It was around 1988 or 1989, wasn't it? Do you remember how it went? I remember that it was a big put down on the F., I think it was around the raids that were going on around the world. Like in Indonesia, Hong Kong, etc. Then, later, during the raids taking the kids out of the homes, the F. started a big PR campaign with exmembers. Do you remember that? They sent Faithy around to bring back exmembers that knew too much, could be trouble in reporting the truth. That's when Faithy got SSam to rejoin. Well, it was about 1993 when I got a phone call from King Arthur. He actually called me to tell me that he was on a mission to soothe the wounds of exmembers - yeah right, pull the other leg. Anyway, because he knew that I had won Justus Ashtree into the F., they thought I could call him and get him to meet with them. Do you remember how they treated Justus? I'm sure you have the letters where they talk about the whole ordeal. There is no way in heaven he would ever want to meet with them again. I even told ARthur that, I said, "do you really think he'd want to meet with you?" It was obviously just a PR campaign and all they wanted to do was silence exmembers. So, beware friends if you start getting phone calls or knocks on your door from important F. members. They ALWAYS have an agenda. Walk softly and carry a big stick. Don't be fooled by their love-bombing.
