20 years ago there was some change at the jw bastion. Some windows were opened when the internet became availble.
Jolene Chu and James Pelechia did historical research for Watchtower and published about it.
But, since a decade never heard of them.
Do you know what happened???
The German wt researcher at that time, Johannes Greubel, left the believe. He wrote about this at his personal website.

Nobody??
Carolyn Wah too.
Yeah Wroebel wrote some really interesting stuff on his website and took it down again. I wish I had saved it!
Did you know Pellechia wrote a history of JWs in Ohio? A google search will bring it up.
And JWs have recently collaborated with outside scholars on a multi volume history of JWs in Europe edited by Gerhard Besier.
According to his blog, Johannes Wrobel uses the pseudonym Johannes Castellio. I wonder if this is related to Sebastian Castellio, a 16th century humanist who criticised Calvin and wrote a book "Concerning Heretics", urging tolerance for opposing views.
Castellio wrote, regarding Servetus :"To burn a man alive does not defend a doctrine, but slays a man".
Earnest,
Wreubel (a real professional) writes that that it stands for that Cadtello.
Wreubel writes also why he ended his relation with Watchtower 😎
GB member Jaracks played a nasty role also, limiting the role of the historical archive.
