Letters to the Editor
Defector defends his positions
As a victim of Frank Ofman's personal character assault upon me
in a recent letter to the editor, I am compelled to respond.
Over a year ago, Ofman was invited to debate me on local cable
TV or a Boston regional or national affiliate news talk show in
regard to the controversial nature of Scientology. If you and
your readers recall, he declined. However, he is still involved
in a letter-writing campaign against me as a defector of his
church, which I consider a cult.
To set the record straight, infinite details about the
nefarious litigation going on in Kentucky that Ofman refers to
as just a matter of child support (money) are archived on the
Internet at
http://www.b-org.demon.nl/scn/deaths/childabuse/padgett/index.html
I have nothing to hide. I would encourage Ofman to jump on his
computer and absorb the details as a homework assignment. Also,
I re-invite him for a debate on a local, regional, or national
news talk show to openly discuss matters of child rearing,
scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, or my character.
I am an infinitely loving, devoted, and supportive parent. What
Ofman omitted in his letter is that his counterpart in the
Nashville, Tenn., organization declared me a "Suppressive
Person enemy" of his religion back in 1993. They have been
attacking me ever since.
