Mike and Kim have a video about JWs being masons and their craft of deception. I starting to think they Kim and Mike maybe on to something. I believe Russell was a mason and the fact that this cult seams to be all about taking obvious things in the Bible and twisting them or out right lying or doing acactually what the Bible says not to do and then getting their followers to go along.
Example Russell's first book titled The Time At Hand predicted Armageddon in 1914. The Bible clearly states don't follow those that say the time is at Hand or the time is near. Luke 21:8.
I believe the guys at Bethel revel in getting JWs to believe and do the exact opposite of what the Bible says todo or teaches and then they as masons sit back and laugh.
