What will it take for him to prove it to you, without giving enough information for any Brother Tom, Elder Dick or Sister Sherry to claim they are yet another GB member (using the information divulged to "prove" their case). Once the info proving one's identity is divulged, and should a second GB member join the first in reform (without wanting to reveal his identity), then the second GB member has no method of proving his authenticity. You see the problem, Cyg? Sometimes you have to learn to trust. Have you heard Bette Middler's "The Rose"? Sometimes you have to go out on a limb if you want to discover truths that the general masses play it too safe to uncover. The most we have to lose is egg on our faces. We might go through several boxes of handi-wipes before we find the truth, or truth maybe standing on our doorstep right now. You have to open yourself to humiliation in these circumstances because truth will not be handed you on a silver platter.
