I have literally just put all of my memerobilla in a display cabinet (expensive and hand assembled) and then heard all the news. After seeing all the information I can't help but feel a little shocked. I guess in the end we don't know who he really is, and I still hope and pray that it's not true... but yeah looking at my cabinet now... it's like it doesn't mean as much to me because I feel sad about what's happened? I just want them to prove that it's all fake!! He's been my idle since I was little

Oh, come on now, this is exactly what they want.
If those texts and letters are legit they prove one thing only - Mark Burton is the scum of the earth.
They are looking to trash Jim's reputation in any way they can and generate awful headlines for him. Thankfully, most people can see right through this for the exortion it is.
Jim has done nothing wrong except love a woman who had the most despicable friends.
The only thing you can take away from that very private correspondence is that they had some problems. Same as us all. We've all had tricky relationships and heated exchanges but the difference is with us, those exchanges haven't been monitored and recorded in order to blackmail us at a later stage and we're not high profile and wealthy.
Please, PLEASE .. I urge you to go onto to Tony Ortega's site and read up on these people and what they're capable of. He's a respected journalist who has been exposing this cult for years. No salaciousness or gossip - he's the true defintion of a principled and intelligent writer who takes no pleasure in having to document such a tragic event but suicides in Scientology are frighteningly common. The people on there are great too. A mixture of experience with the cult: some who've escaped it themselves or had loved ones who have, or are still part of it, experts and people who just take an general interest.
He's been covering the story behind Cathriona's involvement with them since she died. They are awful, awful people and am in no doubt that they have been plotting this attack for a long time. They love to get the knife into outsiders (Suppressive Persons, to use their own term) and they love money.
This is the link relating to everything about Cathriona on his site.
http://tonyortega.org/category/cathriona-white/This WILL go away, hopefully sooner rather than later and the gossip mongers and tabloid consuming public will move on and forget all about it and Burton and his buddies will crawl back into their hole hopefully forever and think about what they've done for the rest of their lives. Until then, its up to rational, decent people to see this for what it plainly is and support Jim in any way they can. It's the very least he deserves for the happiness and smiles he's given the world.
