One of the faults many present against Russell was his lack of education. In this regard, many continue to spread false charges similar to those of J. J. Ross and the Brooklyn Eagle. Russell, however, had received education from private tutors beyond his seventh-grade public education. Around 1870, he decided to be non-denominational, and began an in-depth study of the Bible, with the aid of many ministers, including George W. Stetson, pastor of the Advent Christian Church in Edinboro, Pennsylvania and George Storrs, editor of the Bible Examiner in Brooklyn, New York. Russell's former private tutoring, his own research and study, including his studies of many works of writings by Christian authors, more than likely gave him an education equivalent to, or beyond, that of a Bachelor's degree.
