"Gradually I was led to see that though each of the creeds contained
some elements of truth, they were, on the whole, misleading and
contradictory of God's Word.
After all these years, it should be obvious to everyone, that it was never really Russell's fault, or for that matter even the Watchtower's fault.
The problem that has led to "a Watchtower Organization" being built, and robbing people of their lives is the continuing Belief that the BIBLE is GOD'S WORD.
This fallacy has continued to mislead, divide, confuse, and enslave people into the idea that GOD is somehow involved in communicating with people by means of a book consisting of weird blood lust accounts, and contradictory STORIES, written by mere men. Why wasn't any woman used to write at least one book? Because it was written by men when humanity was still evolving from a misogynistic, lower class view of women.
The Bible has been used for thousands of years to create all kinds of religions. Some 40,000 sects, groups, and mainstream CHRISTIAN congregations or churches.
Do we really believe that an ALL POWERFUL , WISE and JUST GOD, would tolerate such stupidity if he actually existed and knew this book was the cause of so much division among humanity?
All Russell did was REINTERPRETED, what the Bible meant in HIS IMAGINATION and from there another religious cult out of thousands before it, emerged.
As long as the Bible continues to be looked at as being the "Words" of an ALMIGHTY, ALL POWERFUL, GOD, who has trillions of ways to communicate to his tiny creatures, like through dreams, one on one with everybody, instant voice from the sky, or anything you can think of from an omnipotent Being, you have to mediate and ask the question,
WHY WOULD THIS ALL POWERFUL BEING CHOOSE TO USE A BOOK LIKE THE BIBLE, WHICH HAS BEEN USED AS AN INSTRUMENT TO CONFUSE, TO ENSLAVE, TO MURDER,----INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO KNOW AND LEARN FROM A "SUPPOSED" GOD OF LOVE?
