I have received seven letters from Sea Org members including Helena Kobrin--a friendly letter from her! The letters are all from women, two of whom I knew well. One letter had a pair of panties in it! What's common to all the letters is a message that I have experienced an injustice, that I should get a "free" handling, and offers to come to Dallas to be "close" to me. Also that it would be a tragedy "of magnitude" if I were to proceed with prosecution of the COS. Here is an excerpt from Helena's letter: ========== Dear Mr. Alexander, Please be at ease, this letter carries no threat. On the contrary, it conveys my best wishes for your survival. I have recently been apprised of the injustices you have experienced. Let me say, I think you have handled this misfortune courageously! It is no mystery to me that you should seek to prosecute, and you have been both astute and forthright in your charges--for the wrongs you have interpreted. But allow me to point out that it is not as it might seem to you. I will be in Dallas soon and would like to visit with you. I will call you when I arrive at my hotel. May I call you David? I want to make up for the wrongs visited on you by well-intentioned but misguided Scientologists. Can we get together, say, this weekend? You may call me Helen ============ Wow! Does anyone have a picture of Helena? Is she attractive? (Just kidding). I wasn't sure how much punch my charges would carry, There are three items in my statement that are definitely incriminating: a) Exposing OSA orders to Gerry Armstrong to cover-up Hubbard's misdeeds and embarrassing past, to avoid disenchanting customers who pay large amounts to Scientology because they don't know of these embarrassing facts about Hubbard. b) Hubbard's claims regarding the E-Meter being an infallible scientific instrument, and that the volcanoes and the date of 75,000,000 years ago are not religious belief, but are scientific fact based on his scientific research applying the scientific E-Meter's infallible dating abilities on hundreds of Scientologists. Hubbard (and now COS) presents this as scientific data in church dissemination literature, and it was this scientific appeal that helped persuade me to spend $111,822.26 on Scientology "psychotherapy". I enclosed Peter Forde's scientific findings which show that Hubbard's volcanoes did not yet exist 75 million years ago. c) I also included Don Lindsay's round-up of testimony from eight literary contempories of Hubbard confirming his statement that he started Scientology "to make a million dollars". This is highly supportive of Hubbard's atheist/agnostic perspective. None of these charges contest that Scientology is a religion for the many good people who believe in it, but it does show conspiracy to represent Scientology as a religion based on (mis)statements of "fact" that were truly contrived. And it looks like it's going to get me laid besides! ---David Alexander -- Separation of Church and State? Scientology intends to control the State
