Hello Cirt i commend you for trying to keep the page clean of misinformation, Any page that is about NRM requires constant vigilance. as to my particular criticism on whether it is a research group or anti-cult ministry, i understand you concern with me labeling this group to discredit it. however hear is the quote "Andrew Walsh, a religious historian at Trinity College in Hartford, finds this troubling. "I’m by no means an expert on cults," Walsh says. "I wouldn’t go around saying that what Robert Pardon does is bad for people. But what’s interesting to me is that he got an awful lot of mileage out of being a ‘cult expert’ while not being open about that fact that he is religious himself. His group sounds academic and nonprofit-y, and he presents it that way because if he called it the Anti-Cult Ministry, people wouldn’t call him, judges wouldn’t call him. It seemed to me that he positioned himself as a kind of free agent able to comment objectively about the case, and journalists just ate that up and gave him oceans of ink without saying who he was." i also intend to use an article from the Academic Journal for additional criticism "Religion in the News" http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/csrpl/RINVol3No3/cult_fighting.htm i also intend to find the source you used yourself as a source: Eileen, McNamara (February 3, 2002). "Investigator on a Mission". The Boston Globe (Globe Newspaper Company): p. B1. the issue i find with this page is its seems unbalanced i am attempting to add balance currently. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weaponbb7 (talk • contribs)
