Dear Tanya,

We appreciate your efforts.

We are definitely interested in what people have to say about their
organisations.

BUT: please be aware that there are legal ramifications to quoting
people. Getting their permissions would be a good idea if you intend
to use their names.

Alternatively you could use the journalistic method of quoting
"trusted sources". At which point the choice is left up to the reader
to make up their own minds as to the trust-worthiness of the source.
Which, in this case, would be you. since you are the supplier of the
information.

In general, we believe that the debate regarding brainwashing/mind
control/cults/sects/toxic faith etc. needs to occur transparently and
therefore.......what we at FACTNet would love to see is that any
forthcoming information is NOT sent to us privately but that it is
posted for the world to see in NewsGroups like a.r.s.

If you post to a NewsGroup like this and have potentially damaging
information to share then you would be advised to frame your
information as emanating from your opinion.

For example: "IMHO, Lawrence Wollersheim" is synonymous with "In My
Humble Opinion, Lawrence Wollersheim".

There are plenty people in a.r.s. who could advise you on legal ways
to post hot information. (In fact, FACTNet would also like a refresher
course. So if anyone has any advice we would like to hear it.)

If you feel compelled to share information privately because it is
world-shattering then we also advise you to share it "privately" with
other trusted web-sites that have a similar agenda to you. There have
been too many raids for any one person or organisation to be left
holding the crown jewels and then lose it all in the blink of an eye.

Keep up the Good Works,
FACTNet Staff
