Firstly, the individual who posted such comments appears to be an individual that consistently posts comments on websites about other individuals, so it should not come as a surprise to see such conduct. In addition to this, it appears that the person has also violated the policy of the Apostolic Friends Forum, by using the forum as a means to circulate his or her propaganda.

Secondly, in speaking with the former Chair of SEU’s committee recently in Europe, communication was provided that verified that Mr. Stoneking was awarded an honorary Ph.D., from SEU, prior to the appointment of Mr. Johnson as Director. Mr. Johnson is currently being apprised of the matter by the former Chair of SEU in Europe. Mr. Stoneking has not been in any dialogue or direct communication with the author of such defamatory comments, who call’s themselves Baron.

As Mr. Stoneking’s British lawyer, we are currently looking into some additional matters regarding the underlying policies of the Apostolic Friends Forum, since we have been provided with confirmation and verification of Mr. Stoneking’s credentials and status. We anticipate that this resolves any misunderstanding.
Mr. Stoneking was honored by these schools for his lifetime work (SEU, ICW) he paid no funds or fees. you should print a retraction of your statements.

There is growing speculation that the person posing to be Mr. Stoneking's lawyer may be Dr. Kulwant Singh Boora.

Boora, is a noted Oneness scholar and a British lawyer (?)who is highly touted by his friend and fellow AFF poster, James Anderson here:

As Timmy astutely noticed, Boora, also claims a degree from SEU in Boora's Amazon book bio:

About the Author

The author was born in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom and is of Indian descent growing up in a Sikh family. He holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honors from Staffordshire University, England and also studied law at Sutton Coldfield College where he completed his Professional Diploma in Law and Higher Professional Diploma in Law in conjunction with the Institute of Legal Executives Tutorial College of Law; he went onto complete his Graduate Diploma in Law/CPE (Law Society of England and Wales Common Professional Examinations) with Hertfordshire University School of law, England. He studied theology and biblical interpretation with Kings Evangelical Divinity School and the University of Wales; he also completed his studies in religion with Southern Eastern University. Mr. Boora also serves as an Adjunct Professor of International Law with the Washington Institute of Graduate Studies.

Albeit, it must be stressed that appears that Boora is not able to practice law here .... not having any apparent links to any U.S. bar .... much less an ABA accredited law degree

Also of interest is Boora's own article that explains the seemingly less stringent criteria for a person to practice law in England ... here:

It seems paralegals can practice law in England

More on Kulwant who has claimed some degrees from various legitimate colleges but also from SEU....

He was featured in this 2009 Apostolic News Article ....

http://www.apostolicnews.org/2009/12...ble-testimony/

Unbeknown to me trying to preserve the privacy of this person in this photo ... I orginally blurred it out ....

But I now realize it is "Doctor" Singh along with Art Wilson and Lee Stoneking.

Ya know, I don't get the whole "spiritual father" thing - - - mentor maybe, but spiritual father? Isn't our Lord Jesus spiritual enough to be our father?

"The names of nearly 10,000 people surfaced in a federal investigation of a Spokane diploma mill that was selling phony and counterfeit high school and college degrees. While not everyone on the list prepared by the U.S. Department of Justice purchased a diploma or certificate, the department found information about the people listed below in various records kept by those running the diploma mill.

The list, which the U.S. Department of Justice refused to release to the public but provided to state officials around the country, was obtained by The Spokesman-Review and published July 28, 2008.

After the list was circulated, sources familiar with the investigation indicated that some individuals didn't necessarily buy degrees, but their names surfaced for various reasons during Operation Gold Seal. Those names, indicated with a single asterisk (*), should not be considered confirmed degree buyers, sources said.

Names with a double asterisk (**) are individuals who provided information that they did not buy a degree based on documents from the Justice Department obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. The documents, which indicated they only contacted the diploma mill seeking information, have been provided to The Spokesman-Review.

Typed in the name Kulwant Boora.

Why does the name Kulwant Boora sound familiar?

Baron, Timmy .... do we know a Kulwant Boora?

Again maybe just a coincidence? but didn't Boora adjunct at the University of Ohio?

Amen. Malachi 2:10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

Maybe some people have two fathers.... awkward.

When AFF went down yesterday and briefly today there was significant chatter on a masonic preacher's forum that a lawyer may have gotten the forum shut down for investigation and a possible lawsuit
looming

.... OF COURSE THE AFF SHUTDOWN UNFOUNDED AND FALSE ... despite some chest bumping and high fiving within the Enseyite mafia and sympathizers.

... other shennanigans have also been reported regarding "lawyers" in the last 24 hours.

I firmly believe the integrity and reputation of Oneness academia hangs in th balance despite petty games, threats and intimidation.

How do legitimate "honorary" degrees work? Is it something you request?
Or is it usually bestowed on you by someone else - in other words, their idea, not yours??
I'm pretty sure you don't buy legitimate "honorary" degrees.
