Bible Note: The history of the Watchtower Society starts with a group called Russellites, who followed a false prophet of the day (19th century) who proclaimed the end of the world was scheduled for early 20th century. A publisher in New York City found he could make a lot of money from the followers and, through a greedy plot, conspired to organize the society into a religious works mill. Adherants must work to earn salvation through quotas and distribution of written materials. At first, they used the King James bible, but now have their own authorized translation that twists the original Hebrew and Greek to their own advantage. |
