A number of splinter groups have separated from Jehovah's Witnesses since 1931 after members broke affiliation with the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. Earlier group defections from the Watch Tower Society, most of them between 1917 and 1931, had resulted in a number of religious movements forming under the umbrella term of the Bible Student movement. After 1931, some isolated groups of Jehovah's Witnesses came to distrust instruction from outside the local area. Some preferred their autonomy even after persecution and isolation abated, such as in Germany following World War II, in Romania following Nicolae Ceauşescu, and in the former USSR following the Cold War. Beginning in the 1990s, other former Witnesses used Internet technologies to group themselves around shared ideas such as numerical analysis of the Bible, or a wish to embrace some but not all Jehovah's Witness beliefs and practices. ==Britain== Jesse Hemery was appointed overseer of the Watch Tower Society's British Isles branch office by Russell in 1901,〔''1973 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses'', page 92, "The British Isles"〕 holding that post until 1946.〔Willis, Tony. ''A People for His Name: A History of Jehovah's Witnesses and an Evaluation.'' 2007. p. 268.〕 Hemery founded the Goshen Fellowship after he was disfellowshipped by N. H. Knorr in 1951.〔
