  Jehovah’s Witnesses – Understanding World Religions

  History and back ground:

  Presidents:

  • Charles Russell 1872 -1916. Charles founded the JW in 1884 (known then as the Zion’s Watch Tower and Tract Society. He wrote 6 volumes of Studies in the Scriptures which laid the basic theology for his movement. He stated people would go into darkness without the aid of his studies.
  • Joseph F. Rutherford 1917-42. As the new leader he replaced some of Russell’s interpretations of theology. He increased the power and control over the group. In July of 1931 he changed the name to Jehovah’s Witnesses. He was a prolific writer.
  • Nathan H. Knorr 1942-77. He refined the organization. It grew from 115,000 to 2,000,000. He founded the “Watchtower Bible School” and “The Theocratic Ministry School”. Introduced “The New World Translation” the JW Bible. They changed verses to match their beliefs. They will add words to the Bible that are not in the Greek or Hebrew manuscripts.
  • Frederick W Franz (1977-92 dismissed). He continued to work on their theology. However, he wanted to change some of the prophesies because they were not going to come true. Eventually he wanted to change too much the official doctrines and was dismissed and ‘defellowshipped.’
  • Milton G Herschel 1992-2003. During his leadership JW cracked down on dissenters.
  • Don Adams 2003 to present. He is the only president that has not been part of “The Governing Body”. His role is largely administrative.

  Authority is a huge issue in the church.

  Don Adams 2003 to present. He is the only president that has not been part of “The Governing Body”. His role is largely administrative.

  Don Adams is only president of one of the many WT corporations (of which there are several other presidents of each corporation), a secular/business position. He is not the president of the GB or even anointed.

  St George of England

  So what about W H Conley who was first president of Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society from 1881 - 1884?

  The next to last of those listed presidents was NOT Herschel but Henschel

  George
