  Does the following paragraph on page 22 of the June 15, 2015 Watchtower magazine provide an accurate assessment of Charles Taze Russell? Does this paragraph contain mistakes and omissions?

  “When the time approached for God’s Kingdom in the hands of Jesus to start ruling from heaven, Jehovah helped his people to understand the timing of events. In 1876, an article written by Charles Taze Russell was published in the magazine Bible Examiner. That article, ‘Gentile Times: When Do They End?,’ pointed to 1914 as a significant year. The article linked the ‘seven times’ of Daniel’s prophecy with ‘the appointed times of the nations’ spoken of by Jesus.—Dan. 4:16; Luke 21:24.”

  My response is at:

  PS. Did you catch up with my recent Study,"The Great Crowd before 1935 and since"?

  It is being "economical with the truth" - concealing documented WTBTS information which if revealed, would provide overwhelming proof that Russell and his successors were nothing more than self-appointed false prophets who deceived many sincere people into believing that the WTBTS alone had God's backing on earth!

  Doug, thanks for the very detailed analysis.
  

  The WTBTS "traces all things with accuracy" and then publishes whatever the hell they want.

  Truth is irrelevant. The Bible is a prop.

  Let's review: It's a cult!
