Yes, the destruction in the wake of Scientology and Hubbard himself is evident when you look. He cared nothing for the welfare of others, even, or especially children, including his own. “Do as I say, not as I do,” was his motto.
Scientology is a brutal and heartless organisation set up by a founder who obviously enjoyed what he did to people, otherwise it wouldn’t have happened the way it did. Pity it took so long for most of us to “wake up.”
Then Miscavige stepped up to the plate… I’m sure that guy doesn’t have a reflection in a mirror.

“as to 14 year old girls in hotpants, well …”
AFAICT, ANY “straight” guy would enjoy that display, and those girls knew it; used it to their advantage.

I believe he sought to wring out every bit of utility out of every one he came across — including from defenseless children who he could mold in his image — like his “Messengers”. Catch them early enough and they haven’t learned how to stand up to mistreatment of the sort he dealt out. Back then, we were carefully taught to say “Yes Sir!” to any guy as old as he was— no matter how weird & creepy he was. Every indication is that he didn’t try to molest the ‘messengers’ though he MUST have enjoyed their sexy outfits.

“The saddest part about this is the innocent children who are impacted.”

Particularly how he “handled” his own kids. As I see it, he didn’t know love or even have real friends; he only had people he worked with who had some value in his eyes at that time. Including his family. Quentin was a pretty good guy when I met him in ’75 at Daytona’s temporary “Land Base” and I’m pretty sure he was a top-notch auditor from doing drills with him & the other “12s”.

I think when he started having impotency problems he wrote the “Pain and Sex” bulletin. I knew a couple in the SO who read that, took it to heart, or maybe didn’t understand it fully, but they decided to stop having sex because of that bulletin. So I think Ron thought, “If I can’t have sex, no one should be able to enjoy it” and so he wrote Pain and Sex bulletin. It seems that way to me anyway. What really astounds me was that people like that couple actually took it literally and stopped having sex even though they were married and living together in the SO. And the sad thing is that even if the guy wakes up and realizes what a load of crap that was, and decides to start being sexual again, he may not be able to due to the “use it or lose it” school of thought.

A common practice in Cults
as observed in James Jonestone , David Kureah ,The Family etc etc

No plan to do so

There’s no evidence that LRH was attracted to pre-pubescent children, which is what a pedophile is … as to 14 year old girls in hotpants, well …

To be honest it cuts both ways. Glad Ortega can make some money, but it was easier before substack too. I hope Mike doesn’t go that way.
