by thecarpenter in

well folks, got back from my trip to see russell's grave site.

it was quite a interesting experience and sobering to see the pyramid right by his tombstone.

i'm kind of tired and will be hitting the sack soon but i wanted to post a few pictures.

Hey 38 Years

So what's with similarity between the crown and the cross in the lobby banner and the same on the pyramid?

There has been a lot of speculation that there is some sort of Watchtower (Russell), Freemason connection. I believe Charles T Russell's family was involved with the freemasons and there has been speculation that Russell was involved, maybe on a peripheral level. The images of the cross and crown seem to indicate some sort of connection. At this point, there is enough nonsense in Russell's books to realize he was kooky even without a Masonic connection.

Hey Kenneson,

I was at the grave site 8:15pm Sunday evening, the Masonic temple was closed for business. It is amazing that this part of the cemetery has no gate around it, you can ride right up to the pyramid and park on a side road.

Speaking of Tombstones, here are some pictures of Russell's about 20 ft to the east of the pyramid.

I was looking for secret writing on the tombstone but couldn't find any... then again, I forgot my infrared camera and masonic decoder ring....

I couldn't leave without getting a few shots of myself, so I posed in front of the pyramid for a self portrait... can you believe people say i look like bigheaded Rutherford????

of all the insults...

Hello betterdaze

In answer to your question, yes, Arabella Mann & Mary J. Whitehouse are on Russell’s Pyramid. Here is a picture, it is a little faint but you can make it out.

jgnat, yes the pyramid is made of panel built on top of a cement base and held together by mortar. You can see the panel seams clearly in this picture

Here is the pyramid in relation to the Masonic temple

Here is the temple up closer

And this is what I saw in the lobby of the temple on the side of the building, notice the crown and cross...

I'll post more pictures later

Hi Juni, there are a lot of reasons a picture may not show (your browser's picture setting may be off, you may need to update your browser, it could be a firewall problem, etc... try a different browser.

Here are some more pictures, This is on the South face side where "Dead with Christ" is carved on the top. Chas. T Russell was at the top of the book with John M. cooliage carved at the bottom.

This is the east facing side, under the "Watchtower Bible and Tact Society" name carving

This is the North face, notice the "Risen with Christ" words carved in...

this is the east face side, notice the crown and cross as well as the "Watchtower Bible and Tract Society" words carved in...

Here is something I never noticed before in of the pictures on the internet, there are carving in the books with various peoples names. Here is "Chas. T Russell"

I assume the books represent the book of life, this carving was on the south face.

from http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/136861/1.ashx : .

variable angina.. its when the arteries in your chest randomly all squeeze up just to piss you off.. the doctor said that this isn't heart disease and it wasn't caused by high cholestoral (mine is right on the money) and it shouldn't happen again- this was a fluke.. the doctor was really kind and nice and said that with the amount of pain i felt there's no way i should have maintained consciousness, much less been able to drive 25 minutes and then go to sleep.. then we ended up talking about genital piercings and body modification in general (my xray was lol.

) he was really kind and said pretty much, let's hope it never happens again.. .

Glad you are feeling okay.

i'm working on a video of jw beliefs with another ex-jw.

we are going to shoot some footage of russell's tombstone and pyramid and also going to interview a jwd'er about his exit.

i was wondering if any of you have any "reasonable" requests?

thecarpenter

Well, a buddy of mine offered to drive me to see Russell's tomb, so I am back in action. Hopefully I will have plenty of pictures posted Monday evening. Also I will send everyone who asked a couple of high res pictures.
