It seems to me if this were true than Donald C. Burney, who is the author of "The Report" book would sue him. Of course, since this accusation just recently came out, Mr. Burney may not have yet seen this. For a discussion on "The Report" look at
That was so funny. Only a JW could actually be "worried" about You Know.
The truth about the truth: you may have heard this expression in connection with the insight that the person known as E-Watchman (E-W) has brought forth concerning Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Watchtower Society (WTS). His impressive writings certainly show that he is an intelligent person and has vast knowledge of the Bible indeed. How did he get such enlightenment? Is he truly a ‘watchman’ of Jehovah sent forth to reveal the wrongdoings of the WTS and the ‘truth about The Truth’?

I give up! for some reason my litle excerpt doesn't want to cut and paste correctly, and stuff is getting dropped. oh well no biggie.
s for the contents of “The Report”: there are some interesting observations and reasoning contained in the publication and it makes some pointed deconstruction of certain practices and beliefs of JWs. H owever, from the outset the authors place misguided emphasis on the reading of Daniel 11:40,41 and the assertion of “lands” into the text. It should be noted that most translations render the text in a manner similar to the NWT here without obfuscation of the meaning.
Consider this Excerpt from Henry Complete:
Here seems to be another expedition into , or, at least, a struggle with . The Romans had tied him up from invading Ptolemy, but now that king of the south pushes at him (v. 40), makes an attempt upon some of his territories, whereupon Antiochus, the king of the north, comes against him like a whirlwind, with incredible swiftness and fury, with chariots, and horses, and many ships, a great force. He shall come trough countries, and shall overflow and pass over. In this flying march many countries shall be overthrown by him; and he shall enter into the glorious land, the ; it is the same word that is translated the pleasant land, ch. 8:9. He shall make dreadful work among the nations thereabout; yet some shall escape his fury, particularly and , and the chief of the children of Ammon, v. 41. He did not put these countries under contribution, because they had joined with him against the Jews. But especially the shall not escape, but he will quite beggar that, so bare will he strip it. This some reckon his fourth and last expedition against , in the tenth or eleventh year of his reign, under pretence of assisting the younger brother of Ptolemaeus Philometer against him.
Thus even if we allow an ego-typological fulfillment of the scriptures for Jehovah’s Witnesses, (recognizing it as containing “Spiritual Israel”) there is no controversy with other lands or groups being dominated by the “King of the North” in addition to Jehovah’s Witnesses.
But the real flaw is to assume that the scriptures have such a modern-day fulfillment in the first place. Such a conclusion is a matter of Hopeful-Faith.
TWMC and "The Report" were around far before e-watchman, but there's no way King ripped them off. That's my take on it.
I have been on that site. E-Watchman and I didnt like it.
I didnt like it either....it just rambles on and on....not sure whether I understand why the watchtower would give him the time of day.

I commented in ShiningOnes thread about the video Robert provides on his new site that promotes his book.
What I found interesting too, is that over on the discussion forum he has on e-jw site where he answers inquiries about plagerism, he keeps calling Donald Burney, Donald BRUMLEY.
Just found that interesting for some reason.
It was good though to finally see his mug-shot.
