    Since you’d mentioned “physical” and “mental” abuse, and how it effects the individual, I thought it would be a good idea, to check something, and put it here (I had this on my mind now, for a while).

    I think (personally) that calling what is occurring in scn, and the “abuses” (mentally) that occur – an “abuse”, is a bit of a downplay in my mind……

    Are we sure, what is being done, isn’t torture?

    Enjoyed the podcast and the enthusiasm on the topic that you continue to show. You always talk of the way forward to end the cult (remove tax exemption) but that first step or getting the ball rolling seems a challenge. However, I am sure once it is rolling momentum and gravity will take over and it will be all downhill for Scientology.

      Yes we did. Had episodes recorded even… then the distributors were targeted, got cold feet and then my book went into high gear. Things will settle out soon hopefully and we will be back.

        Really looking forward to your podcast coming back.

        Listening to you and Leah on Spotify is one of the things that helped me finally start to let the “tech” go and move forward with life.

Important Quotes

If the org slumps during this transition period, don't engage in "fund raising" or "selling postcards" or borrowing money. Just make more income with Scientology. L Ron Hubbard From HCOPL URGENT ORG PROGRAMMING
"We own a tremendous amount of property. We own a tremendous amount of material and so forth, and it keeps growing. But that’s not important. When buildings get important to us, for God sakes, some of you born revolutionists will you please blow up central headquarters". L Ron Hubbard Lecture 31 Dec 1960
"Personal integrity is knowing what you know. What you know is what you know and to have the courage to know and say what you have observed".- LRH from Personal Integrity
"It is necessary to happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists of professing to believe what he does not believe." Thomas Paine

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” - Martin Luther King

“Communication is the universal solvent” - L Ron Hubbard
“When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.” Thomas Paine

"The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis." Dalai Lama
