Beware of False Reports and False Insinuations

Beware of False Reports

Proverbs 6:16-19 -  There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him: [17]  Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood; [18]  A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief, [19]  A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren. -- American Standard Version.

A book entitled Beware of False Religions and Pagan Traditions, presents the following picture with the following claims: 

"Below is a photo of where Jehovah's Witness' [sic] founder, Charles Taze Russell, is buried in the Greater Pittsburgh Masonic Center Cemetery. As you can see, Satan is behind ALL false religion. Notice the creepy illuminati pyramid ..."

We do not have a copy of the book quoted, and we can only present what is included in pages as given in Google books.

The first false report in the above is that Charles Taze Russell is the founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses. We should note that Russell was never a member of the "Jehovah's Witnesses." He preached against such an organization, and he preached against the kind of message that the Jehovah's Witnesses present. He was definitely not the founder of that in which he did not believe, and which he preached against. For links to some our research related to Russell and the Jehovah's Witnesses:

The second false report in the above is the insinuation that the pyramid in the picture is "where" Russell was buried, which to many reader's minds would mean that Russell was buried in or under that pyramid. Actually, the pyramid monument is not "where" Russell is buried. The picture given does not actually show Russell's grave. His grave is near that monument, but no one is buried in or under that pyramid monument. A few years after Russell died, Joseph Rutherford authorized this replica of God's Witness in Egypt (Isaiah 19:19) in the middle of the plots then owned by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society in the Rosemont Cemetery.

The next false report is related to the claim that Russell is buried in the "Greater Pittsburgh Masonic Center Cemetery." Search as one may, one will not find any cemetery in Pittsburgh by such a name. One will find the "Greater Pittsburgh Masonic Center" across the street from the Rosemont Cemetery, but there is no connection between that Masonic Center and the Rosemont Cemetery. The Rosemont Cemetery, where Russell is buried, was established in the year 1905. There was no Masonic Center near that cemetery at that time; there was no Masonic Center near that cemetery when Russell was buried there in 1916. Indeed, there was no Masonic Center near the cemetery until the mid-1990s, decades after Russell had died. The idea that Russell was buried in an alleged "Greater Pittsburgh Masonic Cemetery" is obviously a false report.

Then it is assumed the pyramid is an "Illuminati" pyramid. The reality is that neither the pyramid nor Russell's Biblical study of God's Witness in Egypt has anything to do with the Illuminati, regardless of how any of the "Illuminati" may have made use of pyramids. The idea this is an "Illuminati" pyramid has to imagined and assumed, and what is imagined and assumed has been presented as being fact, although in reality it is another false report.

It also said that the pyramid is "creepy". Again, the idea that Rutherford's pyramid monument is "creepy" is imagined and assumed and then stated as fact, obviously a false insinuation designed to sway the reader's mind to think that the pyramid is "creepy". Of course, to one who has actually studied and comprehended Russell's study on God's Witness in Egypt, a replica of God's Witness in Egypt is not at all "creepy".

The only "religion" that Russell recognized was that of Jesus and his apostles, as presented in the Bible. We have not found anyplace that Russell spoke of the Bible Students as a religion. Russell did speak of the "true church", which he believed was enrolled in heaven, and consisted of consecrated Christians, irrespective of any affiliation with a man-made sect or denomination.
