Its a fact that during their early years they were not only "alert to the possibility" of Armaggedon happening on 1914, but they publicly predicted it. Only after it didn't happen they changed the significance of 1914 to the crowning of Jesus as King of the heavens and the expulsion of Satan to earth. To just present their revised explanations is not honest.--AN

Please present your evidence then. --Clutch

And what will you consider evidence? It is quotes from early publications enough? There are many online places with quotes, a few of them even with facsimiles. Is that enough? I tried to get a hold of some early books by Russel in my library, but there were unfortunately "missing". I make a call to those with access to large libraries, to make a search for Charles Taze Russell publications, so that we have a few direct quotes, without passing through online sites.--AN

Direct quotes should be sufficient, provided they contain enough context. --Clutch

Their beliefs regarding the Trinity should be explored, especially with reference to Arius. I don't think this is controversial. Wesley
