Recieved this via email today.
I finally found an article that says that Russell belonged to the masons. This article totally backs up what I was trying to say. It says ?Lady Queenboroush?s book on occult theocracy pg. 737 records Russell?s Masonic membership, published 1933. The whole article is good. See what you think and ?go get em?! http://www.letusreason.org/JW16.htm

Danny,
If you or anyone has a copy of Lady Queenborough's book, I would love to see the quote in full. What evidence does she have that no one else has? Is it in his sermon "Temple of God?" Or exactly what is it that connects him to Masonry? Does she record the name and number of the lodge he attended? If the latter, than I would say she has found something no one else has and something that could be verified.

RR is correct. There is no solid evidence that Russell was a Mason. In one speech I recall he referred to himself as a Mason, but considering the context it is no different than former US President John F. Kennedy saying in German that he was a Berliner. To put it another way, both were inferring that they agreed with the ideas/principals of the Masons/Berliners. One doesn't have to be a member to do that.
It is worth noting that not ONE of Russells "original" and unique teachings are taught by the modern WTS. His "no hellfire" and "no trinity" doctrines are not unique to the religion. His teachings on 1914 were not at all like the current WTS views on the subject. His teachings on the "Great Company" (Great Crowd) CLASS are totally different from what is taught today.
Fred Franz tried a number of times to resurrect Russell's "Mystery" doctrine, but never succeeded, although he hinted at it in one of his phantasmagoric books on Revelation.

Interestingly Farkel, if the Society has not officially chnaged this doctrine, then they technically still teach it.
