It's like a totally different religion.
But Witnesses equate CTR with the Apostles even today.

I would say it's about 10-15% of the same teachings. This is a high estimate.
While they do continue not to believe in a number of mainstream doctrines, what they actaully do believe is much more fuzzy. Most of what they hold to be true now is mostly based on older teachings. Most of their prophetic interpretations come from Rutherord, not Russell. -

If you want to believe like a JW you have to read this months watchtower, every month to find out what you belive.

They still believe C.T. Russell broke away from Babylon the Great and helped establish the only true way of worship. It's right there in the Bible, you can check it out!

That is why modern-day "Bible Students" say that Russell is not the founder of the JWs but rather Rutherford deserves this patriarch credit
LOL, wonder how ole Ted is gonna get himself away from the Judge's sentence of 1914!
Yes folks the "end is drawing near", just not the kind that the WTBS had in mind.
