I think the one thing bible students and Jehovah’s witnesses can agree on is that the 144000 is a government. its the interpretation of wicked slave is what leaders of the watchtower of today they disagree on. so bible students and Jehovah’s witnesses have separated them selves from each other on.
Yes, in Rev 7 we have 144,000 sealed out of the twelve tribes of (spiritual) Israel who are with the lamb on Mount Zion (compare Heb 12:22). In Rev 14, the 144,000 are described as redeemed, virgins, first fruits and are before the throne of God. These virgins become the bride of Christ (Rev 21:2), the heavenly government on the future Paradise Earth. Rutherford created a new organization called the Jehovah’s Witnesses and changed the doctrines. The Bible Students separated and continued with the original belief as independent congregations with no central control from a governing body and were then called evil slaves by the new organization. Do you have any further thoughts to share or questions? Feel fee to share.
