Thanks, jere. Yes, for sure the shoe’s on the other foot now. All the cult can do is lie because there isn’t any good news for public consumption. And it brings to mind what LRH has in the tech which I’m paraphrasing as “What you resist, persists.” They’ve been opposing the “lying media” for so long that they now have BECOME the lying media!

That’s a great idea, jere, thank you. I’m definitely due for a tech upgrade all around!

Scientology cares not about the 1st Amendment or free speach except to use it as a battering ram against any who would take an HONEST look at scientology.

Aqua–“Sorry, my posts have been awash in typos for some time now. I still have internet connection problems”
You might try something that’s worked for me: Copy any text I want to quote, then switch to a little text-editor app that comes with the OS. Once edited to my satisfaction, select all of the text, cut, then come back online and paste into the message and click “post message”. Worked wonders when I first tried to do this stuff with a laptop. Resting my thumb on the trackpad caused the *strangest* errors I couldn’t correct so easily while online, but did see after I’d pasted and reviewed my comment. Since, I don’t bother typing except on an external keyboard(no trackpad). And, pressing “save” from the app lets me keep my initial thoughts for later revision and expansion. My wife enjoys that as she can then see what my thoughts are on the subject; I don’t discuss scn much with her except as a result of “Aftermath” episodes and my blathering along about these blog posts.

Yup, Aqua: Didn’t they/he say at one time, “If it’s in the media, it MUST be a lie?” The shoe’s on the other foot: Pretty much everything scientology says that is specific enough to be verified turns out to be a lie. The REAL “enemy of the people” is scientology, itself, but those still inside have no way to evaluate the stories intelligently. At times like this, scientology bypasses thought and relies on emotional appeals, even when they conflict with the stronger emotions caused by Dwarfenführer’s insanity (along with that of those connected to him, the PTS sycophants). Perhaps Eddie will wake up. I’m not holding my breath, though as he’s sufficiently ineffective that having him switch sides would likely be a *blessing* for Davey-boy’s efforts. Some folks are liabilities whatever they do.

Kathleen, the reason the celebrities (other than the ones with real integrity, like Leah) don’t stand up against Must-savage’s predation is because they aren’t personally affected. They get love-bombed at the CC, told by BY VIPs in the org that anything not part of the party line is a lie and an attempt by SPs to destroy their Eternity®, a 1984-ish redefinition of “truth” to be BAD and not to be considered seriously if they want to get those super-powers Ron promised but clearly failed to deliver, didn’t intend to deliver, and couldn’t have delivered had he wanted to.

Most of Mark Rathbun’s blog topics stayed up for a week or more which allowed for side conversations generally but not always relating to scientology. People shared knowledge and experience from investigating and practicing other philosophical studies and practices.

Marty is history and the days of debating any potential benefits within the subject itself are over with DM’s cherch being the main topic of conversation. Scattered Independents continue to claim benefits which I don’t think is unusual. Scientology had hundreds of mental “processes” which produced benefits for some people some of the time. It was an exploration of the metaphysical and the paranormal with some people regarding Hubbard as Source/Prophet.

COS definitely has eyes and ears all over the place…all it would take is one ” tip” & Shelly would be moved to yet another secret location, just like other family members that belong to now former members who are now “declared S.P.”…..& probably some of the “missing in actions”…who have YET to be officially declared.

There’s a huge stinking smelly disgusting putrid scent in the air, & that’s the stench of RATS who tip off the head RAT so that he’s able to keep her well hidden.

I am sure the IRS is taking notes, writing down names, documenting what’s been stated, reviewing those PRINTED LRH POLICY STATEMENT materials that are flashed on the screen during A & E’s Aftermath show & no doubt have read any and ALL LRH books & materials……

Mick,

It’s always about COS unwritten policy to “Train Them While They’re Young”…..to know that EVERY cent they have is EXPECTED to be “donated” (handed over) to COS for their own good to clear the planet.

Thank goodness your children have wonderful, loving, caring, dedicated parents & that your children will NEVER be exposed to these horrors.

Hugs for those beautiful children & wife from me!
