ARP Committee under Rev @WVPitt alters report 10 days after submission to the General Synod. pactuminst.substack.com/p/arp-committe…

Ask yourself if @WVPitt is being honest. Links to both papers and the @GeoffVScott + @pactuminstitute video where they first discuss that original paper had one false citation and false accusation. I had Claude check. 34 substantive edits. Every citation I checked, was completely fabricated. I didn't check all of them. Feel free to do so. Summary Version 1 ("10_Moderator_Committee_Kinism.pdf") — 29 pages Version 2 ("Kinism Special Committee of Synod 2026 Report.pdf") — 28 pages The second version is a later revision: footnotes have been renumbered upward (e.g. fn 2 → fn 4 in the early pages, fn 60 → fn 62 by the end), text has been re-flowed, and the page footer was changed everywhere. Two new sourcing footnotes were inserted at the top, so every later footnote slides by two. Systemic / mechanical differences Page footer text changed on every body page — "Special Committee of Synod on Kinism Index 10" → "Special Committee of Synod on Kinism Index Number XX Page Number" (a placeholder; the indexer hasn't been filled in yet). ~24 page footers affected. Total page count: 29 → 28, because text reflowed more tightly. Footnote numbering shifts by +2 through most of the paper (two new footnotes were added on p. 4). Substantive prose changes (34 distinct edits) Editorial / wording: "former U.S. based reconstructionists" → "U.S. based former reconstructionists" "in Grace Presbytery, Michael Hunter and Eric Hancox" → "in Grace Presbytery: Michael Hunter and Eric Hancox" (comma → colon) "daughter of Pharoah. The latter two being" → "daughter of Pharoah, the latter two being" (period → comma) "as Kinism is not as clear and relatable" → "as Kinism. How that is is not as clear and relatable" (sentence break + added clause) "Linnaeus is positively cited by the Kinist Pactum Institute where Michael Hunter, Bret McAtee, and Michael Spangler are fellows" → "This kind of enthno-nationalism which marks nations into ethnic silos is positively encouraged by the Kinist Pactum Institute where Michael Hunter, Bret McAtee, and Michael Spangler are fellows" "Dabney fully understood he was a target of Woodrow's pamphlet" → "Dabney had tussled with Woodrow many times" "It is also worth noting that the post-war PCUS sided with Girardeau over and against Dabney" → "Sadly the post-war PCUS did not go with the stream advocated by John Adger and others" "Robert Mackenzie takes apart the sloppy use of this letter" → "Nathan Ristuccia takes apart the sloppy use of this letter" (and "Mackenzie notes" → "Ristuccia notes") "no supporter of the segregation found in the American South" → "no supporter of the type of segregation found in the American South" "Though some demur from the idea that Morton Smith, for example, actually agreed…for their purpose." → "Though some demur from the idea that Morton Smith and others, for example, actually agreed…for their purpose and a better picture of the times is worth consulting." Deleted sentence (p. 17 of v1): "In fact, Christ had Ammonite blood as well, since Naamah, the mother of Rehoboam, was an Ammonite (1 Kings 14:21)." — removed entirely from v2. Citation / footnote source changes: Footnotes 2 and 3 (new) added, citing Pactum Institute "Christian Race Realism" Parts 2 and 3 (Nature, Scripture). Old single footnote pointed only to Part 1. Old fn 8 (Rushdoony, Institutes of Biblical Law + Ingram, The World Under God's Law, 1959) → new fn 10 (Perry Wilkins, "Rushdoony's Kinism" + Ingram, Essays On Segregation, 1960) — different book by Ingram, different year, different secondary source.

Linnaeus pages: "10–12" → "194ff" (fn 13/15). Old fn 14 (J. Philippe Rushton, Race, Evolution, and Behavior, 1995) → new fn 16 (Richard Lynn, Race Difference in Intelligence, 2015) — different author/book. Old fn 15 (Schlebusch, "Linnaeus and the Reality of Kind") → new fn 17 (Schlebusch, "The Particularity and Universality of Ethno-Christocracy") — different Pactum article.

Adger, "The Unity of the Human Race", SPR 1850) → new fn 19 (Abner Addison Porter, "The Unity of the Human Race", SPR 1851) — different author and year.

Old fn 21 (Girardeau, "Address on the Relation of the Church to the Colored Population", 1871) → new fn 23 (Girardeau, "On Ecclesiastical Relations to Freedmen", SPR 1867). Calhoun page range: 245–250 → 221–232 (fn 22 → fn 24). Old fn 23 entirely deleted: "Report on the Ecclesiastical Relations to the Colored People", 1871. New "Ibid, 231" footnote added (fn 25). Old fn 25 (Robert Tracy McKenzie, Ad Fontes, April 25, 2023) → new fn 27 (Nathan Ristuccia, Ad Fontes, November 29, 2022) — different author and date. Davis Carlton article: date "May 28, 2012" → "January 19, 2011" and URL changed accordingly (fn 26 → fn 28). Old fn 27 (Vos letter to Johannes Vos, April 24, 1893) → new fn 29 (Vos, "The Wonderful Tree", Kerux 6 no. 2, 1991) — different Vos source. Old fn 29 (Chad Van Dixhoorn, "The Westminster Assembly and the Eighth Commandment") → new fn 31 (Westminster Assembly, Annotations upon all the Books of the Old and New Testament, 1651, on Ex 21:16). Old fn 31 (Gillespie, A Treatise of Miscellany Questions, 1649) → new fn 33 (Gillespie, Wholesome Severity Reconciled with Christian Liberty, 1645) — different work. Carleton Coon page range: "655–660" → "645–656" (fn 34 → fn 36).

In total: roughly 34 substantive content edits plus the systemic footer/page-count/footnote-numbering changes. The most consequential are the 19 citation swaps (different authors, dates, books, or articles), the one deleted sentence about Rehoboam's Ammonite mother, and the rewording about post-war PCUS / Adger vs. Girardeau. The footer placeholder ("Index Number XX Page Number") shows v2 is still pre-publication.
