It has become the custom for writers to write that Russell was the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses organization. Thus, many often attribute the teachings of that organization to Russell.
In reality, Russell knew nothing of such an organization. He actively preached against the formation of such an organization of this kind until he died. The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society in his days was not a ruling organization, but a service organization.
After Russell died, Joseph Rutherford, by means of deceit and legal trickery, gained control of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society and used that legal entity to form his new organization with its new teachings. In the 1930s, Rutherford named his new organization "Jehovah's Witnesses" in order to distinguish his organization from the Bible Students who refused to go along with his new teachings.

Ronald,
You'd put a comment on our blog, http://preachtoday.blogspot.com/ regarding the Trinity. I wanted you to know that Trevor posted an article about the Trinity and I've posted two on the deity of Christ.
You said there was no scriptural evidence for the Trinity but you didn't comment on anything Trevor posted on the subject. Just curious if you've seen them and if you had any comments.
Thanks,
Jim
Jim,
I went back to the blog, but was unable to find either my former comments or the posts you mention. If you know exact URL, rather than just the homepage, that might be helpful.
Yes, there is nothing in the Bible about three persons in the one true God. (John 17:3) One has add the trinitarian philosophy to, and read that philosophy into, each and every scripture that is presented to allegedly support the added-on philosophy. The Bible is perfectly in full harmony with itself without adding the trinitarian philosophy, which philosophy tends toward denial of the very basis of the Biblical atonement.
Bible Students deny the trinity, but not the deity/divinity of Jesus.
