"Rumor mill" is actually a pretty good description of twi, and it has been for almost its entire history. vpw himself started that off- he listened in to the Liberty Lobby and John Birch Society and pretended all their stupid, baseless rumors were Divine Revelation, and people, of course, bought it. lcm continued in that vein- he announced the Pope (the elderly John Paul II) had bought an aircraft carrier, and was about to go around and demand conversions by force. It was OBVIOUSLY false. Even if JP2 had been that type of person (he was not) and the RCC had that kind of LIQUID CAPITAL (it does not and did not), first of all, it would need someone willing to sell an operational aircraft carrier to them. Then, once they took ownership, the next, rather obvious problem would come up. Who would CREW the thing? The closest thing to crew would be the Swiss Guard. All of them together wouldn't be enough to man an aircraft carrier, and they're from a landlocked country whose "navy" patrols lakes and rivers.
For that matter, inside twi, I heard all sorts of unverified rumors that turned out to be completely false. People bought into them, and passed them along. In the case of one, I thought the person passing it along had actually been an eyewitness- but it was an event that never happened. In all my life, I've never seen a group of people half as gullible to rumors as I did when I was in twi. Obviously, that hasn't changed.
And they're calling the GSC a "rumor mill"? Well, lcm was fond of saying that the devil's minions often accuse God's people of the things they themselves (the devil's minions) do- like saying Jesus cast out demons by a prince of demons. So, really, this should surprise nobody now. They're willingly taking on the role in people's lives that normally might be "reserved" for the devil's minions.
