Question
Well if that is the case and they were pagan rituals would they not be in paradise or part of the 144,000 ? They were partaking of pagan rituals at the time of death.Why not take down the pyramid ?This is not taught in the bible.

Question -
Why does Charles Taze Russell have a large pyramid at his grave site ?"


Answer -
Hello Russ,
Thank you for the question.I guess it was some sort of memorial for him.This man was loved by many of his followers
and his death in 1916 was a shocking blow to them as they all looked up to Pastor Russell.Back in 1916 Jehovah's Witnesses or the Bible Students they were called then haven't yet completely gotten rid of all pagan traits of Babylon the Great so those types of things were still present with them then.This included all the pagan holidays birthdays,etc.So it wasn't considered a wrongdoing for them to construct that type of memorial for him. Thank you,Janko

Answer
I don't have an answer to whether or not that pyramid was taken down or not,I thought I once heard that it was.What they did back then for him with the pyramid was irrelevant as to what the message was about God's Kingdom under Jesus
Christ was,and over the years the light got brighter and brighter for his followers with greater Bible knowledge.Yes
and even though back then there were still traits of pagan
rituals,C.T.Russell still is part of the 144,000. Janko
