Who started the Lisa McPherson Trust?
The LMT was started by Robert Minton. Although he was never a member of Scientology, in 1995 he became concerned about Scientology’s attempt to stifle free speech on and off the Internet. Later, as he learned more about the abusive tactics of this organization, he became concerned about the lives he saw being destroyed by it. He began to correspond with various people who were being attacked by the organization to see how he could help them. He established the LMT when it became clear that it would take an organization to fully expose Scientology’s abusive and deceptive practices and to bring about the needed reforms.
