Conspiracy or Coincidence a new Masonic Lodge built across from grave of man who greatly resented them John Taze Russel ?

If you ride down Cemetery Lane in Ross Twp. Pa. you will see a most unusual grave stone in the shape of a  Egyptian Pyramid .
it is the final resting place of  Charles Taze Russel  who founded the Jehovah's Witness Religion.

Now ironically Mr. Russel who did not care for the Free Masons and forbid his religious members from joining the group as he saw it as incompatible  and  the masons which has its own controversy because it is a group which keeps secrets and brings all the conspiracy kooks out . Now has a magnificent  view of a new Masonic hall from his grave




 About 20 years ago  The Free Masons decided that there long maintained headquarters in the Oakland Section of Pittsburgh had out run its use fullness and it was sold to University of Pittsburgh and they came out to Ross Twp to build a new hall on a magnificent site on top of a hill . I have been in the hall which is just as fantastic looking inside as it is outside .

 So is there a conspiracy was this a deliberate slap in the face of the man who opposed them ? I really doubt it. in fact I would bet you if you took a poll most masons attending meetings at there facility do not even know who Mr. Russel is let alone would be involved in such an unkind slap. In fact the building does not even face toward his grave . It is not in the nature of Masons to take vengeance against those who oppose there views.

The masons I know and they are many  are honest hard working god fearing individuals who raise millions of dollars every year to help there community's and thru the shiners organization which helps children who have received severe burns.   If its anything its a coincidence.
But Americans love a good conspiracy and there are those who are convinced otherwise.
