It was a bridge. He said it was going to someplace called Total Freedom. Never heard of that place.

Very kind of you Bill it inquire after me.I think I am doing well but every six months I have to be monitored for the return of breast cancer which has come back twice and colon cancer which has remained quiet thank goodness.No family history either.I do not get nervous till the night before and then after the tests I go howl at the moon and pray the results stay in remission.So stressful but nothing like Sea Org as you know so well.So happy you are fine.That is wonderful! ❤️❤️

Dear Ann, You are absolutely right. We are lucky to be alive after trusting our lives to the cult. I read what happened to you and I hope that you are Ok now. I am fine.

Thank you for this post.A very very close all and a very important post.When I went to Qual after Quentin passed,a lady who I guess was the Medical Officerin quotes took me temp and it was 1031/2.She said What did you do? Go lie down in the Ladies @ Asho for 30 minutes,splash cold water on your face and get back on the ASR post.Nothing matters but getting thetans up the Bridge.My experience was nothing like yours but it does illustrate an ongoing pattern with the Cult regarding bodies,illness and meds.❤️❤️

I saw the ships doctor who is a licenced medical doctor (by law) but she was a SO member and of course the Church doesn’t believe in painkillers although she did give me a tylenol once. That was like using a flyswatter to stop the Jap aircraft bombing Pearl Harbor. After a week she took me to a doctor on shore who perscribed an antiviral drug. However, this drug has to be taken within 48 hrs in order to be effective. It is similar to Lisa Mcpherson who died about the same time. This shore doctor also prescribed antidepressents as that is the only thing that will help that kind of nerve pain. It is called “shooting pain” as it is a fast pain that rips through you similar to a high voltage electric shock. The ships doctor told me to lie to the shore doctor the next week; telling me to say that I had dry mouth from the antidepressents which is a side effect of the drug. A Sea Org member is considered the property of the org. As incredibly bad as the pain was, it did not compare with holding my wife against her will, telling her I was going to die and that she should end cycle on me, that she shouldn’t communicate with me etc. For 6 months I did not know if I would ever see her again. And my comm with the ship was just met with stalling tactics designed to stall me until I was dead. This was frighteningly effective and resulted in my being almost dead before I received any medical treatment for my AIDS. When my wife and I left my parents house in Jan 03 I am sure that my parents did not expect to see me alive again. My wife told me that my father was crying when we left. I had never seen him cry in my life. It was a very close call.

Oh, yeah. When I worked in a hospital, our department was right next to endoscopy.

For most people, our circles of influence diminish as we get older and we settle in with the associations we can trust and rely on going into older age.

Cruise can’t get the adulation he craves from the film world anymore, and definitely can’t attract eligible starlets. David Miscavige and the doomed promise of scientology expansion are his only prom dates anymore.

This is the first time I’ve ever felt sorry for him.

Thank you Espiando.You are one of the good ones.❤️

Thank you Ann B. 🙂 Much love to you!

You know, I actually read that at first as “Hey, it’s your prostate.” All I could think of was, “Well, it all depends which direction you fall, doesn’t it?”
