Was that around the 1975 debacle? I have checked in the WOL and did find a mention in the YB or elsewhere.
Was There An Occasion Where An Entire Congregation Broke Away?

careful, the reference for Taiwan may be the 1972 Yearbook, under the heading Cleansing and Rebuilding

This whole organization kinda broke away from the IBSA, so there's that.

Thanks SBF for that ref. I read it and although it mentions the problems in Taiwan, I remember reading something else that had much more honest detail. i wonder if that source has to be found in print form since it has been sanitized in the electronic version (?). Anyway, somewhere I read statistics that showed how the majority of Taiwanese Witnesses went off after some local bro who disagreed with Knorr and his reps, and that it took years for the org to recover in Taiwan. Perhaps it was in the stats on average publishers there in individual yearbooks, and/or in the ybs following the schism when each country had a small blurb on it.

I have every Yearbook back to 1936. I will have a further look later. As you say, the earlier Yearbooks had a different, “snippet” format.

"Many years ago in the 60's, there was one particular guy who pretty much led his own cult. Half the Congregation eent off the rails and what was left was merged with Titchfield/ Fareham congregation."
Astonishing! I was actually attending the newly-formed Tichfield congregation back in 1968. It met in rooms above The Queen's Head pub. My dad was PO. He told me that there had been some problems with one of the congos with which we'd became amalgamated but I didn't make the connection with Bishops Waltham until just now.

In the late 70's through early 80's several congregations in the greater Atlanta, GA area were disbanded. Jay Woods was sent in to help "clean up" that mess. Read: To help stop the free flow of proprietary confidential Corporate information through threats of ostracism. Last I knew, he and Nancy still lived in the Forest Park area.

Yes in fact there is a book about the story of how a hundred or so JWs in Alberta left the organisation along with Penton. I don’t think they manged to take a Kingdom Hall with them.
