 Charles Taze Russell's Fascination with the Great Pyramid of Egypt
Many Jehovah’s Witnesses may be surprised to know that the founder of their movement, Charles Taze Russell, was fascinated with Egyptian symbolism.

Russell even declared that Christ was the master Mason—in the sense that he is the master temple builder.
Although the stories of his supposedly being in the pedigreed bloodline of the mystical Illuminati have no basis in fact, Charles Russell and the early Bible Students were unquestionably heavily influenced by British-Israelism as it was expressed through the Millerite-Adventist groups of the 1800's.

The following quotation, by Morton Edgar, an ardent and long-time supporter of Charles Taze Russell, is from time to time sent to me as evidence that Russell was honest in his use of the available data regarding the measurements of the Great Pyramid.
III of 'Studies in the Scriptures," in the Pyramid chapter, Brother Russell states that the length of the Descending Passage, from the junction of the Ascending Passage down to the Subterranean Chamber, is 3416 inches.

 GODS PLAN FOR ALL
It cannot be over-emphasized that the purposes of this society at that time were only to provide a source of helpful literature, to provide a clearing-house for the exchange of ideas and the arrangement of conventions for mutual fellowship and edification, and to provide a center from which world-wide witness activities could be launched.
Claims of the Witnesses and of various historical entries notwithstanding, Charles Russell is NOT the founder of Jehovah’s Witnesses NOR of the practices and concepts of the current Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society.
It is sad to report that when Pastor Russell died in 1916, the failures of human nature and the promptings of Satanic influences quickly resulted in the Watch Tower Society’s becoming dictatorial.
