Charles Russell was at first, a paster of a false religion. As he was 'teaching' these followers in his group, he started to read The Bible a bit more closely and realized that his teachings were false. As soon as he found out that all of these people were wrong, and he'd been learning things that were wrong this whole time, he began to look deeper and deeper into the bible.
He started to teach people the truth of the bible, and what it actually says, and means. He came out with the watchtower, to help people understand the bible a bit more than just reading it.
The people who were teaching about hell and what happens when you die, were just speaking out of their head, because that was never put into the bible. (Ecclesiastes 9:5 says that when someone dies, they are conscious of nothing and the remembrance of them has been forgotten)
Charles Russell took the time to see what the bible really said.

What year did Charles taze Russell sart the jahovers witness church?
Charles Taze Russell did not start the Jehovah's Witnesses church in any year at all. The Jehovah's Witneses "church"/religion/organization did not come into existence until after Russell died. It was Joseph Rutherford who, after Russell died, created the organization that he, in 1931, named "Jehovah's Witnesses" in order to distinguish his organization from the general Bible Students groups. Russell, however, was a nonsectarian who preahed against the kind of organization that Rutherford later created. Russell believed that "the true church" could not be represented by any "outward organization" such the JW organization, and one could be a member of the true church irrespective of denominational lines. In a general way, one could say that the Bible Students movement came into existence as a result of Russell's works. Nevertheless, the majority of the Bible Students movement rejected Rutherford's new organization dogma, and thus the Bible Students in general never took the name "Jehovah's Witnesses".

Who start the Jehovah's Witnesses religion?
The modern day history of Jehovah's Witnesses started in 1870 with Charles Taze Russell*, the prime mover of a religiously independent bible study group who went on to be the first President of the Watchtower Society that prints the principle religious bible study journal of Jehovah's Witnesses "The Watchtower" magazine in July 1979. The readers of "The Watchtower" formed more bible study groups 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.

When did Jehovah's Witnesses start and by whom Christ or a man?
There were Witnesses of Jehovah God long before Jesus was on earth. Really, anyone who serves Jehovah God, is 'by-nature' one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Actually, in the Bible, Able is listed as the first Witness of Jehovah God.Even Jesus is called in Revelation as 'a faithful witness'. Therefore Jesus was also a Witness of Jehovah God.Answer: No human started Jehovah's Witnesses. Not even Jesus started it on earth. I suppose that really Jehovah God himself started it, by CREATING Humans to BE HIS WITNESSES. Jehovah didn't want Adam & Eve to be witnesses of his adversary, Satan.If you are just limiting your question to modern times - - - well, the name 'Jehovah's Witnesses, was available for anyone before 1931. But no one wanted anything to do with that name 'Jehovah'. They had all been taught to worship his son, Jesus. For many people, just the word 'Jehovah' is an aversion (meaning it makes their stomach crawl).But there was a group that called themselves 'Bible Students'. They saw that many Bible translations deleted God's personal name from their Bibles. This bothered them. So in 1931 they drew up a Resolution; and determined to being called by what they really already were, Witnesses of Jehovah God. To shorten it up, they called themselves: Jehovah's Witnesses.
Are they also known as Jehovah's Wittnesses?
I am not sure who is the "they" that you are asking about, but I will start off the discussion of this question by saying that many in the Bible were known as witnesses of Jehovah God. Hebrews chapter 11 lists many, many famous, faithful people such as Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and others who Hebrews 12:1 identifies as a "great cloud of witnesses." Who were they witnesses of? The Bible clearly identifies the name of the God whom they worshipped and therefore were witnesses of. His name is Jehovah.(Exodus 6:3, Psalms 83:18) Jesus is the greatest example of being a witness. While on earth, he served as a witness (1 Timothy 6:13) and even after his ascention and glorification in heaven is still referred to as "The Faithful Witness." (Revelation 1:5) What or whom was he, and is he a witness of? Since he is the "word" or spokesman for God(John 1:14), he is a witness of Jehovah. This is further indicated by the fact that he refers to the God of Mary (a Jewess), as his God and Father. (John 20:17) Since Mary was a Jew, her God was Jehovah, the God of the Jews. Likewise, Jesus' God is Jehovah.

What is the basis of the Jehovah's Witness religion?
Based on my research, the fundamental (start) of the JW beliefs are the ff: 1. That there is no such thing as Eternal Hell Fire. Jesus was in Hell when he died. Acts 2:25-27. 2. That there is no immortal soul coming out of a mans body after death because the soul, it actually, will die. "Ezekiel 18:4" That was the start of the succeeding bible research of Brother Rutherford on finding out the truth in the Bible up until today. :) We welcome you to know more about Jehovah and His words of wisdom should you consider conducting a Free Bible study with us.
