"Charles Taze Russell was a con man and it was proved in court."

I must admit, I do not know who this person is. I never learned of him in any of my Bible studies. I will look into it though. I'm assuming from your post he has to do with Jehovah Witnesses?

"and it was proved in court."

Again, knowing nothing of him (I will search once I post this) proven guilty in mans court doesn't hold much water.

Look at the "justices" we have in court now. They believe the killing of the unborn is a okay!

Charles Taze Russell started the JW’s. He was hauled into court for selling “miracle” wheat. He also claimed to be able to read Greek but couldn’t do so on the stand. You need to check it out or yourself.

The fact that you know next to nothing about the actual history of the organization to which you apparently belong (or belonged?) speaks volumes about the organization itself and your own credulity concerning it.

You mention your "Bible studies". You didn't really study the Bible; you studied Watchtower literature. If you are a member of the Watchtower Society in the final analysis it really doesn't matter what the Bible actually teaches about anything, the final authority for you is the what the Watchtower organization says the Bible says. Yet, if you ever actually sat down and starting reading the Bible for yourself (in any translation produced by people with actual knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, (unlike Frederick Franz who had no training in Hebrew and a grand total of two credit hours of Koine Greek in an entry-level course, according to his transcript) you might be surprised at what you find out. If you still are involved with them your fear at the idea of doing just should be a sign to you that the Watchtower hierarchy who claim exclusivity as God's organization and who nutrure that fear in you are the same ones who prefer that you remain in the dark about the history of the Watchtower organization, its vacillating doctrines, falsified predictions, and outright lies under oath of some of its early leaders. That should tell you something about them, but I doubt it will.

I don't doubt your sincerity but you have been seriously deceived.

Cordially,
