Ros & all others:

You know the expression, if you give a man enough rope he will eventually hang himself?

Well.. I knew the more he kept talking... He makes the comment that the Society is heavily invested in the Stock Market. This simply isn't true. They have long and short term T-Bills, Gic's etc but it has actually been the Society's policy that the stock market is a form of gambling and it would be an inapprorpiate use of the brothers money (Numerous letters from Brooklyn Treasurer's Office to all Branch Accounting/ Treasury Depart. have indicated this stance). To gamble iwth donated funds would not be acting as faithful stewards!

Yet one more nail. Comments on the Vow of Poverty seems off as well - "Gifts above a certain value"?? According to the wording of the Vow gifts are acceptable. No mention of value is ever made. One can take on extra work as well as long as it is only for basic living expenses. No explanation of what those expense are were ever detailed to my knowledge. He was right though that the "Vow" was strictly instituted as a tax consideration.

I am at a loss as to why someone would want to perpetrate such a deceitful impersonation.

J - waiting for this person to come clean and take his/her hits
