Just curious if any of you have watched it. I'm on part three and to this point I can't help but notice the emphasis (although it was likely unintended) on the fact that this religion was/is a creation of men. It even says that Russell didn't claim to be inspired. It references what all these other "secular authorities" said and felt regarding the position of the churchs etc. Who the heck cares what these men think? Where's the "inspiration" from God. If your teachings are from God then you don't need to quote secular authorities for validation. I just shake my head.
I have to say though, that Russell was one heck of a shrewd businessman. A go-getter to be sure to be worth the equivalent of $7 Million dollars at age 25. Then to have the sense to start a religion and grow that money tax free into perpetuity. I mean that tops today's Roth IRA all day long.
