I remember hearing about the case, but lived on the other side of the lake (if you're from that part of the country, you'll know what lake I'm talking about).
I sent you a PM.
i just came across a thread from 2002, (i'll link it here in the next post), about congregations in upstate ny, many that were with a vt circuit i was in for many years.
in there i wrote the following about a infamous pedophile case involving an elder, don nicholson.
here was part of one of my posts on that thread.

I DO remember being told I never would have to plan for retirement, and that it was something "worldly" people worry about. That was in the 1960's, when I was in high school. After all, it was a "fact" I would NEVER grow old in this system of things - so why plan for retirement? It simply wasn't going to happen! Go back and read the May 8, 1969 Awake! (it's not on the WTCD) and it becomes apparent the Society "knew" what they were talking about.
That was nearly four decades ago...
from the new york congregations part of vermont circuit #1?
granville or whitehall ny?
did or do you know degroffs?
I remember all of them, as well... I remember when Vermont was a part of NY Circuit 17 (in the 1960's). I really liked Ted Degraff, and the Rehms were as you describe: very different. Jake Rehm was killed either in the late 60's or early 70's. Granville and Whitehall were definitely "rural" congregations! Seeing your post brings back lots of memories.
