  For the first time in the history of the world on July 26, 1931 at a convention in Columbus Ohio, Joseph Rutherford made the announcement that true worshipers of God need to be called Jehovah's Witness. Up till that time no one was aware of or used that special, unique and holy name to identify themselves.

  What an amazing revelation Jehovah gave this faithful and discreet slave !! The Judge now newly crowned holy heavenly king and priest urges all mere mortal humans on earth to drink up. Why? Because in heaven there is no beer that's why we drink it down here.

  Poor judge no more drinky drinky.

  1950 “The anointed footstep followers of Christ Jesus now remaining on earth, and who are Scripturally known as Jehovah’s witnesses

  1950 Only today the anointed witnesses and their good-will companions have no jackals to carry the firebrands of truth.

  1950 “He is also preparing our good-will companions, the great crowd of “other sheep”, for the visible society of the new earth.

  1952 “Under the term “slave” Christ’s anointed followers of today are viewed as a class, a composite slave or composite servant. God himself so interprets matters: “Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen.” (Isa. 43:10, AS) “

  1960 “At this time all Christian witnesses of Jehovah and their good-will companions are looking forward to the Peace-pursuing District Assemblies that are to be held throughout the world during 1960.” (last mention of this term “good will companions”)

  Per the WT, this means the WT meant that at one point non-anointed (goodwill companions were the great crowd) but not Jehovah's witnesses.

  The focus of the whole bible is Jesus.....thats why we are supposed to be christians. The mideaval name of Jehovah was created by some lonely monk.
