The lyrics of this song would probably remind most viewers of a refrain coming from a Kingdom Hall.Not so! Isn't it strangelycoincidental how the JW's and Masons praise the same god!!

"Now those that are worthy,
Our toils who have shar'd,
And prov'd themselves faithful,
Shall meet their reward.
Their virtue and knowledge,
Industry and skill,
Have our approbation,
Have gained our good-will.

We accept and receive them, Most Excellent Masters
Invested with honors, and power to preside;
Among worthy craftsmen, wherever assembled,
The knowledge of Masons to spread far and wide.

ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH!Descend now and fill
This lodge with thy glory,
Our hearts with good will' Preside at our meetings,
Assist us to find
True pleasure in teaching
Good will to mankind.

Thy wisdom inspired the great institution,
Thy strength shall support it till nature expire;
And when the creation shall fall into ruin,
Its beauty shall rise through the midst of the fire."

Morning Glory

Hm, not particularly. Christians and Jews praise the same god, just not normally by a proper name. This is a stretch. Neither the Masons nor the JWs are unique in praising Jehovah. You've been brainwashed by the JWs for so long believing that they did, but they don't.

The tetragrammaton has been found in art in Catholic churches, for example.

Flippin heck - the whole of Christianity has become masonic JW and I never even noticed!

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.
Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven,
Feed me till I want no more;
Feed me till I want no more.

Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield;
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of deaths, and hell’s destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee;
I will ever give to Thee

Praise ye Jehovah! praise the Lord most holy,
Who cheers the contrite, girds with strength the weak!
Praise Him Who will with glory crown the lowly,
And with salvation beautify the meek.

Praise ye Jehovah! for His lovingkindness,
And all the tender mercy He hath shown;
Praise Him Who pardons all our sin and blindness,
And calls us sons, and takes us for His own.

Praise ye Jehovah! source of all our blessings:
Before His gifts earth’s richest boons wax dim;
Resting in Him, His peace and joy possessing,
All things are ours, for we have all in Him.

Praise ye the Father! God, the Lord, Who gave us,
With full and perfect love, His only Son;
Praise ye the Son! Who died Himself to save us;
Praise ye the Spirit! praise the Three in One!

Just to further this comment, a few also use the pyramid and 'all-seeing eye' symbols too, especially in the stained glass windows. I'll try find some links.

look at the second picture down at the top of the painting.

The name jehovah is a very powerful word in some occultic realms and to them it means in fact, satan. It's strange why the dubs chose to revive and use obsessively a name not found in the NT and not used by the Jews themselves for a long time now. The verses they use do not even say "you will be called my witnesses" but in essence "you will (my) witnesses for the miraculous works that I will perform". And they were directed to Jews who never called themselves witnesses of Jehovah.

Again, you have little, if any, experience with such things. I do. YHVH in no way = Satan in occult circles. You know not of what you speak. And, they don't use "Jehovah" anyway, but YHVH.

Hmm... did you know that Jesus is also a very powerful entity in many, if not most, occult circles? The mystery of sacrifice and redemption... The solar-phallic energy associated with Christ resides squarely in the middle of the Tree of Life, a tool an enormous majority of western occultists use. So, because occult circles use Jesus in their rituals, how does that make you feel? Does that invalidate the power of the Christ? I suspect not.

See the little oval in the middle near the top? Look what is inside of it. Pretty cool!

I understand that a Masonic group later bought the Pennsylvanian burial ground and adjacent land to build a Lodge. It was not owned by them when Russell was interred. The Pyramid was erected a few years after his burial, as a "fitting" testimony to his beliefs.

As has been stated, the pyramid is not actually a Masonic symbol, neither is the Cross and Crown uniquely Knights Templar (a number of Christian groups use it). Though at this point I should state for the record that there are also a number of Knights Templar groups, many of which have nothing to do with Freemasonry.
