WT "History Lesson" shows Russell's Pyramidology Beliefs - w2012 8/15
by 00DAD inin last week's wt, jws are encouraged to study the early history of the "earthly organization".
like them [the sons of korah], do you have a desire to study and recount the history of the earthly part of jehovahs organization?
the more you learn about gods organization and how jehovah supports his people, the more real gods kingdom will be to you.
