Charles Taze Russell and the Jehovah Witness

Typically, members of the Jehovah Witness would knock on your door to try to preach to you.
They did this to me at my home and other locations. Some Jehovah Witnesses talked to me
while I was walking in the sidewalk in Virginia. So, they are everywhere. For those of us who
disagree with the Jehovah Witnesses, we should be meek in expressing our dissent. We should
humbly preach the Gospel to them, because being an agitator and utilizing)abusive language is a
wicked approach in any endeavor in attempting to get your point across. Typically, among false
religions, they promote little association with non-followers of their religion and other extreme views.
JW founder Charles Taze Russell believed that the Bible could be understood by his sole
interpretation. Russell followed the Second Day Adventists a lot. He adopted the Adventist
terminology and applied that to his own theological views. Charles Taze Russell founded this religion
in about 1872. Russell even in his youth denied eternal hell fire, the Trinity, the Deity of Jesus
Christ, and the Holy Spirit (Jehovah Witnesses deny that the Holy Spirit is a real Person). In
1879, he popularized his views. He co-published The Herald of the Morning magazine with its
founder, N. H. Barbour. By 1884, Russell controlled the publication and renamed it The
Watchtower Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom. He founded Zion’s Watchtower Tract Society.
Today, it’s called the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. The first edition of The Watchtower
magazine was only 6,000 copies each month. Today the Witnesses' publishing complex in Brooklyn,
New York, churns out 100,000 books and 800,000 copies of its two magazines--daily. Charles Taze
Russell died in October 31, 1916. The President of the Watchtower Society later became Joseph
Franklin Rutherford in 1916. This religious organization claims to be anointed witnesses: “... God has
on earth today a prophet like organization, ... Jehovah's anointed witnesses on earth.” (Watchtower
1964 October 1 p.601 Pay Attention to Prophecy). This is a common occurrence too many times
among false religions in the USA. Their doctrines are not related to orthodox Christianity for many
reasons. The Jehovah Witness have their own New World Translation when the Scriptures are
preserved in the Massoretic Text for the Old Testament and the Textus Receptus line for the New
Testament. The Jehovah Witness view God’s primary name as Jehovah. Although, the name of
Yahveh is a more ancient name for God than Jehovah. According to the following link, the name
Jehovah is a more recent creation: “Some Christian scholars render the four-letter Name as
"Jehovah," but this pronunciation is particularly unlikely. The word "Jehovah" comes from
the fact that ancient Jewish texts used to put the vowels of the Name "Adonai" (the usual
substitute for YHVH) under the consonants of YHVH to remind people not to pronounce
YHVH as written. A sixteenth century German Christian scribe, while transliterating the
Bible into Latin for the Pope, wrote the Name out as it appeared in his texts, with the
consonants of YHVH and the vowels of Adonai, and came up with the word JeHoVaH, and
the name stuck."(website on Judaism Jewfaq/name.htm). Therefore, Yahveh is a more
ancient name for God than Jehovah. C.T. Russell disliked Christ's name so much he
wrote the word Christmas as X-mas in his personal letter. Jesus Christ is Yahveh. In the
JW‘s NWT Bible, they've eliminated words that show Jesus Christ being classified as being
God in the flesh. They distort John 1:1 because the John 1:1 is clear that the Word (or Jesus
Christ) was with God and was God. John 1:1 says “In the beginning was the Word and the
Word was with God and the World was God…” The Greek translation of the verse is: “En
arche en ho logos, kai ho logos en pros ton theon, kai theos en ho logos.” Jesus is
classified in the New Testament as in these words: “..they shall call his name EMMANUEL,
which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US." (MATTHEW 1:23).

Dr. Julius R. Mantey was recognized by the Watchtower as a Greek scholar since they quote
his book on page 1158 of their Kingdom Interlinear Translation. Ironically, even Dr. Mantey
disagrees with the NWT’s mistranslation of John 1:1. Dr. Mentey calls the Watchtower
translation of John 1:1 as: "A grossly misleading translation. It is neither scholarly nor
reasonable to translate John l:1 'the Word was a god. 'But of all the scholars in the
world, so far as we know, none have translated this verse as Jehovah's Witnesses have
done." "I was disturbed because they (the Watchtower) had misquoted me in support
of their translation. I called their attention to the fact that the whole body of the New
Testament was against their view. Throughout the New Testament, Jesus is glorified
and magnified--yet here they were denigrating Him and making Him into a little god
of pagan concept . . .1 believe it's a terrible thing for a person to be deceived and go
into eternity lost, forever lost because somebody deliberately misled him by distorting
the Scripture!. . . Ninety-nine percent of the scholars of the world who know Greek
and who have helped translate the Bible are in disagreement with the Jehovah's
Witnesses. People who are looking for the truth ought to know what the majority of
the scholars really believe. They should not allow themselves to be misled by the
Jehovah's Witnesses and end up in hell." (Ron Rhodes "Reasoning from the Scriptures
with the Jehovah's Witnesses" p.103-105)

The Jehovah Witness view Jesus as a lesser being than God Almighty (which is similar to the Arian
theology) and they view Jesus as the archangel Michael. That's false since the archangel Michael
was never human, never was crucified plus rose from the dead, and he was never called Immanuel
or God with us in the Hebrew language. The Jehovah Witness like all false religions view salvation as
accomplished by works (not by God's grace alone through faith). Being similar to Mormonism,
Jehovah Witnesses believes that God's first creations were the angels Michael (he becomes Jesus
according to them) and Lucifer. Later, Lucifer rebels, deceives Adam plus Eve to become
Satan. They view Jesus as having no bodily resurrection but Jesus lives in heaven. They view
Jesus returning to the Earth invisibly in 1914, which is a blatant false prediction. Charles Taze
Russell made that false prediction (about 1914 as being the time when the Kingdom of God
comes into Earth) in his words that "the Kingdom of God" will have obtained full
control in heaven and on earth, that Christ would be reigning visibly, that "the
saints" would all be resurrected, and that the city of Jerusalem would be highly
honored again. Russell made this false prediction in 1889 (and it‘s found in volume 2
of his book “The Millennial Dawn, The Time Is At Hand”). Russell even declared that the
Millennium would take place in 1872. That of course didn‘t occur at all. Charles Taze Russell wrote
that: “... that in the spring of 1878 all the holy apostles and other 'overcomers' of the Gospel age who
slept in Jesus were raised spirit beings.” (C.T.Russell: Studies in the Scriptures Vol. 3, p. 234). Of
course, the apostles aren’t raised spirit beings presently. This and other false prophecies from the
Watchtower group would make Russell as a false prophet. Other Watchtower members were other
false prophets as well. The Jehovah Witness seek an agenda about wanting to reestablish
Jehovah's kingdom over the Earth. They view 144,000 Witnesses to be born again to help
establish this new kingdom. They take the book of Revelations out of context, because the
Bible says that tons of people would exist in the new Kingdom of Jesus Christ. They deny an
eternal soul even of believers and they deny a literal Hell (A literal Hell was said by Jesus
Christ on plenty of occasions, especially in the book of Matthew). The Jehovah Witness
forbid blood transfusion, military service, no salute of a flag, and refuse to
hold public office. The Jehovah Witness is more strict than even conservative Christians on
some things. Thomas Heinze, in his new book, Answers to My Jehovah's Witness Friends, offer
guidance to those who want to leave the Jehovah Witness in a peaceful, graceful way. David Stewart
(although I don't agree with him on every issue like David Stewart saying that all people who claim to
be a Zionist want Arabic people to die or be oppressed. David made the false statement that Judaism
is Satanic when Judaism may be obsolete, but Judaism still worships Yahweh as God. The words in
black are Stewart's words and the words in green are the sources he uses) has found other people
documenting even a Jesuit connection to the Jehovah Witness religion. Here it is:

"...Dr. Bill Grady said it best in his excellent book, Final Authority..."Wescott and Hort, were a pair of
unsaved liberals whose open Vatican sympathies cast them as the consummate Jesuit plants."

"To regain her corner on the market, Rome created an elite paramilitary Gestapo unit that
would make Himmler's SS appear like a Sunday school….sparking what historians call, the counter-
Reformation. The infamous Society of Jesus was founded by Ignatius De Loyola in 1534, more
commonly known as the Jesuits…." They are the most militant arm of papal power to this day. Their
goals were to reclaim those that had left Catholicism and to attack the reliability of the Textus
Receptus. They would use ANY METHOD to regain control including confiscation, treachery, torture
and assassination. Jesuits will stop at nothing to bring the whole world under subjection to the
Vatican. The Jesuits ploy was to entice Protestants back to Rome. They knew they could not bring
anyone back into the bondage of Catholicism as long as true believers clung to the pure text. So the
Jesuits plotted to replace our Bible with pro-Catholic readings of Jerome's Vulgate. This would cause
the Protestant scholars to believe our text was unreliable, unreadable and not scholarly. Once
programmed, the scholars would attack the pure text, all
the while, believing they were doing God's service."
Westcott and Hort took two waste Catholic Sources (the Sinaiticus and the Vaticanus) to produce
their waste version of the Bible, Nestle and the New World Translation of the Jehovah's Witnesses,
written by Senior Jesuits Jose Maria Bover and A. Merkz, followed Westcott and Hort.
From the Forward of the 1950 version NWT:
"The original writings of the Christian Greek Scriptures, commonly called the New Testament, were
inspired. No translation of these Sacred writings into another language, is inspired... The Greek text
that we have used as a basis of our NW translation is the widely accepted Westcott and Hort text
(1881) by reason of its admitted excellence. But we have also taken in to consideration other texts
including that prepared by D. Eberhard Nestle and that compiled by the Spanish Jesuit scholar
Jose Maria Bover and that by the other Jesuit scholar A. Merk..."

9. *The Jehovah's Witnesses used Jesuits and Roman Catholic manuscripts to aid in the
translation of the New World Translation.
'GREEK TEXT: The Greek Text that we have used as the basis for the New World
Translation is the widely accepted Westcott & Hort text (1881), by reason of its acknowledged
excellence. But we have also taken into consideration other texts, including those prepared by D.
Eberhard Nestle, the Spanish Jesuit scholar Jose Maria Bover, and another Jesuit scholar, A Merck.
The UBS text of 1875 and the Nestle-Aland text of 1979 were cinsukted to update the critical
apparatus of this edition." The Forward, The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures,

Westcott and F J a Hort, and published in 1881." By Way of Explanation, The Kingdom Interlinear
Translation of the Greek Scriptures - 1985, page 5." (From http://www.jesus-
issavior.com/False%20Religions/Jehovah%20Witnesses/jw.htm)

Now, we know there is more to the Jehovah Witness than meets the eye. I first found this out by the
research of Robert Howard (from Hardtruth). To expose the Watchtower or the Jehovah Witness,
here's Charles Taze Russel's own words about exposure of false religions: "...It is not a form
of religious persecution to say and to show that another religion is false. for an informed
person to expose publicly a certain religion on being false, thus allowing persons to see the
difference between false religion and true religion." (Watchtower 11/15/63, p. 688). Charles Taze
Russell invented the Jehovah Witness. Russell is a family bloodline with ties with the invention of the
Skulls and Bones, the Opium Trade, and other interests dedicated to the manufacture of the new
world order. Charles Taze Russell was accused of being a Freemason. Freemasons deny this to this
day. Regardless, Russell approved Freemasonry and advanced Masonic beliefs plus symbolism in
his religion. There is a source called the Special 1913 Convention Report of the International
Bible Students. Under the subject of "The Temple of God" is a discourse by Pastor Russell
reported verbatim on pages 120-127. In that source, Charles Taze Russell says that he is a
Free and Accepted Freemason (not as a member of Freemasonry), but as an ally of Masons.
He admits that he had friends who were Freemasons. On page 120, Russell admits that:

“..Do our Masonic friends understand something about the Temple, and being Knights
Templars and so on? We more…” Russell admits that he approves of some of the doctrines
of Freemasonry in the same source:

“…I am very glad to have this particular opportunity of saying a word about some of
the things in which we agree with our Masonic friends, because we are speaking in a
building dedicated to Masonry and we also are Masons. I am a Free Mason. I am a free
and accepted Mason, if I may carry the matter to its full length, because that is what
our Masonic brethren like to tell us, that they are free and accepted Masons. That is
their style of putting it. Now I am a free and accepted Mason. I trust we all are. But not
after the style of our Masonic brethren. We have no quarrel with them. I am not going
to say a word against Masons, and I can appreciate that there are certain very precious
truths that are held in part by our Masonic friends. I have talked to them at times, and
they have said, How do you know about all these things? We thought nobody knew
anything about these things except those who had access to our very highest logic…”

"...If you feel that you want to become a member of the Free and Accepted Order of
Masonry, and do not feel free and masonic enough as a follower of Christ, God bless
you, use your own judgement; that is yours to decide not mine. But now I am talking
about this great order of masonry of which Jesus is the Grand Master. This Order is to
be entered in a peculiar way. There are certain conditions--the low gate, the narrow
way, the difficult path…”

"Although I have never been a Mason, I have heard that in Masonry they have
something which very closely illustrates all of this…”

As showing another view, Fritz Spring Meier (who said that Charles Taze Russell embraced
concepts from Enochian magic. This magic is claimed to have come from the research of
Kabbalist and Queen Elizabeth‘s agent Dr. John Dee. Dee popularized the concept of the
British Empire and the heresy of British Israelism) believes that Charles Taze Russell is a
Mason from his “Be Wise As Serpents” book:

“…Each of these explanations put forth, has some merit. But there is another
explanation. One that seems bizarre, so bizarre that this author dismissed it until
such time as he was able to confirm C.T. Russell's Masonic membership. C.T.
Russell's membership records in the Masonic Knights Templar are kept in Ireland.
The Blue Lodge records belong to the Grand Lodge of PA. Lady Queenborough in
her book Occult Theocracy published in 1933 notes on page 737 C.T.Russell's
Masonic membership. His Masonic membership must have also been common
knowledge to those associated with him, and those acquainted with the
prominence Russell gave to the Knights Templar logo…Evidence shows C.T.
Russell was not only a high Freemason, but prominent in their schemes, in other
words he was a key player. Watchtowers are very important to the very highest
Freemasons. The highest secret knowledge of many Masonic rites including such
rites as the Scottish Rite, the Rite of Memphis, the Rite of Mizraim, etc. is
concentrated in a high level group of llluminati.

The basic group of the llluminati is the O.T.O. The initials O.T.O. can stand for a
several names for this group one being Ordo Templi Orientis (The Order of Oriental
Templars). Its esoteric name is Order of To Ov. Its members also have been
referred to as the Great White Brotherhood or Atlantean Adepts, and have worked
with the B'nai B'rith. The O.T.O. llluminati teach their select group of initiates
Hermetic Science (occult knowledge), magick (called Holy Magick of Light),
Mysticism, and Yoga of all forms. The O.T.O. during C.T. Russell's lifetime
established in every important metropolitan area, including New York, a
secret hidden center (Collegium ad Spiritum Santum) where members could
carry out their "great work" concealed without interference. However, each
llluminati is nothing if he is not able to practice the Magick that gives him a
knowledge of the Watchtowers and the ability to enter the four Watchtowers. Is this
bizarre? Why doesn't C.T. Russell mention any of this in his writings?”
What more evidence do you need to prove the unscriptural, Masonic nature of the Jehovah Witness.
Fritz Springmeier (who wrote the "Bloodlines of the Illuminati" book) wrote that the Rothschilds
worked with Charles Taze Russell in sending Jewish people into Israel. That isn't surprising since the
Rothschilds would infiltrate the Aliyahs into Israel. There is nothing wrong with Jewish people
sincerely going into Israel, but the Elite controlled the Jewish people's movement into the Holy Land.
It's also ironic that Russell was buried in Masonic logo. The following images are his headstone to
the top and the Masonic image to the bottom in a bigger image.
The crown and the cross symbol is embraced by JWs. Masonic author Ray Denslow reveals the
meaning for the cross and crown image:

"The Cross and Crown may be said to be confined almost exclusively to the historical
degrees in Masonry as exemplified in the various orders of knighthood of York and Scottish
rites. In Gaul we find the cross to have been a solar symbol when it had equal arms and
angles; to the Phoenicians it was an instrument of sacrifice to their God, Baal; and to the
Egyptians, the crux ansata was his symbol of eternal life." (Ray V. Denslow, Masonic
Portraits, Transactions of this Missouri Lodge of Research, vol. 29, p.7---emphasis in the
original). The People's Pulpit was one of many literatures published by Russell with the
Knights Templar (or the cross in the crown logo) symbol. Theosophist writer N. Sri. Ram
wrote the Theosophist, which was a 19th century periodical. It had the same Knights Templar
logo in that occultic book. The Knights Templar degree is readily found in the York Rite of
Freemasonry as the source outlines. The Masonic crown and cross symbol is found in Mary
Baker Eddy’s old literature (like the “Unity of Good”) and in Mormonism.

The plaque on the gravestone reads "Watchtower Bible and Tract Society." That was an early
name for the Jehovah Witness. Russell talked a lot about "Millennial Dawn," "The Golden
Age," and the Watchtower which are Masonic and Enochian Magic terminology. Russell
wanted to establish the Golden Age, which is very similar to the concepts of the new world
order. In 1872, Charles Taze Russel started the International Bible Students Association.
According to Robert Howard, Russell had a secret Rosicrucian membership with the
Quakertown, PA group of Rosicrucians (as revealed by the pyramid he ordered erected over
his grave site). Russell enjoyed the use of the Winged-Sun-Disk. Charles believed that it was
Biblical. The winged sun disk is from the ancient Egyptian false sun god of Ra. This winged
disk with serpents on it still exists on the New York Assembly Hall in Queens, New York. What
does the winged sun disk mean for the occult? There are many meanings to symbols as we
know. The winged disk isn't just utilized by the Jehovah Witness. The ancient Egyptians, the ancient
Assyrians, Spiritists, and Freemasons encouraged this symbol's usage. Here's some meanings to it:

"Emblematic of the element of air, this consists of a circle or solar-type disk

enclosed by a pair of wings. In ritual magic it is suspended over the alter in an
easterly direction and used when invoking the protection and co-operation of the
sylphs." (Hope, Murry, Practical Egyptian Magic (New York: St. Martin's Press), 1984 p. 107.
Quoted by Fritz Springmeier, The Watchtower & the Masons, 1990, 1992 pp. 113, 114)

"... the Winged-Disk, with the Uraei of Egypt, the original of which we find in the text
summarized by Naville in the "Myths of Horus," pII. xii. ff.:&endash; "horus commanded
Thoth that the Winged-Sun-Disk, with Uraei, should be brought into every sanctuary wherein
he dwelt, and into every sanctuary of all the gods of the lands of the South and the North, and
in Amentet, in order that they might drive away evil from therein...." This is what is meant by
the Winged-Disks, with the Uraei, which are seen over the entrances of the courts of the
temples of all the gods and goddesses of Egypt." (Churchwald, Albert, The Signs and Symbols of
Primordial Man... “(London: George Allen & Co., Ltd.) 1913 p. 344. From a photo copy in
Springmeier, p. 114)

"The Winged Globe is pre-eminently a Rosicrucian symbol, although the Illuminati may lay
claim to it, and it may be admitted that it is of Egyptian origin. The Winged Globe is the
symbol of the perfected soul making its flight back to the source of its creation in the Elysian
fields beyond." (Swinburne, Clymer, The Rosicrucians Their Teachings (Quakertown, PA.: The
Philosophical Pub. Co.), 1923 p. 112. Quoted by Springmeier, p. 115)

Russell wanted these images to represent the new Golden Age, but the Scriptures are clear that
false god symbols aren’t just (or holy) emblems to outline the new Kingdom of Jesus Christ at all.
Also, the Bible is clear that there is no such thing as a Golden Age. Manly P. Hall's "The Secret
Teachings of All Ages" book have a picture of a winged sun disk on page XLIX. Even Helena
Petrovna Blavatsky (once the leader of the Theosophical Society) used the Winged Sun disk.
Blavatsky traveled all throughout the world to promote her occult doctrines (She even sent a 1891
New Years Card to the Dublin Lodge with that winged sun disk logo indeed. Theosophical
Magazines even in March 1989 has the same emblem). Fritz Springmeier have written excellent
research on the Jehovah Witnesses. According to Fritz, the winged sun disk was accepted by
Kabbalists as falsely portraying Jehovah as a sun god. Kabbalists view Jehovah as the Deimurge or
the Creator. Fritz shows ancient Egyptian images of the winged sun disk relating to a text about the
Pharoah Userten II. It's basically related to sun worship. Sun worship is one of the components that
occultists and other Illuminists believe in. Why would Russell do this unless if he accepted a sun deity
or approved of occultic imagery. Russell viewed Jesus to be the center of the Sun according to Fritz.
Springmeier outlines conclusive evidence of the ties between the Jehovah Witness, the Freemasons,
the Rothschilds, and the new world order (Hall called the Winged Globe as a solar trinity and it
represented the various false sun gods of the ages). JP Morgan funded Russell's Watchtower
Society. CT Russell claimed to be a Zionist but refused to preach the Gospel upon Jewish people.
Russell's form of Zionism was more political than spiritual. Even the B'nai B'rith financed
Russell (Freemason and B'nai B'rith member Frank Goldman escorted Russell to the
Hippodrome where he spoke for 2 hours). Russell predicting that Jews would return to
Palestine was one of his few predictions he got right. Why did Russell align with Zionists and
Jewish people like this? The reason was that he wanted to see his utopian dream of a man-
made Jerusalem capital to be a reality. Also, much of CT Russell's beliefs of Jewish people
like Jewish people not having to accept Jesus Christ as the Savior, Jewish people being
morally plus intellectually superior to Christians, the bashing Orthodox Christianity, the
nations of the world being headed by Jewish people during the Millennium (although even
Jesus is Jewish), etc. was strange. All of these views (as proven by Russell's own words and
Fritz Springmeier's research) might appeal to many non-believing Jewish people. This doesn't
mean Jewish people have no right to live in Israel though. Jewish people and all people have
a right to live in Israel if they want to. The World Headquarters of the Jehovah Witness is
located in the Crown Heights Section of Brooklyn, New York. It's easy to prove the agenda of
the one world religion and one world government since personages spanning centuries have
called for these aims from Walter Cronkite to Nehru. Joseph F. Rutherford was the new leader
of the JWs in the early 20th century. According to Fritz, Charles Taze Russell had a connection
to Masonic Hall. It's interesting to note that on Presbyterian minister's Andrew Masonic
Constitution from 1722- 1723, there is a Phoenix image. This image influenced the original
design of the U.S. Great Seal according to Manly P. Hall. Russell's theology is just a rehash of
Arianism (or the view that Jesus was only a good man and not Almighty God). It's a known
fact that Russell in his June 15, 1895 article praised Freemasonry and Secret Societies.

That is why the Jehovah Witness is Masonic in some of its doctrines. For example, Masons
and Charles Taze Russell (plus the Jehovah Witnesses) use the Masonic term the Great
Architect, both believe that Jesus wasn't necessary God but a good man, and each claim not
to be a religion. Both Freemasons and Charles Taze Russell each require they don't need to
renounce their religious affiliation to join theirs groups. Also, both the Masons and the JWs
outline a works-based salvation, each group have meetings in a Masonic Hall, and each use
Masonic buzz words and symbols. Russell praises Hiram Abiff when he's not mentioned in
the Bible. Hiram Abiff is mythical figure used in Masonic ritual especially of the Blue Lodges.
According to Claude McClung (an ex-high level Mason) in his book "Why I left Masonry,"
Hiram Abiff is the sun god Baal. In some sources, Hiram Abiff does have influences from the
sun god myths and Osiris. Mackey's Lexicon of Freemasonry on pg. 195 said that the Legend
of Hiram was Egyptian and related to the Isianic Mysteries (of the religion of Isis and Osiris).
Russell teaches that the Bible was written in a code as found in WT December 1879 on pgs. 5-
7. The Bible, on the other hand, is clear that God doesn't outline secrets in His Word. The
Bible is clear cut with its doctrines. Both the Charles Taze Russell (He called the Great
Pyramid of Egypt as of God) and Freemasonry are interested in Egyptology. According to
Fritz Springmeier, Piazzi Smyth (CT Russell's mentor) was the source for Manly P. Hall's
esoteric Great Pyramid information. Also, he was a source for CT Russell and the Edgar
Brothers' knowledge (They were lecturers of the Great Pyramid). For 62 years, 1891 to 1953,
the Watchtower taught that God resided on the star Alcyone in the Pleiades constellation and that
from this star he governed the universe! This belief was taught in 1891 in Volume 3 of Studies in the
Scriptures and was based on distortions of passages in the Bible. Joseph Franklin Rutherford
assumes control of the Watchtower and Bible Tract Society in 1916. After founder Charles Taze
Russell died, the majority of the WatchTower Bible and Tract Society's board members
(who were personally appointed by Russell) strongly opposed Rutherford's leadership.
Rutherford disagreed with Russell on numerous doctrinal issues. Joseph went into jail for
allegedly opposing the Selective Service Act of1917 and the Espionage Act of 1917.
Rutherford made the false prediction that the World would be a paradise by 1925. This false
prophecy rightfully led a huge exodus of human beings to leave out of the Jehovah Witness
religion. Joseph was accused of utilizing vulgar language and being an alcoholic. He
died in January 4, 1942.

The Nazi government collaborated with the some of the JWs and the Erklarung
stated that the Jehovah Witnesses supported the aims of the Third Reich. The
Watchtower in Germany had a swastika (according to the testimony of Konrad
Franke going into the Watchtower’s Magdeburg Headquarters in Germany) with
notes from the melody of ‘Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles.’ Now, William
Schnell wrote a book entitled, “Thirty Years a Watchtower Slave.” In it, William details his
experience as suffering in a Nazi concentration camp. He found that many of the Jehovah
Witness leaders were traitors (many German JWs were apart of the Nazis) working with the
Nazis. He protested to the world headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, but he was kicked
out of the religion afterwards. Although, numerous Jehovah Witness were rounded up into
concentration camps by the Nazis, so that was wrong. Typically, Russell and the JWs
promote false Bibles. The Jehovah Witnesses‘ official Bible is again the New World
Translation (which was helped to be invented by Nathan Knorr). Nathan Hower Knorr
headed the Watchtower by 1942. The NWT distorted the Scriptures in Ex. 3:14
changing “I am” to “I have prove to be.” They revise John 8:58 to reject the Diety of
Jesus Christ plus John 1:1. The New World Translation was released in 1950 and
even those who accept tons of Bible versions rejected it. Fred Franz takes over the
JWs in 1977 and perjured himself under oath in Scotland when he claimed to read
Hebrew, but he failed a simple Hebrew test.
*What conclusion can you figure about except that the Jehovah Witness (especially its founder
Charles Taze Russell) has ties to occult doctrines (like the fact that Russell believed that the
Great Pyramid of Giza is a time clock of Biblical prophecy when there is no conclusive
evidence to prove this), the Jehovah Witnesses’ tenets including its symbolism originated from
Secret Societies like Freemasonry, and the Jehovah Witness’ leaders have worked with others in the
goal of creating a new world order. Again, the Jehovah Witness refuse to have blood
transfusions, they refuse to celebrate any holiday (not even Thanksgiving or your birthday),
members aren’t even allowed to wear a beard (I wear a goatee), and you can’t served in the
armed forces. There is a dispute whether Charles Taze Russell is a Freemason or not, but he
certainly embrace Masonic-like teachings. There have been a connection between the Jehovah
Witness and the Mormons. Both are works based salvation and represent unorthodox views on
Christian doctrine. Mormonism was created by Freemason Joseph Smith along with Hiram Smith
plus Brigham Young. Smith according to Fritz Springmeier was related to the Merovingian
bloodline (The Bush family and European Royalty are in this family tree). William J.
Schnoebelen’s and James R. Spencer’s book called "Mormonism's Temple of Doom" is a book
outlining occult links to the religion of Mormonism.The Salt Lake temple is covered with
Illuminati/Masonic symbols, like the All Seeing Eye. That huge Temple is built with granite, which is a
rock which has been used throughout the ages for temples on earth power centers and for esoteric
initiation. The Mormons love the bee symbolism which is apart of the state logo of Utah. According
to Dr. Cathy Burns' "Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated" book (along with Texe Marrs'
Mysterious Monument book from pgs. 145- 146), the bee is found in the Goddess Venus.
Later, the bee is related to the priestesses of Elusis and Ephesus along with relating to
generative power. The bees to many occultists means the Goddess and to work toward a man-
made Paradise on Earth. Freemasonry hold on to the bee as representing the role of human
industry. Bee occult imagery was embraced by Mystery Religions for thousands of years. Even
Dwight D. Eisenhower’s parents were Jehovah Witnesses. Eisenhower was a General during WWII
(Freemasons were all over the Allied side during that war. These Freemasons include King
George VI, Winston Churchill, General George C. Marshall, General Joseph W. Stillwell of
Burma, Colonel James Doolittle, General Mark Wayne Clark, and others. Freemasonry teaches
the unbiblical view that all Religions are equal if they profess the belief in one God). The most
famous ex-Jehovah Witness member is Michael Jackson, who blatantly hates his own heritage by
intentionally disfiguring his face and skin pigmentation. His facial features is what God gave him, yet
he hated it, which is a disgrace. He was accused of pedophilia and escaped jail time. I feel that he’s
guilty, but a man is innocent before proven guilty under the court of the law. Hopefully, Michael
Jackson can live a better life than in years past. JWs have promoted a blatantly false Bible version
and have connections with false prophecies. The once leader of the Watchtower Society was led by
Mr. Henschel who unfortunately died in 2003. Their false doctrines are obviously apparent.
