Since NonCoinCollector above brought up Randy Watters and I was researching the (young) internet for WT info about questions I had at about the same time (1999!) I thought it good to mention some REAL true activists and people who have helped so many more than Hemorrhoid Evans.
1. Raymond and Cythia Franz
2. James Penton, truly the most academic and scholarly history (with cited references!) that I have ever read.
3. Carl Olaf Johnson
4. Leonard & Marjorie Chritien (authors and hosts of the 1986 documentary film, "Witnesses of Jehovah.")
5. Peter Gregerson (and parts of his family whom left with him)
6. Don Cameron
7. Randy Watters
8. Barbara Anderson and her husband
9. Bill Bowen (who leads up Silent Lambs)
10. Mark O'Donnell, newest legal activist behind the scenes, much like Barbara Anderson
