Russell's Gravesite Pictures - (just got back from Pittsburgh) (page 4)

Must be the demunz (LOL) thecarpenter because all of your pictures are showing now. I DID NOT change a thing w/my browser. Very interesting and odd!! Thanks for sharing these.

Interesting thread. And to think that I wasted 21 years of my life in a religion who claimed that Charles T. Russell was chosen by Jehovah to carry on "the pure Christian faith" .......... How the holy h*** did I fall for this? It's amazing how clear "the truth" is when the veil has been lifted.

Juni, you are funny!

If you read further in that 1919 program, it states that they just celebrated the Birth of Christ and how great the new year was. (excellent resource! THANKS!)

Thanks for the pics Carpenter, good job.

How can anyone with a level head learn of these things, and think THIS is how God wanted to start his organization? PU-leaze!

WELL DONE ALL.

I was PM'd for the Google Earth's co-ordinates for the gravesite, here you go;

Latitude: 40°30'35.58"N

Longitude: 80° 0'56.37"W

I hadn't realized until I saw these high quality photos (thanks, Carpenter) that the pyramid is not a solid carving but rather four panels fitted together with a capstone. I imagine the interior is either empty or cement.

Puprs, the numbers, -1, -2, -3, etc are supposedly in reference to the measurements within the pyramid the "prove" Russell's prophecy.

THANKS, steve

Thanks for the pics, thecarpenter, these are some of the best I've seen!

cabasilas asks: I wonder if there are any other Bible Students buried there? Does anyone know?

In addition to the names already mentioned,

Arabella Mann & Mary J. Whitehouse on Russell’s Pyramid?

I also heard that per Russell's instructions there where to be no people of color buried above him in the cemetery

Kind of like with me, my instruction are No JW's buried above me.

Hello betterdaze

In answer to your question, yes, Arabella Mann & Mary J. Whitehouse are on Russell’s Pyramid. Here is a picture, it is a little faint but you can make it out.

jgnat, yes the pyramid is made of panel built on top of a cement base and held together by mortar. You can see the panel seams clearly in this picture
