    Since you would like to know so bad, why don't you just call him. Are you suspicious of using Google too? or would you just like to talk jibberish and bouces around in doubt. It's not that hard to find
    anyone nowadays fare fellows.

    OK, now I really fail to get it...if he is a mortgage banker since 2001, was he being a mortgage banker while he was at Bethel (or the Farm)?

    OR - Do we take this to mean he left the Farm back in 2001, ran a mortgage banking business since then, and just got DFd a "couple of weeks ago"?

    One other little point - unless this was an incredibly dumb oversight on their part, I have trouble believing that any committee would send somebody just a blank sheet of paper in a certified letter about a committee meeting. What would that accomplish? After all, these people are about as legalistic as the SCOTUS.

    Also, was this supposed to be a Bethel committee? Why Bethel - did he leave Bethel in 2001 and never associate with any local congregation?

    Many questions seem to come up over this story.

    That's just what he says. He could have edited it to say 2001 regardles of where he was... I don't know maybe this was his secret g-job side thing.

    So, who's gonna call this guy up?

    Pretty odd post...make a sensational claim with no evidence whatsoever, then turn all pissy when people ask for a smidgen of evidence.

    I hope I'm wrong, but I have a hunch we're being played.

    Bethelite Elder,

    Melchester Smith? Was he a Walkill Watchman guy about 5 years ago?

    Sounds likely, Billy. Did you know him? His face seems a tad familiar to me, but not his name.

    I don't think so... the name checks out, this guy certainly could have been a Bethelite, based on 1) Billy's recolection of his full name, 2) his placement at Wallkill, and 3) my search showing he's now located in Middletown (the closest large town to the Farm).

    I also had enough of an odd feeling to go back at look at some post history.

    Actually the strange post gave a real name that checked out.

    The poster is familiar with JW terms, but not all fluent in JW speak.

    Half the Elders in those congregations are from Bethel so the confusion of WT doing stuff could make sense.

    Waiting for a WT Farms person to come on and verify more of the story.
