Au contraire, Monsieur Moutarde! What proof do you have that JTB is a scam? You may be incredulous, but that is not proof of a scam. Rick Fearon is no scammer, and much of what JTB spoke of has come to pass in "Wacky Watchy World."
Seeing how right now we are near the "ides of March" I'll appropriate bits of Mark Antony's speech:
"The noble Mustard Man
Hath told you Fearon was a scammer:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Fearon answer’d it.
Here come I to speak in Fearon's defense:
He is my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Mustard Man says he was ambitious;
And Mustard is an honourable man.
Fearon hath freed many Watchtower captives
Whose suff'rings would many valleys fill:
Does this in Fearon seem a hustle?
When those poor have cried, Fearon hath wept:
Flimflams should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Mustard says he ran a racket;
And Mustard is an honourable man.
So many have seen that on the Memorial
He braved the ire of JW Elders,
Again and again: was this a con?
Yet Mustard says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Mustard spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
Many loved him once, and love him still:
What cause withholds you then, to defend him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason."
