Their fundamental beliefs are much like Jehovah's Witnesses sans the paranoia, authoritarianism, stifling rules, and end-times enthusiasm. You don't even have to become a Bible student to be saved, you could be an idol worshipping heathen and still get resurrected in the milenium. If I still believed in the divine inspiration of the scriptures, I would be a Bible student. Alas, I know too much...
As a JW I was taught that the JWs are the Bible Students, having just changed their names for some odd reason. It was only later that I discovered that the JWs are the true apostates, Rutherford having changed the name to JW after the original Bible Students objected to his coup de tat of the WTBTS (which was really just a publishing company at the time) as well as his very wacky, paranoid, anti-semetic ideas. Rutherford knew that his new religion was radically different from Russell's teaching, so he actually did the honest thing and gave it a new name.
