What did Rutherford call the centralized administrative structure he imposed on the Bible Student movement?

  • Anarchy

  • Dictatorship

  • Monarchy

  • Theocracy

Answer

Theocracy is the name that Charles Taze Russell, founder of the Watch Tower Society, gave to the centralized administrative structure that he imposed on the Bible Student movement in the early 20th century. This structure, which was based on Russell's belief in the imminent return of Christ and the establishment of a new world order, gave him complete control over the movement's finances, publications, and activities.
