Skrev de det eller skrev de det ikke?

Ærede debattører og gode borgere.
Skrev de det eller skrev de det ikke? That is the question.

Charles Taze Russell var ikke ledet af jødernes Gud JHVH, men iflg. J.F.Rutherford var han ledet af selve Satan.
”In 1928 this teaching was discarded by Rutherford with the comment that the pyramid is "Satan's Bible, and not God's stone witness."
Citat fra Watchtower 1928 November 15 p.344
Det spørgsmål melder sig: Was Rutherford implying that Russell was guided by Satan in coming up this teaching?

"In the messages of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh the agreement of one or two measurements with the present-truth chronology might seem accidental, but the correspondency of dozens of measurements proves that the same God designed both pyramid and plan."
Citat fra Watchtower 1922 June 15 p.187
Kommentar:
”……at den samme Gud designede begge Pyramider og ”Planen”! Er det JHVH eller Satan der er ”den samme Gud”?

"In the great Pyramid of Egypt, standing as a silent and inanimate witness of the Lord, is a messenger; and its testimony speaks with great eloquence concerning the divine plan."
Citat fra Watchtower 1925 May 15 p.148

Alligevel fortsætter J.F.Rutherford:
Rutherford continued with the teaching in the 1928 book Reconciliation, and said on page 14:
"The constellation of the seven stars forming the Pleides appears to be the crowning center around which the known systems of the planets revolve even as our sun's planets obey the sun and travel in their respective orbits.
It has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling-place of Jehovah and the place of the highest heavens; that it is the place to which the inspired writer referred when he said: "Hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven" (2 Chron. 6:21); and that it is the place to which Job referred when under inspiration he wrote: "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?"--Job 38:31.
The constellation of the Pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man. But the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when compared with the Pleiades in importance, because the Pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of God."
Citat fra 1928 book Reconciliation, and said on page 14.

Først i 1953 indser man, at ”man” nok er kommet lidt langt ”syd for Pyramiderne”.
Mention of Pleiades is also in Creation 1927 p.94. This teaching was not discontinued until 1953.
"Some attribute striking qualities to these constellations or star groups and on the basis of such they then offer private interpretations of Job 38:31, 32 that amaze their hearers… when viewed scripturally they are completely without foundation.... Hence it is useless to indulge in unprofitable speculations.
Incidentally, Pleiades can no longer be considered the center of the universe and it would be unwise for us to try to fix God’s throne as being at a particular spot in the universe. Were we to think of the Pleiades as his throne, we might improperly view with special veneration that cluster of stars"

Kommentar: Har de skrevet det eller har de ikke skrevet det?

Russell was not only into Egyptology but also referred to Astrology for confirmation of his predictions.
"The above thoughts came to us as we recently read the predictions of some noted astrologers, whose information we credit to the spirit demons and not to ability to read destiny in the stars. One of these in particular closely touches dates and incidents on the line of our Scriptural expectations as follows:--
ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS OF OUR TIME.
"In a dozen publications of this present springtime over all Europe astrologers agree that an extraordinary period is approaching. In the first place Saturn enters the sign of the Fishes in April, 1905, to remain there during 1906 and 1907. He will come out only in July, 1908. And these conjunctions, most rare in astrology, promise to be particularly hard on France.""

The constellations of the Zodiac were regarded in 1914 as of Divine origin with each of the 12 Zodiacal signs having corresponding statements in the Bible.
"AN ASTROLOGER'S OUTLOOK.
We seriously question all the claims of astrology; yet the following… seem remarkably true to our expectations based upon the Word of the Lord…Saturn is the representative of the great motive power that has dominated the mind of man up to the present time. … Jupiter, representing law, religion and morality, has been perforce subservient to Saturn's greater and more potent force…When Uranus and Jupiter meet in the humane sign of Aquarius in 1914, the long-promised era will have made a fair start in the work of setting man free to work out his own salvation, and will insure the ultimate realization of dreams and ideals of all … In 1903 Jupiter will be in the Sign of Pisces-sign of the feet, or understanding, and the synthesis of the new religion is Love."

De skrev det og de benægter, at de skrev det. De fleste Jehovas Vidner aner overhovedet intet om dette.
