Have you ever thought that "Jehovahs Witnesses" is a difficult name to pronounce for a religion? If I had a dollar for every time in my life someone said, "Oh, you're a Jehovah, aren't you?" Yes. That's right. I'm a Jehovah. Not THE Jehovah, but A Jehovah. Damn. "Jehovah's Witness." It just doesn't flow well, does it? Joe Rutherford was a good salesman, but a nifty namer of sects he was not.

"Bible students" sound awfully generic

Well, perhaps "Charlie Russel's Flying Bible Students" would have been better.

That's why I would say I'm a Christian.

cults always have difficult names. Everyone who isnt part of the group tries to shorten the name down:
Jehovah's Witnesses definately need an easier name to call them, but its not so bad, when you realize other cults have same problem:
Internatinal Society for Krishna Consciuosness: The Hare Krishnas
Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of Christian Spirit: The Moonies
Students of the Seven Seals: Branch Davidians
Church of Scientology: Idiots
Order of the Solar Temple : Dead Idiots
The People's Temple: Very Dead Idiots

Gita: You forgot the tiring, "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" Whew! That's a mouthful!!

I never understood that one. It seems to imply there may be more then one Jesus Christ.. If there is a Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, there may be a Jesus Christ of Home Depot, Jesus Christ of the Rest Stop on Exit 112, and so forth.

It could be worse. Rutherford could have decided on Yahweh's Yackers.
