Joe, I do not agree with either JWs or Russellites on the issues in question. That being said, I think you have been somewhat unfair to Bible Students, and I think RR144's answer to you was reasonable within the context of your remarks. I would point out that you really should take more time to learn what Russell taught on these matters before trying to shoot from the hip or the lip. In addition, I fellowship with a group that are called "Free Bible Students" who are not Russellites but who began breaking with the Society in 1909 and were joined later by many who broke with Rutherford in the 1920s and '30s. So there are Bible Students and Bible Students, something which you evidently didn't know.
