Jehovah witness, why you dont like it when....?

Not a JW but one thing I think you should know is that Charles Russell was not the original founder of the Jehovah Witness religion. That honor should go to Joseph Rutherford who took control after Charles Russell's death in 1916. Charles Russell was the founder of the Bible Students and while his teachings somewhat mirrored the current teachings of the Watchtower Society there has been so many changes and revisions made throughout the century that almost all of Charles Russell's teachings is now considered to be "bad light". Ironically, if Charles Russell were alive today he would have been disfellowshipped and shunned for his beliefs one of them being his belief in pyramidology which JW's now consider to be satanic.

Because on here (for it is rarely when we preach from house to house), all we get is our brother maligned and abused and so naturally, we don't like that.

Please would you like it if someone or ones, put someone you respect down, even though they have never met them? I am pretty sure it would get to you as well!

Our brother was used by Jehovah to start off His work, so actually, Jehovah is our founder and Charles Taze Russell a vessel!

10 “YOU are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “even my servant whom I have chosen, in order that YOU may know and have faith in me, and that YOU may understand that I am the same One. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none. 11 I—I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.”

12 “I myself have told forth and have saved and have caused [it] to be heard, when there was among YOU no strange [god]. So YOU are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “and I am God. 13 Also, all the time I am the same One; and there is no one effecting deliverance out of my own hand. I shall get active, and who can turn it back?

This is quoted from the book of Isaiah, written about 800 years before Jesus came to earth. Which means it was about 2,700 before Charles Russell was born, so how could Charles Russell be the found of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Furthermore, Jehovah chose us. Most of us were looking for him in all the wrong places when he noticed we wanted to find him, and he drew us to him.

Russel calculated many of the return of Jesus dates by measurements in the great pyramid of Giza. All of them failed. He was buried on Watchtower land under a pyramid tombstone. Jehovah Witness's have a very selective memory when it comes to the cults failures.

Ask them about Beth Sarim and they won't know what it it. Judge Rutherford had a mansion built for the returning prophets built in CA. He lived there in extreme luxury. The prophets never returned, the world didn't end in 1925 and the mansion was sold after Rutherford died.

We don't consider him as our founder. He was our brother, just like the apostles and other worshipers of Jehovah. He was given a role by Jesus Christ and Jehovah to serve a purpose that was needed in his time frame. Just like all of us serve a purpose today that is greatly needed at this time we are in. The governing body serves a purpose in God's theocratic arrangement on earth, Jesus serves a purpose in God's heavenly organization, the elders serve a purpose in God's earthly arrangement etc.,

No one found anyone, but only Jehovah himself. Who continually guides and directs us humans to fulfill his purposes and will for the sake of his name.

Vot is yet to meet a Witness who doesn't like it when Br. Russell is mentioned- why would anyone not like to be reminded of one of our spiritual ancestors, who by his self-sacrificing spirit and zeal contributed much to the history of Jehovah's modern-day organisation?

Of course, if you mention him in a rude or slanderous way, we'd not be interested in listening to you.

How would you feel if someone peddled lies about your beloved great-grandfather?
