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.
