From: alerma@dgsys.com (alerma) Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology Subject: Best of ARS - The Fax - Date: 13 Apr 1995 16:10:45 GMT The following was originally posted 10 Nov 1994 and was the subject of the Wash Post article that appeared on the front page of OUTLOOK, Christmas Day. 10 nov 1994 CofS unleashes the goons. I have been advised by my attorney to post this description of recent events: I hereby declare and state the following: This morning I drove to the bank, and two men in a Blazer style truck were following me. I doubled back, lost em and went home after going to the bank. Shortly thereafter the fellows showed up on my dorrstep and said, "We are from the Church of Scientology" I closed the door. I found an unsigned affidavit with my name on it that apparantly sought to acknowldge information I may or may not have divulged during the Church's auditing of me during my involvement over 15 years ago. The affidavit further contained outright false data for instance it said that I "...eventually left the Church entirely because I could not maintain a high enough ethical standard and wished to protect the organization from my destructive behaivor" It also called upon me to "recant these statements in full and to make it known that my actions were unfounded" In fact, - I left the Church after being given a choice of my health and safe passage out of the State of Florida in exchange for not going through with a marriage to Suzette Hubbard for which we had already gotten the blood tests and filed the license to be married at the Clearwater County Court House, a few blocks from the main buildings there. I reached the conclusion that truth, justice and ethics had nothing to do with the Scientology. And spent a few years trying to forget the time I invested with the Church seeking to fix whats wrong in the world. Needless to say, to sign this document, would amount to perjuring myself. Shortly after the visit (within 60 minutes) from the CofS goons the following Fax was received with no return header. Recieved in full caps.

(unsigned)... end of Fax recieved. My attorney advised me to report the incident to the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION I did this, and gave the agent copies of the affidavits, tabbed to areas of exceptional interest. The FBI agent advised me to file an official police report with the local police, I did the Case # is 941103049 I also gave the local authorities Andre's affidavit. end of repost... Note: DICONNECTD is my AOL handle. Favorite quotes: "A lot of my dad's stuff doesnt work" Quentin Hubbard said this to Dennis Erlich a few weeks before he was found dead in the desert... Looking at the Clearwater facility, Suzette Hubbard said to me: "I want to get away from all this" 1977 Arnie Lerma Clear 3502, Ex-Sea organization officer, Finance
