Ms. Joho:

You make derogatory inference about the Sea Organization of the Church of Scientology in your article of earlier today without obviously, knowing, anything about it.

It is a shame, as it exposes your bigoted and false view.

In this day and age when hatred for people and things is rampant, we need more compassion, understanding and willingness to talk, not more verbal and written attacks on others without knowing the truth.

I have been a member of the Sea Organization of the Church of Scientology for over 30 years. My wife is also a member of the Sea Organization. We have numerous friends in many countries who are likewise members.

You should understand that by making such allegations you cast falsehood and hatred upon people who work very hard and contribute enormously to making this world better for everyone, including you. The product is hate speech and hate crimes caused by media perpetuating it by repeating the vile claims of others. Please be more responsible with your writing in the future.

For true information about the Sea Organization, go to the FAQs of www.standleague.org.

Sincerely,
Richard W.
