Outlaw is on Pacific time, still a bit early there.
Give him time to chase the bears away from his breakfast and I'm sure he'll be here.
How come "Johhny the Bethelite" has not been exposed?

While you all dial in, I think I will meditate more on potential reasons why Rick hasn't owned up yet...

I was surprised Rick posted a thread the other day that was worth reading...but as always, it seems he pulled a post and run. Very rarely does he return to his threads to post something else in response to questions or what have you...unless his character is under attack.
He can't answer questions about JTB because JTB isn't a real person, he's a character that is being portrayed. Unless a JW who is not a believer is trying to explain to someone who has never been involved with the JW's exactly what disfellowshipping is, they would NOT use the term "excommunicated". Any JW (ex or otherwise) knows there's a HUGE difference between being excommunicated by the Catholic church and being disfellowshipped by the JW's. There's no way to confuse the two, ESPECIALLY when the person speaking is a Bethelite!! My opinion? NO WAY IN HELL Johnny is a real Bethelite. No way in hell there's a "Reform Movement". No way in hell "someone's trying to injure him" or "do things to make him stay at Bethel" or "discredit him if he leaves".
Conspiracy theories. Sometimes they prove true. Sometimes, they're the product of a bored, deranged, and vindictive mind. I think Rick just wants the Watchtower to fall so badly that he makes shit up because he thinks if people believe this, they'll get out or never get in. And I think that underneath it all, he's just another religious leader trying to scrape off the cream that rises to the top of the bucket and keep it for himself. He wants his own followers...and who better than people who are used to being manipulated and controlled? As many have said...he is the epitome of the Watchtower's definition of Apostate.

@cedars: Are you aware of "calling out" that occured 8 months ago on this site between Rick and PublishingCult?

Nope, can you give me a quick crash course? I suspect there's a whole load of stuff about this site's past that I'm oblivious to.

To be kicked off of JWN for self-promoting a three-ring circus of lies is not the same as being disfellowshipped or shunned. If I were always coming on here and promoting my book (by the way, it's free to read at http://www.watchtowerdocuments.com/stories/alan-miller.html) or my snake oil or my website, that would be wrong. It is a violation of known rules. Rick, if you want to promote fake Johnny on here, there are paid advertisements. Work it out with Simon or his people.
Otherwise, stop with the lies. You didn't even stand behind fake Johnny in your last promotion. You said "the host claims to be..." You know it's a lie and are prepared to ditch the guy and act as surprised as can be that you were duped. Then you will have a call-in show about "Johnny Exposed."
