Steven Fishman, Case No. XR-88-0616-DLT.The contents of that declaration (Exhibit A) were true and correct when executed and they remain true and correct as of the date of execution of this declaration.
Fishman's assertions that he was a member since 1979 and that he was actively involved as he states.This belief is based on my experience that only a committed member of long standing would know the details of the inner workings of the group; Mr- Fishman has such knowledge.
Fishman's membership prior to February 8, 1986 and their disclaimer of his involvement and their lack of any records pertaining to such membership is perfectly consistent with their standard procedure in protecting themselves.

Among other things, the filing of the Fishman declaration attaching the church's confidential trade secret scriptures set the stage for a series of high profile Internet lawsuits alleging thousands of purported copyright violations.
