Talk:Reender Kranenborg/as a source for Wikipedia

Some evidence that Reender Kranenborg is not the Christian counter cultist or anti-cultist that some editros believe him to be, but a serious scholar who tries to write neutrally about new religious movements or cults.

"As I am known in the Netherlands as an "expert on sects", I was consulted on numerous occasions and asked many questions. [..]In my own investigations, I learned that the rumours in the newspapers and on television were either untrue or grossly exaggerated. Apparently, the media were greatly inspired by the ideology of the anti cult movement. "
