In the interest of being thorough, fair and honest, I tried to contact Scientologists about this thesis (1, 2, 3, 4), but received zero response. I even volunteered to become a Scientologist. I know Scientologists could see my messages, because I received an e-mail from a Scientology representative. - Joe Cisar

Hi Hilary,

I have a question for you. But first I have a comment. I think its great that you can access the internet and find out all about people like Keith Henson even though you don't know if you have a phone or not. I did not know if you would be allowed to communicate with him.

Now my question is what is the public relations policy of dealing with people who are non-Scientologists? Do you know what those would be? Please e-mail or post.

Dear GOLD Public Relations,

Would you be able to give me an indication of what your policy is for dealing with the public? For instance, do you give helicopter rides?

All the best,

Joe Cisar:                             http://cisar.org/rfs0100.htm

Dear Mr. Wagoner,

Thanks for telling us all about the Keith Henson drills at GOLD base. That was really informative. I have a question for you, Bruce. Can you tell me what the policies are for communicating to a person who is not in Scientology? Please post, or if that is not convenient, please e-mail.

Dear Ron,

I volunteer to become a Scientologist, but there is a condition to my joining.

I want to know in advance what will be expected of me, as a Scientologist in good standing. In particular I want to know what my responsibilities will be to my non-Scientologist friends and acquaintances.

What will be expected of me after I make up my mind?

Please e-mail or post.

Hi GOLD BASE Scientologists.

I am interested in being thorough, fair and honest. Especially I would not like to offer people preconceptions about Scientologists as conclusions. Would you mind posting to this news group or e-mailing me the policies by which Scientologists deal with the public?

The reason I know that you are reading this news group is that it came out in the trial against Keith Henson that Scientologists read this news group. Therefore your cooperation would be much appreciated. I hope to be able to reflect your own thoroughness, fairness and honesty.

Have a great session.
