In a recent post You Know maintained that "the Russellites have faded into irrelevance." They certainly are not as numerous as Jehovah's witnesses. But they certainly are not as irrelevant as he believes. The Watchtower has many daughters. Check out the following:

P.S.
Since the number of Bible Students is probably less than 10,000 that makes about the same number of anointed who partake of the emblems at the Memorial. I bet You Know doesn't think that number is insignificant!

One benefit of the Bible Students is that you can discuss differences openly and freely, without fear of repercussions.
But for dubs to brag about Russell is ridiculous. Rutherford came along and changed just about everything he taught.
From where I sit, Russell was just another man who saw things differently. But, still just a man, with all the imperfections the rest of us have.
But if You Know thinks the Bible Students have just faded away, he is dead wrong. While I have never been to any of their gatherings, I do receive the End Times Quarterly from them and they are quite active. With the worldwide decrease in JWs, maybe it is they who headed for fading away to irrelavance.
