"extreme examples of the literature of apologetics that has dominated NRM research for years." Media Homes Stephen A. Kent and Theresa Krebs would later allege the use of "media homes" during the course of the researchers' studies for Sex, Slander and Salvation. "Media homes" were described by Kent and Krebs as follows: "Hand-picked individuals living in these well-funded facilities went through rehearsals about how to portray themselves and the group to media, scholars, and others who might scrutinize them." Kent and Krebs also noted question-and-answer pamphlets produced by the group to prevent members from "revealing sensitive information about the group."
