  Here could be Pastor Russell's list if he were alive today. See Zion's Watch Tower April 1887, page 1.

  "But our message is specially to the saints, those already consecrated to God, the truthseekers, the "children of the light," the "little flock," the "Royal Priesthood," the "holy people," the "peculiar people," "the church of the firstborn" ones, "whose names are written in heaven," the "living members of the one body,..." "the Bride, the Lamb's wife" and "joint-heirs"..."new creatures," "partakers of the divine nature."

  In layman's terms Bible Students, Millennial Dawners, and Russellites.

  Actually Ken, those are ALL scriptural names .

  R.R.,

  Wonder why Russell chose Associated Bible Students instead of sticking to the Biblical names? I remember reading in the early Watch Towers where he liked in particular the name the church of the firsborn. But none of those Biblical names stuck. No, the names that have been handed down to us are Bible Students, Millennial Dawners and Russellites. Isn't that odd?

  Well, "Millennial Dawners" and "Russellites" were derogatory terms, and not names the SOciety used to describe themselves.
