Dear M733,
You are not calling my bluff, you are attempting to salvage yourself with grand sounding language to and tactics to impugn my motives. I do not impugn your motives. I cannot judge what your motives are. If you were really interested in truth then this could have been dealt with as I requested through Ros weeks ago.
Not one message has been sent to me through Ros indicating any response from you or Ray. Do you tell me that is otherwise? I never ignored the central issue as you claim in order to settle this privately.
On the other hand, your letter on this forum totally ignores my last post through Ros, indicating that this was being worked out privately through her. She had clear permission to contact whomever she wished, inlcuding Ray.
As for my Open Letter, it was written for strategic purposes, knowing that it likly would not reach Brooklyn. If you don't like that, then tear it up and throw it out. I ask everyone then to ignore it if that is what makes you happy.
You and Ray have had the opprotunity to work privately through Ros as I specified. By waving your new post and any material from Ray continues to show that you do not respect the matter of confidentiality as you so claim. You speak of a private means, then you make the matter public. That level of contradiction is so completely obvious it is revolting.
I can specifically respond to everything I have said, including those items I have avoided and explain all inconsistencies which were done deblibertly to continue to maintain a public cloud regarding my credibility. I stated very clearly that I never intended to establish my credibility. I finally agreed to that privately only, and I mean what I say.
I did go back as stated in my last post and correctly provide answers to Ros on a few more questions. But since I received no communication from you or Ray through her for a week, I concluded that there is nothing more I can do.
I am not even going to read or respond to the comments you just posted from Ray in this forum as it totally violates what I asked of you and he. I have stated the conditions by which I will respond to any comments on this issue. Unless and
until my conditions are met, there is no further purpose in continuing this.
If you and Ray would honor my request for privacy, I then could easily show why I have done everything in the manner I have.
I am sorry if you do not like the fact that I have not used a public pay phone to contact Ray. There are good reasons for all of my actions, and I am under no obligation to report to Ray based upon anyone's idea of what they believe I should do.
Because it appears that many readers of this forum have an undying level of respect for Ray, then anything I say in rebuttal will not be given any weight.
It is not unlike what many have expressed when facing a judicial committee. The elders position and weight of authority automatically creates a major shadow over the accused. The accused is guilty until proven innocent. Even then the accused may not be afforded any dignity and become disfellowshipped anyway. You appear to be engaging in the very thing with me that you so condemn of the Watch Tower Society. And those that witness this exchange are left to believe those with the weight of their extended presense.
So when will you honor my request and work through Ros? It was presented weeks ago, and that invitation was extended after Ros returned. Not one word was presented back to me until now in the public forum. Where is the interest truth in that? Why do you insist on continuing to ignore in your post my repreated request to agree to this in private? Why did you not contact Ros? Why did you absolutely and completely ignore what I said in my last post about doing that?
Sincerely, ---
