Jehovah’s Witnesses: Russell Who?

Jehovah’s Witnesses: Russell Who?

1. Presently, Jehovah Witnesses will deny their connection to Russell

2. Rutherford’s ‘World Distress – Why and the Remedy’ :
• quotes Russell 16 times
• refers to ‘Studies in the Scriptures’ 12 times
• devotes 6 pages to advertising Russell’s books

3. Rutherford’s ‘Creation’ published in the Watch Tower:

‘Because it was the Lord’s due time to restore these truths, he used Charles T. Russell to write and publish books known as ‘Studies in the Scripture’ by which the great fundamental truths of the divine plan are clarified. Satan has done his best to destroy these books because they explain the Scriptures. Even as Tyndale’s Version of the Bible was destroyed by the clergy, so the clergy in various parts of the earth have gathered together thousands of volumes of ‘Studies in the Scriptures’ and burned them publicly.’

4. Current Watch Tower publications quote the ‘Watch Tower’ of 1880, of which Russell was editor.
