In 1910 Russell wrote, “If anyone lays the Scripture Studies aside, even after he has used them, after he has become familiar with them, after he has read them for ten years-if he lays them aside and ignores them and goes to the Bible alone, though he has understood the Bible for ten years, our experience shows that within two years he goes into darkness. We will show that the beliefs of JWs are unscriptural, and that both Russell and the WTS are completely unreliable as spiritual guides. In this tract we will examine five topics relating to Russell, the JWs, and their parent organization, the Watchtower Society (WTS). This magazine was the precursor to today’s Watchtower (WT) magazine. In 1879 he started publishing a magazine to promote his beliefs. He sought out the Bible, and as his “studies” continued, he systematically began to reject the major doctrines of historic Christianity. By his own admission, he had a hard time accepting the existence of hell. Russell was raised a Presbyterian, then joined the Congregational church, and was finally influenced by Adventist teachings. The sect known as Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs) began with Charles Taze Russell in the 1870’s.
