    I visited Washington DC last year and went to the George Washington Masonic National Memorial: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Masonic_National_Memorial

    While I was there, I was intrigued by a banner for the "Knights Templar" order of freemasons:

    This looked strangely similar to CT Russell's gravesite:

    Is there a masonic connection to the Watchtower?

    My research has shown that there are likely connections between the Watchtower, Rosicrucians, Knights Templar and masons. Besides common symbols, there are some teachings that are shared, such as the New World Order or New Order, an elite of ascended masters or annointed, spiritism and channeling, and the importance of maintaining an untainted bloodline.

    It would be productive to search previous threads as a lot has been posted on this topic.
