The Pleiades - Jehovah's Throne?

 

The Pleiades - Jehovah's Throne From 1881 until 1953 

the Watchtower taught that Jehovah resided at the centre of the universe on the star Alcyone in the cluster known as The Pleiades. 
And they knew this because the Great Pyramid in Egypt pointed this out.

Reconciliation 1928 p14
"The constellation of the seven stars forming the Pleiades appears to be the crowning centre 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;..

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"

The Watchtower November 1 1920
"Some one asked me the other day: Suppose you should be here in 1925 what would you do? I said, I believe I will be home in the Pleiades before then"

Thy Kingdom Come (SIS vol III) 1891 (1903 edition) p. 327

 "And if we go back to the date which the Pyramid gives itself, and look for what that finger pointed to at midnight, we find a far sublimer indication. Science has at last discovered that the sun is not a dead centre, with planets wheeling about it, and itself stationary. It is now ascertained that the sun also is in motion, carrying with it its splendid retinue of comets, planets, its satellites and theirs, around some other and vastly mightier centre. Astronomers are not yet fully agreed as to what or where that centre is.

Some, however, believe that they have found the direction of it to be the Pleiades, and particularly Alcyone, the central one of the renowned Pleiadic stars. To the distinguished German astronomer, Prof. J. H. Maedler, belongs the honor of having made this discovery. Alcyone, then, as far as science has been able to perceive, would seem to be the 'midnight throne' in which the whole system of gravitation has its central seat, and from which the Almighty governs his universe. And here is the wonderful corresponding fact, that at the date of the Great Pyramid's building, at midnight of the autumnal equinox, and hence the true beginning of the year* as still preserved in the traditions of many nations, the Pleiades were distributed over the meridian of this Pyramid, with Alcyone precisely on the line."

Questions:
1) has this teaching been officially stopped?
2) do you think they mimicked the mormons with this teaching?
3) does it bother you that yet another belief & teaching was based off of occult pyramidology divination?

Who is your mediator?

  The Watchtower teaches that Jesus is only the mediator for the "anointed class" "Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members." Worldwide Security Under the "Prince of Peace" (1986) pp.10 (16)-11 "So in this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the "mediator" only for anointed Christians." Watchtower 1979 Apr 1 p.31   If Jesus is only the mediator for the 144,000 anointed, who is mediator for the "great crowd"? "The "great crowd" of "other sheep" that is forming today is not in that new covenant. However, by their associating with the "little flock" of those yet in that covenant they come under benefits that flow from that new covenant." Watchtower 1979 Apr 1 p.31 Without a medi...

ELF Lesson 20 - GB

GB history:  January 1st 1976, authority shifted from the President to Governing Body members   Lesson 20:   " the Governing Bo dy gives direction to the global congregation.But these men are not the leaders of our organization."   v.s. Lesson 54 Q: where is the proof that Jesus appointed these men?  Q: if all rules (appearance, behaviour, disfellowshiping) come from the governing body, how can they claim that they don't lead the organization?  Q: does that mean that there is a secret, unknown leader above the governing body that makes all of the decisions? (where does all of the money go? Which lawyers will represent them in court?) Is the Governing Body the leaders & only mouthpiece / channel to God? NO - Watchtower 1883 Jan, page 425 - “We have not the gift of prophecy.” NO - Watchtower 1896 Dec 15, page 306 - “Nor would we have our writings reverenced or regarded as infallible.” NO - Watchtower 1947 May 15, page 15 - “does n...
