It would interest you to know that Jehovah's Witnesses (JW) originated as a branch of the Bible Student movement, which developed in the United States in the 1870s among followers of Christian Restorationist minister, Charles Taze Russell.
Bible Student missionaries were sent to England in 1881 and the first overseas branch was opened in London in 1900. The group took on the name International Bible Students Association, and by 1914 it was also active in Canada, Germany, Australia and other countries.
However, the movement split into several rival organizations after Russell's death in 1916, with one led by Russell's successor, Joseph "Judge" Rutherford, retaining control of both his magazine, The Watch Tower, and his legal and publishing corporation, the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania.
Under Rutherford's direction, the International Bible Students Association introduced significant doctrinal changes that resulted in many long-term members leaving the organization.
The group regrew rapidly, particularly in the mid 1930s with the introduction of new preaching methods. In 1931, the name Jehovah's witnesses was adopted, further cutting ties with Russell's earlier followers.
Controversies
There were so many controversies surrounding the secret lifestyle of Charles Taze Russel. First of all, Russell was a Freemason. All the early watchtower and books he authored have Freemason symbology and art throughout them. Not a big deal I thought, until I read more about Freemasons and the so-called "Illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.
Some of these families are the DuPonts, Mcdonalds, Kennedys, Onassis, Rockefellers, Rothschilds, the Li family of China, etc, and they all have their fingers in investment banking, politics, sciences, etc. Their goal is to basically control everyone else through manipulating society to at some point accept one world government (New World Order, UN), which they'll control with their already great degree of influence.
Most of Freemason architecture and ritual is based on Egyptology. Some think the same group of people who ruled Egypt have for centuries inter-bred with other important families around the world to keep a monopoly on power and economics, and the Freemason culture is how they keep networking and keep their bloodlines pure.
Here's the big kicker for me. I was doing some harmless research on Jehovah's Witnesses just to reminisce about the old days when I stumbled upon the fact that the founder of JWs, Charles T. Russell, was an ex-Freemason. The Russells are also one of the 13 families listed as members of the Illuminati. More so, in accordance with the New World Order agenda, the Witnesses adopted the New World Translation (NWT) version for their official Bible.
All the early watchtowers and JW books have Freemason symbology on the cover. Now, no big deal at first, right? Wrong. When you combine the goal of freemasonry, or the Illuminati, with the doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses, you have a perfect marriage of the two.
Basically, the whole goal of JWs is to see an end to organized religion and governments. Exactly what the Illuminati want! So, they try hard to convince people ahead of time to be prepared for it.
