"Suppose you were to find that the deception was on the part of the
people making Paul out to be a liar?  Which is more plausab;e, that
Paul concocted all of Eckankar out of thin air or that a fruadulent
pseudo-researcher manipulated the truth to make it seem like lies and
deceptions?  If one is possible, so is the other.  Look again.  Now
you see it, now you don't."


David Lane replies:

Hmm.... "fruadulent [sic: Steve's typo?] pseudo-researcher
manipulated the truth to make it seem like lies and deceptions"

I like it Steve. Twitchell lies about his birthdate, his spiritual
sources, and plagiarizes extensively, but I am a "fruadulent
pseudo-researcher."

I give you citations; Twitchell does not.

I give you documents; Twitchell does not.

Yet, I am the fraud.


I like the twisted logic here.


You may not remember this, but I recall a time when Eckankar point
blank denied that Twitchell ever knew Kirpal Singh.

Indeed, they even officially stated that Kirpal Singh forged
Twitchell's names on many papers, etc., and tried to use him for his
own purposes.

But guess what?

Some 20 year old punk wrote a term paper and changed the official
tune within 3 years.

Gross denied Kirpal Singh.

Klemp admits it.

Gross denied Hubbard

Klemp admits.

Gross denies plagiarism.

Klemp not only admits it, but pulls two books out of circulation.


And guess what?

For all that nice input I did, I get fudging legally harassed......


Oh well.......


I guess that is part of the territory for a
lone 

"fruadulent" researcher........



I got a better title, though:



how about


"fraud" researcher?


and you can call yourself

"typo" researcher.
