[quote:DGN:MV8yMTUzMjc2XzM2NDgyMjIwX0E4NzE3RTg2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 31914951:MV8yMTUzMjc2XzM2NDgyMDQ5Xzg0NzNCNUNB] A better question would be: "If CTR was not the founder of JWs why do they claim he is?" [/quote] Russell was a mortal bible student learning new things and trying to figure out which current understandings were true or false, hellfire in particular. Jesus is the head of Jehovah's Witnesses, he already had everything right, no learning curve. " He delivered us from the authority of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, 14 by means of whom we have our release by ransom, the forgiveness of our sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. 17 [b][i]Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist, 18 and he is the head of the body, the congregation[/i][/b]. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that he might become the one who is first in all things; 19 because [God] saw good for all fullness to dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile again to himself all [other] things by making peace through the blood [he shed] on the torture stake, no matter whether they are the things upon the earth or the things in the heavens." Col1:13 [/quote]
