1. Founder and History

Charles Taze Russel was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, USA, on February 16th,1852. He had passion in eading books written by J.H Paton, a leader of the Seventh Adventist Church, and in the timing of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, when he was twenty (20). He had a bible study group meeting with people who has same ideas and faith as his. In 1879, this group published a magazine named ¡¸the Herald of the Morning¡¹. Later, this magazine changed its name to¡¸the Watchtower¡¹.

In 1874, Mr. Russel insisted that Jesus Christ came to this world in an invisible form. In his prediction, the age of Gentiles would be ended in 1914 by the occurrence of Armageddon. Also, he predicted that governments in this world would be destructed and God¡¯s kingdom would be established in 1914. However, his prediction failed. He was shocked by this failure and died on October 31st, 1916, on his way to his home, after giving a preach in California.

After Russel¡¯s death, J.F. Rutherford became the second leader of this group. He predicted that this world would be destructed in October 1975 by Armageddon. But, as we all know, this prediction also failed. He insisted that the year of 1914 mentioned in the Russel¡¯s prediction did not mean the end of Armageddon, but the start of Armageddon. He also said that the battles for Armageddon will start very soon. Further, Rutherford claimed that Jesus Christ already came to this world in spirit in 1914. He claimed that Jesus Christ entered into

the holy place in 1918 and established a heavenly government, in order to judge Christians in traditional churches who reject doctrines of Jehovah¡¯s Witnesses.

2. Main Insistence of Jehovah¡¯s

Witnesses 1) Denial of Holy Trinity: Jesus Christ is a creature and Holy Spirit represents God¡¯s activism Jehovah¡¯s Witnesses rejects the Trinity, since they say that there is no definition of Trinity in the Bible. Under Jehovah¡¯s Witnesses¡¯ doctrine, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit cannot be God. Jehovah¡¯s Witnesses treats Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit as creatures of God and denies the divinity and personality of them. It claims that Jesus Christ is an arc angel, Michael and that Holy Spirit is only God¡¯s activism.

Bible clearly shows us that Jesus Christ is the only son of God and God in flesh and blood (Phillips 2:5~10) and that he has the perfect and complete divinity and personality (Rome 9:5). Also, Bible indicates that Jesus Christ has been existing from the very first, prior to the all creatures¡¯ birth(Colossians 1:15). Regarding the Holy Spirit, Bible describes him as ¡°he¡± (Johns 16:13) which shows his personality. Also Bible exactly and clearly shows us that Holy Spirit has his own knowledge (1 Corinthians 2:11), emotions (Ephesians 4:30), and his own will (1 Corinthians 12:11).

2) Jesus Christ came again to this world in a spiritual form in 1914 Jehovah¡¯s Witnesses insists that Jesus Christ has ruled the heaven as a king of heavenly government since 1914, by quoting the words from Revelation Chapter 12. How do they make the conclusion that Jesus Christ came again in 1914? The answer is in the book titled ¡ºYou can live forever in Paradise on Earth¡».

Jehovah¡¯s Witnesses denies eternity of human¡¯s soul. Under its doctrine, human existence disappears with its biological and physical death. ¡®Soul¡¯ is deemed as a kind of power, just like electricity, without any emotion nor life. Jehovah¡¯s Witnesses does not believe the existence of hell. It insists that teaching the existence of hell is dishonor to God.

Followers of Jehovah¡¯s Witnesses never salute the national flag nor sing the national anthem. Furthermore, they give up the compulsory education supplied by the government and they never apply for public offices. They reject compulsory military service and do not participate in any political activities. Jehovah¡¯s Witnesses treats governments in the world as Satan¡¯s systems and they do anti-national activities.
