I would like to post a rebuttal to James Trimm's slanderous accusations,
against Pete Vacca and Dan Chaput. First off, Pete
Vacca was not even there
at the conference. He sent his speech, with another member of the Assembly,
since he could not be there. Therefore, the paper was read, exactly as
it
was written and Pete could not explain, defend or correct any
misconceptions, that listeners might have had.
Second, the the paper was on green ears verses the equinox, to determine
the month of Abib. Pete Vacca's contention was with the Karaites determing
of the month of Abib, in the manner they did this year. I am getting
a copy
of this paper, and any one who wants to know exactly what was read, can
find out. Not quotes taken out of context, without questioning the author.
Which brings me to my third point, concerning James's slander of
Pete.
Pete told me that James Trimm and He have never even met. James is making
comments about a man, on public forums and over listservers, when he
does
not even know him personally.
Concerning Dan, and the book Christianity Unmasked, again, Dan
was not
approached by James to clarify or question anything. They also have not
met
or spoken to each other.
Chapter 12 of this book, is about Judeo-Christianity. It states
that the
term is an oxymoron. Christianity is against Judaism, therefore you cannot
use that term for believers of Yahuweh/Yhwhists. It is incongruous. Dan
stated, not knowing if James read the whole book, that James took the
parts
that he might have read, out of context. The book is about Christianity,
not Judaism. Chapter 12 also, defines Semitic. This involvs ALL the
descendants of SHEM. That includes Aram, Ashshur, Persia, and since Abraham
was Semetic, then Ishmael, would also be Semitic. The term anti-semitic
does not mean against Jews alone.
Both of these men stated that James did not contact them to talk
with them
before he publicly spread his slander. Both stated that he never came
to
them, as a brother in Yahuweh, about this matter. He went against Torah
and
slandered them.
Both of these men are Torah observant. They follow True Torah.
They walk
in the ways of Yahuweh. They do make a distinction between that which
is
Torah of Yahuweh and that which is Talmud and Tradition of Judaism. They
follow what is in Scripture. This does not make them anti-semetic; anti-
mens traditions, maybe, but not anti-semitic.
What I would like to know James, is why, having come from a unity
conference, you sought to divide the Yhwhistic community in this fashion,
by slandering men you have not even spoken to, on these matters?
Posting that I checked into a situation,
that I spoke with the men at length and asked them numerous
questions, does not make me anti-semitic. It makes me
responsible. To prevent inquisitions, witch hunts,
concentration camps, McCarthyism. Some people have a propensity
to react, instead of invesitgating.
They accuse instead of trying to clarify, they attack
instead of trying to correct if they see a wrong. I check
things out. If you are saying that by doing so, that I
am anti-semitic, then we can take this debate to the
Assembly and let them judge me in this matter as well.
Many of them already have and said that your
statements are groundless. By the way, a number of them
are Jews, real Jews. Not this fake lost tribes or I
found a relative Jews, that cant prove anything. These
Jewish people read what I said and said that I was
not anti-semitic. I have even had Rabbis read it and they
agreed. And again, James, they are real Rabbis
that earned their title through legitimate sources. I
agreed to a discussion, so you could see what I said.
You are in a loop, implying that I said something I did
not.

James you left out the quote by Jew concerning
themselves.
"Consider the quote from a Jewish author, 'You make much noise
and fury
about the undue Jewish influence in your theaters and movie palaces.
Very
good; granted your complaint is well-founded. But what is that compared
to
our staggering influence in your churches, your schools, your laws, and
your governments, and the very thoughts you think everyday?' This statement
was made in 1928 by Marcus Eli Ravage in Century Magazine, Feb. 1928,
p.
347." This is not my belief and it is clear that
I am inserting something you left out. I merely showed
that you did not quote all the sources he mentioned,
that you convienently left out the Jewish sources
that said the same thing. This in no way was an
acceptanace of the statment. I dont believe that the Jews
control the whole world or even America.

Now Kathryn's Website says:
As to the material posted toward Dan Chaput, I addressed
the issues in the
other posts. I have never endorsed Dan's book. I read chapter 12, and...
I
think things could have been worded better, ....
James immediately tried to get Dan removed from his
position as US
distributor of the ISR Scriptures. I contacted them and let them know
of
the forum and what was taking place. To my knowledge their has not been
a
reconciliation between Dan and James. But ISR investigated the situation.
Dan is still a distributor of ISR publications. How
is it anti-semitic to let other groups know the whole
story and to invesigate fully, so that they would
not just take your word for it. Perhaps your problem
with me, is not just that I disagreed with you
and stood in your way in a smear campaign, that I called
you to accountability in your behavior, but that
another group checked into this and didnt see fit to fire
Dan, which you wanted.

MY COMMENTARY:
Kathry said of Pete and Dan:
Chapter
12 also, defines Semetic. This involvs
ALL the descendants of
SHEM. That includes Aram,
Ashshur, Persia, and
since Abraham was Semetic,
then Ishmael, would also
be Semetic. THe term anti-semetic
does not mean against
Jews alone.
Here you seem to buy into the Anti-Semite definition
of Anti-Semitism
which Dan gives but which is not accurate (just look up the word
"anti-semite" in the dictionary) I never bought
into his definition. I stated then what Dan sited. I told
you in my reply to you, that I listed the websters
that I had and it listed Jew 2nd, after it listed
descendant of Shem. It also listed a third, which
was broader. I pointed out that anti in front of any of
them changed the meaning and asked you once again
to define your terms, which you refused.
You also said:
Both
of these men are Torah observant. THey follow True Torah.
They walk in the ways
of Yahuweh. They do make a distinction
between that which is
Torah of Yahuweh and that which is
Talmud and Tradition
of Judaism. They follow what is in Scripture.
This does not make them
anti-semetic; anti- mens traditions,
maybe, but not anti-semetic.
...
(off topic at the conference Dan wore not tzitzit
and scoffed at my wearing
tzitzit.)
As I have shown Dan's book goes WAY beyond being
anti-Talmud and
anti-Tradition of Judaism. He teaches that:
Jews are the synagogue of Satan,
run the world
and are the literal unredeemable seed of Satan.
Now since you do not to seem to acknowledge that
these things are anti
Semitic, you in general seemed to defend Dan's book as not anti-semitic
I
was led to believe that you are yourself an anti-semite. In fact
you
quoted and used Dan's anti-semite definition of anti-semite in your post.
Moreover rather than says that the IDEA that:
Jews are the synagogue of Satan,
run the world
and are the literal unredeemable seed of Satan.
are anti-semitic IDEAS you seem to say that
the book which teaches them is
NOT anti-semitic
and that it should be better worded. These ideas are anti Semitic
REGARDLESS of how they are worded.
OK I will now let you "straighten me out" and let
me know where I have
"gone wrong"
with this thinking.
Perhaps if you could resure me that you find these
ideas anti-semitic
REGARDLESS
of how they are worded. As I showed in my e-mail
to you, I stated then and I reaffirm it now, I did not
support Dans book. I merely typed out the chapter
for people to see for themselves and to see that you
had, on a number of occasions misquoted him and
selectively chose passages to make it say something
other than what it said. Since you are convinced
of your own theory. I leave you to it. I can see that you
have no intention of repenting, apologizing and
issuing a retraction. I am once again taking this to the
Beyth. My words, statements and beliefs stand on
their own and they will be my defense, as they have
been. I will not discuss this any further with
you. You are insisting that I am an anti-semite because I
got in your way. You do not truly seek shalom,
but slander. Kathryn
