Bishop Raymond Kelly,  James Trimm, for years, has been ambiguous
about the source of his doctorate. No organization or individual that he has
ever sited, knows of where this so called seminary is from.

An incident occurred about a month ago, in which I did some investigating into
the statements that James Trimm posted at several forums and even started a
website, under the name of Rabbi Yosef, advocating the Book of Mormon. The
woman who knew this to be true, through a phone call, was called a liar and a
slanderer by James Trimm and the vice-president of his organization, SANJ-
Society for the Advancement of Nazarene Judaism. This all occured earlier this
year.

About a month ago, I received forwards from a forum, where people were being
rude to this woman and demanding that she put up the proof or shut her mouth.
Out of curiosity, I decided to see if there was any proof linking the two. I
found it right away, by using DNS numbers from the posts of Rabbi Yosef and
James Trimm. They were the same. Not only did he post as Rabbi Yosef, but also
as Yosef Liahona and Steve Cohen. All the posts under these names outright
advocate the BoM.

So I wrote the evidence up and posted it to the forum involved. My post was not
allowed by James Trimm, who owns the forum. So I sent all the information to
the Beit Din that he created, who he said he was accountable to. The next
morning I received an e-mail from James Trimm admitting that he had posted as
Rabbi Yosef and other names, but said that it was for academic reasons, and
that he was a member of the Religious Crisis Task Force, and he would
"infiltrate" various forums, seeking to prevent other Waco's from happening. He
sited his doctorate and that he had special hours for this type of research.

I contacted Dr. Phillip Arnold in Houston. He said that the Religious Crisis
Task Force was basically dormant, but could be resurrected if an agency called
on them for help. He also stated that James Trimm was not doing that work for
them, but it had to be for his own studies.

So I have been seeking the source of his doctorate. I received an e-mail from
Professor John Tvedtnes at BYU, stating that he checked this out over a ayear
ago and found that it came from a diploma mill. I got an e-mail from Dr. James
Tabor, from University of North Carolina, at Charlotte, who said that James did
not have a doctorate and he had warned him to stop saying that he did. That if
he had a certificate, it was probably from a diploma mill.

I have written to James Trimm, asking him the address of this seminary and he
refuses to answer. Other people, including **********, who wrote to you,
have also asked him. He refuses to answer. Then when I posted this information
to my site, calling him to accountability for his numberous lies and slander,
he sends out an e-mail to his lists, stating that it is from y'all. But again,
does not list any addresses to verify this information. So I am writing to see
what can be found.

If you would like to see what he wrote about his connection with y'all, you may
see it at this location.

If you have any other questions, I would be more than happy to answer them.
