  Although Russell denied in his writings any real debt to the Second Adventists

  Do you happen to remember where Russell wrote this?

  Thank you all for the very enlightening posts, they make it obvious that the JWs are not a "religion" that suddenly appeared from nowhere out of the thin air as they like to imply but they have very obvious humans roots.
  
  They did indeed come out of protestantism but they won't do as much as aknowledge the 1914 date to Barfour, and assign it instead to Russell. But let's also remember that Russell was big on zionism and had intimate interactions with the Jews.
