Just a little history and perhaps why 3rd Witness is here NOW:

Robert King was on the wave of tremendous success right before he published
his book. His essay's ceartainly have a ring of truth to most JW's. Why?
Because Robert King kept proclaiming the Jehovah's Witnesses are indeed the
true religion (they only are in need corrective discipline). This is
something you will never find on apostate websites. But then trouble
started brewing on his DB (paradise cafe). The main culprit was the one
known as ThirdWitness (3W). At that time 3W was a big defender of both the
WT and RK (Robert King). But when 3W sided with the WT on the child abuse
policy, RK declared there will be no more discussion about the JW child abuse policy.
Afterwards 3W also began investigating the NGO issue, which he had taken for
granted as being true. He then began disputing some of the claims RK made
about the WT's involvment with the UN and also providing proof. It was at
this point that 3W, a big supporter of RK, was kicked off the DB for being
what was perceived as contentious(It was really 3W that was on the receiving
end of the name calling and contempt).
It was at this point that 3W discovered a book called "The Report". He
noticed an uncanny similarity between this book and the stated views of RK.
This prompted further research. Not only did 3W discover similer views, but
also identical words. Indeed whole paragraphs were repeated with only a few
lined swapped here and there. There was without a doubt clear evidence of
plagiarism. When 3W had enough evedince and was sure of his findings, he
published on the JehovahsJudgment.com domain (owned by Tim Kline). It was
at this time that RK / TK shut this site down and took it away from Al (a whole
other story). Immediately there was an edict that banned all links on the
DB, thus links to 3W's work was removed. However the excuse given was to
protect members of the DB from being exposed to apostate websites (Links to
these websites was a common occurance before 3W's links were posted).
Finally RK had to address 3W's accusations. The long and short of it was
that RK claimed he knew little about Donald Blumly (Burney) nor his book
"The Report". RK stated:
"the recently released book Jehovah Himself Has Become King offered a
unique interpretation of Revelation from chapter seven to chapter eleven.
Does The Report delve into that portion of Revelation? Again, I doubt it".
A very curious response from someone who is not familier with the book.
Since Al had allowed 3W to post his essay's and views on his DB, Al was
viewed as an enemy to TK and RK. This is when I wrote the parody "2005 much
peace and love convention" which gave a brief history of what was happening
at the paradise cafe. Not to be outdone, TK decided to write his own parody
"The three stooges". (He denied writing this until recently because at the
time he was telling everyone he was taking the high road and would not
engage in such juvenile behavior). Some time after, TK registered at H2O
where 3W also posted quite often. For some reason TK thought he could out
debate 3W. In every instance 3W tore him to shreds. Really an
embarrassment, so much so that I felt sorry for TK. But he asked for it.
His only defense of RK and the plagiarism incident is that 3W should not
have ever purchased "The Report", an established as apostate propaganda.
Perhaps this is true, but neither should 3W have read RK's essays as
well since they mirror each other. Further 3W would admit he should not
have ever supported RK for several months in the first place.
The truth is 3W and Al were big time supporters of RK. However, being the
true boreans that they are, they decided to look critically at both RK and
the WT. They discovered that RK's views were ripe with half truths and out
right contradictions of bible prophecy.
So where did RK and TK mess up? They should never have taken on 3W. He is
way out of their league. Not that is debating skills are far superior
(which they are), but it is mainly because he speaks the truth.

Happy trails!
