Question What are the differences between Dispensationalism and Russellism?

This is the first thread I've started here. I think I've got my signature right and all.

Three of my grandparents were followers of Charles Taze Russell (proto-JWs). I was doing some research into that cult, and I was stunned when I found Russell's chart on the "times."

Now. Help me out here. Are there ANY differences between Russell's chart and any of the myriad ones I saw enlarged and plastered on dispie church hallways as I was growing up (pick one)? I do understand that Russell was an Arian and did not believe in Christ's deity, and that's crucial. But in trying to understand my grandparents attraction to this cult, I was a little dismayed that it might have been the same attraction the rest of my family has had toward dispensationalism.

Thanks.
