Obviously the person who sent me this letter has confused me with someone else!

I have never been a Scientologist and have never been to "flag", except to picket it.

The "Author's Note" of Russell Miller's _Bare-Faced Messiah_ gives thanks to a "Ron Newman in Woodside, California". That Ron Newman is not me, but he's probably the intended recipient of this missive.

If anyone knows how to reach this other Ron Newman, could you please forward this to him? Thanks.

The e-mail was actually in "Microsoft Outlook Express" HTML format, but I'll spare you that.

Ron Newman, I remember when you came to flag to do your N/OTs. Wow, that was such a long time ago. You really have changed. I was on staff then and put you in session with your auditor then. With all of your rantings over the years, I thought is this the same guy?? Ive since done all of my bridge, (both sides) and I just don't get it. But I can firmly see that those mis-understood words you have connected to all of those overts, well you've really pinned yourself down man! I can see a person complain about times of out-tec, out-admin, out-ethics but to attack the actual tech is shear folly. I've had my battles with people from Int in the past 26 years. I've always stuck to my guns and maintained a steady course and blew any bastards away. Most of the time I did it with the pen, not the sword. There were times that I've had to kick the shit out of a staff member or two but I would never go berserk and attack the church through outside sources. When anyone attacked me within the church or outside, (Scientologists not on staff) I'd always site what crime they violated within the church's internal policy first, then I would also state what civil law that was broken and I've always resolved the problem  within the church. Sometimes it was tough but I would not waver and always the son of a bitch who overtly attacked me or covertly attacked me eventually bit the dust, fact. All of the motivators I've recieved were all resolved within the church. Some were really fucking heavy shit. But I prevailed in the end. I remember you were so happy and granted so much beingness it was a joy to talk to you. What the hell did you do? Is that so important to you? You know I as an auditor could really careless what you did? Only that you own up to it?? Well, it's your eternity, not mine. Joseph P. Taylor --- end forwarded text
