  C T Russell's pyramid monument gets taken away by the WTS.

  by Rafe in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  just recently the stone pyramid monument at c t russell's grave site was taken away by the wts.. six screens of the watchtower did a public discussion about the removal which may be still on that web site, that's where i heard about it.. it had been recently vandalized such the top head piece was removed and the carved christian cross on the monument was chiseled off.. since the wts owns that grave site, they have the right to do whatever they want to do with it.. my guess is that they will never put it back or redo the damage.. i think they will put it away in a obscure place and cover it, locked up somewhere.. the wts.

  has never been proud or willingly open about that monument for obvious reasons such as being associated in false religion, which they claim they are not and they admonish other christian faiths are.. your thoughts ?

  There has been a bit of discussion on this site already about this:

  If God exists, what would be a good reason why he never communicates or helps his creation by intervention?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower

  you have probably heard all kinds of excuses why god doesn’t communicates with his creation or why he doesn’t intervene.. some examples.. no one can see god because he is a spirit.. but we can hear god---yet he chooses not to talk to humanity.. god only communicates with certain people.

  moses, samuel, abraham, etc.

  but there are many people today who also claim that god spoke to them yet we ignore them but believe god spoke to people who lived thousands of years ago and we can’t really verify if that was so.

  A little off topic, but this thread reminds me of a joke my mom used to tell:

  How do we know there is intelligent life in outer space?

  Because they haven't contacted us.

  Most of what he says is pure bunk, in my opinion, but it is interesting. The only thing that maybe has some merit is that the scribes could have possibly used letters from certain words within the text in places, as mnemonic devices or simply to be clever. Some of the Psalms for instance are arranged that each phrase starts with a Hebrew letter in alphabetic order, supposedly so the singers could more easily remember the verses.

  Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated

  by RolRod in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.

  they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.

  although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..

  Since they seem to have hauled the pyramid off with the pieces mostly intact, I wonder if they have plans to place it somewhere. They have museums now, so I could see them using it for that purpose. They also have a cemetery at WT farms that receives burials periodically, so I guess the monument could end up there.

  When did Russell go to prison?

  The poster must have made a typo or misstated. Rutherford was in prison for a period, but never Russell.

  Definitely interesting. Not entirely convinced, but curious. There is a 'part 2' (apparently is not posted) which I would like to see.

  From Paradise Lost To Paradise Regained: Is the WTS the sole promoter of this doctrine?

  by Pallbearer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  howdy folks,.

  i am interested in learning whether or not the watchtower society is the only religious entity that teaches the "from paradise lost to paradise regained" idea.. the "idea" is that god's original purpose for man and the earth has not changed.

  god purposed for adam and eve and their offspring to reproduce and fill the earth and live forever upon it; but the problem of sin entered into the picture and temporarily interrupted that purpose from being completed.
