Fishman Version
In August 1995, Arnie Lerma posted the Fishman papers on the Internet. The posting contained disputed portions of OT VIII, including an exercise for communicating with animals and plants, and a passage depicting Jesus Christ as a "lover of young boys and men ... given to uncontrollable bursts of temper and hatred." Church of Scientology lawyers have asserted that the OT VIII documents posted by Lerma are fake; defectors like Lawrence Wollersheim insist they are genuine.

Famous quotes containing the word version:
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
