garrybus interviewed on local regional Australian radio.

The interview was live 10-11 pm my time (CST) Thursday evening April 2 2009.
I believe the AU time was 2:00 PM Friday April 3 in Queensland, Australia.

The topic was: The leader of a political party in Queensland, Australia is a former Jehovah's Witness. I believe the program was trying to get some background insight into the political leader.

The ABC interviewer told me who the politician is but I didn't know the name. His sister is a famous comedian in AU. Both were raised as Witnesses and both left the group when they were about 19 years old.

John Lambroek (sp?) - parents were Gilead Grads. I remember him as the kid who went to uni and left the truth - an example to his peers
Mother was a friend (?) of Knorr's somehow, maybe through her mother...not sure. Tended to be a bit outspoken. Parents no longer associated.

So do I understand that the parents (Gilead Grads) as well as the two adult children left the Watch Tower group?

Yes they did

The Bus, (as I like to call him). knows and has spent time with my JW dad. I still can't get over that!
Just found out about this like 2 weeks ago and we have both been posters on this forum for around the same time.
