  Here is a current thread in progress that will show you just how hurtful the Religion of the Watchtower can be:

  Welcome AloneinOH! Several here have said that you should not share your newly acquired knowledge with your parents/family yet. However, I feel that if you could get an original copy of the article that you read about the sale of Watchtower property that was purchased in 1974, THAT could be shown to them in the context of sharing a news article that has distrubed YOU very much. Let them read the article themselves and then ask this simple question, "Why was the Watchtower buying property for furture use while at the time saying the "end" was so near?" Just let them think about it the same way you did. DO NOT pursue the issue with them at this time. Just let nature take its time. If they want to discuss it with you, relate your feelings to them without giving them anymore knowledge then what is in that article. Who knows, maybe THEY will do their OWN research into the matter just like you did. NewLight2

  Kenneson,
  
  The title of my "links page" is as follows:
  
  "The Occult, Egypt and the Watchtower"
  http://www.geocities.com/newlight_2/Links1.html
  
  On that page is this:
  "A Winged Solar Disk On a JW Assembly Hall, Queens, New York"
  
  The above link title will open to a page entitled:
  
  "Masonic Symbols and the Watchtower Society (Jehovah's Witnesses)"
  "A Jehovah's Witness Assembly Hall With Masonic Symbols On Building!!!"
  http://www.geocities.com/newlight_2/JW_QueensAssemHall.html
  
  It was the above page that the emailer was inquiring about. All of my statements are correct, since the building in question WAS a Masonic Hall prior to being purchased by the Watchtower. The major theme of my pages in question are correct also, since the title of the first page was:
  
  "The Occult, Egypt and the Watchtower"
  
  My pages do not claim that C T Russel was a Mason himself. That conclusion was made ONLY by posters to this thread. When "Eagle" asked be to respond to his questions in the email, I did include links to several other pages that were not mine. I did this because he had asked me (quote):
  
  "Dude where or even better who did you run into to get such a whacked point of view."
  
  I hope this clairifies the matter for you. In fact, the original reason I made the page about the Assembly Hall was that someone had asked for the URL to the pictures on a forum. I had the pix saved on diskette so I quickly made the page and posted MY URL.
  
  There are many questions to be answered regarding the early history of C T Russell and the Watchtower that no one will probably ever be able to answer for sure, but those of us with "inquiring minds" will keep asking anyway.

  Kenneson:
  "How can you conclude that Russell was a Freemason?"
  
  No where on my pages do I say that Russell was a "Freemason" himself.
  The point that I'm making is that, in the past, the Watchtower Society has used "pagan symbols" on their publications. Therefore, there ARE pagan roots to the Watchtower Society or they would not have allowed those symbols to appear on their publications.

  Thanks Kenneson. I'll check out those urls.
  
  shamus, I do not defend 'the organization'. Are you aware that there is/was another poster who used the screenname "newlight"? My screen name is "NewLight2".
  
  "newlight" and "NewLight2" are not the same posters.

  Eagle:
  "Now let me ask you something, are you upset because members of
  your family joined up with the witnesses? If so why? was this country built on the belief of freedom of religion, or was it just your religion that needs to be free?"
  
  I have no family that are JW's, but I do see the destructive nature of "high control groups" of which the Watchtower Society and Jehovah's Witnesses are. I believe in freedom of religion, but one cannot be "free" and a JW at the same time. This group destroys lives and splits families. I hope the following URLs will answer your questions regarding this matter.
  
  Please read the experiences of those who post here that have been involved with the JW's and have left this "high control group". You will find many such stories within the following forums here at JWD:

  "I have personally not seen any symbols on any of the watchtowers or any other publications put out by the witnesses I have however seen them on other religions publications."
  
  The "Winged Solar Disk" appeared on older copies of C T Russell's 'Studies in the Scriptures' series. You can view one book in the series, 'The Divine Plan of the Ages', at this URL:

  Here is the page the the email was referring to:
  A Winged Solar Disk On a JW Assembly Hall,Queens, New York
  "http://www.geocitiescom/newlight_2/JW_QueensAssemHall.html">
  http://www.geocitiescom/newlight_2/JW_QueensAssemHall.html
  
  
  Whether or not the WT removed the symbols is not the point. The fact remains that the Watchtower Society was perfectly content to hold Assemblies in that building WHILE on the outside there WERE "pagan" symbols!

  Watchtower Society "Dude where or even better who did you run into to get such a whacked point of view. that building is not a new one, it was a movie theater. Those symbols were probably there when the building was purchased. and as they believe religion is an ongoing learning they may not have been aware at the time of the symbolism's. the masons call no affiliation with the witnesses, or vica-versa. I have seen newly built assembly halls that were built by witnesses and that stuff does not I repeat NOT show up on them. Now let me ask you something, are you upset because members of your family joined up with the witnesses? If so why? was this country built on the belief of freedom of religion, or was it just your religion that needs to be free? In 2 Kings it says "Judge not lest yee be judged the same." Just thought you needed to hear that. Look foward to your comments on the freedom of religion or anything else you might want to rant about." "
