After all I've read about this (here and elsewhere), I suspect Russell was a "wannabe", not an actual Mason. He fits the pattern--more vocal and rabid about the sayings and trappings than real members are.

Don't forget to say things like "Reproach on the Organization", "Stumbled", "Poor Witness", etc. Give them a well-earned dose of their own loaded language!

I wanted to get a list of arguments that illustrate how the Watchtower Society is or isn't following 1st century christianity today.
WTBTS publications exemplify what Pinytus criticized during the second century (according to Eusebius, Book IV, chapter 23--emphasis is mine):
"Pinytus, replying to this epistle, admires and commends Dionysius, but exhorts him in turn to impart some time more solid food, and to feed the people under him, when he wrote again, with more advanced teaching, that they might not be fed continually on these milky doctrines and imperceptibly grow old under a training calculated for children."

"Safeguard Your Mind" assembly targeting apostate thinking
by promised_presence ini recently attended the second day of the 2 day assembly for safeguarding your mind.
the first talk was entitled "feed your mind at jehovah's table".
the first portion of this talk specifically targeted apostates warning members to not listen to them "even if they were once strong in the truth or had great responsiblity in the congregation".

"... often bring out points that may be true, but are taken way out of context"
Rather like the way WTBTS uses the Bible in their publications!
