From: bob@minton.org (Bob Minton) Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology Subject: An apology concerning Clearwater Date: Mon, 01 Nov 1999 15:05:02 GMT Message-ID: <381da3e9.232943@news.newsguy.com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I made yet another mistake last night and allowed a group of scientologists who had been harassing and confronting me from the moment I walked off the plane yesterday to bait me into a stupid response around 11:00 pm on Halloween in front of the Fort Harrison. While attempting to call the police and in the process of crossing the street to do so in private a certain scieno decided I was to have no privacy and I responded in a way that the police considered inappropriate on the video replay (my video). That response landed me in the Pinellas County Jail for a couple of hours in the wee hours of the morning on a misdemeanor battery charge. I would like to apologize for any untowards grief that may befall anyone here as a result of their friendship towards me or implicit association with me by virtue of being opposed to scientology's harassive and abusive tactics as well as their utter hypocrisy and violation of people's civil and human rights. I am not the first person to go to jail by being willing to stand up to a bigoted organization who stomps on the civil and human rights of its members and the public at large. I am also not the stupidest to do that. However, once again, I regret having let down the side of the good guys. Sincerely, Bob Minton P.S. For what its worth, the letter campaign in the last 10 days by the anon cowards of scientology, the visit to my house in New Hampshire by scientologists Saturday night and yesterday's events no doubt shortened my fuse. :-( -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.5.1 iQA/AwUBOB2ramgj/yM+AH/OEQJuZwCgvyQh85x5ihp36eL5XSt0abUWBoYAnRR/ SSjbZgkGW6wwwS0NF8Wk1/cm =1+iA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From: Bob Minton Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology Subject: Scientology attacks the children now Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 14:04:11 -0400 Message-ID: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This past weekend I got calls from people in Boston who said they received a letter from Scientology that read as follows: +++++ If you have any dealings with Bob Minton of 137 Fremont Rd., Sandown, New Hampshire, please be aware of his activities on the internet. All of the attached statements are printed from Bob Minton's visits to an internet "chat channel". Often to the public he calls himself "mittens" or "minton" on the chat channel. This sort of behavior by Bob Minton has occurred repeatedly and he has acted out some of his expressions in the form of violence at various times. He appears to be incapable of controlling himself and thus you are being alerted. +++++ Attached to the unsigned note were 2 posts to ARS made by OSA's angel, Diane Richardson (aka OSA's Whore) on 29 Sept and 30 Sept which amounted to 7 pages attached to the letter. Diane's messages were purported to be IRC logs in which I had allegedly used profanity. After the calls from Boston over the weekend, yesterday, I received calls from 5 different people in Sandown, New Hampshire, from different parts of town, telling me of the same letter. So that is the second mailing to over 4,000 residents here. The amazing thing about all the calls was that the people said "they had received a letter from scientology." Yet, the envelopes (postmarked Boston) had no return address and the letter was unsigned with no letter- head. Why would anyone assume it was the cowards of scientology who sent this stuff. Today, the 2 schools that my 2 daughters attend in Boston received the same letter, again mailed from Boston I went to my own mailbox today and found a newspaper style 4 page mailing from scientology called "Clear Body Clear Mind" which is "a special publication" on the Purification Rundown and an invitation to do the Purif. It was sent from "Dianetics Center, 142 Primrose St., Haverhill, MA 01830, (978) 373-7780."
