Riplinger and her pawns such as Waite, Hovind, Marrs, and others make many claims about the writings of Brooke Wescott and Fenton Hort which they expect their audience to take at face value and never look up for themselves. In this era, there is no excuse for ignorance. Here are the “Lives and Letters” of both men, which their enemies so often twist, abuse, and misquote. Look for yourself, rather than letting others tell you what they say.
