They seem to believe that Russell and Rutherford were right about everything and want to stick to that version of the religion.
I don't know what's worse - the WTS reinventing their beliefs all the time or people sticking to that first version.

peoples popular front of judea ?
is it about time for another big split in the cult ?

I thought we were the popular people's front? Whatever happened to them? LOL
It really shows that whatever the belief, someone will want to believe it. It's almost like the old religion was sold at a car-book / garage sale for a knock-down price and someone thought "yeah, I could recycle that!"

Looks like one of the "Bible Student" groups that split away in 1919, or 1928, or some other time. -
under the radar
I took a look at their website, and it seems they follow the teachings of Russell but reject everything Rutherford. Sort of like the original "Russelites," trapped in time as far as their beliefs. They are using updated technology, though, so they're not totally Luddites. -

Here's a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_Student_movement
I don't know how exhaustive that list is.

I had an email out of the blue from these recently:-
Who are the Bible Students?
We are your brothers and sisters, the children of the original Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, founded and guided by Pastor Charles Taze Russell until his death in 1916. We are set up just like the original Bible Students in the days of Pastor Russell. There is no governing body, except that Pastor Russell’s teachings remain a guiding influence among us. Each Bible Student Group elects their own elders and deacons, just as was the practice in the early church and in the early Truth movement in Pastor Russell’s day. In the spirit of love, we extend the warm hand of greetings and fellowship. Feel free to reply to this email or visit our website at http://www.friendsofjehovahswitnesses.com/.I wonder where they got my e-mail address from?
George
