in my reading of coc years ago seems to be that peter gregerson was the first member of that family to come across the wt swindle.

as i understood some of his children as well as his wife followed him and withdrawn their support to the wt movement.

however, the book mention that many of his brother were elders at the time and as far as i understood loyals to the wt.. what is the current situation with those loyal menbers at that time?

in 1990 john wischuck one of the heavyweights (member of the factory committee)at brooklyn hq committed suicide jumping from the window of his room down to the ground) this episode passed unnoticed for most of the jw all around the world.

a few weeks later that year, max larson was visiting the branch in spain and he didnt mention anything at all of the dead.

only good news and how jw were succeeding and all that kind of rubbish.
