In reply to Jane Doe 2. Yes Jane. The disbarred atty Merrill (disbarred for criminal activity) was behind that. He was incredibly stupid and by asserting wrongly copyright law got the US Gov to rule against him. The attempt to open a 2nd CoS. That failed though and has gone no further than setting a up an amateur website a few years ago. True to form the first thing the new "CoS" tried to assert was the need for all ex-CoS members to submit an amnesty application to them to join the new criminal lead CoS with a grade chart that was not per El Con Hubtard.

In reply to ISNOINews. I thought Merrill Vannier was one of the founders of that. He has been working on opening a C of S and doing all the legal ruds to use the LRH material and etc. He operated a website and may still do so.

In reply to ISNOINews. Successfully running orgs? That has NEVER happened. Ever! Scientology, organized or reorganized, it does not work. Someone tell them to go all the way down the rabbit hole. They are still in a cult, creating a new cult. DEPROGRAMMING is a real word that has value.

Please investigate the World Mission Society Church of God. They are a Korean cult that has widely expanded to the US and other parts of the world. They have multiple pending lawsuits against them. They tear apart families, instill fear in members so they won’t leave, requires over 40 hours a week in participation, and trash former members. I was in the church for 10 years. I am working with other members who have since left and we are currently using YouTube as a platform to get our word out. I read that Leah is starting a new show to investigate other cults. Please please consider this cult to investigate. This church believes that a Korean man and woman are god and has been accused of breaking tax laws. They preach the end of the world is very soon and tell members that they need to be prepared to see their loved ones die in front of them. They coerced several abortions and digitally stalk former members through hacking attempts.

In reply to ISNOINews.

A bit of background. Lana announced the then upcoming change in a post on 12/7/19:

https://milestonetwo.wordpress.com/2019/12/07/life-events/

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

Both myself and Mike Eldredge have handed over the Independent Reformed Church of Scientology to some dedicated Scientologists who have a little more time than we do at current. Both Mike and I are still auditing (and Mike is still C/Sing) and we welcome preclears and pre-OTs that need services.

You will hear more on this shortly on the IRCS website and FB page.

I wish all of you the best with your own life events, as they are experienced.

* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *

[NOTE: The Independent Reformed Church of Scientology website used to embed the Milestone Two blog. Thus, the link above.]

I’ve been waiting for the new team and announcement since 12/7/19.

In reply to Mike Rinder.

The old management was Lana Mitchell and Mike Eldredge.

To my knowledge, the new management has not been officially disclosed. However, I just checked the WHOIS information for the scientologyreformed.org website, which shows the website is now registered to Tom Martiniano.

Tom Martiniano also responded to Lana Mitchell on the new IRCS blog and he is listed as a “Mod.” See:

https://scientologyreformed.org/blog/f/ir-c-of-s-is-back

The blog post linked above says, “We are a team of trained and dedicated Scientologists who have more than 100 years experience in running orgs and running successful businesses. ” I haven’t been able to discover who the other members of the team are.

Who is the “new management”?

Who was the “old” management?

This is wildly off-topic (or is it?), but I thought some people here might be interested. The Independent Reformed Church of Scientology (IRCS) has relaunched under new management. I just double checked, and the Independent Reformed Church of Scientology is still a California corporation in active status, and it still has 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status as a religion in the United States.

“in fact it is just a new take on a pretty universal scam.”

That fact about scientology bears MUCH repetition.Can’t be broadcast too widly.
