Charles Taze Russell never claimed to a prophet, and plainly stated that he was not a prophet. Russell sought, through study of the Bible itself, to reclaim the message of the Bible itself. The Bible itself, properly understood, explains why there is so much religious confusion, and why the Bible itself contains mysteries that are not understood by the world at the present time. Jesus is the prophet of out time through whom the God of Abraham speaks. (Exodus 3:14,15; Deuteronomy 18:15-19; Acts 3:13-26; Hebrews 1:1,2) This last prophet Jesus speaks to us through the apostles. (The word "prophet" can also mean public speaker) This is what Russell taught.
Russell also showed from the Bible why the Bible is full of secrets, and why there is so much religious confusion.
The JWs, however, have rejected much that Russell taught, and have replaced it with an "organization" gospel of bad tidings of great woe of eternal destruction in their idea of Armageddon for most of the peoples of the Earth. Media URL: http://youtu.be/lxWueyQuzSw
