When Lisa McPherson joined scientology at the age of 18 in Dallas, Texas, I'm
sure she believed that the next 18 years would be the best years of her life.
Instead, 1977 to 1995 turned out to a living hell for Lisa that was full of
lies, deceptions, disappointments and betrayal which is typical behavior for
a destructive mind control group like scientology. This betrayal of Lisa's
trust by scientology culminated on November 18, 1995 when she was
incarcerated for 17 days of torture by scientology and her "friends" at the
Fort Harrison Hotel. Lisa allegedly died on (but most likely before) December
5, 1995 like a caged animal and no one in scientology cared about Lisa as she
lay dead with cockroaches feeding off what little fluids remained in her
battered and bruised body.

The Lisa McPherson Trust is a direct outgrowth of several very significant
events relating to Lisa's death: A) the fateful call by Fanny McPherson to an
attorney by the name of Ken Dandar who was and is both courageous enough and
pure enough to withstand the assaults of scientology; B) the internet
awareness campaign started by Jeff Jacobsen which helped bring the tragic
death of Lisa McPherson to national attention; C) the death-bed request by
Fanny McPherson to Ken Dandar that she wanted Ken to let the world know what
scientology did to Lisa; and D) the continued courage of Lisa's remaining
family led by Dell Liebreich to make scientology accountable for Lisa's
tragic death.

The Lisa McPherson Trust has been charged by the memory and suffering of Lisa
McPherson and her family to be like the Surgeon General's report on cigarette
packages and we will stick to the side of scientology as a WARNING to
consumers that "scientology and all other destructive mind contol cults are
dangerous to your health, your emotional well-being, your bank account and
your very life."

Lisa McPherson's memory will live on long past the minor footprint left by
scientology on this planet. We at The Lisa McPherson Trust will see to that.
