i guess you could say jesus was the first christian, since he was the christ.
and as the first christian, jesus spoke more about hell that any other biblical figure.
but, he is also the figure that said that he didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels - Mt. 25 :31
The fire is everlasting, but it does not say those thrown in it are.
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Mt. 10: 28
This says that the soul dies. If something is destroyed, it no longer exists.
i've come across stuff on the web that states that russell claimed to be both a knight templar and a mason.
and also stuff on here that quotes various such organisations saying that russell didn't display enough knowledge about them to have ever been a member.. why do people act like such a revelation about russell is some sort of smoking gun?
rutherford purged russell from the organisation as soon as he could.. the people who would be more worried about the accusation would more likely to be members of the various surviving bible students groups.
Millions Now Living was a Rutherford product. Not Russell's. Russell never said that Michael was the Pope. [Oh, for goodness sake!]. And for historic context, many believed as did Russell about the great pyramid, including clergy who are still read and admired. That would include Seiss and Larkin.
Russell never claimed to be a mason or a knights templar. Too much silliness in this.

You're all being silly now, everyone knows Lloyd fought porn addiction by going to Thailand to date a Thia girl boy.

"It’s such a shame that Lloyd Evans has become such a poster child of what happens if you leave JWs and become apostate."
Yup. The poster boy for the mentally diseased.

"You are all obsessed with Lloyd Evans. What are you compensating?"
I'm just here for the bad grammar. ... Okay, not really. Evans brought this on himself by means of his unwarranted pride and immorality that even many who were disfellowshipped for sexual misconduct would find repugnant. He continues to defend his abuse of others, his lack of 'penis control,' his abusive relationship with his wife, and just plain, every-day stupidity.

I wonder if Lloyd boy was kicked in the head by a mule. That would explain everything. Well, perhaps not.
do you want to know what is really behind the fake coronavirus pandemic, so-called vaccines and the war in ukraine?
to understand current events, you must first learn the history.
the world's biggest secret is that there have been tremendous global disasters in the past that decimated populations and caused the collapse of empires.
If I were pursuing my masters in Psychology instead of History, this would be an ideal place to research.

I don't believe in inspired visions. However, I've had a ... vision. I saw Lloyd boy standing in a doorway. His eyes were wide and tear filled. Then, for no accountable reason, he banged his head on the wall, over and over, until he bled. All the while he mumbled, "my money! my money! oh my money! I'll have no money to pay Gloria, Sandra, or even 80 year old Carol. Oh what will I do?"

EasyP,
I'm extremely sympathetic. As you recount it, your experience is distressing.
I do not see in the video links you provided any proof that M. Introvigne is paid in any fashion, except he likes to be in front of the camera.

Also ... Massimo Introvigne is a Catholic in disfavor with his religion because of a divorce. I've exchanged emails with him a few times. I found no evidence that he is paid by the Watchtower. If evidence exists, I would very much like to see it.
