One word : The writer is seriously deluded, If 've ever read sensationalist crap , then this has to be it - get real dude!
The masonic link and Russsell have been investgated from almost every angle over a number of decades now and anyone with any reasonable amount of intelligence and interest in the subject knows that these have largely been disregarded. I'm not a Watchtower appologist, but this hinges on lunacy.

LMAO!! Did you guys actually watch that movie called Groundhog Day? Because this is exactly how this look. Every so often same topic, same arguments, same "reasoning". This topic has been discussed to death already. Read my lips. Russell WAS NOT a Freemason. Full stop!

It is not as if being a Mason is a bad thing. Masons were at the forefront of the 18th century Enlightenment. The 18th century Masons were liberal minded folks who believed that individuals should have political and religious liberty. 18th century Masons believed that reason and science will improve humanity. 18th centry Masons were the driving force to free individuals from the authoritarian tyranny of the Church and Monarchy. Modern day Masons are very good people who do not engage in any conspiracies. Anti-Masonic rhetoric is unproven baloney.

Simply stated, conspiracy theories are typcially a secularized belief explaining the presence of evil in the world. While usually (but not allways) rejecting traditional religious beliefs built on mythologies, their own speculations about the evil in the world take on much of the same form (i.e. evil exists because there are wicked organizations, ancient bloodliens, closeness of apocolyptic ending to the world, ect.)

If Masons are really just a free thinking society promoting virtue and liberty, how has this been accomplished besides a couple childrens hospitals, and what are the deep secrets that are so secret that a candidate for initiation must be blind-folded and swear under penalty of having their throat cut, not to reveal, when they don't even know what they are? And all this in the presence of the "Worshipful Master" of the lodge. What a title. And so-called Christians are encouraged to enter into this nonsense along with anybody who believes in a higher power?
And please connect the dots, besides a couple of commonly used symbols with different meanings to different people, and without quoting out of context - anything that Charles Russell wrote that would make the Studies in the Scriptures or the WT a haven or codebook for those who had sworn to the oath previously stated which is in total disharmony and antithetical to Christian baptism into the Body of Christ, which was the purpose for his writing the Studies in the Scriptures in the first place, namely to expose the false teachings of the Catholic Church in particular. -

The biggest secret of the Masons is, there is no secret.
As far as the oaths go, they are just a sense of theater, nothing more.

Basic ingredients to create a gnostic religion.
1. Hidden knowledge.
2. A heirarchy, generally divided in 3 basic tiers, the general initiates, the elect, the enlightened
top 1,2 or 3 leaders
3. The higher one goes up the hierarchy the more hidden knowledge
is dished out.
WTBTS Heirarchy =
3. the Great Crowd, 2. the Annointed, 1. the Faithful and Wise Servant(s)
those actually leading/the President or Governing Body.
