Fritz Springmeier's "The Watchtower & the Masons" alleges, as a 1990 "preliminary investigation," a hidden relationship between early Jehovah's Witnesses leader Charles Taze Russell and Freemasonry. The work, often out of print, focuses on the use of the "Cross and Crown" symbol, pyramidology, and claims of elite control. For a basic overview of the volume, visit Google Books .
