\*The constellation of the seven stars forming the Pleiades appears to be the crowning center around which the known systems of the planets revolve… 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 to the Pleiades in importance, because the Pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of God. J. F. Rutherford, Reconciliation, 1928, p. 14. \* ---

Yes. I hear He has a nice three bedroom ranch there with an attached garage. Does God need an attached garage since He doesn’t really need a car because, according to post #2, He is everywhere so why would He need a car to drive to someplace else? ---
