i believe the masons we're anti christs, tomas jefferson i read even wrote a bible leaving out anything to do with jesus because these masons new the christ was just a retelling of older god's, some of these gods being from the egyptian religion.. russell was said to be a mason and it's interesting that he traveled to egypt to confirm some of his beliefs.
then after he returns home his religion becomes more like that of the ancient egyptian religion then probably any other christians sect.
like the egyptians the jws believe in a two class system one class goes to heaven to be with god, just like the pharaoh's and the other rank and file class goes to a paradise called the field of reeds.
Knuclehead said, "...is it wrong to ask a question on this forum?"
No, asking questions is ENCOURAGED.
You dumped a crap-load of specious statements and summed up with one question: "So is there anyway to connect the dots to see if Russell a Mason, and learns Egyptian religion, is an ati Christ etc.?"
I CHALLENGE YOU to prepare a brief report on what your research reveals. I think you just want other people to do your homework for you. Prove me wrong, Nutcake!

Trying hard to live up to that CRAZYGUY avatar, huh?
You are 100% wrong about the Jefferson Bible. Rather than leaving OUT Jesus, it contains ONLY what Jesus is supposed to have said. Here's a radical idea: LOOK IT UP.
And you are correct, Russell WAS SAID to be a Mason by people who didn't know what they were talking about. You could LOOK THAT UP TOO, but why bother if it makes your head hurt?
You are also right - probably as a result of a happy accident, certainly not by design - that Russell travelled to Egypt and was very much influence by pyramidology.
Your posts, CRAZGUY, are antimatter for the thinking mind. You're *special*.
the watchtower 2007 feb 15 pp.30-31 explains why jehovah's witnesses are not to toast.
what is astounding is that for each point they then go on an explain why the point is irrelevant, yet still conclude toasting is wrong.
what did people think when reading this?
OK, so toasting is WRONG.
Is a GRILLED CHEESE sandwich pagan too?
i know this sounds like a ridiculous question but i was talking with my mom in the car today and of course we got on the topic of getting babtized again.
she told me that jehovah holds me accountable for my sins regardless of wether i am babtized or not so i have no reason to be holding back because it won't change anything.
my parents are the type of super strict jw who will shun you just for not being a witness.
IF your heart's desire is t become an XJW, then YES, you should get baptized, because baptism is the FIRST STEP to becoming an XJW.
before i start my subject post, i like to extend a warm welcome to all the new members that have joined the site.
i just can't keep up with all the new names.

i am researching jw history, and i am doing research on ernest henninges.. he wrote a journal called the new covenant advocate and kingdom herald.

I think you are honor-bound to forfeit the info you seek.
There are RULES, you know.
i did not realize that they were symptoms that something was wrong with my cat -but i did notice that my cat was breathing a little differently for a period of about a few days.
i also noticed prior and after to that, that on occasion, my cat would cry at the litter box, but that was a very seldom event.. anyway, about a week ago i noticed the symptom that my very loved cat was breathing heavy.
so i called a taxi and i was going to rush him to emergency room for cats.
My condolences, Fisherman. I know how this can hurt.
i'm new here, so please forgive me if i'm getting this all wrong.. i read on one of the web pages that the society has written "we should pray for the death of apostates".
i think this was a 2000 watchtower, but to be honest i was so shocked at reading it that i forgot to make a note.. .
can anybody enlighten me please??
yet another child abuse case.

i live in kilmarnock, this freak is being trialled at kilmarnock sheriff court.
Is that Kilmarnock, Wyoming or Kilmarnock, Afghanistan?
Or is Kilmarnock one of the micro-moons of Titan?
I'm being an ass.
Accuracy in communications is just another way "the man" (in this case, ME) keeps you down.
not being familiar with either, my question is:.
what is the relationship between evolution and atheism?.
i'd love to hear from anyone and everyone, and also from any perspective.. without limiting the conversation in any way, i would of course also appreciate comments that are simple, clear, direct and correct (as i don't have the capacity to do a phd in evolution or atheism)..
Q.: What is the relationship between evolution and atheism?
A.: They are both words found in a dictionary of the English language.
