Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | Missionary man: "'I am aware that a small cadre of anti-religious extremists are trying to generate hostility against Scientology by disseminating lies about it,' Parkin wrote in response to questions about the OT teachings and church policy. 'This little group of insignificant people are the only ones in the world who are obsessed with extracting and altering out of context bits of esoteric data about Scientology and using it to create prejudice against Scientology through reporters such as yourself who buy into their agenda.' "
hmmm... sounds real familiar to me. Sounds like the Mel Lyman cult all over again, complete with Kim Kweskin and some brown-shirt toughies:
"Gude (with mock toughness): Yeah, we're going to tie you up in the chair and beat you till you understand. We might dangle you out the window by one leg. Perhaps knuckle you around the room a little bit. (Everyone laughs.)
Kweskin: Are you scared of us?
Reporter: No.
Kweskin: In any way whatsoever?
Reporter: No.
Kweskin: Why not?
Reporter: (aside to Gude who now stands directly behind the Reporter, gloating down on him): I've heard some stories about you.
Gude: I have quick hands. (More laughter.)
Kweskin: Why not?
Reporter: I believe you respect the truth. Don't you?
Kweskin: I'm not sure you can tell the truth."
