	Bob Minton helpt slachtoffers van Scientology. Zo heeft hij er
bijvoorbeeld voor gezorgd dat Vaughn en Stacy Young elders hun
dierenopvanghuis konden voortzetten - Scn had de sluiting ervan
bewerkstelligd. Bob is rijk en heeft goede connecties met vermogende
mensen en instanties. _Hij doet niets illegaals_.

	Scientology / Dianetics denkt daar anders over. Vanaf het moment
dat Bob aankondigde de slachtoffers ook financieel te zullen gaan
steunen, zijn zowel hij als z'n familie lastig gevallen. Hieronder
staat de laatste ontwikkeling mbt deze zoveelste onfrisse Scientology
praktijk.

Since I was away last week, I picked up my mail at the post office today
and found this love note from the cult known as the "church of
scientology".
There are significant mistatements of fact and clearly libelous issues
but you may find it interesting. I think this letter is a further
indication of how little effort is needed to bring this cult to the
point of doing desparate things--like desperate organizations have done
throughout history when they are in the throes of imploding.

     Dear Mr. Minton:

           You appear to have undertaken the financial maintenance of
a significant number of litigants adverse to Scientology Churches in
the United States. You have even become the patron "dog and pony
show" witnesses without legal claims, like the Youngs, who
instigate disputes and sell their testimony to the litigants you
underwrite. You're now even financing the travel of hate-filled
individuals, some of whom have already been prohibited by courts
from committing further acts of violence against members of the
Churches of Scientology, from across the United States to the
Church of Scientology's premises in Clearwater, Florida. You are,
in this manner, a responsible party in fostering a climate of
hatred in Clearwater, which endangers our staff and parishioners
who work and live there.

          The distraction to Church ministers and parishioners
engaged in religious services by the potential hate crimes
committed by the individuals you are financing, would not be
occurring were it not for you going out of your way to foment their
irrational hatred. If you have not realized it before, then
recognize now that this creates a serious potential liability for
you. A number of those with whom you have associated yourself
through your patronage, such as Dennis Erlich and Keith Henson,
have engaged in threats and acts of violence, attempts at
intimidation and scandal-mongering. Association with lawbreakers
such as these, combined with the monetary demands that inevitably
accompany their involvement in litigation or similar fertile areas
for attempts of extortion, make your actions of interest to the
prosecutors to whom such conduct has been referred.

          My client holds you, your associates and backers,
financial or otherwise, personally responsible for any and all
damages it has suffered or will continue to suffer as a result of
your tortious officious intermeddling in Church litigation. The
Church will not tolerate such conduct. I demand that you
immediately withdraw all financial support for such matters and am
warning you that you and those you're financing have crossed the
threshold of legality.

         I advise you to inform me forthwith what you have done to
cease fomenting and financing unlawful attacks against my client.

Very truly yours,

(signed)    Elliot J. Abelson

Enjoy,

Bob Minton
