The Watchtower & The Masons

__________ A CHRISTIAN ANALYSIS _________207 rejected everyone but the Jehovah's Witnesses because they practiced sins, yet accepted the Jehovah's Witnesses' Watchtower Society which practiced these same kind of sins?

The Watchtower Society has distanced itself from C.T. Russell. At least they think they have, and they do when its convienient to avoid criticism of him, but they talk out of the other side of their mouth (thereby having a forked tongue) whenever they can get some positive milage from C.T. Russell as to how great C.T. Russell's wonderful enlightment about 1914 was. It was God's spirit that was directing the Watchtower's work from the very beginning.

Further, we are told that the Jehovah's Witnesses were the only teachable ones in 1918.5 Russell's foresight didn't exist. What Russell actually prophecied to happen in 1874, 1878, 1910, and 1914 never came true.

Supposedly Jehovah scrutinized all the christian churches and rejected them all as unteachable and false, indeed unworthy to be his people. God found not a single sincere orthodox Christian.

What were these evil Christians doing? They were, the record shows, warning Bible Students that Russell's crackpot theories on the pyramid were unscriptural. The record shows men like Rev. A.B. Simpson warning the Bible Students about the "spirits of devils" who are reviving the forces of Egyptian magic.6 The record shows people warning th International Bible Students not to consult familiar spirits (cf. Deut. 18:9-12) Yet, God supposedly rejected these Christians for rejecting Pastor Russell. God (says the Watchtower) liked Russell, because he was so teachable, (so teachable we might add that Russell ignored all the valid criticism from the churches about his false prophecies, and his pyramid beliefs, and his occultic practices, etc.)
