  So disfellowshipped = removed = shunned. The problem is shunning what ever name it goes under.

  Who is this Guy?

  the ra is underway and there is a common thread through the first day.

  they have a "presenter" who comes across as an educated historian handling early bible fragments and translations as if he knows what he's doing.

  the impression given is that he is an unassailable font of all knowledge, with his rich scottish accent he prints himself as across as professor gravitas.. i find this disturbing, we have no idea who he is or what if any his qualifications are to speak such with authority.

  Yep AF, I think that's him, Andy Schofield. He seems to be a very competent presenter apparently an ex CS.

  My concern is that the skill and polish of the man and his confident handling of the early manuscripts lend him an educated aura that I don't believe he deserves. The material he presented, I would say, has been around since the "Scripture Inspired" book in 1963. It is now elevated to a pseudo documentary apparently presented by an historian with a deep well of learning and research behind him. I don't think he has any right to respect, he assumes the gloss of hard earned qualifications without doing the hard miles.More fraud.

  I admit that I am making assumptions in saying this. Maybe someone knows him and can throw light on the subject.

  I remember how huge swathes of the book were based on a work called 'The Two Babylons" by The Rev Alexander Hislop. This was a wild-eyed rant linking everything about the Catholic with lots of juicy paganism. The chief baddy as I remember was Nimrod and phalic symbols abounded. Freddy France of course lapped it up. He was absolutely hooked on the Rev Alexander. we bathed in the shock horror of all the connections.

  It was only in the last third of the door stop book that it started on the crazy interpretation of Revelation. What a ball ache.

  Just another thought, I believe that a lot of the superstitious connections are still current light. Basically if it's nice it's pagan.All based on the good Rev and his rantings.

  Probably on the same scale of reliability as the insights of the old guys in upstate NY.
