(Cite17: part of the blog of Mr. Yamaya named "The Davidian Watcher")Mr. Yamaya wrote in his English blog “The Davidian Watcher” that on “October XX, 1942, David Jang Jae-Hyung was born in Korea”. This was, however, a false claim. He later admitted to this, and because of this, altered that part. Still, Mr. Yamaya must apologise to CT for spreading false information which he deliberately distorted to imply that CT was heretical.
Mr. Yamaya must apologise for meddling with David Jang’s personal history. What should Mr. Yamaya do now? Although he is writing a daily diary of the judicial trial in order to hide the fact that he manipulated the details of his personal resume, the fact that he did this is obvious.
Up until now, Mr. Yamaya has falsely asserted that “the specific period of 42 years is the core of the heretical doctrine” and has attempted to discredit Christian Today by wrongly accusing the newspaper of heresy. This time, Mr. Yamaya stressed “42 years” to the extent that its being a clear fabrication is incontestable.
Mr. Yamaya’s false claims have spread beyond Japan, and someone started to make a booklet which incorrectly cited 1942 as the year of birth. The following booklet, made in Hong Kong, is one example of the dissemination of fabricated information. Ensuring that facts are correct should be the top priority for any person distributing information booklets. The resources made, however, have taken Mr. Yamaya as their source with absolutely no verification whatsoever.
Moreover, this information has been duplicated by Hong Kong resident Yeung Chi Chung and brought into mainland China, where it has been used to deceive so many Christians. The fact that this false and deliberately fabricated information has been circulated among Christians beyond Japan brings international disgrace upon Japanese Christianity.

(Cite18: A copy of the booklet distributed in Hong Kong)Mr. Yamaya must accept the blame for this spread of misinformation, as well as the fact that the current situation is the direct result of his mendacious statements and their wider circulation. Nothing less than a public apology for the “1942 – information manipulation” will do from Mr. Yamaya.
