There was no "Jehovah's Witnesses" religion until after Charles Taze Russell died. Russell did not believe in such an organization, nor did he believe in the teachings of that organization. It was Joseph Rutherford who, after Russell died, through deceit and legal trickery gained control of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, and used that legal entity to form his new organization, which he later dubbed "Jehovah's Witnesses".

Thank you for that information. I had read that his orginization had split up into two differnt groups after his death, but the information I had said that both groups saw him as the founder of their group. Going on that information I listed him as the founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses, being the most widely reconized of the two groups. But in the future I will make sure to only note him of the founder of his Bible society and writings.
