[ EXCERPT from above:Jehovah's Witnesses, a true made-in-America religion, grew out of a movement that began with the end-time prophecies of William Miller, the founder of Adventism. The "Great Disappointment" of 1844 - when Miller's predictions of the Second Coming did not come true - did not deter him or others from their vision.
Coming out of the Adventist tradition was Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the Witnesses.
Russell set 1874 as the date for Christ's return, and 1914 for the battle of Armageddon and the beginning of Jesus' rule on Earth.
World War I seemed to confirm his prophecy, but the slogan of Russellites that "millions now living will never die" lost some impact when Russell died in 1916.
After several other failed attempts to predict the end of this world, the Witnesses in the 1990s officially dismissed date-setting as speculation. But the church continues to teach that the end is near, creating an urgency for individuals to prepare for the coming kingdom.
