Lumberg, you are absolutely right, but sadly so.  The people who put so much faith in William expected him to tell them the truth, and so whatever words he uttered, had to be truthful.  This is what I said all along.  Blinded by the promise of riches, their beloved God William certainly could do no wrong.  The hard core group of followers were blinded by their own expectations, and could not see the truth when it stared directly at them.  What fools they are.  What utter and complete fools.  To this day, they may still believe that good may come and all will be rewarded, and even on the day the massive R/S is announced with no concessions and nothing of any value remaining, some will still believe.  While some will crawl back in their bottles, others will simply cry, and the big mouths will blame everyone for speaking such negatives and exposing the truth about William and his companies.
