The Jehovah's Witnesses once proudly called themselves "Russellites" after the
founder Charles Taze Russell.

the Christ would have been unknown, the high priest, the temple arrangement a
foreshadow of the heavenly one, the propitiatory sacrifice, literally a perfect covering
etc etc etc were you aware of this, well were you? I dont think so. Interesting that the
most opinionated opponents of the Bible are the ones who have never taken the time
to study its contents.

But you know the scriptures that talks about Satan and that he knows his time is getting shorter for him and like any trapped animal or human they start to get frustrated and even scared knowing that their time is getting close to being caught or trapped or locked up in the case of Satan. And like we see in selfish humans that get in that situation they usually want to take as many innocent people with them as they can.
It's for sure he's doing a number on mankind like we've never seen... You can certianly feel the tension in the world like there has never been before.

JWs goes back only to the late 1800s to a young man of 20 years old. How
could he possibly know more than the Church fathers that go back to the first
century? This man claims no supenatural source of knowledge like Christ.
Even Joseph Smith knew enough to claim He was visited by an angel of Light
(probably Satan) and was provided with Gold Plates from which he was given
the supernatural ability to translate into the Book of Mormon, which is all we
have of the Gold Plates that mysteriously disappeared.
I think the foundation and the beliefs of the JW's should be doubted or at least
suspect. The founder has already been proven wrong on his interpretation of a
prophecy.
