I don't think they'd change their name but if they did they'd probably change it to Christian.

I don't want to spoil the party, but I don't think a name change is required. That is the only thing they have going for them. If I took over, 1914 would be dropped, Armageddon would go, everyone has the chance of heaven, but the marketing differentiation would be "we are the only true (monotheistic) religion that worships the true God, Jehovah." -

"Jehovah's Worshippers" would allow them to keep the branding and site the same. It also works for when they pivot away from door-knocking towards property flipping. It plays up the in-group / social club aspect that is important to current JW's. They don't care for doctrine, they just want to keep up with the others on their social media posts. -

Many people are a little shocked when told Jehovah's witnesses are actually Christians. The bible says in the book of Acts in the first century...by divine providence, they became known as ' Christians'. 'Christian witnesses of Yahweh' would be a little bit more appropriate and accurate. Also either removal of or making the writing smaller of what pretty much looks like a business sign ie JW.ORG from outside of kingdom halls would also make them look more like a place of worship to God. -

I don't know Paul, I get your point about it's value as a USP but the name 'Jehovah's Witnesses' is a tainted brand. At worst it's associated with a cult that let's children die, at best it's the butt of a comedians joke.
I don't know if the name will change or not, probably inertia and nostalgia will keep it in place, but the way this bunch are behaving nothing would surprise me.

Maybe. They could change their name to "Christian Witnesses of Truth," for marketing purposes. I do think though they should retain Jehovah as their God, and stick to their version of Arianism. The Trinity is a complex concept, and with the dumbed-down magazines, their target audience like the simplicity of Jehovah as God and Jesus as the son.
