  I have enjoyed studying with a warm wonderful group of people called the Dawn Bible Students.. They are everything the Witnessness are not and they have much love and compassion between them, contrary to the coldness and harsh judgement of the Borg.
  

  They still read Brother Russell and his writings, They are the begining of the Watchtower society, but became THE DAWN Bible students when Rutherford had taken over, and started the hierarchy, and structure of modern day Witnesses.

  The Watchtower hates this small humble group of people and declares them the evil slave! I found them to be warm and casual, teaching biblical accuracy and truth about the trinity and hellfire, but putting the celebration of holidays etc, according to individual conscience..

  They do not believe in shunning and disfellowshipping, and have a lot of ex Witnesses they have welcomed with open arms.

  I have been to a wonderful CASUALLY dressed Bible study where we had open, expressions and discussions about the Bible, and even got to talk about our experiences, and or history of the Watchtower.

  The creation of the Dawn Bible students came about with a revolt on the hypocrisy of the Watchtower which is way the Borg hates them so much.. They continue to publish Brother Russells sixth volumes, and have two magazies THE DAWN and THE HERALD

  look them up under DAWN BIBLE STUDENTS or www.herald.org or write The Dawn 199 Railroad Ave East rutherford NJ 07073 or Chicago Bible Students Box 6016 Chicago Illinois 60680

  They have welcomed in a lot of skinned, and hurt ex witnesses and many ex witnesses have found the true love and support with this wonderful group which is growing worldwide..

  They have a lot of literature availiable upon request

  Do they stil believe Russell's teaching that Christ came in 1874, and that Armageddon was to be 1914.

  Do they agree with Russell using the measurements of the Great Pyramid to work these date out.

  Many of Russells views can be traced to Second Adventist teachings.

  The Dawn Bible Students and other similar groups are following the teachings of a man. They rely on what the "Studies in the Scriptures" tells them, thus no different from those who rely on what the Watchtower tells them. Remember the "Studies" are the root of the Watchtower organisation. The WT may not believe in most of the things anymore. But without it the WT would not have come into being.
