The bottom line of this seemingly picayune thread is that Fernets cannot be trusted by Bethelites who believe it possible to solder the Bible Students and JWs. It may be possible but first a house cleaning must occur.
Fernets is a false brother.
The Watchtower is known as being Dry.
The Bible Students are known as Heinz (57 varieties).
There are brothers in the Watchtower and among the Bible Students who would hope to keep the best of both- Soldering them together.
They should know who can be trusted.
