The spoken word conveys meaning other than how it's written. Russell said he was a Freemason; and he said he wasn't a Freemason. For a man who supposedly wasn't a mason he knew an awful lot about their secret rituals and handshakes, somthing that non-masons are not supposed to know. I believe it's in the book Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough in 1933 where mention is made of Russell's mason connection. Another researcher claims Russell's name appears on file as a Knight's Templar in the mother lodge in Ireland. Maybe this semantic difference would allow Russell to claim that he wasn't an ordinary (blue) mason seeing that he believed himself to have a special calling from God since infancy. His elitist view of himself would easily qualify him as a KT. Apparently, the pyramid near his grave was built by WTS corporate affiliates as a reminder of Russell's links to the occult world of inner freemasonry.
