Negative on request at the moment,my associate is doing research i will try to get back.
I only posted as item of interest.The roots of the Watchtower are rotten to the core.They are still a flash in the pan spinoff of the William Miller movement.
how unique were russell's original teachings?
were they based solely on the bible?
or did he receive influence from several other sources?

Recieved this via email today.
I finally found an article that says that Russell belonged to the masons. This article totally backs up what I was trying to say. It says ?Lady Queenboroush?s book on occult theocracy pg. 737 records Russell?s Masonic membership, published 1933. The whole article is good. See what you think and ?go get em?! http://www.letusreason.org/JW16.htm

we laid low for a week from picketing the kingdom hall.
i wanted to see how things would go with the emergency hearing before i continued.
because of the pending restraining order sara applied for, i cannot go within 100 yards of her or her husband, mark.
growing up in the 70,s and 80,s i remember at the dc in twickenham ,london ,the 1 item of food that was always liked by us kids was a slice of melon!!
i think they were about 4 tickets each (??
)...i must have been very easily pleased because that was a rare highlight... (i never liked the drama much even as a kid).. i dont have too many bad memories of the religion,but i think that even little things like doing away with food at conventions made me question what the hell i was doing in it.
When they discontinued (simplification) hot burritos with the taco sauce on the side ca 1989 i got out.
i write this post to proclaim that jehovah?s new kingdom is approaching.
this new kingdom will be made up of those with an earthy hope.
and, not ruled by those with a heavenly one.
Watchtower Apocalyptic Infatuation
And another.... and another.... and another....
"Throughout history countless thousands of people have predicted the end of the world, and they all have one thing in common... they were all wrong"

Date setters, making irresponsible predictions!
Misleading the ignorant masses for higher TV ratings and book sales!

1843-1844 |
William Miller was the founder of an end-times movement that was so prominent it received its own name-- Millerism. From his studies of the Bible, Miller determined that the second coming would happen sometime between 1843-1844. A spectacular meteor shower in 1833 gave the movement a good push forward. The build up of anticipation continued until March 21, 1844, when Miller's one year time table ran out. Some followers set another date of Oct 22, 1844. This too failed, collapsing the movement. One follower described the days after the failed predictions, "The world made merry over the old Prophet's predicament. The taunts and jeers of the 'scoffers' were well-nigh unbearable."
1874
invisible return of Christ; Original position of the Watchtower. Then Charles Taze Russell predicted the Rapture in 1910, followed by End of the World in 1914--later interpreted as invisible return of Christ. (99 Reasons Why No One Knows When Christ Will Return, by B J Oropeza, Foreward by Hank Hanegraaff, IVP publishing, 1994)
1910
The revisit of Haley's comet was, for many, an indication of the Lord's second coming. The earth actually passed through the gaseous tail of the comet. One enterprising man sold comet pills to people for protection against the effects of the toxic gases.
1914
was one of the more important estimates of the start of the war of Armageddon by the Jehovah's Witnesses (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society). They computed 1914 from prophecy in the book of Daniel, Chapter 4. The writings referred to "seven times". The WTS interpreted each "time" as equal to 360 days, giving a total of 2520 days. This was further interpreted as representing 2520 years, measured from the starting date of 607 BCE. This gave 1914 as the target date.
1914
Charles Russell, after being exposed to the teachings of William Miller, founded his own organization - the Jehovah's Witnesses. In 1914 Russell predicted the return of Jesus Christ.
1914, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975 and 1994
Jw?s: Here are other dates that the Watchtower Society predicted. 1975 looked likely as it was computed as the 6000th anniversary of the creation of Adam in the Garden of Eden in 4026 BCE. They interpreted Psalms 90:10 as defining the length of a generation to be 80 years. Since 1914 plus 80 equals 1994, they predicted Armageddon would occur around that year. The latest estimate was 6000 years after the creation of Eve, for which no date can be determined with any accuracy.
1914
End of World; Charles T. Russel, Jehovah's Witnesses; later explained that Michael (ie Jesus) had defeated Satan in heaven
1914
; Jesus invisible and quiet return to the Earth. (Jehovah's Witnesses, Book: This Means Everlasting Life, page 221) "So A.D. 1914 marks the time of Christ's invisible return in spirit." Explained after they said he would return in 1914
1918
In 1918, new math didn't help the Jehovah's Witnesses from striking out again.
1925
The Witnesses had no better luck in 1925. They already possessed the title of most wrong predictions. They would expand upon it in the years to come.
1953-AUG:
David Davidson wrote a book titled "The Great Pyramid, Its Divine Message". In it, he predicted that the world would end in 1953-AUG.
1957-APR:
The Watchtower magazine, quoted (1) a pastor from California, Mihran Ask, as saying in 1957-JAN that "Sometime between April 16 and 23, 1957, Armageddon will sweep the world! Millions of persons will perish in its flames and the land will be scorched.'
1967
When the city of Jerusalem was reclaimed by the Jews in 1967, prophecy watchers declared that the "Time of the Gentiles" had come to an end.
1975
The Jehovah's Witnesses were back at it in 1975. The failure of the forecast did not affect the growth of the movement. The Watchtower magazine, a major Witness periodical, has over 13 million subscribers.
1975
Armageddon, 1975; Jehovah's Witnesses; (Various publication, cited in Newsweek Oct. 15, 1984)
1984
The Jehovah's Witnesses made sure in 1984 that no one else would be able to top their record of most wrong doomsday predictions. The Witnesses record is currently holding at nine. The years are: 1874, 1878, 1881, 1910, 1914, 1918, 1925, 1975, and 1984. Lately, the JW's are claiming they're out of the prediction business, but it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. They'll be back.
Undaunted Danny sez:"In a moment of clarity, I peeked out of the WT$ cult cocoon and come to my senses.I came to the realization that they are just like the Moonies and all the other cults". Eight Marks of a deadly Mind Control Cult applied to Jehovah's Witnesses The end of the world has been postponed so that doesn't mean it's not coming! Rather it,means we have to go out door to door all the more now. It's called: cognitive dissonance
somebody once said: "opinions are like a**holes; everybody has one".
there is a difference between knowledge and opinion; a great distinction.. knowledge carries certainty that everybody everywhere gets the same result.
two plus two in nova scotia is the same as two plus two in des moines, iowa.
Danny sez:Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not their own facts".
hey everyone!
its time for all people to come out of that shell (or closet) and put up pics of you and the people most important to you!.
my hubby and baby girl----baby girl's first bath, and my big-ol teddy bear of a dog
Dedicated to my family members, nieces and nephew Lauren, Ashley and Kevin Haszard that have gone missing in the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Last time i saw them was 1989...
thank goodness.. for the last couple of days one toe has felt so bruised i could barely touch it.
the today the other foot swelled up and i can barely touch any of that.
i don't need this.. back in may a doctor put me on an anti-inflammatory drug.
Cheers and well wishers from Danny
if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things?
.all evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years?
as a young person you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.
I was born JW 1957 so i was 13 in 1969 i remember the article and the:"will U B alive in ' 75 hysteria".My dad was an elder and an "ass-whole"
They had insituted the 6 month max. study's for new recruits.The 'Truth' book with the 1914 generation profitcy was selling like hotcakes.
Start of puberty with all it's fallout in 6 months i was to be stricken with brutal unrelenting ulcerative colitis for the next 28 years.
Never never ever imagined in my worst nightmare i would see 2004 in 'this old system'.
For all you new recruits i stand as a witness of the watchtower's lies.
The watchtower lied and people died.
Watchtower liar this man on fire.Undaunted Danny

Video excerpts from History Channel presentation on apocalyptic groups http://www.dannyhaszard.com/cultvideos.htm See and hear for yourself the highly credible History Channel say; the Jehovah's Witnesses are a' spin-off of the William Miller movement'. Doctrines of demons from the get-go. Truly shocking!
