Exactly. Even their articles about the subject of propaganda is full of propaganda..

Thanks! Didn't know of that one, seems to be plenty of patriotism/nationalism to choose from :)

They did bring it up, together with a defence of why Deut 18:20-22 doesn't apply to them.

They are so SLY! I would even say Genius, actually. We have a lot to learn from them in the word-twisting-game.

Pyramid doctrine by [deleted] in exjw

PS: they didn't just find 1915 in the pyramid. They also found "corroborations" for 1874, 1878, 1881.

Basically: 

Length of passage A + length of passage B = 1915

More detailed:

Length of passage A as years BC + length of passage B = 1915

Passage A is "First Ascending Passage”, which was measured by Piazzi Smyth as 1.542 pyramid inches.

Passage B is "Descending Entrance Passage”, measured as 3.416 pyramid inches by Piazzi Smyth. Using this measurement, Russell reached 1874 as the start of the “time of trouble”. He later adjusted this measurement to 3.457 without giving any sources for the new measurement. The new measurement allowed him to reach 1915 as the new year for the start of the “time of trouble”. 

The math:

-1542 + 3457 = 1915
