Jehovah's Witness
Previously known as the International Bible Students, the Jehovah's Witnesses began at the end of the 19th century, led by Charles Taze Russell. Russell disagreed with some of the common Christian doctrines, such as the existence of Hell and the Trinity. Therefore, at the age of eighteen, he organized a bible club in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Today, this club is known as the Watchtower Society and is located in Brooklyn, New York. A few years after organizing, they began publishing a biblical journal which is now called The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom (Slick). The journal is currently the world's most widely published and circulated religious magazine. Several presidents have led the society since Russell. There are currently over six-million members, spanning 95,000 congregations in 230 lands. These members come from all different social, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds (JW Online).
