The edit:
Henschel did not step down "from his leadership position in 2000". He was a governing body member up until his death in 2003. A slight error but one that implies much more given the subject matter.
Henschel resigned his position as the president of Watch Tower Pennsylvania NOT as a leader of the Jehovah's Witnesses - his so-called "leadership position".
Having accurate grass roots entry level information on members of the governing body is important in litigation for law firms, and for government departments undertaking a desktop study of such a person.
Any Wikipedians out there capable of correcting this statement.
