Is Dennis Erlich allowed to say that Scientology is a harmful cult?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Lets say that someone is in scientology and contacts Erlich. He should
know whether Erlich is allowed to speak freely, or whether he is bound
by some restriction.

Ok, I'm not gonna get sucked into an endless argument here. Suffice it
to say, you don't trust Dennis to tell someone in that situation
whether he's restricted in what he can say. I trust him.

The vain hope that there is some word or phrase that someone acting for
Scientology can't repeat. Short of getting a Lensman-style lens from the
ARiSians, I don't think that's going to happen.

"Also, there was the apparently insuperable difficulty of the identification
of authorized personnel. Triplanetary's best scientists had done their best
in the way of a noncounterfeitable badge-the historic Golden Meteor, which
upon touch impressed upon the toucher's consciousness an unpronounceable,
unspellable symbol-but that best was not enough. What physical science could
devise and synthesize, physical science could analyze and duplicate; and
that analysis and duplication had caused trouble indeed."

Mind you, some traces of CoS's old problems with the word X*NU crop up now
and then. At least twice, Wikipedia edits by CoS editors have mangled links
to xenu.net. From the look of it (coming out *INVALID*.net), it was
accidently done by an automatic filter rather than by hand, so they might
still have some sort of Scieno Sitter running on the INCOMM PCs that has to
be switched off when pretending to be their current Wikipedia sock-puppet.

I spoke with Dennis on many occasions and found him to be
extremely helpful to me. I did not find him "bound by some
restriction".

If Scn has some half assed "restriction" as part of Dennis'
settlement and Dennis can effectively get around it by talking
about cults in general and counselling all types of Ex's including
Ex-Scn, then I say GOOD ON HIM.

Tilman, I don't know exactly what is going on with you and Dennis
but it seems that you are pissed off with him for "settling" and
getting some money for it.

Scn ruined this guy's life. Not only while he was IN, but after he
got out and started talking about it. Scn went after him with
everything they had and tried to destroy him.

If it turned out that the best thing for him to do was settle
get some money and just STFU then MORE POWER TO
HIM.

He is one of the first few that courageously stood up to the
cult and told them to go fuck themselves, and for his
efforts they worked 24/7 to try to destroy him. He settled
but he's always been around. He's always been available
to talk to and to get help from.

I'm glad he's back here on ars. I was pleasantly surprised
to see him posting on ESMB, and challenging some of
the people over there that were still very much in the cult
mind set. Some people don't like to be challenged.

Now he's here. He's a good resource. He can only
up the level of criticism on this daffy newsgroup.

If you can't stand him, then fine. But please don't smear
him with things you've "heard". You are way better than that.
You are usually a "facts" kind of guy. So if you have something
to say. Let's hear the facts and stop the slime.

Considering that this was among Erlich's counterclaims in the original
case, it would take poor RTC lawyers indeed to settle and leave him free to
relitigate the issue. Scientology's lawyers have certainly made errors
in the past. Missing a possible cause of action is not, however, the
sort of error they make.

That's what Gerry did, and he did never succeed about this: most evidently
for foreign people like me, justice is'nt more perfect in USA than
elsewhere, and the worse exemple comes from Clinton as from Bush, who both
have walked over the 1st Amendment with their laws and decisions regarding
"religious issues" and "'religion using tax money". Why would small judges

I agree: Well said.

The man did what he needed to do, and he's been a huge asset
to many who have left C of S, as well as critics.

Whatever your personal deal is with him, e-mail him. I'm sure he'd be happy
to answer you, or not. Either way, it's a personal issue. Please keep it so,
and stick to what you do best, which IS finding FACTS and posting them, not
questioning a group about another critic's personal life and decisions.

If you really wanted to know. REALLY wanted to know, you would open
some hotmail or yahoo type account and email a question or two. And
then you could post the results here. But you don't really want to
know, all you want to do is to flap your lips.

If somebody could do this and report back it would be great. I'd do it
myself but I wouldn't be able to stop myself laughing.

I'm done "force-feeding people data" Tilman. The only restriction is
my own common sense and desire to allow ex cultists (and others) to
make up their own minds.

I help people *educate themselves* about cults and determine to their
own satisfaction whether they are involved (or want to become
involved) in any groups.

Thanks, Jeff. But arguing with a sh*t-flinger like Tilman is
pointless. He's using his patented Fascist Interrogation Techniques.
Accuse the suspect of all kinds of shit and then wait til he trips up

My ministerial consultations are privileged and under California Law
both parties must give permission for any court to be able to subpoena
records (not that any exist) or demand testimony about the exchanges I
have related to my ministry.

No, Skip. Hostilities ended in 1999. The matter is closed.

Unless there is any continuing harassment, the statute of limitations
has passed.

*You* are so over the top on 'personal' braggadocio of self importance
since your <ahem> 'return' to ARS no matter your <ahem> 'history' as a
meat wagon target for OSA forces it paints you as character pathetic.
Speaking for many who can see what you're doing but either don't care
to respond for fear of thread retribution or not caring in general
which I can fully understand, Go fuck yourself, asshole. Seriously:
Fuck off *and* die -- dickweed, and take your now ancient 'litigation'
wars with you.

>The work I have done for many years has been strenuous, costly and

Ibid. Bow down to "Mr. Einstein" of Scientology criticism in his above
statement who hasn't posted squat on the ARS board for years but
claims "strenuous" "costly" and "obviously effective" biceps as a
credo to his dead Ego needing a massage.

>Tilman's stink-putting on my ministry is just
>another sign of his fanaticism.

My ministry? Did I hear you right with "My Ministry" if quoting you
correctly which I am? Go fuck yourself with your 'ministry', asshole.
No *ministry* of *any* kind allowed in these parts, dickwad!

>Dennis

As in 'The Menace' even if Tilman from time to time is known to be an
introverted nutcase but not in general unlike interlopers from past
years trying to curry 'credibility favors' as some sort of critic
Godzilla 'from afar' who in fact is tearing up bandwidth as 'song' to
his Ego because, well, he "feels like it", as some sort of ARS birth
right. You are *WAY* out of the ARS *time stream*, pal! You're just
another meat body on the board, nothing more, AND, nothing less, so
welcome aboard that includes *all* anons which ARS asshole regulars
deplore because of their pathetic Egos feeling 'challenged'. If you
think I'm just trying to denigrate 'your highness'' by making those
statements, fuck you! Really. Fuck You! If you don't care, which I
suspect, again, fuck you! As in, fuck you!

Take your past litigation trials with tribulations as 'credibility
papers' to "muscle" ARS with and please shove it up your fat trailer
trash ass.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humility

Humility is a quality or characteristic ascribed to a person who is
considered to be humble. "Humility is derived from the Latin word
"humilis", which means low, humble, from earth. A humble person is
generally thought to be unpretentious and modest: someone who does not
think that he or she is better or more important than others."

Take a lesson from that definition of 'Humble'; asshole. That's if you
can!

Erlich is allowed to say whatever the hell he wants to say, irrespective
of any putative agreements he might have with whomever and irrespective
of the "demands" of the public at large. Erlich, like any other person,
has the right of personal choice in his communications. Those that have
problems with this thesis should pound sand. ...deeply.

Has something been said?

The message, at first, was that 'Ex Scientologist Message Board' is a
cult or cult-like and, then, that a.r.s. has become a cult or is cult-
like, etc., and there's been lots of name calling and general flaming
- but what exactly - about the Destructive Cult of Scientlogy - has
been said?

Maybe, now, something, on the topic of this NG - L. Ron Hubbard's
'Church' of Scientology - can be said.

It would be a nice change of pace.

If I had any interest in this I would have done it already, have
called and lied to see what the answers are. But then I've called a
number of 'help for ex-cultists groups' over the years to see if they
are scams. And I lie every time when I call in.

By way of education if you do call in to something to see if it is
legitimate, you have to lie. But you have to do it well. It has to
flow from your lips. Ooze across the phone line with no effort
whatsoever. You have to sound totally sincere, but you cannot sound
sincere because they can pick that up. If something is a scam they
have radar in place, and you have to get past that radar. You have to
get under that radar, over it, through it, past it, whatever it takes
you have to circumvent the radar. And when it comes to lying on a
phone or through email to unearth a possible scam, I am the best you
will ever come across. I'm a natural.

Two 'get your money back from scientology' things that I know have
come through this ng over the years. I called into both of them and
was happy they were legit. I've called into factnet, the lmt, called
more things and people around the world then I can even remember.
Because anything advertised on this ng had better be legitimate or I
will find the scam and post.

Maybe I have been in sin city too long.

Dennis can say that the "Ex Scientologist Message Board" is a cult.

Dennis cannot say that scientology is a cult.

Sounds like when someone asks you (as I did here 1-2 days ago, and
Roland did in the original message) whether scientology is a cult, you
won't give an answer. Which you now characterize as "force-feeding
people data". That, obviously, is a result of a restriction. (Unless, of
course, you don't know what scientology is, or what a cult is :-)) Of
course, your side is that the reason is that this decision not to answer
is purely your own.

Anyway, I think all has been said about that topic. Your non-answers are
similarly evasive than when a journalist asks a scientologist about
Xenu.

And I thought that there had been a counter-suit because of the illegal
search-and-seizure. Maybe that was in an alternate universe. The one in
which you had also said:

I'm sure the cult doesn't have enough money to get me to back
off. I certainly am not going to enter into any agreement with
the sliem [sic] or go for a gag.

and

Of course, once the suit is settled, and I collect from the
cult, the ministry will be looking at how to pay back the
donations in some way, set up a non-profit internet service
provider, and establish a half-way house for people coming out
of cults to make the transition back into society.

Then, dear Dennis, if your experience is that Scientology is a
dangerous cult then feel free to post here that "Scientology is a
dangerous cult". If, on the other hand, you do not feel it to be a
dangerous cult or, shudder to think, you are covered by a gagging

------------------------

But really Reader,

It's flattering to see young Tilly parsing my every word thoroughly
enough to find what he thinks is a contradiction. And then he even
has to twist what I said to make his illogic connect. It's laughable,
really. Pitifully petty. But how convenient for him to have the
thousands and thousands of posts I have made under my own name all
these years to dig through.

And to prove what? That I am a flawed human being who cannot quite
live up to his bluster? That I vainly want to maintain what little I
have left of my privacy? That I don't respond well to someone
flinging sh*tty lies and innuendos at me? All the above and more
flaws? I admit it. OK.

I fold like a lawnchair under pressure. I took everyone's hopes and
dreams for a brave new world, right down the drain with me. Now just
look at this place. Thanks God we have Tils to ferret out my flaws
lest anyone think I am the Ubermench I falsely claimed to be. Sorry I
let you all down. As one invalidated moderator put it: "Sorry I have
a life."

But not really. I don't think anyone should be let down by my
actions. I made scrupulous effort not to screw over anyone no matter
who pressured me to. I did the same while in a cult. If anyone is
disappointed in me, the original expectations were too high. They
should find another Superhero to die a glorious death for them.

As far as the subject of scientology, my words are all over the
internet. And although I see it doesn't bother Tully to repeat
himself, over and over, I prefer not to.

But I will just for you. I've said it over and over ... I could if I
wanted.

And again just for Tilly, I will repeat myself once more. STFU you

Nope. I listen to what they have to say. I let them voice their
personal concerns. I advise them how to deal with interpersonal and
real-life problems. Such consultations are private, confidential and
fully privileged under California law.

As far as whether one group or another is a cult, I point them toward
material that will help them decide such questions for themselves. I
help them learn how to find out for themselves.

My general advice about cults is freely given and, as well as a
recovery booklist, is up on my website www.informer.org

It looks to me like Tilman wrote "can say", meaning "is able to
say" that the ESMB is a cult. And since Dennis himself said he
retains his freedom of speech rights, Tilman didn't lie.

And there are several. Like claiming that there is nothing except the
court order, then claiming that there is the public settlement, and the
"rest" is private. Or claiming that you don't live in Palm Springs (you
said it was part of the "100% lies" by me), while your own website gives
out Palm Springs as your address.

How is this a "privacy" problem, if you (sometimes only) claim that
there is nothing else re: settlement except what is public? You can't
have it both ways.

And how is this a "privacy" problem when you can't answer whether
scientology is a cult, but at the same time accuse a forum of being a
cult?

And how is it a "privacy" problem that ex-cult members should know
whether you are under some restriction? You advertise yourself as
someone who can counsel ex-members. Yet you can't answer whether
scientology is a cult.

Yah! I'm still looking for different ways to repay those who believed
in defense of free speech. One day I hope to fully show my gratitude.
But the projects I'd like to do are expensive. I'm afraid neither I
nor inFormer Ministry have the resources to carry them out at this
time.

And we don't intend to ask for donations for anything, ever again.

Henri, If I had not read it directly from Erlich's post, it's almost
impossible for me to believe that you could be a friend to anyone. You
are the most hatefilled poster on this newsgroup, far exceeding
Barbara Schwarz - who has one of the vilest when she gets going.

Years of Rob's posts to usenet have shown he hasn't changed. I doubt
he ever will. Years ago Rob posted, "Blow up your local Church of
Scientology today". This is a really hateful thing to say. And to
someone like me, who had an adult child as well as many friends still
in the cult, it made me wonder just what sort of person would advocate
such a horrible thing.

Dennis,
I guess that is one kind of thought, true.

But there is another kind of though....

The kind of though one takes when the consequences of ones actions
are understood.
The kind of thought that makes keeping ones soul - no harder than
bearing the next pain...

When Lawrence, myself and Bob Penny (who was dyining at the time)
were ordered to engage
in settlement negotiations - to end RTC vs Lerma that's RELIGIOUS
FAKERY CORPORATION and BPI vs FACTNet and the Wollersheim collection
cases...

We had them offerring between 9 and 12 million dollars for us to STFU
and go away.. and a mandatory $50,000 "fine" which WE had to pay and
in addition
they wanted us to agree to pay Thier court costs for collecting the
50K fines from us,
for each time any of us spoke to the media about scientology...

We added up all the money people had sent to us.. to support our
efforts... and all the insurance money we had consumed
and all the INTEREST... and when we added up all of what we felt we
would have to pay out...and considered how much damage 9-12 million
would do to scientology coming out of their pockets.

We told Religious Fakery Corporaion to kiss our collective asses...
Wst World Article about that here:
http://www.lermanet.com/scientologynews/westworld-08-1997.htm

That barely worth mentioning $200 was provided to fund your defense,
with my own explicit understanding that you would never take a
gag....which
was as I recall, something you bragged about.

Oh, the other thing in our settlement papers..

There was a list of names.

Names of people to whome we could NEVER provide help or financial
support to...the same list was in that guys settlement with Digital
Gateway, Brian Haney..

All the fake critics whose claims exceed their worth were not on that
lost... no greenways, no clarks..

but Dennis, I'm certain YOUR name was...as was mine on Brian Haney's
settlement list of people
who must never be given financial support per scientology

Was my name in your settlement?

Mark, I didn't know that but it does not surprise me. I have never
seen a post on ARS by Henri that was not filled with some degree of
hostility backed by hate. When he aims it at decent people, I cannot
help but wonder which side of the fence he's on him this war with
Scientology.

I also find it very difficult to not be concerned about the character
of those who back him up when he posts his attacks.

Questionable comradery is a disease suffered by a minority here and
the result of it is conflict that prevents some semblence of a unified
front against scientology.

Nice to see you visiting us. Happy New year!

The word 'deceit' is only in one of Dylan's songs: 'I Am A Lonesome
Hobo' .
Perhaps Arnie misunderstood the word 'disgrace' with 'deceit' from the
song 'THE LONESOME DEATH OF HATTIE CARROLL' ? I think so.

The only time I can find where Dylan used the word "deceit" is in the
old song "I am a Lonesome Hobo." Found my new sig there though. So
It wasn't a complete waste of time.

I thought Dennis had made it very clear that the Church of Scientology's
lawyers will be scrutinising anything he says publicly, and won't hesitate
to drag him back into court if they think they can make a case for libel or
contravention of fair use. His attitude seems entirely sensible, and I
don't think he's going to be provoked into intemperate posts as some sort of
a.r.s. re-initiation ceremony. It's easy to search for and read earlier
posts he made to the newsgroup. There's no need for him to repeat himself.

Surely someone who counsels others should be careful not to set up barriers

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'.
And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
As they rode him in custody down to the station
And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder.


But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,

Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres
With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him
And high office relations in the politics of Maryland,
Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders
And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling,
In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking.


But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,

Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen.
She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children
Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
And never sat once at the head of the table
And didn't even talk to the people at the table
Who just cleaned up all the food from the table
And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level,
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed through the air and came down through the room,
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle.
And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger.


But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,

Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level
And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
And that even the nobles get properly handled
Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em
And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom,
Stared at the person who killed for no reason
Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'.
And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished,
And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance,
William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence.


Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Bury the rag deep in your face

For now's the time for your tears.

another guy, I think his name was john bostrum was raided a few years

and if I got the name wrong, I didnt have quotes around him either,

Scientology Gag Agreements - A Conspiracy for Silence

The first principle of a free society is an untrammeled flow of words
in an open forum. Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965), U.S. Democratic
politician. New York Times (19 Jan. 1962).

An Actual GAG Agreement:
Damien Von Markif, in Australia, sent me this GAG AGREEMENT
What is your take on this?
Does this sound like this is a "church" engaged in "charitable
activity"
or a Spiritual ponzi game engaged in a conspiracy to intimidate
witnesses into silence by extortionate conduct?

Some of the previous gag agreements:

A Psychiatrist from the east coast who was an early critic of
scientology

The Allard Case:
Gene Allard 300,000 1976

Flynn Litigation [ BOSTON ] 1986
Flynn settled his in 3 stages.
Stage 1 was Garritano, Graves etc in Boston. original complainants
Stage 2 were the Tampa Cases which included Wakefield, Burden, McLean
joined suit
Stage 3 were the California Cases which included Armstrong, Walters,
Sullivan, and some others witnesses that during settlement scientology
wished to gag, so used the pretence of the litigation to make them
cash offers, one was to Bill Franks for $50,000

Michael Flynn 1,075,000
Gerry Armstrong 850,000
Homer Schomer 650,000 ?
Gabe Cazares " ? "We can't talk about the terms of the settlement,"
Cazares said Friday. "But I make no secret about the fact Maggie and I
are not unhappy about the settlement. In fact, we're smiling."
Martin Samuels ?
Nell and Nan Mclean
James Garritano
Peter Graves
Marjory Wakefield, 220,000
Tonya Burden"Ms. Burden is satisfied with the settlement," attorney
Michael Tabb said. "I wish I could tell you more."
Lavenda VonSchaik 50,000
Eddie Walters [ witness for Wollersheim case ]
Laurel Sullivan
Jim and Nancy Dincalci
Bill Franks 50,000
The Flynn settlements also required that those involved not make
themselves available
for service of process, e.g.,I'll be on the Capitol steps at 10 am
tomorrow if you want
to serve me with a witness subpoena.
End of Flynn's Boston litigation

Vicky and Richard Aznaran 250,000
Bent Corydon $800,000
Roxanne Friend Approximately 400,000

Julie Christofferson ?

Titchbourne ?

Zizics - 200,000 the Dentist ex-wise couple in Chicago whose visit
with mark Bunker to the org was used as an excuse to try and frame
Mark Bunker for Criminal Trespass charges - found not guilty - but
cost Bob Minton 50 grand in defense costs... the Zizics later got
their money back from scientology but had to sign a gag agreement
Raul Lopez - 750,000 2002
David MAYO... 2.5 million? 1997?

Enid Vien ? 1995?

Dennis Erlich - 2.5 mill ? 1997?

John Caban
Pedro Lerma et al. ? All complainants in the Spanish Criminal case

were harassed incessantly and offered settlements to drop their
original complaints, I was in telephone contact with one of the
complainants, an American named John Caban, a jeweler, who also put
Pedro Lerma (no direct relation that I know of) on the telephone one
time. After all the other complainants had been harassed into
accepting scientology's settlement offers.. John called me and related
the amount of pressure he was under, and the fact he was the last man
standing...he sounded apologetic, almost ashamed, that he could not
continue..to stand alone, which brings up another point, no man can
stand alone against organized fascist tactics, it takes your support
to keep going. Every target of Scientology they wish to handle is
subject to a campaign to isolate them, until they feel alone.. this
tactic reduces the cash pay outs of scientology necessary to silence
their enemies. So don't think that what you do, has no effect. Doing
and saying NOTHING is what aids Scientology's campaign for SILENCE.

David Miscavige bragged about this during the 2002 new years
event, saying that even when the prosecution called its own witnesses
"Scientology Worked" -

Chris Clouteir: Upon my wishing to vacate staff, after being secluded
for 6 months, awaiting my 5th consecutive comm ev, I was offered the
500.00 leaving staff $$$ to sign paperwork that stated I wouldn't sue
the church. I didn't sign and therefore didn't get the 500.00. from
Chris Cloutier a 'Flag Trained Original', :Golden Age Of Tech Word
Clearer, posted at A.S.H.O. --Highest tech training org on west
coast."

Tom Pagett says he was offered a gag agreement re scientology by the
Judge in chambers..in exchange for ending an action against him in his
custody case, Tom Pagett recently had his acting debut in Brett
Hanover's production of "The Bridge", in this short movie, Tom new the
routine well, having lived it, with children who disconnected form
him, after he realized what Scientology really was.

There was a man mentioned as being paid $5000 to shut up and go away
who knew Suzette Hubbard, this was in one of the major books

Brian Haney - Not 'gagged' but can't provide any funding to be used by
those who seek to expose or publicize Scientology...

And of course they tried with Lawrence Wollersheim Bob Penny and yours
truly for the gag and for among other things to avoid a final opinion
in RTC vs Lerma:

" Scientologists believe that most human problems can be traced to
lingering spirits of an extraterrestrial people massacred by their
ruler, Xenu, over 75 million years ago. These spirits attach
themselves by "clusters" to individuals in the contemporary world,
causing spiritual harm and negatively influencing the lives of their
hosts ". USD Judge Leonie Brinkema 4 Oct 96 Memorandum Opinion, RTC vs
Lerma

(Webmaster NB: Scientology has an established history of procuring
silence as merely the cost of doing business. Scientology admitted
spending $1,740,000 in legal costs suing me for posting to the
internet the Fishman Affidavit, the story of Xenu and more.. in August
1995, which you recently watched on Comedy Central's Emmy Nominated
South Park segment called "In the Closet". They also failed to silence
this webmaster - Arnie Lerma, Lawrence Wollersheim and Bob Penny after
we refused a 9 to 12 MILLION dollar CASH offer in exchange for our
collective SILENCE.) See Westworld Article "Hush Hush Money" and see
my summary of the Gagged agreements that I know about HERE and see The
South Park Xenu Story is Real page HERE)

Please help me make a complete summary based on whatever is known....
about the pattern of conduct of pursuit of silence... as a simple cost
of doing business to make sure the L Ron the KING of CON's show goes
on...

these are just the ones that we know something about, gag agreements
being what they are, many are reluctant to discuss them, consider this
just the tip of the gag orders

Libel Litigation is also pursued in a quest for Silence

Scientology versus TIME Magazine - Scientology fought all the way to
the US supreme court, Scientology LOST, and it has been affirmed by
the US Supreme Court that it is not LIBELOUS to say that:

"Scientology is quite likely the most ruthless, the most
classically terroristic, the most litigious and the most lucrative
cult the country has ever seen. No cult extracts more money from its
members."

Citations for journalists to give to nervous editors are HERE:

[ Link to the Article ]- has been DENIED by the United States Supreme
Court [link to docket entry ] after being DISMISSED by the 2nd
Circuit Court of Appeals : from the 2nd Circuit's Dismissal:

"To the extent that the Behar Article uses the term "Scientology,"
Chief Judge Walker is of the view that the term as used denotes a
belief system,
or, as the Article puts it, a "cult," [page 8]

In response to the Time article Scientology harassed the writer
Richard Behar and attacked Time Magazine's character, using Fallacious
Argument Techniques, to such a degree that they won a mention in
Magazine Week.

"Temper, Temper, Temper Award - To the Church of Scientology,
which spent $30 million on an ad campaign designed to discredit a Time
Magazine story that labeled Scientology a "Cult of Greed," and then
harassed Readers Digest when it attempted to run the article in
abbreviated form," Magazine Week - Dec 30, 1991

The Washington Post was added to the RTC vs Lerma Copyright and Trade
secret Lawsuit, and after Judge Brinkema dismissed their trade secret
claims, RTC settled with Washington Post by paying the Washington post
$500,000 for their attorney fees.* - An informed source said...

Scientology sued Paul Krassner for $750,000 He writes in the Forward
of Peter Lavenda's Book III of his Sinister Forces Series :"In 1971, I
began to write an article, "The Rise of Sirhan Sirhan in the
Scientology Hierarchy" for my satirical magazine, The Realist. Then,
in the course of my research, a strange thing happened. I learned of
the actual involvement of Charles Manson with Scientology. In fact,
there had been an E-Meter at the Spahn Ranch where his "family"
stayed. Suddenly, I no longer had any reason to use Sirhan Sirhan as
my protagonist. Reality will transcend allegory every time. So,
although I had announced that I was going to publish that article, I
started investigating the Manson case instead. Nevertheless,
Scientology sued me for $750,000 for just those nine words- whoops,
there goes the whole petty cash account-but I chose to fight them on l
st Amendment grounds, and they eventually dropped the suit."

The ACLU's Harvey Silvergate

On Declan McCullagh's Politech Web Site "Harvey Silverglate warns of
anti-Scientology bigotry"

Mr. Silvergate who is a "former president of the ACLU of Massachusetts
and a current board member" wrote:

"Declan,
I realize that my objectivity may be questioned, because during a 5-
year span in the 1980s I represented the Church of Scientology in a
series of bogus "religious fraud" cases brought against the Church in
Boston and elsewhere. However, I did get to learn a lot about
Scientology during this period. Anyone who takes the trouble to study
the Church will understand that while it is of course true that
Scientology is careful to portray itself as a religion in part to ward
off governmental and individual attacks for "fraud", in fact the
reason it is able to do so, with considerable success, is that there
is, conceptually, no difference between Scientology and any
established and accepted religion of which I'm aware. "

So, let us put Mr. Silvergate's statement into perspective....

"a series of bogus "religious fraud" cases" = that were worth more
than TEN MILLION DOLLARS { Referring to the "Flynn" litigation NB:The
total of just the amounts we know about, adjusted to 2002 dollars) to
the Scientology Ponzi scheme for their silence,

for their SILENCE.....!!

destroy utterly, if possible

Scientology conducts its litigation, not to win but to "destroy
utterly, if possible"... for Scientology, litigation in pursuit of
silence is merely the cost of doing business.

South Carolina Judges Seek to Ban Secret Settlements

Read the NY Times article: South Carolina Judges Seek to Ban Secret
Settlements By ADAM LIPTAK. Adam Liptak's article in the New York
Times quoting Chief Judge Joseph Anderson of the South Carolina
Federal Judicial District saying about civil gag agreements that:

"It meant that secrecy was something bought and sold right under a
judge's nose."

Amen...

You see, there is a global scam of truly epic proportions which seeks
to sell the public "A Piece of Blue Sky". The incredible profits of
selling such a 'commodity' under tax-exempt corporate structures make
the purchase of gag-agreements merely a cost of doing business.

I have lost friends that I once had to gag agreements, as a result of
Mr. Silvergate's effort.

The existence of Scientology is completely dependent upon what I
describe as a conspiracy for silence to be able to still lure
unsuspecting young people into Hubbard's trap.. For Scientology, it is
a pattern of conduct, and just the cost of doing business.

Chief Federal Judge Anderson and his peers in South Carolina Federal
District seem to have the courage and foresight to identify this
threat to both our nation's founder's First Amendment guarantees as
well as the income of certain lawyers.

I see what the deal is now. And I see why Dennis is so upset. If these
rumors are true, it would take a big hit on Dennis's credibility not
only as a Reverend ministering to cult victims, but as a specialist of
Bob Dylan lyrics on this particular newsgroup. (I noticed that on his
previous post he totally ignored the contents of your messages, and then
quoted your signature file, and change the subject.):-)

Of course if this rumor is true, he won't be able to address that.
That's the dilemma that he must find himself in if there is a gag
agreement out there.

However, from Rob Clark at least, I feel that a floodgate of statements
like you are a Nazi, but at the same time a communist who supports the
notions of Hugos Chavez, coming on down the pipe, for speaking out so
frankly for what you and others here feel might be a travesty of justice.

Arnie, I agree with this.

But, Dennis says said that he is not silenced in anyway. As I
understand it, he has said that there is no secret agreement, or
contract that he has signed, with Scientology--rather he just chooses to
not criticize them anymore, because he has done so much of it in the
pastm and, it is a matter of protecting his privacy.

One has to ask however if the other party to such an agreement knows
about it, why would telling kindred spirits about the agreement impinge
on his privacy?

However when I look at it, there has to be another document to explain
where the money came from to buy the house in Palm Springs. In the
document that I saw online, Dennis was permanently enjoined from quoting
a list of Scientology materials. He was also fined $69,000. I don't
think that is the victory that Dennis was talking about. In fact that
judgment looks like a loss to Dennis and Morrison Forrester. It seems
to me there is another document.

all the time you were off redecorating your kitchen... this crap will
continue until there is
a fund established to cover the costs of litigation with nazi-
sociopaths with
money to burn such as Scientology, or the Moonies, or whatever...

(at the instant scn found out about the 2 million in insurance we had,

When Bob was dumping millions into the LMT, you know how much money'
came in from 'others' to help the cause? A couple of grand...!!

Hell, when you were begging for dollars online for Mofo Defense fund,
how much actually did come in?
Was it a couple of grand?!?

Lermanet.com.. it takes in a couple of grand a year.wow..
Cant pay the mortgage with that...or even the legal bills...

FactNet... even though they have been audited a couple times by the
IRS
after a certain felonious cult of neo-nazi scumbags who have a dwarf
for a leader
sent in anonymous reports....

it didn't take long to add up the5-9 thousand they bring in..a year...

So why in Gods name does an occasional Law firm step up
to the plate and go to bat?

Its not for the money from the case...It surely isnt to get a chance
to
administer a 2.5 million settlement trust fund

They do it because they want to make good law and see
an opportunity to make widely citable precedents that
build the reputation and visibility of the firm in the legal
community, and media, so the best and brightest WANT to work for
peanuts, in order to work with the lawyers that won THAT
BIG CASE.. and made that big law changing appeal.. to the supreme
court..
Law that makes his a better world..

Meanwhile, Scientology for years has been doing strategic litigation
JUST TO make Citable case law that can be used to make
it financially in legal costs impossible for someone to get
recourse...
say, like ExOT8 Donna Shannon.. who left a year ago or so..
http://www.lermanet.com/donna-shannon/
who now cant even FIND a lawyer to take on scientology
for FRAUD on her behalf..

You had the best case, and the best lawyers, (though mine in the

YOU, Mr Elrlich, had the best chance to make new law. New GOOD LAW,
new good citable judicial quotes
like these: http://www.lermanet.com/cos/whatjudgessay.htm

But where are the Erlich judges quotes?

Where is the Final ruling?

Where is the appellate rulings that make a case citable?

There they are!
Fixing your kitchen up real pretty.. how nice...

IN RTC vs Lerma we got some GREAT judicial opinions.. that have helped
make scientology
litigation too expensive for scientology to pursue!

"the Court is now convinced that the primary motivation of RTC
[$cientology] in suing Lerma,
DGS and The Post is to stifle criticism of Scientology in general and
to harass its critics."

Scientologists believe that most human problems can be traced to
lingering
spirits of an extraterrestrial people massacred by their ruler, Xenu,
over 75 million years ago.
These spirits attach themselves by "clusters" to individuals in the
contemporary world,
causing spiritual harm and negatively influencing the lives of their
hosts "

which brought us South Park

.... "The Court earlier dismissed the trade secrets count as to all
defendants
and the copyright infringement count as to the Washington Post and its
reporters.
RTC voluntarily dismissed its claims against Digital Gateway systems,
Therefore, the only issue remaining in the case is RTC's: ..
(3) copyright infringement claim against defendant Lerma"

And in an incredible stroke of luck.. I mean Dennis, the lucky breaks
Ive
gotten made me believe in some far greater power..
By a stroke of luck, RTC vs Lerma got cited in another 4th
circuit court ruling! So.. it got "aff'd" and is citable!
Those good old boys down in Richmond do NOT like neo-nazi cults...

and why am I mad?

Not cause you implied insult to me, but because you started to
use scientology and nazi techniques of fallacious argument upon my

YOU need to learn what scientology did to you.

Albert Einstein said the following:

"A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'universe,'
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and
feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical
delusion
of his consciousness. This delusion is a prison, restricting us to our
personal desires and to affection for a few persons close to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from our prison by widening
our circle of compassion to embrace all humanity and the whole of
nature and its beauty."


Communist Party directive issued in 1943:
"Members and front organizations must continually embarrass,
discredit and degrade our critics.... When obstructionists
become too irritating, label them as fascist or Nazi or
anti-Semitic.... Constantly associate those who oppose us
with those names that already have a bad smell.
The association will, after enough repetition, become
"fact" in the public mind." -- 1956 Report of the House

Well, now that things have been put in the proper
perspective.......... let me add that there are hundreds of Narconon
related gag agreement settlements across the country; non-
scientologists who have been ripped off who complain and demand their
money be refunded. Many have given up after finding that their
complaints were being met with scientology lawyers and their
games....... It's almost a given that a gag agreement forced and put
in place in order to get the money back so they can get the addicted
person some real help........One man in particular has never given up,
even if he's under a gag agreement; when he gets emails from other
victims, he forwards them to people he can trust so they they can try
to help lead these people to at least getting their 25k some=odd
refund. He's getting more victims to post their stories on the
internet like he did, so the information is there. He does what he can
with humility and without hubris. Vince Daniels called him a
backslider for taking the refund and signing the agreement just hours
before he was to appear on the radio show, but look what happened
Vince Daniels?

We as former Scientologists may have forgotten what it's like to walk
a mile a non exscientologist's shoes but for those who got suckered
into the Narconon scam, it was their worst nightmare in finding out
that Narconon is Scientology and then trying to get their refund. Each
one only wants to get back to the business of getting their loved one
appropriate drug or alcohal rehab care but CoS does not care. The
lawyers for the Scientology front group called Narconon are having a
heyday spinning these victims in. It's quite different for a former
active critic who settled with scientology to come strolling back
onto ARS to think he can just ignore the concerns of others who
depended upon him to be straight up with them and supported him in the
past.

Your defense of Tilman and Warrior is admirable and necessary. Your
post is well stated. There is something so wrong with this situation
and Henri being Erlich's attack dog today. I am glad you posted this
to help cut through the bs.

Lets get this straight.

Dennis says he isn't gagged. He says that it is 100% his decision to refrain from saying that Scientology is a harmful cult.

The guy has no problem with speaking his mind. He's a tough guy. He calls 'em as he see 'em.

So if he isn't gagged and has no problem with saying whats on his mind, and he's back posting on a newsgroup devoted to discussing Scientology yet he won't say Scientology is a harmful cult - there is only one conclusion to arrive at.

HE DOESN'T THINK SCIENTOLOGY IS A HARMFUL CULT.

WTF?

If there is any flaw to this logic I'm sure someone will point it out, but I can't see how else it could be.

Unless....

He's lying.

Either way he's playing us for fools.

Why is he here? It's obviously NOT to discuss Scientology, NOT to discuss his settlement, NOT to answer any questions that are the least bit uncomfortable. He values his privacy this lad. He's said so over and over. So why the hell is he here? To discuss finding God? That's off topic and nauseous to most people here.

If he values his privacy, why is he posting to ars?

Here is my suggestion for you Dennis. Crawl back to that Bittersquash/Greenway cabal IRC channel who protects and champions you and won't question you. That same channel you've been holed up in for 7 years doing nothing but bitching about Lerma or Minton or anyone who happens to be in their sights. There you can evade any question you like with the help of your PR guy (Henri) and your door bitch (Greenway). You can yap happily about your new car and your lovely house and your non existant ministry and no one will care. At least you aren't wasting any bandwidth doing that.

Yes the technology that built the pyramids (to turn men into slaves)
and built the third reich (to turn men into slaves) WORKS...
but there is no magic to it... only a few stage patter techniques of
direction of attention

"Misdirection of Attention - Another Magic Show Technique

Any questioning or inquiry by those being introduced to the
Scientology mind control program is dealt with by careful and
deliberate misdirection of attention onto many, many, little details;
rundowns, actions, clay table training, and Training Routines, word
clearing, etc. ad nauseam.

Scientology uses this identical pattern of misdirection of attention
technique on judges as well as government officials, media and critics
on the Internet. They baffle people with details that are meaningless,
seeking to fixate on inconsequential details - all with one express
intent and purpose, to ensure you miss the big picture.

"Ye shall know them by their acts"

It's just that these 'acts' are appropriate fare only in a carnival
magic show.

"Reality" in Scientology is defined as "AGREEMENT". To maintain the
apparency of this agreement critics must be silenced, especially
anyone who points out how the trick is done. We are dealing with
nothing more than a magic show...of global proportions.

One hell of a trick. "

That is NOT the settlement... it refers to A settlement, not even to

this This 1999 choreographed production. Where Dennis

Some manure is citable, and I quote:

No it isn't. In fact, if its only purpose is defense, and you know and
admit your cross-complaint contains no legitimate cause of action
against the cross-defendant, it might be prima facie malicious
prosecution. IANAL, but I think I'd rethink and restate your averment
that the counter suit was only a defensive action and not a suit
against someone that you filed, which it is.

Why communicate the way you do or don't, then, about the Scientology
cult and its dangers? I would hate to attribute even baser motives
than conformance with a contractual agreement with the cult.

Your situation is similar to mine, and I have a personal legal
interest, in addition to the interest every Scientology victim or
target has, in your facts and approach, and have been reading your
posts since you arrived on a.r.s. a few weeks ago.

I've also been reading Tilman's posts recently, and for many years,
and I believe, from what I've seen, that he has conducted himself
honorably and reasonably in his exchanges with you, and that your
reactions to him have been unwarranted and bullying.

You identify what you've been doing as "reacting badly" to Tilman's
communications, and I think that this recognition is probably a good
first step to doing something other than react badly. If reacting as
badly as you've been reacting is what you really want to do, then
definitely disregard my suggestion.

But what, that the suit was settled? You say it I believe, and in fact
say, to me rather ominiously, that you have no conflict with the
Scientology cult.

Didn't you collect anything from the cult? Are you just being nuttily
evasive?

No he did not to me at least. Where? That's what I've wanted to know
for a couple of weeks.

What? Who on earth does that not apply to? LF

No one. LFBD F/N

If there's no "agreement," then the cult lawyers would be looking for
the same things they look for from every other wog on the planet.

If there is an "agreement," then the cult's lawyers won't be looking
to Dennis for libel or copyright violations. They'll be looking for
contract violations.

But either way, why would he then act the way he has been acting? I
know he credits Rob Clark as a long time advisor (or, to cover all
bases, something like that) but he has pursued a path of relative
self-destruction, bullying the very people he would want to support
him *if* the cult's lawyers do drag him back into court.

Actually, what he's doing could be his fulfillment of an "agreement."

But his posts *have* been intemperate.

By that standard, there's no need for anyone to even be here on a.r.s.
But having arrived here, his relationship with the Scientology cult,
including his legal relationship, are of considerable interest. Adding
in his bullying of good people, and Rob Clark's jumping in to bully
the same people on the same subject, and the interest cannot be
avoided.

Ridiculous. But in any case, the barriers in Dennis' counseling
paradigm are, apparently, cult imposed, although he says something
about accepting them voluntarily.

I have come to accept that in my own case I would have been mentally
impaired if I had actually respected the barriers to free
communication about Scientology that the cult sought to impose, and
which its lawyers do indeed drag me into court over. Perhaps that's a
factor in what Dennis calls "reacting badly" to questions or comments,
and what I see as bullying, and the communication practices that goes
with it.

Not so at all. Cult opponents with a clue know that ops will say
anything. Miscavige will say anything, or have his agents say
anything. They'll all, however, say Xenu easier than Scientology
doesn't work.

But what a person says about Scientology, the cult's opponents --
like, e.g., Tilman -- its nature and dangers, is, on this newsgroup,
all important. How the a.r.s. participant says what he says about
Scientology is also important, e.g., as a bully or as a humble
narrator. I read your posts because of what you say and how you say
it.

In addition, Dennis states somewhere, and I think freely, that he has
no conflict with the cult, or something to that effect. If he was just
being subtly banal and simply informing everyone that he has no
current litigation, then I apologize, but it sounded to me that he was
talking about something broader, a psychophilosophic shift that moved
him toward collaboration on the relationship scale.And this would be
reflected in what he says and how he says it.

I don't think that Tilman would say, even though he also has no
current litigation with Scientology, that he has no conflict with the
cult. I do have current litigation, but I would say that I'm in
conflict with the cult, specifically because of its nature and
dangerous practices, even if that litigation ended.

Dennis also somewhere acknowledges that he reacts badly, and I think
he implied that he reacted badly equally, to both [a] cult and a
critic. I'm not a critic clearly, but it's pretty clear that Dennis
considers Tilman to be one, and some of Dennis's bad reactions
certainly are directed at him.

Presumably Dennis is not restricted in what he can say about Tilman.
He can say the meanest, indeed stupidest things and he doesn't have
to worry about Tilman enforcing some contract against him. But Dennis
cannot really react badly, as he reacts badly to Tilman, to the
Scientology cult. So his bad reactions are not equal at all, but in
the Scientology v. critics conflict, he can, apparently and possibly,
only support Scientology.

And silence is what I see so far. I find it odd that you bandy about
the term "cult", as in "cult-like behaviour" applied to posters here,
and of course you could have a point, but I don't see you bandying
about the term "cult" in your present-day posts about the Church of
Scientology. Instead, we are supposed to refer to your old posts on
that matter. I have to wonder why that might be. So some people here
indulge in cult-like behaviour and yet no mention in present time of
the cult-like behavious or cult-like nature of the Church of
Scientology in your present-day posts. And yet here you are posting to
a Scientology newsgroup and were previously posting to an ex-
Scientologists message board and yet I remember no criticism from you
on the Church of Scientology.

Dennis, this does not add up. The whole situation stinks. The
impression I get is that you are not being honest with people. That is
my gut feeling. I hope I can be proved wrong. And what worries me the
most about this is that you are running an organisation that
supposedly helps people get out of cults. That does no feel right if
you are covered by some sort of gagging order concerning the Church of
Scientology which your responses here make people suspect while you do
nothing to allay those suspicions and so restore credence to your
"ministry".

What is scientology?

I think a lot of information has been poured out here
by everyone involved besides my old pal Dennis.

Still waiting for the message ID.

Also, has the Settlement Agreement dated April 30, 1999 ever been
made public?

If the PC is still useful, then get a new HD (maybe a used one on ebay,
or maybe a critic in the US has one from an old PC) and reinstall all
the stuff from backups. It's too inefficient to read a newsgroup though
google groups. The web based interface is only useful for doing searches
about topics.

Hi Andrew,
You are like me in this sense, expecting minimal standards of good
conduct and professional etiquette from someone who is a minister.
Keep in mind that Gerry is just trying to speak realisticly in his
response to what you said on that. Dennis is presumably someone who is
really a cult victim advisor and possible deprogrammer, and hopefully
not a 'man of the clothe' so to speak.

I cringed when I first read some of Dennis's recent comments because I
am a christian first and it's always embarassing for christians to see
abuse of a title designed to be comforting; I figured that dennis
probably still has some conceptual remnants of Scientology lurking in
his universe ( which all ex members have somewhere within their
thought processes to some degree or another and at one time or
another......)

Whatever the excuse, I had no choice but to disabused myself of the
idea that, at least here on ARS, Dennis is a minister by the
standards I am accustomed to; the lack of evidence is really all I
have to go by.

It's a revered title in this here 'wog' world, so when someone uses
it, they have to know that they are going to be measured by it. That's
a fact of life. So, the decision I came to was that since Dennis does
not care what he says to anyone then what Dennis posts here cannot be
measured against the essence of the title.

Actually, Henri is a long time well respected contributor to this
forum...There are people who don't care for him (and vice versa) but
believe me, he's got a lot of friends among critics.

Well, I don't think you can point fingers there. You've been rather
scathing yourself at times. (examples available upon request.)

And, really, how would you or anyone know who's killfiled Henri? I
don't think you even know who he is.

Those who philosophize? To whom is he referring? Perhaps himself?

If my case was "better" it was in no small part due to the fact that I
stopped having anything to do with the rest of the people like arnie,
wollersheim & keith. IMO these people jumped on the doc-posting
bandwagon for the sake of personal glory or other dubious motives.

Ever wonder why MoFo didn't also want to take them on? They actually
made my case MUCH weaker.

>and could have gone all the way, but..

It went all the way. And it could easily have gone right into the
dumpster with a Judge like Whyteman.

But of course the arm-chair peanut gallery knows better than the
attorney's at MoFo what constituted a proper defense, what would be
success and what course of action would lead to disaster.

BTW, I accepted my attorneys' advices all the way on the case.

>but what?
>You chose to live? Afford to care for your mother?

Sheesh. If he wanted my sympathy he should have asked for it before
this post. Now, not so much ...

The lie that I caved in for a lot of dough is something I can expect
him and the other arnists, mintonites and tilmany sliem-artists to
repeat endlessly without any attempt to prove a word of it.

This is what passes for "news" on this newsgroup now.

>And when you you came back I thought, OK

Like I cared. I have been expecting arnie to turn on me once again,
as he had done several times before ... and of course he's lived right
down to my expectations.

>But no

No. I'm not fighting at all. I'm yankin the ng's chain to see what
flushes out.

Oh look! There's another sliemy turd!

>Show me.
>Ive never caught him in a lie.

Heh, there seems to have developed a serious, wide-spread lack of
reading and comprehension skills on ars since I left.

>You have implied "I made it up out of whole cloth"

Oh sorry! One of the words in the "quote" was actually Dylan's. So I
guess that's not *wholly* fabricated.

>Go fuck yourself mate.

Huh. Anonyscum was arnie? I kinda thought it might be him.

I tell Warrior what, I wonder? (I see arnie is back to his
incompressible ranting style.)

>YOU have to tell the goddamn truth

And he thinks I'm his sockpuppet. Heh.

>You want your soul back,
>don't you?

My soul is intact and firmly in my possession. And certainly I
wouldn't seek help from the likes of arnie if I was to go looking for
it.

But it's certainly clear that arnie and others here think they have
some ownership over my soul.

>If he values his privacy, why is he posting to ars?

Wise words coming from Anonyscum. Even a stopped clock gives the
right time ... twice a day. But I guess he thinks that by my merely
posting here, I forfeit my rights.

Is it just me or does it seem this newgroup has become a sort of haven
and personal turf for a few people who think they can tell people what
they can, cannot and must say here?

Gee, where have I seen that before?

>Here is my suggestion for you Dennis. Crawl back to that Bittersquash/Greenway cabal IRC channel who protects and champions you and won't question you. That same channel you've been holed up in for 7 years doing nothing but bitching about Lerma or Minton or anyone who happens to be in their sights. There you can evade any question you like with the help of your PR guy (Henri) and your door bitch (Greenway). You can yap happily about your new car and your lovely house and your non existant ministry and no one will care. At least you aren't wasting any bandwidth doing that.

They actually do the cult's work for them, while endlessly pasting

It's a counter-suit. So?

Somehow you and others seem to think you have a right to tell me what

Yah, as if I'm bullying him. That's laughable. It's not me that's
telling everyone what they must or must not say in order to pass their
Loyalty Oath test.

I'm reacting appropriately to some ugly slieming being sent my way by
those who have no regard for the truth and only can toss lies and
innuendos at me, expecting me to crack under the pressure.

From their responses, it's pretty clear to me who's cracked up.

Nobody on this newsgroup or anywhere else owns me. Nobody on this

do so is acting like they own me, just like any other fascist would.

I mean the things my ministry has done and continues to do for
individuals, we do for free. We have been paid by the City of Los
Angeles and by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to produce various
events. That's the only pay we've gotten from "anyone" for services.

So Dennis you are saying that posting public court documents, the truth
about the litigations, somehow hurt your case? I thought the truth
about what went on in the courts would set you free? By the way it was
me who started posting all the documents to the Internet through the
Electronic Frontier Foundation. Would you have rather have these public
court documents secret, and hidden from the public? If so, why?

What dubious motives do you attribute to people like Arnie, Wollersheim,
and Keith Henson? Do you think they were out for the money?

No Dennis, it did not go all the way. It apparently ended in a secret
settlement, where the judges order of a permanent injunction that made
it look like you and Morrison Forrester lost the case--no fair use. No
counter claims, and you pay a fine and $69,000. Now we all know
that's not how it came out... but then you're the only one who could
tell us that. And for some unknown reason, you're not saying, even
though you say legally, you could if you wanted to.

Well we'll have to take your word for that because judging by the final
judgment of the Court it looks like you both lost. And, the above
described people that you say may have hurt your case were also in
litigation with the same cult.

>
> BTW, I accepted my attorneys' advices all the way on the case.

Okay then, Morrison Forrester suggested then that you settle the case
secretly without your fair use rights intact. At least you are giving
us some information here. But, I don't know why they wouldn't want to
go to trial because you have a good case: not only was most of their
copyrights of questionable validity, but given the 500,000 pages that L.
Ron Hubbard wrote your one or two pages of use would be considered fair
use by any jury.

Nelle Arnie was just saying that it was tough on him to. And his went
to trial and accomplished something in court that made the cult look
very foolish. That is something that you did not do, even though you
could have.

It's largely unprovable Dennis, because somebody made a settlement in
secret... and the only explanation for that can be for some sort of quid
pro quo. Of course news of it getting it out as quickly as the next
cult member who deserts the sinking ship gets on the web. So what seems
to be unprovable may not be that way forever.


>

Yes it does Dennis--it does pass for news. For this is that newsgroup
concerning the Scientology cult. And people want it to stay that way.
The people don't want to turn it into a noncritical name-calling
irreverent reverend swearing, cursing, and calling people bad names
like Nazi and Fascist. And I don't think you and Robert Clark have the
political capital, and/or rhetorical skills to turn it into that.

You have some nerve. You run here from another group, bitching and
moaning about how badly you were treated there, get all sorts of
conflict going between that group and people here, & then get your
pitbull ' Henri ' out of his cage to do your real dirty work while
you continue to pretend you are a righteous man who is accountable to
no one. When finally the readers' light bulbs start going on and they
start asking you specific questions and you can't or won't give a
straight answer under the guise of FREE SPEECH, you then attack people
for expressing their outrage when they figure out what a lowlife
traitor you turned out to be after all.

There is a place for you. Right where you said you've been the past 10
years. With the crew of pseudocritics who have nothing better to do
than gossip and natter about posters - people who are still here and
doing things things to help others get out of scientology despite the
attacks from the cult and attacks from the likes of you and your
friends. You don't have an ounce of the integrity that Tom, Arnie,
Gerry and Keith have.

You've been hard at work for your money. You created a distraction
here and intentionally so. Your calling 'Henri' / Rob Clark your good
friend explains alot about who you really are. You should be ashamed
of yourself for coming here and treating posters the way you have but
you are not who people thought you were and you are too proud to know
the humility necessary.

You, Dennis Erlich, are a scientology-made man and you stink.
