Quotes by Eileen Barker (?)

“Several of the Moonies with whom I have discussed Unification theology, seemed to think that one cannot understand something without believing it to be good or true. Yet, perhaps paradoxically, it is often these very people who seem to believe that one can know with certainty that something is false or bad without understanding it.”
― Eileen Barker, The Making of a Moonie: Choice or Brainwashing?

“It is my belief that social scientists are useful only in so far as they communicate information which corresponds to the object of their study rather than colouring, distorting, confusing or over-simplifying an already messy and complicated reality with the addition of their personal beliefs and values.”
― Eileen Barker, The Making of a Moonie: Choice or Brainwashing?
