A have a couple of questions about this statement

1 ) If you DON'T observe it for yourself, is it untrue ?
                  Or should we simply ignore it on the grounds
                  that we cannot make an informed descision ?

2 ) Given 1, why are Scientologists posting anything to the net, other
    than information on where to view ORIGINAL documents ?
    After all, how can we believe what they post here ?  All we can
    believe is that THIS information is posted HERE, and we cannot
    make any judgements about the truth of its content!!!

    I would appreciate some clarification, (perhaps with photocopied
    notorised original documentation by snail mail),

                            Red/.
