John smith was a freemason.. he left them and uses the same rituals.. that's why he got killed.. he married a woman who's former husband wrote a book telling all the secrets of the masons.. William Morgan I believe.. he disappeared after the release of his book.. then the first third political party started.. the antimason party.. I'm not sure how it all fits together.. It's pretty trippy, though!
Yeah both my loving parents are witnesses. I feel your pain. We must except that we're not getting them back. We can however still show them love and kindness. But noooooooo. You're not going to be able to share info with her
Oh I must add I had a girlfriend for 3 years that was raised Jehovah Witness and I was ready traditional Christian dispensationalist all we used to have some interesting conversations thank God that's behind me today
Both of my loving parents have totally wasted their lives as witnesses. It's heartbreaking. They literally know nothing and get angry if you try to share information with them

The name of Russell's magazine originally was "Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence". "Zion's" in this name, however, does not refer to the children of Israel, but to the antitypical Zion, the church. In other words, in was a magazine designed to be of service to "spiritual Zion" as watching from a watch tower. Due to the fact that many thought that the magazine was a Jewish magazine due to the word "Zion's", the word "Zion's" was later dropped and changed to "The". The magazine was not published by a corporation to begin with, but it was published by Russell's privately-owned company named "Tower Publishing Company". However, the publication of Zion's Watch Tower in 1879 had nothing at all to do with the creation of an organization called "Jehovah's Witnesses". Russell preached against such an organization, and he preached against the message presented by that organization. In 1881, Russell created the legal entity, "Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society". Again, the word "Zion's" in the name is not in reference to Zionism, but rather is in reference to what Russell referred to as the "spiritual Zion". In 1896, the name was changed to "Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society". I did a digital search and could not find the name "Zion's Watch Tower Society" anywhere in Russell's works. Again, in Russell's creation of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, there was no "beginning" of an organization called "Jehovah's Witnesses". Russell'central message was the atonement through Christ, not Zionism, although he did also preach that the Jews would return to their homeland as prophesied in the Bible. Today, many Christians in many different denominations believe similarly, and are often referred to as "Christian Zionists", a term evidently not yet coined in the days of Russell. None of this, however, has anything to do with the Freemasons, except that some Christians who are Freemasons may have similar beliefs regarding the Israel's return.
Where you get that story of watchtower is different from Jehovah's witnesses. Who's publications are being used in the church and who's donations found the watchtower? Watchtower Bible and tract society is the legal branch of the Church. In fact, watchtower owns the church.
@@karlquiah1260 RE: Where you get that story of watchtower is different from Jehovah's witnesses. I am not sure what the above is meant to ask. I will respond to what I think it may be asking. Russell was never a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, and his Watch Tower was never meant to represent any organization such as the Jehovah's Witnesses. Russell actively preached against such an authoritarian organization. I have been studying Russell's works since about 1960, and have never saw any place where Russell ever spoke of the Bible Students Association as being a religion. Russell did speak of the true church. Quote: (1913) The one true Church, dear friends, is the church of the Bible. There never has been but that one true Church. All others are false, and if I built up another church I would be building up another false one. That is not our proposition at all. The I.B.S.A. holds out the proposition which the Bible stands for, namely, that all people who are trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, and consecrated to follow in his steps, are of the church of the living God whose names are written in heaven. The I.B.S.A. recognizes no other church. It does not say that only those in the I.B.S.A. constitute the church. -- What Pastor Russell Said, page 348. :Endquote. In his book, Thy Kingdom Come, Russell wrote: Quote: No earthly organization can grant a passport to heavenly glory. The most bigoted sectarian (aside from the Romanist) will not claim, even, that membership in his sect will secure heavenly glory. All are forced to admit that the true Church is the one whose record is kept in heaven, and not on earth.... When one joins a sect, his mind is supposed to be given up entirely to that sect, and henceforth not his own. The sect undertakes to decide for him what is truth and what is error; and he, to be a true, staunch, faithful member, must accept the decisions of his sect, future as well as past, on all religious matters, ignoring his own individual thought, and avoiding personal investigation, lest he grow in knowledge, and be lost as a member of such sect. This slavery of conscience to a sect and creed is often stated in so many words, when such a one declares that he "belongs" to such a sect... They are ashamed to say that they are not in bondage to any sect or creed, but "belong" to Christ only. :Endquote. -- Thy Kingdom Come, pages 185-187. And Russell also stated: Quote: I hold, and few, if any, will dispute it, that the one catholic or general Church of Christ is that mentioned in the Bible -- the Church of the Firstborns, written in Heaven.†If this be admitted, my next proposition is that the Lord in Heaven records as members of His true Church all the saintly-whether Roman Catholics, Anglican Catholics, Greek Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, or Presbyterians, etc. -- and none others. Have we not here the one Church, catholic, universal, the only Church which the Bible recognizes? In the past we have been too narrow and have supposed that God was as narrow as ourselves. -- The Bible Students Monthly, Volume 7 (1915), Number 9. :Endquote.
you've got a lot right/correct/accurate here. however, on your point re WT/jw not associated with Freemasonry, that is simply not accurate. WT/JW = Freemasonry, period. i take issue with some of Maxwell's points, yet, overall, his analysis is 100% correct, it simply can not be denied. another researcher with extensive work is Fritz Springmeier (Watchtower & the Masons) - Fritz also published the widely known "Bloodlines of the illuminati", and CT Russell is of the Russell family that is a top 13 bloodline. the fact that jw jargon has changed to mask the foundation/core of what they are, and they've tossed all Russell books, the fact is, at the core, the doctrine is the same - just updated. it is 100% Freemasonry - high level esoteric teachings are the core. Freemasonry, at lower levels uses Lucifer much, higher levels Jehovah. not just the names are at issue, the ENTIRE core doctrine
@@reslight a lot to unpack from your comment, wish had more time - please see mine below... WT = Freemasonry, period. WT/JW jargon has changed, and association w/ CT Russell massively diminished, his writings tossed for the membership, on & on. at the core, the foundation is 100% Freemasonry.

Russell and his wife legally seperated in 1909. Very few people know the she was the ghostwriter for his publications. She was educated and brilliant; he was of average intelligence and inherited his family's business/fortune. He was a pious man that thought he had a calling from God. He visited many different religions and admitted that he took bits of "truths" from various religions because he claimed that all religions have some element of truth. While he claimed in a speech in 1913 at a Mason's meeting that he was a Freemason, no proof has ever been presented that backs his claim. Yet, many masons joined the Watchtower in its early days.
Wrong info from you. February 16, 1852 - October 31, 1916 In an address delivered in a San Francisco masonic hall in 1913, Russell made positive use of masonic imagery by saying, "Now, I am a free and accepted mason. I trust we all are. But not just after the style of our masonic brethren." He further develops this idea: "true Bible believers may or may not belong to the masonic fraternity, but they are all masons of the highest order, since they are being fashioned, chiselled and polished by the Almighty to be used as living stones in the Temple Built Without Hands. They are free from sin, and therefore accepted by the God of Heaven as fit stones for the heavenly Temple." Later in this address, Russell stated quite clearly that "I have never been a mason." Those who claim Russell was a freemason quote this address out of context without noting the rhetorical imagery. Although the assertion is often made that the pyramid monument, erected to Russell's memory, is "proof" that he was a freemason, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, The Grand Lodge of Ireland, and the United Grand Lodge of England have no record of his membership.

Ct Russel was NOT a Freemason. However, he interacted with various Christian churches, Jewish think tanks, Bible scholars, theologians, linguists, Egyptologists and also took an interest in Buddhism and modern science and the technology of the time. He was a truth seeker who had very noble motives. A nice person despite his imperfection. It must also be said in this context that C.T Russel was not a leader in the sense of the word for the Bible scholars and a less than leader on earth for modern Jehovah's Witnesses. He must have been one of the founders of what later became the Bible Students and later JWs. But no authority like the so-called "prophet" Joseph Smith is for the Mormons. No! C.T Russel was a sincere seeker of truth and had to face great opposition from various religions.

I don't know why there an emphasis is being made about the name Philadelphia. Jehovah's Witnesses started in Brooklyn with Joseph Rutherford; the Bible Students movement came into existence through Russell, who started a group of Bible Students, not in Philadelphia, but in Allegheny, PA (which is today a part of Pittsburgh). I don't know how it is being thought that the Jehovah's Witnesses started in Philadelphia. As a child, Russell -- who was never a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses -- did live in Philadelphia with his parents before they moved to Allegheny. Russell was in Allegheny when he first gathered a few of his friends and family for as Bible study group to study the Bible without man's creeds. After about 4 or 5 years of deep study of the Bible with the aid of many scholarly works, Russell was elected as "pastor" (shepherd) of that group. There is still a group of Bible Students in Pittsburgh to this day. Of course, even if the Jehovah's Witnesses had started in Philadelphia, that proves nothing at all. Any thoughts related to Freemasons and the name Philadelphia has to be imagined and assumed without facts, so that what is imagined and assumed has to be imagined and assumed to be fact. Should we imagine and assume that "Philadelphia" referred to in Revelation 1:11 and Revelation 3:7 (Philadelphia) is of the Freemasons? I highly doubt, however, that most residents in Philadelphia are Freemasons; more than likely, only a comparatively very few people who live in Philadelphia are Freemasons. I have been studying Russell's works since about 1960, and I can say that I have no reason at all to imagine and assume that Russell spent more than 40 years of his life totally devoted to secretly sabotaging what he is supposed to have secretly supporting by preaching a message that, in effect, is almost the very opposite of what he was supposed to have been secretly supporting. I have found nothing at all in Russell's works that would lead me to think that Russell was a member of the Freemasons, or that he was in support of the Freemasons, or that he was in support of any sort of conspiracy to take over the world, as some have claimed. Indeed, the 40 years of his works show just the opposite, and that Russell preached against such a conspiracy and that he did not lie when he stated he had never been a member of man's Freemasonry organization.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Meanwhile, they change their prophecy every couple of decades. Coming of the end. The Creator does not make mistakes in prophecy. Nor does the prophets. They now let you use cannabis. Which is great. But alcohol was OK. All these years. The love saying " the faithful and discreet slave " line. Slave is one person. Not many men called the Governing Body. To pull people in. You wrote a lot about nothing. The JWs are a 503.c organization for profit. None of the creators' prophets were a business. Just stop it. They were and are still being used by elite people who are not from the creator.
@chadbridges4304 I have a video on my channel about Russell's grave and I have provided links in the description area to much more information. The name of the video is "Is Charles Taze Russell Buried In or Under a Pyramid?" I am not sure what you wish to draw attention to about Russell's grave, which is in Pittsburgh. Rutherford evidently had the original gravestone removed about 1923, and had it replaced with what it there now. The one there has the inscription, "The Laodicean Messenger". Russell never claimed to be the "Laodicean Messenger". In fact, he stated that he did not see himself in the Bible.
@zacmorgenstern7370 He was nutter to the average person because, in their mind, because most people God is money. They say they believe in a God. Let them not have money, including religious institutions.
HAHAHAHA. They are in no way talking about a new world order 🤣🤣🤣 they have the same beliefs but "heaven" is just the earth after everyone is wiped off the planet lol. I'd go as far as saying anyone that bashes other religions isnt a true Christian. 😁
Yup, Heaven is the Earth after everyone is wiped off the planet, so Jehovah Witnesses are not NWO. Can't argue with that reasoning, depopluating the planet to create Heaven has never been an NWO plan. Depopulation is not on the NWO to do list at all. You are perfectly right.
@@SkullyTheHypnoSkull haahaha the difference is "god" or "jehovah" would be doing the "dirty work" not globalists. Armageddon you would call it? Nowhere in the bible does it say a group of powerful people will depopulate the earth and dictate what you do. 🤣 nice try.

@@simplifiedlife8607 simply your life brother, accuracy is the issue I'm pointing to...not you personally...oh God forbid... JWs can't even find errors in their own teachings but are quick to point out errors in other people's statements. This is true whether you believe I'm ignorant or not. Example, JW teach that Gog of Magog is on this side of Armageddon while Revelation points to Gog arising after the 1000 years. This is a fact.

I have found nothing at all in Russell's works that would lead me to think that Russell was a member of the Freemasons, or that he was in support of the Freemasons, or that he was in support of any sort of conspiracy to take over the world, as some have claimed. Indeed, the 40 years of his works show just the opposite, and that Russell preached against such a conspiracy and that he did not lie when he stated he had never been a member of man's Freemasonry organization.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Meanwhile, they change their prophecy every couple of decades. Coming of the end. The Creator does not make mistakes in prophecy. Nor does the prophets. They now let you use cannabis. Which is great. But alcohol was OK. All these years. The love saying " the faithful and discreet slave " line. Slave is one person. Not many men called the Governing Body. To pull people in. You wrote a lot about nothing. The JWs are a 503.c organization for profit. None of the creators' prophets were a business. Just stop it. They were and are still being used by elite people who are not from the creator.
@chadbridges4304 I have a video on my channel about Russell's grave and I have provided links in the description area to much more information. The name of the video is "Is Charles Taze Russell Buried In or Under a Pyramid?"
I am not sure what you wish to draw attention to about Russell's grave, which is in Pittsburgh. Rutherford evidently had the original gravestone removed about 1923, and had it replaced with what it there now. The one there has the inscription, "The Laodicean Messenger". Russell never claimed to be the "Laodicean Messenger". In fact, he stated that he did not see himself in the Bible.
He was a freemason himself.
BS.
No he was not
Freemasons tell on each other all the time. They even write books. Does not negate the information.
He tried to become one but was rejected because he was a nutter
@zacmorgenstern7370
He was nutter to the average person because, in their mind, because most people God is money. They say they believe in a God. Let them not have money, including religious institutions.
Doesn't make sense

it doesn't make sense to a brain washed JW
HAHAHAHA. They are in no way talking about a new world order 🤣🤣🤣 they have the same beliefs but "heaven" is just the earth after everyone is wiped off the planet lol.
I'd go as far as saying anyone that bashes other religions isnt a true Christian. 😁
Yup, Heaven is the Earth after everyone is wiped off the planet, so Jehovah Witnesses are not NWO. Can't argue with that reasoning, depopluating the planet to create Heaven has never been an NWO plan. Depopulation is not on the NWO to do list at all. You are perfectly right.
@@SkullyTheHypnoSkull haahaha the difference is "god" or "jehovah" would be doing the "dirty work" not globalists. Armageddon you would call it? Nowhere in the bible does it say a group of powerful people will depopulate the earth and dictate what you do. 🤣 nice try.
you are washed mate
@@doctor-arne2820 pretending you know about something you actually know nothing about? Pathetic 😅
Jehovah's Witnesses are the true worshippers of YHWH
Changing the teachings all the time.... Ok left in 2017... Last week May 2024 I attended the meeting, it's so different...Elders now are using Beard...what was wrong Yesterday is normal today...soon. They'll be arranging gay marriages in the Kingdom Hall
@@denzelheden4256 Our teachings and our one God is the same It's been for many years.
@@adamlopez3561Are you comfortable with the way the Governing body promoted the Covid Vaccines and the fact that they were an affiliate member of the United Nations for 10 years before they were exposed by the Guardian newspaper?
@@davidegral7152 You speak trash
nope.
They were not founded in Philadelphia, it was Pittsburgh. What a bozo.
Charles Taze Russell was not the first president of the Watchtower and yet you/witnesses believe he was...so much for accuracy 😀
@@kodekubenini6163 Did I say he was the first president? I know that he wasn't. Best not to make ignorant, accusatory statements.
@@simplifiedlife8607 simply your life brother, accuracy is the issue I'm pointing to...not you personally...oh God forbid...
JWs can't even find errors in their own teachings but are quick to point out errors in other people's statements. This is true whether you believe I'm ignorant or not.
Example, JW teach that Gog of Magog is on this side of Armageddon while Revelation points to Gog arising after the 1000 years.
This is a fact.
Yet JWs continue to preach their own error as if it is the absolute truth 😭
I guess JWs are the real bozos😜
Are you a JW
Those are not JW teachings.
like all other false religion's they worship the sun and Charles Russ was just that worshipping Amon-Ra and Aton your world is a lie.
@@mrm8850yep they say Amen/Amon. Right in plain sight.
He's a liar!!
Amon-Ra and Aton worshippers charles t Russel Masonic NWO.most religions worship such god and we are to blinded to see such Truth.
If you belong to a church that's 501 c3 you're a Mason too you just don't know it.
