Actually, if they accept what Barry says here, they aren't very good at "determining what is fact, what is fantasy, and what are outright lies." They might well experience some serious cognitive dissonance if they were to look at certain items in the FFL archives.

Check it out with someone reliable. So, I wonder if the lurking reporters realize that the informant Barry is also a purported science writer? That's actually how I met a couple of them. Others I've corresponded with because of their coverage of other cults, such as Scientology, the Andrew Cohen group, and pseudo-Christian groups. The latter are quite familiar with cult apologetics, and at determining what is fact, what is fantasy, and what are outright lies. They are also quite clear about my role here, which is that of provocateur, inciting people I consider cultists to lose their shit and thus reveal more of their cult thinking. Like some non-lurkers here, they may not agree with my tactics, but they often appreciate the results. :-)
