What is the origin of the Jehovah's Witnesses?

Answer 1

Note: The question is asking the origin, not for anything else.

Answer 1:

Adam's son Abel was the first of a long line of Witnesses of Jehovah God. Anyone who remained faithful to God in ancient times (according to Biblical record) was one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Answer 2:

This Christian sect called nowadays the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses was originally founded by Charles T. Russell.

Their modern history dates back to a small Bible study group organized by Charles Taze Russell in about 1870. Charles Taze Russell rejected the teachings of other churches, including that of his own parents, such as the Trinity and the hellfire doctrine.

He also published the first Watchtower magazine in 1879.

Answer 3:

Originally from heaven, the angels were the first witnesses of Jehovah's creative works. Then there was Abel of old. And Jesus Christ is the first Christian witness. Now, many of Jesus' footstep followers are Jehovah's Christian Witnesses too. At Isaiah 43:10-12, Jehovah said; "You are my witnesses..."

Answer 2

The name "Jehovah's Witness" can be applied to any biblical character that spoke out in the name of the True God. Examples of such individuals are Enoch, Noah, Moses and Daniel.

The modern day history of Jehovah's Witnesses as an organisation started in 1870. Charles Taze Russell*, raised as a Presybyterian who later associated with the Congregational Church, was searching for convincing answers to his questions. His frustration in not finding them in the established churches lead him to eventually undertake an independent study of The Bible with some close associates from 1870 - 1875.

This small bible study group grew to about 30 individuals. He collaborated briefly with Nelson Homer Barbour, (1824-1908) a "Millerite" Adventist who agreed with him on the invisible nature of Christ's return to produce the journal "Herald of the Morning from 1876-1878.

Russell however was never an Adventist and voiced his disagreed with much of the Adventist teachings (notably in the physical return of Christ); that having been said, Russell's group found that there other individuals that had had similar views to theirs and publically acknowledged the value of the works of individuals such as Adventist Jonas Wendell, Henry Grew (1781-1862), Baptist Minister William Miller (1782-1849), Methodist-Episcopal minister George Storrs (1796-1879) and others.

Russell's study group of around 30 members merged with Barbours larger group in 1876 but due to a difference of opinion, the two groups split in May 22, 1879 and Russell cut of all contact with Barbour and it was at this point that Russell undertook to produce his own journal "Zion's Watchtower". The first issue was in July 1979.

The readers of "The Watchtower" formed bible study groups all over the country and sought to share the things they were learning. Russell died in 1916 but the Bible Students continued. They adopted the name "Jehovah's Witnesses" in 1931.

*Jehovah's Witnesses do not view Russell as their "founder" or a Prophet but a Minister in a position of leadership during the early days of their modern day organization.
