I'll tell you a story. Back in the early 80s, there was a letter read from the Society. It basically stated, that with all the new Bethels being build around the world, they were in need of older literature to stock their libraries. It was asked that any books pre 1960s be packed up and sent to the Society, particularly Russell and Rutherford era literature. At the time I lived in the Bronx, and we had several Bethelites. Our Hall was the first Hall built in NYC, it even had a baptismal pool in the basement (no longer in use). That Sunday, the library was packed and hauled off to Brooklyn. We had a lot of old books dating back to Russell. I was later told by Randall Watters that the Society had a bonfire with them.

Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated
by RolRod insometime 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..

From Paradise Lost To Paradise Regained: Is the WTS the sole promoter of this doctrine?
by Pallbearer inhowdy 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.

Plenty of groups believe in Paradise Earth, Bible Students, Jehovah's Witnesses and all their offshoots. As mentioned Christadelphians, various Adventist denominations.
It should be noted that even among mainstream Christians, many teach that the church will go to heaven and be with the Lord for a 1,000 years. While the earth is scorched and purified, then everyone will return to earth and libe happily ever after!

I agree Hermit ... although this monument is an embarrassing chapter in their history, I'm surprised the GB did not attempt to take it down and make it disappear like so many other embarrassments.
Still I don't approve of this. It's uncalled for.

Okay ... who did it?
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.

I don't believe anyone questions God having a name, the question is .... is the name JEHOVAH?
