  Vin Toole and G. Jackson were caught lying under oath at the A.R.C.

  What's the A.R.C. and what are the related issues? (Who's Vin Toole?)

  Thanks! Should I interpret the first guy as savvy (to be allowed in the GB) but condescending?

  Is there a link to a video of the GB? I'd like to see that. It sounds weird.

  Ha!

  Here's another one I ran into today. Did you have this one yet?

  Rama Singh, Professor of Biology at McMaster University, Ontario, Canada,
  was quoted out of context in the Jan., 2015 "Awake!" to leave the false impres-
  sion that he supported the JWs leaders' stance to doubt evolution.

  "Rama Singh, professor of biology at Canada'a McMaster University, says:
  'The opposition to evolution goes beyond religious fundamentalism and in-
  cludes a great many people from educated sections of the population.'"

  So he wrote to the editor of "Awake!" asking for an apology.

  "So I am asking you first to remove the misquotation from your article
  immediately and second print an unconditional apology for what I consider
  is a deliberate damaging action on your part to my reputation."

  Subsequent Internet and .pdf versions removed the quote but the professor
  didn't recieve an apology.

  - Maybe it's because I'm not up on things but I thought the GB made the rules
  and the followers didn't have any say in it before. Whats the big difference
  now?

  - The Internet thing doesn't surprise me. It just had to take them a bit to
  think of a way to make money from it like literature.

  - Are they allowing flags without calling it idolatry now?

  - Whats the money grubbing? I thought the followers were kept too low on
  money to grub for it.

  "True" is my middle name. It was my mother's maiden name, Margaret Ann True, and I'm named after her

  brother Russell Glen True (who died in the Battle of the Bulge).
