You must mean Charles Taze Russell.
He was part of a Bible study group who set about trying to work out what The Bible really taught. In their studies they quickly realised many of the doctrines of the mainstream churches were not found in the Bible. 9The Trinity, the immortal soul, hellfire)
This so impressed them that they of course wanted to tell others.
Charles was a very successful businessman, and he felt what he was learning was so important that he sold his chain of shops and poured his fortune into a Bible magazine (the Watchtower) to show people what the Bible said.
Of course he didn't know everything, and many of the conclusions he had at the time are no longer believed by Jehovah's Witnesses, but that was the start of a movement that now is engaged in the greatest Bible education in history.
There are over 7.5 million JWs busy teaching people what they know about the Bible today in hundreds of languages.
