Hello all!!
Many new ones or lurkers may not know this but Charles Russell was NOT the first WT president like they teach! Who cares you may say? Well if I showed you where they acknowledged this in 1993, but as recent as 2001 they were still printing he was, would that not be valuable to you to show others the Watchtowers deliberate deciept?? Is Jesus feeding contradictory food to his "faithful slave"?? Here is what was found on a old thread, feel free to check it with your WT library..I used 2003 version and found it to be true:
1993 Kingdom Proclaimers Book- Chapter 26 page 576:
The following year the first of an extensive series of tracts designed to interest people in Bible truths was prepared for publication. This work quickly took on immense proportions. In order to handle it, Zion’s Watch Tower Tract Society was formed on February 16, 1881, with W. H. Conley as president and C. T. Russell as secretary and treasurer. Arrangements were made for the printing to be done by commercial firms in various cities of Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio, as well as in Britain. In 1884, Zion’s Watch Tower Tract Society was legallyincorporated, with C. T. Russell as president, and its charter showed that it was more than a society that would direct publishing. Its real objective was religious; it was chartered for "the dissemination of Bible Truths in various languages."
Compare to 2001 Watchtower January 15th page 8:
A
New Way to Declare the Good NewsIt is January of the year 1914. Imagine that you are seated among 5,000 others in a darkened auditorium in New York City. Before you is a large motion-picture screen. A white-haired man in a frock coat appears on screen. You have seen silent movies, but this man speaks, and you can hear his words. You are at the premiere of something technically innovative, and the message is unique. The speaker is Charles Taze Russell, the first president of the Watch Tower Society, and the production is the "Photo-Drama of Creation."
There is a whole host of other articles written between 1993, and 2001 that show the WT sticking to the teaching that CT Russell was the first President, when they know darn well that he wasn't! Now if they are truely guided by Jehovah and Christ Jesus, why is there deciept and cover up to the truth?? What do they have to hide?? Just thought I would share some food for thought.
Sincerely,
