It is wonderful to read your memories of those times, Lowie. Very appreciated. On the SRA thing, I believe that DM is not clever enough to have come up with that. My memory is that Ron Clifford made it up and DM appropriated it for his own use, just as he took my name for the books and lectures, Golden Age of Knowledge, and used that as well.

Dear secretfornow,

Please do some photos of your SEF pins and send the photos and plenty of details surrounding them to Tony Ortega for a story, since that kind of history with photos OUGHT to be recorded on Tony’s site for posterity.

Please.

In reply to alcoboy. I believe Gore Verbinski will make it as the next Pirates of the Caribbean sequel. Working title is 'Thar She Blows.'

In reply to Neil R Sarfati.

Aaaahhh thanks Neil. I remember you so fondly. Yes we had a good gang of people in those days and we were in the ultimate bubble being so young! I have experienced the “Sophie’s choice” you describe in the last few years with my children. Oldest son has never been in and because of his “connections” we were coerced into disconnecting from him which I refused and had to decide between him and my youngest my son (I have 3 of them) – how can any parent be put in that position? I basically said F… you after this and have 2 of my sons now but missing one who decided to stick with the church. I also lost my whole family in South Africa. But I feel free now even though the heartbreak of losing my youngest son still hurts terribly and I just hope that he soon comes to his senses, he is the one who has lost the most – his whole family in the US. The truth needs to come out and the show is doing the best job up until this date. Our family’s story will be on the last episode. Lots of love to you Neil and thanks so much for reaching out. 🙂

OMG, Lois, I love these pictures. They reminded me of how much I enjoyed you and the whole CM gang of that time. As I left from the RPF in 1976 all your stories help me fill in the gaps and questions I have had over the years at to what occurred after my escape. I get a “gargantuan” smile thinking of you, Janis, Terry, Dede, Gary, Gale and the rest of the gang. The one thing I can say about that time was there were many absolutely wonderful loving people. We were all in the same boat. I believe we were not fully aware of the true insanity of SCN and the SO but there were many signs that it was but sadly blocked out. We were blinded by the “conditioning”. I believe none us knew fully the destructive and life long pain of what occurs after one leaves the Kryptonite Faux Cocoon of this group. As we all watch Leah, Mike, Mary, Amy and the rest on “Aftermath” we are reminded how brutal SCN/SO really is. All these “Sophie’s Choice” stories that these gusty, strong and most beautiful old and new friends are sharing brings to light what SCN really is. A brutal, inhuman, dictatorship hiding behind the lie that is a religion. We all fell for the massive fraud of his bait and switch. Nevertheless, we, who can read this know we are the lucky ones. Again, my deepest love and admiration to you and all who stand up to Hubbard’s “1984” prison known as Scientology.

Lois, I was not a sea org, just a public, student auditor. But exactly like you I felt in 1982 I was feeling that I was entering in an “alternative world”. Like the time track has derailed, the futur has been altered for the worst. Scientology was no longer scientology. Hubbard was vanishing. And there was at the top something which was no longer scientology. All the ethics rules of scientology were gone. Auditor’s code was kind of optionnal, specially with sec checks.
It’s incredible to see that someone using force and duress can simply go up to the top. Do you know what was the case level of Miscavige ? He really was OTIII ?
