  no, charles taze russell was not a pennsylvania freemason!.

  this is the answer i received in a letter: .

  "after a search of our records, we determined that the three russell's were not members of our organization.

  William Miller was a freemason

  For what it's worth Miller was referred to as father Miller up until approximately 1926 in Watchtower Publications

  this came up recently with my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother, who swears up and down that there are no scriptural instances of this happening.

  i seem to remember a couple passages, but can't remember where they were..

  the oldest reference i can find is 2012, as follows:.

  "think of that if you are ever tempted to violate god’s command not to associate with your disfellowshipped relatives.

  " the watchtower 2012, 4/15/ p. 12 par.

  I know they emphasized it heavy in the early 80s after "The Great Apostasy" and Ray Franz was df'd.

  Any publication reference on that one?

  Yes this way they could distance themselves from the 6 years ago (1925) debacle when the resurrection of certain men of old didn't occur as Rutherford thought

  No Bible = No God?

  by menrov in

  2. bible

  some doubt about the bible completely, some partially.

  what if the bible turns out to be a product of humans, nothing divine.

  would you still believe in a creator?.

  Cofty: The wastefulness and cruelty of life argues strongly against a designer

  Not necessarily that statement implies that a Creator must be a god moral and must be perfect which is not necessarily the case look at Apple the company and other wonderful designers who are neither moral nor perfect

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have researched pastor russell and miracle wheat , has any one found out some interesting information?

  it seems he sold the wheat at a premium and promised 5 x yield ?

  he denies selling - as he did not know , but he is a snake oil salesman.
