To Cyril Malka,
At the very end of your mail of December 1, you wrote: »Now, since you participate to this debate about taking me down, and just make an "EOD" when things get hot, I would suggest you answer those questions or admit what you did (at least! A bit of honnesty!).«
Since you ask for honesty I’ll not only give answer to your four questions but also add some comments to your other claims:
In between, I have writen that I was a counsellor for the Ex-Jws group in Denmark, which is correct, (you can read about this in a early book of the ex-Jw's magazines in Denmark!).
This is not true, and I would indeed like to se your "documentation"! According to the letters below you have NEVER been a counsellor or consultant to the Danish group of ex-JW "Støttegruppen for Tidligere Jehovas Vidner"!!!
Søren Bo Henriksen, was asked by Scientology if I was a counsellor for the group while he was president of it. To this question, he answered "no", which is correct, as he only was vice president while I was a counselor.
No, not true. In a letter dated July 19, 2000 Knud Jespersen wrote on behalf of the chairman Jørn Osbæck and Gudrun Jespersen (chairwomen during the time in question 1989-1995):
»Støttegruppen as an association had knowledge of the man through a part of the 1990’s and as far as we remember he has given two talks to us, one in Nyborg around 1992 and later on one in Copenhagen. Besides that he had together with his wife at that time helped Støttegruppen writing applications to different funds for financial means to our work.
Cyril Malka has never been a member of Støttegruppen and he has never been any kind of consultant to us, .. .. .. In fairness it has to be added that he has offered his help for a fee, which Støttegruppen never have made use of. .. .. ..
So when You write that "he has been a consultant for Støttegruppen for Tidligere Jehovas Vidner for a number of years", we have to emphasize very clearly that it is an evasion of facts.«
And here is (as a supplement to the letter from Knud Jespersen dated July 19) what I wrote in my letter (dated August 1) to Scientology concerning Cyril Malkas role above in connection with Støttegruppen:
»Today I received your letter of July 31 in which you ask whether or not Mr. Cyril Malka has carried out consulting work for Støttegruppen for Tidligere Jehovas Vidner during the period when I was chairman (November 1995 to November 1999). The answer is no.
Regarding the claim of Mr. Cyril Malka that he have been a consultant to Støttegruppen for Tidligere Jehovas Vidner I’m able to give additional information to the answer given by the committee member Knud Jespersen in his letter dated July 19. The period in which Mr. Cyril Malka on behalf of Støttegruppen wrote and mailed applications to different funds for financial support covers the period from February 1993 until the fall of 1993, when he in a letter to the association dated October 2, 1993 announces that he no longer wishes to do so.
The nearest we have been to a cooperation between Støttegruppen for Tidligere Jehovas Vidner and Mr. Cyril Malka appears from a letter dated March 16, 1993 from Mr. Cyril Malka addressed to the former chairman Gudrun Jespersen. In this letter Cyril Malka for a symbolic amount offers to work for Støttegruppen with evaluation of therapists who offer help to former members of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The offer was refused.«
It is also correct that Søren Bo Henriksen had made a kind of "cyber" helping page, which was called "Dialogos Counselling". As his habit, even the name wasn't his idea: Dialogos came from "DialogCenter", and SBH took the name from there. He called it Dialogos Counselling, so he registered the letters DC (as in Dialog Center) and tried to sue the Dialog Center hereafter... How great!
I would *very much* like to se documentation on these statements about Dialogos Counselling or me truing to sue Dialogcentret.
In fact the case is as follows: In the fall of 1998 I (as chairman of Dialogos Counselling) received a letter from "Dialogcentret" (which is way the organisation is registered and thereby the correct way to write it!) in which they wrote that they would bring Dialogos Counselling to court if necessary to prevent us from using the name "Dialogos/Dialogos Counselling". After some corresponding with Dialogcentret and their lawyer Peter Gabrielsen they withdrew their claims as the name and logo DC-Dialogos Counselling was and still is recognised and registered by the Danish authorities.
And for the record:
1) I have used the name “Dialogos/Dialogos Counselling” since march 1995 (on the Internet from 02/1997) and in June 1998 I turned over this name to a new association of which I was co-founder.
2) Dialogcenter’s chairman Johannes Aagaard has from the beginning had knowledge of me using the name Dialogos Counselling and did not object to this before I withdrew form the Dialogcenter in 1998.
1. Did you or did you not help the sect Scientology against me? Even though you KNEW it was to be used in a case against Scientology? The letter was written by Karna Jensen on Scientolgys own letter paper and it was said, it was to be used in a court of law. did you, or did you not help them against me?
I received a letter from Scientology on August 1st 1999 which I quite correctly answered the same day as I always try to do with all my letters, no matter who the sender is. If answering a letter is help, then let it be so. (se above)
2. Did you or did you not got a letter from Anne Korsholm, in a standard of DJF saying you had to pay a bill for the illegal use of her paper about NLP where my wife, Britt, and me were the source?
No, I didn’t, but Dialogos Counselling received a letter from Anne Korsholm October 16 (dated October 12), and *not* "in a standard of DJF".
3. Is it correct or not, that you then put your "Dialogos Counselling" down because you then didn't have to pay this bill?
No. The discussion about closing down the association "Dialogos Counselling" began at the end of spring 2001. On October 4th a letter was sent the members of the association for a meeting on October 20 where the agenda was to close down the association. On this meeting it was decided by a unanimous vote close down the association from that day on.
4. Is it correct or not, that you tried to frame me, that you tried to make me look like if I have pulled myself as a "psychologist" (as I have never tried to!) to different people, press or people, as for example my former patient: Judy Prescott? (she authorized me to use her name and mails to you if needed! those would be send to anyone who want to know the truth!)
No, it is not true. Concerning Judy Presscott she sent me an e-mail on June 3, 1999 asking me if I could recommend you as a therapist.
On June 6. 1999 I wrote: »Concerning Cyril Malka I wont state anything about the quality of his psychological knowledge and experience, but from my own experiences concerning former members of Jehovahs Witnesses I can't recommend him, rather the opposite.«
On June 7. I received another e-mail, where I was asked why I couldn't recommend Cyril Malka:
June 9., I answered: »It is not a lack of knowledge to his psychology that was the reason for not giving a more specific answer about his "psychological quality" but the fact that I know him personally very well and I know that there with good reason can be given critic to his use of "psychoanalyst"
The title "psychoanalyst" is not protected as it is the case with "Psychologist". This means that everybody may call himself or herself "psychoanalyst" in Denmark without having the same qualifications and competence as the psychologists have. In Denmark when Cyril Malka describe himself as psychoanalyst it is expected that the (as well as others) have a psychological education (from the University), which is not the case.«
Now, since you participate to this debate about taking me down, and just make an "EOD" when things get hot, I would suggest you answer those questions or admit what you did (at least! A bit of honnesty!).
Yes, Cyril Malka it would be nice with to se you practice ‘A bit of honesty!’ yourself.
Bye
SBR Henriksen
