Answer
In 1931, Rutherford introduced the term "Jehovah's Witnesses" as a name for his followers. He believed that this term was more accurate than "Bible Students," which had been the name used by the movement since the 1870s. Rutherford believed that the term "Jehovah's Witnesses" reflected the fact that the members of the movement were witnesses to Jehovah, the God of the Bible.
