Is'nt it true that you have not read any Pastor Russell's writings, but have only read ABOUT his writings? Or perhaps a few snippets?
Here are some snippets you may have missed. AFTER Pastor Russell plainly elucidated true Bible chronology in his book "The Time is at Hand", it was discovered that the Great Pyramid in Gizeh ALSO contained the exact same numbers arrived at in Scripture, and the most prominent date, besides Jesus' birth, death and resurrection dates, was 1874.
THEN it was discovered that the Tabernacle in the wilderness ALSO contains the same chronology exactly - see below:
It is also a fact among myriad other astounding facts that the "coffer" in the Great Pyramid is the exact dimensions as the Ark of the Covenant.
Now Joan, do you think perhaps that these things were all planned by Satan in order to deceive a tiny handful of gullible individuals? Or do you think perhaps this small group of peculiar people might just have the Truth?
Yours in Truth,
