- While those of you who are not yet "out" may be reluctant to
- partake in this, you may still play a critical role in this
- effort: If you find an action group of the opposition -- get to
- know them, sympathize with their cause, mouth their slogans and
- join their group. The more of our own men (and women) we can
- infilterate into their organizations the more effective our
- counterstrike can be at a critical time. Do not report your true
- motivations to ANYONE except Corwyn, but when you do join an
- opposition group, tell him everything. The fewer people there are
- that have access to your purpose, the better your chances of
- remaining undetected.

- It only sounds militaristic because it is making use of the
- same methods and tactics that our history has found best able to
- concentrate and direct the effort of large numbers of people, and
- those same methods were most often turned to military ends..
-
- Having been raised a christian, I know that the "movers and
- shakers" in christian circles tend to be intelligent, highly
- motivated, and persistant. If we are to succeed, we need to more
- than match their organization and zeal.

- I will be the second to volunteer. I can't do much until
