| ARTICLES RELATED TO Jehovah's Witnesses | | | |  Jehovah's Witnesses: Encyclopedia II - Jehovah's Witnesses splinter groups - Second crisis : Pastor Russell's deathAfter Charles Taze Russell's death in 1916, Joseph Franklin Rutherford was elected second president of the Watchtower Society and immediately started an intensive work of restructuring the movement which, by 1928, led to nearly three-quarters of the membership departing association with the Society. One of Rutherford's most controversial moves was the expulsion of four members (R. H. Hirsh, I. F. Haskins, A. I. Ritchie, and J. D. Wright) of the seven-member Board of Directors appointed by Pastor Russell, with his own appointees in July 1917. ...

"יְהֹוָה" is found 6518 times in the Ben Chayyim Hebrew text of 1525 A.D., which underlies the Old Testament of the King James Bible. The 1611 edition of the King James Bible translated "יְהֹוָה" as "I ...

| | | | | Jehovah's Witnesses: Encyclopedia II - Jehovah - KJVO Christians defend the vowel points of יְהֹוָה and the name Jehovah Most modern scholars hold the view that the vowel points of the spelling "יְהֹוָה" (which would seem to indicate a pronunciation "Yehowah", if taken literally) are not the correct vowel points of God's name — and that they were actually never intended to be such, but were instead a masoretic Q're perpetuum, or implicit textual note to indicate that the letters YHWH should be pronounced out loud as "Adonai" when reading the text (something later misunderstood by early Christian Hebraists). Therefore most scholars ...

| | | | | Jehovah's Witnesses: Encyclopedia II - Jehovah - Translations of YHWH found in writings of the Greek Fathers The evidence of the Greek church fathers shows the forms Jabe and Jâo to be traditional, as well as the shortened Hebrew forms of the words Jah (see Psalms 68:4, for example) and Jahu (in proper names). It could indicate that the name was originally spoken Jaweh or Yahwe (often spelled Yahweh in modern usage). This is supported by Yahwitic names of the Masoretic text, the Peshitta Aramaic and the Marashu texts. The pronunciation of Yahweh is also preserved in ancient transliterations of the name written in Egyptian Hieroglyphics, cuneiform ...

| | | | | | Jehovah's Witnesses: Encyclopedia II - Jehovah's Witnesses splinter groups - First splits : 1909 In 1907, Pastor Russell more pointedly expressed that Christians were not developed under the New Covenant, but that the New Covenant was future, and made between God and the nation of Israel for the purpose of teaching the world his plan.
This, and controversy over other doctrines, led some to leave in 1909, leading to the formation of New Covenant Bible Students.
M.L. McPhail, Pilgrim member of the Chicago Bible Students, also disassociated himself from Russell's movement at that time and led the New Covenant Bible Students in the ...

They teach that Jesus was the first to be rewarded in this way, but that Revelation 7:4 and Revelation 14:1, 3 refer to a literal number (144,000) of additional people who will become "self-sustaining," that is, not needing anything outside themselves (food, sunlight, etc.) to maintain their own life.

| | | | | | | | | Jehovah's Witnesses: Encyclopedia II - Bible Student movement - Other groups In 1917, Alexander F.L. Freytag, Branch manager of the Swiss Watch Tower Society since 1898, founded the Angel of Jehovah Bible and Tract Society (also known as the Philanthropic Assembly of the Friends of Man and The Church of the Kingdom of God, Philanthropic Assembly). When he started publishing his views he was ousted from the Watchtower Society by Rutherford in 1919. He published two journals, the monthly The Monitor of the Re ...

This, and controversy over other doctrines, led some to leave the movement in 1910. The result was the formation of the New Covenant Bible Students, who began to hold their yearly Christian Believers Conferences, teaching that Christians were being called and developed under the ...

| | | | | Jehovah's Witnesses: Encyclopedia II - Shunning - Shunning in Christian denominations Several passages in the New Testament suggest shunning as a practice of early Christians, and are cited as such by its modern-day practitioners within Christianity. As with many Biblical teachings, however, not all Christian scholars or denominations agree on this interpretation of these verses.
1 Corinthians 5:11-13: But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not e ...

| | | | | | Jehovah's Witnesses: Encyclopedia II - Restorationism - Restorationists Restorationism draws attention to the reason it exists, which is sometimes called the Great Apostasy, or the fallen state of traditional Christianity. Because of its divisions, errors, and compromises with the world, the corrupted church fell out of line with the church founded by Jesus. If there were no apostasy-at-large and a church on the true-and-legitimate pattern was present, there would be no need for a Restoration. Thus, Restorationists can be compared to one another in their conviction that there has ...

| | | | | Jehovah's Witnesses: Encyclopedia II - Excommunication - Christianity
Excommunication - Anathema.
The biblical form of excommunication is to declare one anathema. The difference between an anathema and excommunication is that generally excommunications are pronounced by the Catholic Church, which has created a ceremony that corresponds to them. This ceremony is proper only to Bishops and other prelates, and is contained in the Pontificale Romanum, a liturgical book of the Roman Rite which contains all of the sacraments and other ceremonies a Bishop might perform. Anathemas were emp ...

| | | | | Jehovah's Witnesses: Encyclopedia II - Restorationism - Restorationist dates for the Great Apostasy Restorationism is often criticized for rejecting the traditions followed by the early church, but different restoration groups have treated tradition differently. While some view all the Church Fathers as unreliable witnesses to the original Apostolic Church, others find in the earliest Church Fathers proof that the early church believed and practiced as some Restorationists do, and the late Church Fathers differences as evidences of a gradual or sudden falling away. Common to all Restorationism is the belief that the Church Fathers or post-apostolic church leadership had no author ...

| | | | | Jehovah's Witnesses: Encyclopedia II - Shunning - Shunning in the Bahá'í Faith Members of the Bahá'í Faith are expected to shun those that have been declared Covenant-breakers by the head of their faith. These are the leaders of schismatic groups that resulted from challenges to the Bahá'í leadership, as well as those who follow them, or who refuse to shun these. Since unity is the highest value in the Bahá'í Faith, any attempt at schism by a Bahá'í is considered a spiritual sickness, and a negation of what the religion stands for.[1] People ...
