Hi Doc, Just to set matters straight, "Jehovah Witnesses" is incorrect. It's "Jehovah's Witnesses" if you choose to omit the word "Christian" between Jehovah's and Witnesses. Thus they are more accurately called "Jehovah's Christian Witnesses". I am not saying you are spreading lies. I am saying you evidently are merely misinformed. Jehovah's Christian Witnesses love their name and do use the word "christian" all the time. Anyway, lies about them do abound. People say they don't believe in Jesus and they have secret meetings and so have no windows on their meetings of worship. Just setting this straight. Frank |

Thank you for correcting me, Frank. I was basing my observations on what I remembered from a number of discussions with a couple of fellows with whom I once worked. In theological circles the term Russellism is used, though I understand that most Jehovah's Witnesses (see, I'm learning) do not prefer this epithet. Although I understand there has been deviation since the original teachings of Charles Taze Russel. I do not intend to spread disinformation overtly, covertly, or in any way. A theological perspective, no matter its source, must stand or fall on its own. In Him (the Lord (Jehovah) Jesus Christ), Doc |

Hello again Doc, You are correct in that Russelissm is a name imposed on the Witnesses, implying their theology is of "a man" (Charles T. Russell). May I ask what you believe? 1). Do you believe God condemns abortion? 2). Do you believe God condemns involvement in the world afairs such as voting or running for a government office? 3). Do you believe Baptists should go to war and possibly have to kill other Baptists? 4). Do you allow your children to participate in Holloween? 5). One last question; What Bible translation do you believe is the best and why? My questions are sincere and might result in further discussions as to what the Bible can contribute to the topic. I'm in no hurry. Frank |

Frank, Russel is a only a contemporary exponent of a heresy that began with Arius in the early fourth century. The positive thing about this particular heresy is that it helped to strenghten what it sought to destroy. Here's some fun reading on the subject: Ariushttp://www.catholic.com/library/History_of_the_Jehovah_Witnesesses.asp |
