When I checked the WTLIB cd-rom, i noticed that Henry Grew and Georg Storrs were mentioned only 5 times each from 1950 - 1999. Then at once from 2000 onwards, both get more than 50 hits. Why is it that they are now portrayed together with Russel as the Founding Fathers of the Faith? Is Russel so much of a problem to the GB 2.0 that they have to put 2 others in front of him to deviate the attention? or what else is behind this?

Pedigree. Just like the Society likes to lay claim to Russell being a founder of the JWs (falsely).
In desperate effort in filling in the missing chains of the WTS authenticity

(the GB to Charls T Russel)-George Storrs(1796-1879)-Henry Grew(1781-1862)-William Tyndale(1494-1536)-John Wycliffe(1330-1384)- Pierre(or Peter) Waldo(12th Century)-Peter of Bruys, Henry of Lausanne (early to mid 12th Century)-Archadeacon Berengarius of Tours, France(11th Century)-Archbishop Agobard of Lyons, France(779-840)-the 1st Century Anointed Christians -Christ
It's interesting the WTS comparing Storrs and Grew(False prophets who predicted 1779, 1874, 1879, 1914) with Tyndale, Wycliffe, Waldo,...(martyrs) and Christ, only mediator between men & God. Yet, JWs reject Christ' mediatorship and look up the GB for their salvation.
Poor Rank & File have to subject themselves to such schemes!
Because Henry Grew and George Storrs were FREEMASONS
It's just so much name-dropping. They prop those names up like it somehow makes what they say about pre-1914 stuff sound more legit. And when they name-drop, it's best to use obscure dead people. It's not like anybody is going to try to question what they really believed.
