Russell never read anything Miller wrote. Russell's principal anticedents were not adventists but British Literalists.

The Books That Redefined C.T. Russell's Beliefs
by Maat13 inaccording to wt history, as a youth/young man, ct russell was unsatisfied with a number of explanations he was taught about the bible.
as a result he went on a quest to 'study' the bible himself.
ultimately this led to an organization that now requires its members to read bible aids to help them understand the bible.

the writer of AnointedJW : another master of pomposity?
by opusdei1972 inas i have read before, one of the members of this forum noted that the writer of the website anointedjw is a master of pomposity.
i am not against them, as i am with jw.org (the watchtower society), but i see that they are trying to imitate the language of the old testament prophets.
for instance, this is what they have recently written:.

I got asked THE QUESTION !!
by Tech49 ina little experience that happened very recently:.
another brother, an elder, and i were talking, i was explaining to him and giving him several examples of how a couple of the elders in our congregation were blatantly trying to run their own show, parading themselves around as "representatives" of the body, when the other brothers didnt know what the hell they were talking about.
they are using their "elder powers" to bully and push people around, causing a bit of angst and hurt feelings.

Watchtower Nov 2014 for public (Satan and fiction)
by opusdei1972 inthe passage that narrates the three temptations appears in the synoptics, but is ignored in the fourth gospel.
furthermore, in the fourth gospel jesus could not spend 40 days in the wilderness after being baptized as told in mark 1:12-13 (which is the source of matthew and luke).
so, if the testimony of the author of the fourth gospel were true (read john 21:24), the story of the wilderness never happened.

The Hebrew word translated "evil" at Isa. 45:7 means calamity. It does not include the thought of wickedness, and it is not meant to be commentary on Satan's existence. You presume that the 19th Century Tübingen 'scholars' who found two authors of Isaiah had it right. It appears that you do not know why they suggested two authors, nor do you know why others reject that conclusion. Your comment is shallow. Hit the books.
