Who founded the Jevohah's Witnesses?
The very first faithful witness of Jehovah God was Abel. (See Hebrews 11:4 and Genesis 4). Jehovah'sWitnesses would not recognise any human founder since they believ all Christian belief to be founded on Scripture as revealed through the Bible.However the modern day history of Jehovah's Witnesses is generally recognised to have been founded by Charles Taze Russell, who in the 1870's established a bible study group in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., which is now a part of Pittsburgh. He eventually went on to become the first president of the Watchtower Tract Society which remains one of Jehovah's Witnesses legal entities for publishing their literature.He died in 1916.Most people would say that the founder was Charles Taze Russell who founded the group in 1879. He also began publishing the Watchtower magazine. In 1912 Russell admitted to perjury and (under oath) to not knowing Greek, Hebrew, or Latin. The next year he lost a law suit against a newspaper which exposed a scam he had run selling "Miracle Wheat." In the case it came out that the Watchtower was little more than a moneymaking scheme for Russell, who owned 99% of the shares in the holding company the profits went to. In the same year his wife sued him for divorce on the grounds of "his conceit, egotism, domination and improper conduct toward other women." He was was deported from Canada in 1916 and died the same year. During his life, Russell warned members (repeated by the Watchtower in 1981) not to read the Bible exclusively or there would be a danger that they would revert back to orthodox Christian beliefs quite quickly. To prevent this, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society continues to publish huge amounts of literature which is compulsory reading for members. (It's also a huge money-spinner for the Watchtower.)
Why does your neighbor keep putting the Watchtower on your door?
Your neighbor is a member of a religious organization informally called Jehovah's Witnesses. He/she is proselytizing you; the desire is to get you interested in that religion and eventually join. The group is formally known as The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.
