Thank you!

I still remember seeing you when you were released from the Hole to follow John Sweeney around for his TV special. The way you looked in that show was enough to tell the whole world that something was bad wrong with Scientology. You went from being their main spokesman who looked fairly healthy to looking like a ghost. Pale and thin…malnourished…all one had to do was look at you and see it. You looked like you had been in the gulag and come to find out that was exactly where you were. Then the public doesn’t hear or see anything about you for years until we find out you have escaped. Fast forward to the Truth Rundown with the Tampa Bay Times and you looked like a whole new person. Then this blog, the Aftermath, the podcast…redemptive work. The pics of you holding your son and laughing was like a whole new guy…the happiness that Scientology had stolen was now abundant.

It’s that happiness that Miscavige despises. Happiness and success. He can’t stand the thought that you (and all of us SPs) aren’t under his tiny boot heel. You being successful proves that life after Scientology is possible and that being ‘declared’ an SP means NOTHING. Miscavige is a big fish in an ever shrinking bowl. He can pull out all the stops and try to slander and libel you but he just doesn’t seem to realize that these actions make Scientology look even worse. Much worse than what he thinks the ‘SPs’ are doing to him and the organization. All of his fake slimy websites and ‘POW’ videos of family and friends testifying to tons of lies and negativity only turn people away from Scientology.

So I say CONGRATULATIONS! Can’t wait to read it. We can all hope that your lost children will find their way and finally wake up…not only yours but all of the children of SPs who are still inside.

I have to admit, based on that picture, the book looks really thick, but I plan on reading all of it! I did pre-order it, but now I’m wondering how it’s going to be delivered. I might need to buy a forklift. I’m also very glad to read that the “real evidence” wasn’t destroyed, and look forward to reading how it will be “vindicating Mr. Miscavige”. Vindicating Mr. Miscavige is probably the first chapter, I’m guessing.

Otherwise – and I really hope you’re not offended – that previous website whoismikerinder.com does a quite poor job of advertising the new book. It’s not my place to offer you advice, but I really hope that you won’t again avail yourself of the services of whatever business created that site, and think you made the right decision to get an entirely new one.

See other comments. Are you in the US? Do you have an Amazon account?
