    Hello,

    *Do you remember someone, many decades ago who , among other things:

    -celebrated “pagan holydays” such as Christmas

    -celebrated birthdays

    -considered among other things, that the Gret Pyramid
    was strong corroborative witness to God’s plan

    -taught false dates as if truly coming from God

    - “ that the “heavenly calling “ ended in 1881

    - “ about astrology (Uranus…the Pleidaes etc.)

    - used Masonic symbols like “cross and crown”

    The Pure Language Defined

    10 The pure language is the truth of God found in his own Word, the Holy
    Scriptures. It is particularly the truth regarding God’s Kingdom, which
    will bring peace and other blessings to mankind.
    The pure language does away with religious error and
    false worship.It unites all who speak it in the pure, clean,
    wholesome worship of the living and true God, Jehovah.

    And yet:

    *** w91 5/1 17 Speak the Pure Language and Live Forever! ***

    And then, amid the commercial, industrial, and social changes of the 19th century, there arose voices that stood out from the general babel of false religious confusion. Small groups tried to read the signs of the times and predict Jesus’ second coming, but not all spoke the pure language.

    10 In 1879, however, it became clear which “second coming” voice was being chosen by Jehovah to speak the pure language as his Witnesses. By then a small Bible-study group led by Charles Taze Russell was meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. …”

    Makes you think…. Greetings, J.C. MacHislopp
