Are they not the original Bible Students who wised up straight away to Da Judge Ratherfraud , and left the WT/Rutherfordians in the 1920's ?
If so, they are still stuck in the Chazzer Russell era, Studies in the Scriptures and all that.

Yes they are. The commercials were like a JW infomercial. -

It sounded like what we used to preach in the early 1970s. Decent commercial, though. -

Just a note, there are many Bible Students groups; they are not one big organization like the WTS. Their beliefs vary to some degree in minor areas. Some that broke off back in the early days are now defunct.

I think one of the other students in my grade was a Millenial Dawner. I haven't really met anyone else of that branch and I'm a bit surprised they have enough scratch to throw commercials out there. Their website looks like it hasn't been updated since 1996 and has a main email as an aol.com account.
I'm not hating on them for that at all, I just think it's a poor choice for them to make a public outreach campaign before they're ready. Then again, few people over 60 would see anything wrong with a homepage that looks like it dates from the mid-Clinton administration.
