Who Is The Founder Of Jehovah’s Witnesses Organization by advocatejare(m): 2:10pm On Aug 26, 2023
It’s a known fact that Charles Taze Russell founded the International Bible Students Association (which his successor later named Jehovah’s Witnesses), Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania (1884)


The Adventist movement emerged in the 1830s around the predictions of William Miller, who proclaimed that Jesus Christ would return in 1843 or 1844. When Christ did not return as Miller prophecied, Adventists divided into a number of factions. During the 1870s, Charles Taze Russell established himself as an independent and controversial Adventist teacher.

In addition to the International Bible Students Association, Russell formed the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania (1884), with himself as president. In 1909 he transferred the headquarters of the movement to Brooklyn.

Russell was succeeded as president in 1917 by Joseph Franklin Rutherford(Judge Rutherford; 1869–1942), who changed the group’s name to Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1931 to emphasize its members’ belief that Jehovah

Under Rutherford’s leadership, Russell’s group became a tightly knit organization.


Russel was a wife abuser who subjected his wife to mental torture

He failed in the task of keeping his family together and he and his wife ended up being divorced against the teaching of Jesus Christ.

The same JW people are always claiming to be the only true Christian, a claim MaxInDHouse always make on this forum, yet their founder derailed from the Jesus’ teachings.

MaxInDHouse being ashamed of Russel’s lifestyle, decided to claim that Russel was not the founder of JW just because Joseph Franklin Rutherford who succeeded Russel decided to change the name of their association from International Bible Students Association to Jehovah’s Witnesses.

My questions to MaxInDHouse and other JW members on this forum is :

1. if you found a company and name it ABC and your successor renames it DEF, does that make your successor the founder of the company?

2. What is the stance of your organization on divorce today

3. What is the stance of your organization on subjecting your wives to mental torture like Russell did?

If you claim that Russel is not the founder of your organization: who then is the founder?

Joseph Rutherford who changed their name from the Freemason International Bible Students Association to Jehovah's witnesses also had his own shameful scandal with women. He and his wife were Separated but I am not sure they were even divorced properly before he started having an affair with a younger lady, his Secretary who was his mistress living in the same Mansion as him. These are the Men who were controlling JWs with so many rules in their Marriage yet they failed woefully in theirs. They were the Faithful and discreet Slave at that time o. grin

Just Watch Mad Max come in here to disown Rutherford as well and claim it is Jesus that founded them. Confused set of people.

FOUNDER

The word founder means someone who found or established something.
Therefore before we can say someone is the founder of a group their believes and teachings must be established by him or her.

The name "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" was FOUNDED 15 years after the death of Russell in line with Isaiah 43:10.

Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching from house to house and door to door just as Jesus of Nazareth commanded his disciples @ Matthew 10:11-13 this Russell never did nor taught all his life.

Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate birthdays, Christmas and Easter because all these stem from pagan traditions but Russell celebrated all these till his death in 1916.

Jehovah's Witnesses don't attach religious titles like Pastor, Prophet etc to their names but Russell was known as PASTOR Russell until his death.

Jehovah's Witnesses don't use symbols like cross or others in their worship but Russell used the Cross in his time.

From the above analysis it's evident that Charles Taze Russell can't be rightly called the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses organization.

So who is the founder of this group?

Let's consider what the Bible say first to know the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses then compare to what Jesus of Nazareth taught perhaps there's any correlation because they always claim everything they practice is in accord with Jesus' teachings could it be that Jesus is actually the founder of this group?

Why are your publications including Charles Taze Russell? Your video called The Organisation behind the name talked about your History and Charles Taze Russell was featured and deliberated on in that video. Why is he there if he is not your founder?

Secondly, why did your Freemason Governing body member David Splain say that Charles Taze Russell is still running your Organisation from beyond if he is not your founder? When Charles Taze Russell died, Joseph Rutherford made it clear that even though he is dead, he is still running the organisation from beyond! Why did he say that if he is not your founder?

True Christianity was lost along the way and the JWs are the only group restoring it. Simple!
