“I would not be a slave to you or to any government or system. I have never been in any church but one–that was a Congregational church, and I got out of that. Now I am not in bondage to any person or thing in the world–only to the Lord. If you get the right comprehension of anything that I write you will understand that I never ask you to come into bondage to any man or thing--but only to the Lord.”–Charles Taze Russell.
