Jehovah's Witness Theocracy

Jehovah's Witness Theocracy, also known as Watchtower Theocracy, is an offshoot of  that emphasizes trying to convert as many to the faith as possible before the "Armageddon" and the usage of the name "Jehovah" to refer to God. It is a product of the  preacher William Miller who lived and taught about the Second Coming in the mid-1840s, around the time of the Second Great Awakening. Thus, it is a product of the Adventist movement.

Under the guidance of Charles Taze Russell, the Watchtower Society was founded. It was a distributor of tracts, papers, and Bibles that claimed that it was not a religious organization. After the passing Russell in 1917, his successor, Joseph Franklin Rutherford, took over. He purged anyone in the leadership who didn't agree with him and established the coming Armageddon as doctrine within the Watchtower Society. He also prohibited members from growing beards, as he did not want them to resemble Russell. In 1931, the Watchtower Society was renamed to the Jehovah's Witnesses.
