You seem to be implying that Tom leaked those documents to deliberately set John up for action by the cult. I think this is unlikely. Sure he was stupid and deserving of our contempt for signing that affidavit. I have more reason than most to condemn his action as I am named in that affidavit (even though at the time Tom had never heard of me, and I certainly had never heard of Tom). I think his willingness to do so suggests he was (and is?) not as free from the cult conditioning as he thinks he is. I can't imagine someone in his position who had never been in the cult would sign such a document simply out of fear that his cult member wife was about to come home.

But given this, he has since done whatever he could to correct the situation. Contrast that with John Macgregor's subsequent betrayal of his ex-premie friends, where he has yet to make any effort to make amends.
