Or did you only read part of it. Ultimate bragging right at an event in my opinion. That book is only trumped by the OECs.

I have seen your 3 seasons on Netflix and I whole heartedly want to thank you and Leah Remini for all that you both have done trying to expose Scientology. I also want to thank all those who decided to come onto the show and tell their story. I can honestly say I was drawn to the advertising of Dianetics back in the 80’s…. I was brought up as a Catholic though it never felt completely right. I can still Thank the Lord today, I am now a Christian.. baptist. I will admit at that time in my life, where I was having a rocky relationship with my stepmother and something didn’t feel right as a Catholic that the advertisement of Dianetics was very appealing to me. If I had met a Scientologist at that time in my life…… I’m just so glad I hadn’t!! I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that they are getting away with being considered a non-profit organization-“Church” and don’t pay any taxes. I also can’t wrap my head around the fact about how a child and an adult are placed together during audit training and the adult is a sex offender!!! There’s a lot more I can’t wrap my head around!!! I just love what you’re doing! What can I do?

William Kilmartin, are you related to Jim Kilmartin? I think that is his name. He was married to a SO wife named Pam Kilmartin who died. Any relation to you? I’d like to know what Jim Kilmartin is doing or if he’s still drinking the KA.

Sounds like Joking and degrading to me. Isn’t that a crime? ?

To tell you the truth, I almost did. Gulp. But, you know where i grew up us proud scientologists where taught that Sea Org was the elite core of recognized A-list recruits.
There was no question.
But, after getting the boot for foul reason, I ran away a second time, first being from mom and dad… So, keeping it all pretty much secret I went out in the world and pretty soon I found myself being critical and enjoying it…. I said they want just absolutely everything and it isn’t worth it. And of course I was right. Double rotten deal is what you actually get, because at that point and FOR 30-odd YEARS i kept the delusion that tech was tech, that Hubbard was god’s gift to man and and as long as I could hold the lessons, the tech in my mind, I was going to be ok. Basically, I forgot about it. That only took a few years I suppose, but for those few years I would have real dreams, nightmares that I was caught back in there. And being treated very skeptically now because… oh my god. Horrible horrible dreams. Skip to 2013 Mike and Marty fishing out back at what turns out to be Marty’s new safehouse and the rest is history. I was a fool no more. And I don’t get vulgar. Just don’t want to wake up all of sudden regretting it. Gripes and gripes I swear I don’t even get mad, or guilty about that or anything if I can help it. Point. Is. what? O yeah, that Hubbard does win my unmitigated indignation. And, significant factor number, two? I was just lucky, that’s all. Had they provided a taxi, I would have been in, lost at sea which a visionary, wayward Captain and forever a Billion years to go. Gad. And Miscavige, the boy, is just a worm. Undignified Guys like me, we can get close the edge, dangerously so. I survived, and now… If dear old Dave would like to speak? I beg you and as for the rest of you I say please, I beg your pardon.

Sunny,
What you’ve just detailed is what I considered completely unreal – nuts, actually, about the Sea Org and its policies, and was the main reason I never joined.
