the whole elder body teaching and governing body teaching was based on research by a well known "apostate" raymond franz.
franz wrote the aid book articles which gave rise to the changes made in the congregations and bethel.
knorr was deposed by the johnny come lately new governing body members who in turn gave birth to those in charge today.
Knorr was what he was. Raymond Franz knew he was not one to throw him out for merely disagreeing.
As for his new boy Bethel talks it is true that many "boys" who went to Bethel needed parenting. If their parents did not do it, Knorr would do it for them. He was not running a nursery.

In his book, Crisis of Conscience, Raymond Franz wrote that if Knorr had still been alive he doubted he would have been treated as he was.
I leave it to others to judge what that means.
when i say jw hero i mean a jw who courageously did what was right despite the indoctrination and peer pressure to conform to cultishness.
i have an unknown jw hero that i've never met but only heard of from an experience relayed to me about an incident at a jw funeral.. i was told that at a jw funeral internment, a non-jw put a wreath in the shape of a cross on the grave.
shortly thereafter a jw elder came up and removed the wreath.
I'm still in and know quite a few brothers who have either bent or broke a rule in order to help someone in the congregation. They are in the minority but are there nonetheless. Speaking casually to a disfellowshipped brother or sister at the KH is a heroic act, imo. Displaying mercy even when the Watchtower is against it is also a heroic act. Saying nothing when a parent is secretly associating with a disfellowshipped son who does not live at home is loving and, in the JW religion, also heroic.

Truth is in Christ. All we do is repeat what he taught.
There is no light outside of Christ's teachings. None.

Elders who put brotherly love before organizational rule keeping are all heroes in my book. I've known plenty.

who/what do you think jesus was?
and how did you arrive at that conclusion?
Jesus is God's Son.
He is beautiful as the sun and just as dangerous toward those who hypocritically claim to represent him.
i noticed that anthony morris iii just said on the broadcast: "while we cannot control everything that an individual might say, it is clear that over the decades protecting children from abuse is a top priority for this organization.".
that, in my opinion, is a direct response to the richard ashe "spiritual protection not physical protection" deposition.. here's a video putting the two statements side by side.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgevpuyn7gy.

Thus Splane and Morris owe their positions to a famous "apostate". Can't think of a better reason to rethink the whole sad governing body system.
From a JW point of view, that is.

For me there is no greater work than to help my brothers get free from false apostles.
