Bible Note: Kalos, I'm not defending anyone. Just trying to share the truth. If one promotes faleshoods, then unbelievers have a hard time believing the truth. We must be careful to post only that which is proven fact. If I am defending anything it is truth. My research shows that there is a descrepancy in the information regarding Mr. Russell. I am just trying to show that there is a descrepancy. Why is it so important for you to finger this man as the founder? Isn't it more important to discuss the falsehoods promoted by JWs and the truth of the Gospel than to get stuck on who did or did not start the cult? Especially when that person is dead and can't speak for himself? It happened to be a little bit of an issue to me as my maiden name is Russell and my father used to work real hard against the JWs when I was growing up. I was researching for personal reasons and chose to share the descrepancy in the info posted by Doc. I happen to trust the Wikepedia since they don't have an agenda and just try to give out as accurate information as possible without bias. Personally, I really don't care what you or anyone else believes about Mr. Russell. It certainly isn't worth arguing over. So why don't we just drop it? O.K.? Hope this helps, Bows44 |
