Tengo en mi poder el libro "The Watchtower % The Masons" escrito por Springmeier. Desgraciadamente para mi, está escrito en inglés.
Pero aquí unos párrafos:
________PARALLELS IN THEIR BELIEFS_______39
BEGINNING OF DOCUMENTATION OF POINTS
•Jehovah is the most important word being the basis of their
dogma, and the name of their God
RUSSELL
Russell was more low key about the name Jehovah than
Rutherford, but he still used it consistently. One of many
examples is (selected at randomV-Vol.I, Studies in the
Scriptures, p. 171. In the WT R p. 1410, he identifies
Jehovah as God's distinctive personal name.
The Laodicean Messenger. His Life Works and Character
put out by Russell's Bible Students , p.68, states, "The
prime object in the life of Pastor Russell was to honor and
magnify the name of Great Jehovah..."
■ RUTHERFORD
Rutherford's overemphasis on the name Jehovah was
connected to his need to find something to theologically
undercut his rival in Europe, F.L. Alexander Freitag. Schnell
goes into the details of this maneuvering in his The Converted
Jehovah's Witness Expositor (Vol. X, No.2) p. 14.
MASONRY
Mackey, Albert G., 33 °, states in An Encyclopaedia of
Freemasonry. Vol. 1.1871. Chicago: The Masonic History
Co.,p. 363 ff, "JEHOVAH is, of all the significant words
of Masonry, by far the most important. Reghellini very
properly calls it "the basis of our dogma and of our
mysteries."..."The history of the introduction of this word
into the ritualism of Freemasonry would be highly
interesting, were it not so obscure. Being in almost all
respects an esoteric symbol."..."That this name, in its
mystical use, was not unknown to the Medieval Freemasons
there can be no doubt."..."It is now conceded, from
indisputable evidence, that the holy name was, in the earlier
years, and, indeed, up to the middle of the last century,
attached to the Third Degree, and then called the Master's
Word." "...Third Degree refers to "the mystic word, the
Tetragrammaton."
• Neither take heed that the Tetragrammaton is more properly
Yahweh rather man Jehovah, nor do they give much credence to
theTetragrammaton meaning "I am that I am."
