I’m sure he does read the net looking for his own name. I’m also sure he watched every second of Mike and Leah’s show.

The same way Hitler did…by saying what he had to to get close to power; then eliminating the competition swiftly and brutally when the time came.

Not that I am aware of.

Mike, my husband and I have the same question about David Miscavige becoming so powerful. We hear what you and Leah are saying – that members are so brainwashed, that by the time Miscavige hits them, they believe it was their own fault. But, the question is still….how did he get in this position? And, has anyone let loose on him? We are amazed that he is still standing, honestly! And, I find it hard to believe that a narcissistic person like Miscavige, wouldn’t be scouring the internet, looking for his own name and what people might be saying about him. He is the playground bully and needs to be stopped.

Avenger, Archer’s IMDB page shows her born in 1947, which makes her nearly 70 years old. To be fair, she may just be in retirement.

I could also imagine that Archer is keeping up her involvement in AFHR as a remaining largely positive aspect of her involvement in Scientology, one that she is invested in as its founder. I could not find any recent evidence of her being active as a spokesperson for Applied Scholastics.

I suspect that we are going to eventually discover that more celebrities than is currently obvious, have backed away from Scientology organizations, but do not want to be seen as being disaffected. I cannot think of any wholehearted endorsements made by celebrities recently, even Tom Cruise’s “it’s a beautiful church” comment is a lukewarm response that could be the beginning of a sentence that ends in something like “but I am not involved in any religion at this point.”

That’s a good question OhioBuckeye. A very good question. “If an SO member determines it is their truth to leave, why is here such effort and means undertaken to make them stay?” “Tweet” answer: find a copy of an admin scale, read Nicomachean Ethics, study carefully. Tell me.

MY answer: Have you ever met a yo-yo? That’s why. Just to make sure my meaning comes across, the answer to your very good question is that they’re yo-yo’s (in a manner of speaking, of course, of course – wouldn’t want to offend anyone who’s keeping another locked up, no, no). I mean, you can get into the rationalizations that they genuinely think they’re doing the right thing. History is full of that, including “this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you”. The best I’ve been able to come up with in terms of trying to straighten things out is that each individual operates on the basis of goals, products, exchanges, ideal scenes – an admin scale, in Scn. Aristotle talked a lot about this in Nicomachean Ethics. The simple thing sounds like Yogi Berra: if you don’t know what you’re trying to do, be careful, because you might not get it done. It’s humble, but I think I got it right. The individual must look at his goals and purposes, his personal policies, what his end product is, and how that all fits with his envisioned ideal scene: an admin scale is to me the template for the logic of be-do-have, the spiritual DNA of life and living. I guess you can go more simple with that, and just say that a sound basis for life is affinity for others – good feeling about, goodwill, or to reference it all, the teaching of Christianity about others. If I like other people, I can feel pretty good about life. We’re all not too bright. We like people who like us because they like us. We like people who are smarter. We like people who are sound characters. Most of us do what we’re told, most of the time, or some synthesis: our parents, kindergarten teachers, ministers, friends, work associates, governments – you get the idea. I wish I could sum it all up in a tweet – 140 words or less that really were understandable to almost everyone. I mean, I can just quote Hubbard’s admin scale and offer my opinion that it’s the most powerful collection of a dozen words or so in any language. That’s why.

Knowing Hollywood fairly well, my bet is that her loud mouth and claims ensured that the industry types who could see through the scio fog also saw to it that she wouldn’t work any longer. Like any other industry, one has to work at it continually to succeed and remain successful. Anne was always too busy to do that.
