The reports of my departure have been greatly exaggerated.

So then failing to have a good argument against my research claims, you question my integrity? This is a common logic error called "Argumentum ad Hominem" In this error a proposition is rejected not because of its validity or soundness, but because of the reputation of the one making the proposition. So even if your attacks on my reputation were right (and they are not) your logic is in error because this has no bearing in the validity or soundness of my propositions.

Most already know that I stay home to take care of my disabled wife who cannot left at home alone for long. There you go.... when people read stuff on the internet, why do I end up with any burden of proof to prove myself innocent? What is that all about... and must I spend much of my time for the rest of my life defending myself to every new person I run into?

No this is the same "cult" I started in 1996 :-).... But seriously I have tried to keep two things separate: 1. My academic research on Hebrew and Aramaic NT Origins 2. My religious doctrine of Nazarene Judaism Why is it that when I try to discuss the first, people try to discredit me because of the second.... isn't that being a religious bigot ?

I don't want to get into my doctrine here but it is covered in detail in my free PDF book The Apostasy and Restoration at http://www.lulu.com/nazarene

Again not true. Although the event you describe never happened, I assume you refer to the claims of a failed splinter group and refers to events that took place in 2007. They split off and claimed to have disfellowshipped me after their having been removed from office a few days earlier.

Well in the wake of my suit, yes that is something I might accomplish here. And even if I do not inspire these people to co-ordinate with me, if I inspire them to renew their work on Aramaic NT Origins then I have succeeded. BTW if ex-TWI Research Team members started working on the ACADEMIC problem of Aramaic NT Origins OUTSIDE of TWI especially if they were acting as a "Team" formally or informally... don't you think that would be a stick in the eye of TWI? I would like to see more work in this area even if I am not involved.

NASI is simply "President" the point is that I am the president of the International Nazarene Beit Din which governs the Worldwide Nazarene Assembly of Elohim since we reorganized the Beit Din in 1996 as a successor to the one of which Ya'akov HaTzadim (James the Just) was the first president. This is a matter of our beliefs, and outside the academic realm.

I am clearly the editor and there is no deception there. I have already said, if you do not want to read the Journal, than do not read it. I have intentionally sought out some of the most serious scholars who were once part of TWI's research team, and sent them PDF copies of my book The Hebrew and Aramaic Origin of the New Testament, as well as the Issue of G'MIRA seeking their feedback (and perhaps even future participation in the Journal). So far none of these persons have criticized the content (or even me personally) Certainly none of them has emailed back anything remotely suggesting that I have no idea what I am talking about.

I believe the first line said: If you enjoyed the old GMIR section you may enjoy the new Journal G'MIRA

I did no such thing. They are directed by me, but they are for religious purposes. As for "peer review" his Journal is less than a week old. I hope to expand the peer review process, perhaps before the next issue. But you must start building a house with one brick, when that first brick is ;aid everyone could stand around and jest saying "you can't have a house with just one brick". Geezzz.. give me a chance to build something before you start trying to tear it down. I noticed a lot of criticism... but no criticism for the actual content.... That tells me a lot, and it speaks volumes.

Obviously I announced the launch of G'MIRA as widely as possible, including the Assembly websites, and obviously those websites also solicit tithes and offerings. None-the-less GMIRA is itself a non-sectarian academic journal. What makes it academic? The scope and nature of the topic. As for the peer review board... right now, since I am launching the journal; it is just me, but I hope to expand it in the future.

I did ask anyone with old GMIR sections to either mail me photocopies, or email scans to cleartruth@yahoo.com James Trimm PO BOx 471 Hurst, TX 76053

I am very interested in receiving the old GMIR articles and remain so. G'MIRA is free and non-Sectarian... if you don't want to read G'MIRA then don't read it... I am not out anything if you don't and I do not gain anything of you do. It is simply an academic journal.
