Terry started a thread on Schulz and de Vienne's book, Separate Identity, which you should read. They've posted a partial, rough draft of their current work here:

It is by far the best book on the early Watch Tower ever written.

My thanx also, Old Goat.
Shulz and De Viennes, et al have just the right historical attitude that is needed as the bubbub of outrage obscures reality.
It will be very useful to read their final conclusions.
I really appreciate their description of these early believer's connections " affiliation was fluid and loose."
I doubt that most would have followed today's GB through thick and thin.
