Jehovah's Witnesses
Ok, so I looked up your first scholar. All I can find is he was a college professor, probably a JW himself and the only thing I see is he quotes Wescott and Hort, the 2 single biggest frauds in the history of the entire world.
That took me all of 5 minutes. Every good Protestant should know who Wescott and Hort are, and what despicable polecats they were.
