There are (potentially) two categories of readers here on this sleepy internet backwater. There are those who live(d) in the cult, or otherwise had deep exposure. And there are those who did not. Naturally, proving the truthfulness of the claims I've made is a different proposition depending on category of reader.
Cultists
No proof necessary. They were there. They know full well that...
- Bob was everyone's therapist, and he was paid for it.
- Bob had sex with his patients.
- The Firestones assumed control over businesses started by Bob's patients.
- Bob hit his wife and justified it.
- Babies were systematically removed from parents and bounced around from surrogate to surrogate.
- Bob's books are replete with lies.
They're able to justify these actions based on their adherence to Bob mythology. Their demigod can do no wrong. (That said, I have a high degree of confidence that many in the group were/are secretly conflicted.)
General Public
Most of my claims aren't provable. And since I'm just an anonymous character on the internet, critical thinkers will quite rightly take everything with a grain of salt. But certain evidence does exist:
- All talks were recorded and transcribed. Alas, this treasure trove isn't within reach.
- Birth and marriage records would prove that Bob fathered four children with wife (and former patient) Tam, followed by five more children with three "sister wives".
- Birth and marriage records would prove that one of the mothers was Bob's former daughter-in-law.
- Public records of stock transactions for the computer company would prove that Bob became wealthy, but his patient DJ (who started the company and who was the driving force) did not.
- Biographical information placed on the internet by Bob (who took over the computer company), his wife Tam (who took over the design company), and his son Dan (who took over the second computer company) lacked educational and professional credentials for the lofty positions they assumed.
I wish there was more hard evidence for the unaware third-party enablers who collaborate with Glendon Association and Psych Alive. However, I don't intend to pursue these data sources.
