@cedars:
About 8/9 months ago when JTB first appeared on the six screens calls, everyone called BS - for various reasons. On the first call, everyone was just curious about this person claiming to be in a closet in Bethel. But as his story progressed, he started to claim that he was part of a secret IT group within Bethel commissioned by the GB itself to spy on members of the Bethel family, and possibly elders. Internet sites, like this one and six screens was monitored very carefully. He even claimed there was a way to harvest IP addresses from sites like JWN and trace them back to a person's name, and that they were doing this actively in this secret IT group. This special Bethel IT team was skilled, and had the ability to hack into Facebook, and did so.
For those of us with a little technical knowledge, the BS was growing thick. Everyone started to listen to the taped recordings and one inconsistency after another came out. Rick claimed JTB's voice was being modified and it wasn't his real voice. But his voice never changed, even from the first call when Rick didn't know he was calling in. Then Rick said he actually had contact with JTB before the call. But then went back on that too. Rick claims to have been provided with a Bethel ID from Johnny, but would not post it because it would show his face/name. Other posters quickly googled "bethel ID card" and found online images and were posting their own Bethel ID card - NO PROOF EVER CAME OUT.
So, one user - PublishingCult - decided to call out JTB on air. He would join the call and offer proof that he was a fraud. He had rock solid proof. PublishingCult didn't let anyone know what the proof was, but he gave JTB a chance to come clean first. Finally the day of the call came and JTB was a no-show.
So PublishingCult revealed the evidence - which was: He called the WT headquarters and turned him in. He did this 12 days before the conference call. He talked to the IT department head, and recorded the calls. He posted them to JWN. It was interesting to note that the IT department head mentioned other people calling in and turning JTB in too. So it was really no secret. As even this thread's OP notes, a 10 year old could figure out who JTB is...
Yet, JTB lives on.... utter BS.
