the Elders as an adulteress ... someone who may have actually 'enjoyed' the violent act because of her silence. Yet, this rule has changed back and forth several times. In effect, if a JW woman was raped in 1964 and she didn't scream, she would be disfellowshipped. If another JW woman was raped in 1969 and she didn't scream, she would NOT be disfellowshipped. Therefore, if a JW woman does not want to be branded an adulteress and taken away from her loved ones by the hate crime of disfellowshipping, she had better pay particular close attention to the latest vacillating "NEW LIGHT" from the Governing Body.
Take a look for yourself at the following list of insane "new light" vacillation.
It's enough to make you want to ....No. If you don't scream you won't be disfellowshipped.

(Doctrine not yet in force...pending flickering new light from the "holy spirit").Is this God's Holy Spirit in action? Do these vacillations in rules and regulations indicate that God is behind the men of the Governing Body?

Too Concerned Fiance:
Erik needs all the support he can get right now. Stick by him.
The WTS is a cult who's bussiness is fear and mental entrapment. It's not his fault, please work with him through these tough times. I know, I went through the same situation with my wife.
Erik, think about what the WTS said in Awake magazines before 1995 about it's purpose: '...to fulfill God's promise that the generation that saw 1914 would not pass away.'
The WTS removed 'God's promise' from their Awake magazines since 1995, check it out. Since when did God stop keeping His promise? Or maybe the WTS should stop speaking for Him.
If you doubt the blood policy, knowing that it might be wrong, innocent children have died needlessly. Murdered by a cult who only seeks control of it's members.
Continue to be completely honest about the WTS and it's history and you will find they are really just another man made organization.
They have just used people over the years and NOT ONE prediction they have ever made has come true.Think about their victims who died needlessly, because they were not allowed to get a kidney transplant, only to have the WTS say it wasn't God's will after all. Kidney transplants are now allowed.
Does this sound like God is running the WT or some old out of touch men in Brooklyn?
Things to think about, and I hope things work out for the better.
