You know Tallyman, I have long contended that the founder(s) of the WT deliberately did things to insure "persecution", like that would make them appear to have "the truth" or something.
However, you have hit on something here. What
kind of folks are usually drawn to such a group?
Social outcasts of course, looking for that sense of "belonging", eh? Maybe Russell was just providing HIMSELF a group of misfits to fit in with and be looked up to by.
Very interesting theory, don't you think? I'd say it's at least viable.
Not caring how you part your hair,
