Focus on Charles Taze Russell

CLICK HERE to see the text of this booklet.

“Pastor Russell needs no defense amongst those who know him.” And this still remains true today for those who know him through his writings. However, the false accusations and misrepresentations seem to have become even more widespread today, and very many people are being misled to think evil of Russell as a result.

The link takes you to “A Great Battle in the Ecclesiastical Heavens”, the text of a booklet that discusses many of the charges that were made against Russell: miracle wheat “fraud”, charges of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Russell’s ordination, Russell’s divorce, alleged stocks, United States Investment Company, Russell alleged to be a kidnapper, Russell’s alleged wealth, fish story, adultery, the Ross Libel suit, and more.

We are providing links below to Google searches of Russell’s works for the phrase “true church.”

One of the JWs has a page on Russell’s marriage which we believe to be very informative. Be aware that the site does preach the JW organization in the other posts, but the information on the post linked to below appears to be accurate and useful.The material is reproduced from the JW Proclaimers book and their 1975 Yearbook, discussing Russell’s marital problems, and the charges his wife brought against. The post brings out that Mrs. Russell denied that she was claiming that Russell had committed adultery.

A tract produced by the Roman Catholic The Evangelization Station, entitled “A Brief History of the Watchtower,” states: “Russell called himself God’s mouthpiece.” The statement, as stated, is true enough. Of course, Russell did believe that God has used him in a general way to bring forth many truths from the storehouse of the Bible. The evident desire of this statement, however, is that Russell was claiming to be the sole authority on God.
