The religion of the Jehovah's Witnesses originated in 1870, beginning as a Bible Study class lead by Charles Taze Russel. Because of their founder, Jehovah's Witnesses were originally called Russelites until 1931, when there was a division. Jehovah's Witnesses teach that the Church corrupted the Bible over hundreds of years, and have thus produced their own version, called the New World Translation.
