MacDonald White Paper Followup: HBC Attempts to Expunge Infamous Church Discipline Video, Files Complaint Against PPT, Part 2; Post 11 of 20
For anyone who runs into this situation with You Tube, I thought documenting my journey in the procedure might be helpful. Besides, several have asked how it is going and if I am back to good standing with You Tube (not yet). Determining the procedure is not easy, but it boils down to sending the gist of your argument to You Tube via a certain email address:
copyright@youtube.com, On 10/1/13, an invalid copyright claim was made against me concerning video xx0_94DykXw. Hence, the one strike I have on my account is completely unwarranted for the following reasons: 1. The complaint appears to be filed by a third party not the creator of the video. 2. The video is under Fair Use because it was a public announcement. 3. The video is under Fair Use because it was used to critique the announcement. 4. The creators of the video state in the video, that the substance of the video is not original with them, but they are merely speaking for the Creator. Paul Dohse. cc. Ronald P. Keller, Attorney at law. You Tube sent me a confirmation email with the following information that readers have also been asking about:

Paul's Passing Thoughts 
WITW – Walk in the Word.
From elephantsdebt.com: “Since 2009, it has become far more difficult to track and document MacDonald’s compensation. Prior to 2010, Walk in the Word was a legally independent non-profit organization that was separate from Harvest Bible Chapel. But as of 2010, Walk in the Word was brought under the leadership of Harvest Bible Chapel as a ministry of HBC.”

Just makes your blood boil, doesn’t it? Use WITW and no one will ever be held personally accountable for filing the complaint. Clever stuff. From an organization/cult empire called “walk in the word”.
Sure.

Kind of like his pal TD Jakes. Take a look at the two websites and their “logos”.

Well, I found the video somewhere else anyway, unless its a different one. Is this the video of the 4 goofball elders where one of them says:
“Church matters are not to be tried in the court of public opinion. Publicizing viewpoints rejected by the elder majority for any reason is Satanic to the core and must be dealt with very directly.”
