For some time now it has been a running joke that the Freewinds “off the crossroads of the world” has been tied up to a dock because they had no money available to purchase the fuel to leave harbor.
But for the past year, the Freewinds has been really run aground. Anyone who arrives to Aruba intent on visiting the permanently docked vessel must first spent two weeks aground in a motel room in “quarantine.”
Here is a recent arrival announcing the wonders of her trip to the stranded Freewinds. Oh, the amazing luxury of a room with a coffee table AND a table and chairs (on the patio). And not only that, they have FRESH WATER to drink and they even have a microwave. I wonder if this woman has ever been to a Motel 6? Or a Holiday Inn Express (though frankly, having sampled plenty of them and other chain hotels, the picture she includes would not make it one of their promo pieces)? What – two sinks? OMG how amazing is that…
If you’ve ever stayed at Candlewood Suites, Staybridge Suites, Residence Inn or any of a number of “long-stay” hotel chains (you can just stay overnight, but they accommodate people staying a week or more) you would even have your own KITCHEN in your room, with a FULL SIZE refrigerator, a stovetop, kitchen table and chairs, as well as a desk and sofa and chairs and even a coffee table.
The clientele this is catering to is NOT potential OT 8 public. They have enough money to have made it through OT 7, so they likely have far higher expectations and standards than this woman is expressing. Though it is also possible that she is simply writing this to try to curry favor and get a commendation in her ethics file. She has enough money to blow it on a trip to the Freewinds, so maybe she has stayed in a real hotel before. No normal person could find something to rave about with a cheap motel room at the “top of the Bridge to Total Freedom.”
Forget it – she’s got a coffee table?
That’s it.
I can’t pass this up.
Gonna do my A to E, whatever it takes to get back in the fold.
A coffee table…Jesus.
Nice knowing you guys…Mike, all the best.
We each have our price, you know?
Much love,

I’ve seen more attractive hospital rooms.
That was my very first thought.
Everyone aboard are Scientologists. I was the Repair Chief for 16 years. I personally overhauled or repaired every single piece of machinery in the Engine Room. I had no formal training at all. It is called “Make it go right or die”. So I did make it go right.
In 2002 I was sent off to die of full-blown AIDS that I got from contaminated blood in Curacao in 1989.
The sent me to a chiropractor to be treated for AIDS who stated that he had never treated an AIDS patient. When my wife finally got off the ship after being held against her will for 6 months I had dementia and no “T” cells left. They told her to take me to a hospice “So that I could die”.
In a brazen act of Non-Compliance she had the audacity to take me to a hospital (I could no longer walk or do anything.
I recovered quickly after getting the right treatment.
You are a miracle. So glad you’re getting better
Thank you Lisa.
After I started the treatment for HIV it only took 6 weeks for the amount of virus in my blood to drop from a level so high the test could not measure it; i.e 1 million + viruses in 1 cubic millimeter of blood to so low ( less than 20). It took a year or 2 for my T-Cell count to return to the normal range. Currently, my immune system is just as strong as anyone who never had HIV/AIDS. This was good because I tested positive for COVID in December. Symptoms were mild, just stomach trouble for a few days.
The Captain Freewinds told my wife in 2002 that my death was imminent and that nothing could be done for me and that she should “End Cycle” on me. Had she done so there is no doubt that I would have been dead as the Chiro the ship sent me to told me in no uncertain terms not to take the “deadly” drugs the regular (SP) doctors would give me.
I think that I got the better end of the deal. Now I am an SP and am still alive, unlike 3 of my friends who were in perfect health when I was sent off to die, namely Richard (Wak) Allcock, former 1st Engineer of the Apollo and Chief Engineer of the Freewinds, Paul McElveen, Deputy Captain Freewinds. Both of them supposedly died of prostate cancer. They must have just received no medical treatment until it was too late, just like me. My father had prostate cancer and the doctors just zapped it with radiation and that was the end of it. My main charge on the whole cycle was that they held my wife on the ship against her will, clearly stalling while they waited for me to die. I was fighting to stay alive mainly so I could see her again before I died. I did not know if I would ever see her again. It was the same as if she had been kidnapped.
ISNOI NEWS,
Methinks it might have been Joy’s previous husband who donated most of the $1mill. Apparently he was wealthy. Bet she stitched that chump up for plenty. Guaranteed she is looking for another $ucker.
scns? CONFRONT? Bite your tongue! The best they can do is non-confront while sitting 3 feet away.
If the Freewinds is truly docked for good, what does that mean for its crew? I’m talking about the people who actually run the ship, ex. navigators, engineers, etc. The other onboard crew can just as easily be thrown elsewhere, but it’s not like Scientology has another boat where it can use its licensed professional mariners.
A coffee table and chairs!!!!!!! Jesus H. Christ Dave….are you sure this woman isn’t going to dramatize being out exchange with you? I mean what did she do except donate at least north of half a million to keep your puny raggedy ass in McCallens and anything else you want. I suggest we cool it with the chair and tables Davey, who knows what they’ll expect next, you miserable POS.
That looks a lot more like a hospital room than a hotel room.
MY hospital room wasn’t that posh.🙃
Come to think of it: my library isn’t as well appointed😇
Having spent years traveling for business and experiencing the gamut of hospitality levels, that review can be read as setting the Freewinds a small step below Hampton Inns.
Perhaps the last time she stayed in a hotel it was Mappin’s bizarre Camelot Castle in the UK?
Comment of the day 🙂
It’s not just lack of money for fuel keeping the Freewinds tied to the dock. She hasn’t sailed in so long, many of her mechanical systems will need major overhaul before she can sail again. For the same reason, many of her certifications are no longer valid. And new SOLAS and eviromental rules went into effect before the last time she sailed. She’s looking at at least a year in drydock, with Xenu knows how much money poured into her, before she’ll ever sail under her own power again.
The best guess I’ve seen, is that she probably lost an engine or something equally catastrophic, leaving her stuck in port, unable to do exercise runs or even make it to a drydock under her own power, and in need of more than just some refitting that would have been due. With the pandemic on top of it, Scientology is probably mired in the sort of dysfunction that ends up with them leaving decaying buildings sitting for decades.
Certifications? Since WHEN has scn cared about adhering to “wog” rules? Tubby seemed to think that SOLAS and such were intended to drive real sailors AWAY from the Sea.
Thank you Lisa.

This may be a joke. Isn’t it??
Is this “The Onion” news? “Babylon Bee” perhaps?
A PULL OUT SOFA!!!! We are given lots of water???? Every couple of days???? WTF????
I know! Its hilarious and you’re making it even more so. I am on the floor with this! Thank you, Mike and Dotey. I really needed a good laugh tonite!
Well, in all fairness to the travel writer: Once you get to oatee 8, you had your expectations thoroughly re-adjusted as to what your money should be able to buy–even if it’s hundreds of thousands of $$$. So what’s a mediocre room, provided for you at the customary cult rates? The least of your concerns, no doubt.
??? The “Fleecewinds” is putting them up for 2 weeks quarantine before they can actually board the ship and get services? WAIT until you see your onboard accommodations, clams. They’ll seem the very height of luxury compared.
And you’ll enjoy not having to go anywhere else onboard for your sauna regime. You’ll sweat it all out IN your cabin.
“The “Fleecewinds” is putting them up for 2 weeks quarantine before they can actually board the ship and get services?”
And what’s the bet that you get to pay for the hotel stay out of your own pocket before getting ripped off even more on the SS Rust Bucket.
Specialized diet?
I thought she had super powers to fix any mest issues.
Maybe she needs to run around the pool as well.
OT 8 where LRH claims to be “The Anti Christ”. OT 8 where LRH lets the mark know that nothing they ran was actually them. He tells them “Now that you know who you are not, you are ready to find out who you really are.” (Kind of like LRHs big realization). Yep, back to square one. The answers must be on the “real” upper OT levels. Didn’t LRH say that he was personally auditing on OT 25 and he had everything laid out for everyone to follow? So sorry. Just more fantasy and another lie. The guy was losing his mind thinking he was surrounded by evil spirits (thetans) to the point he was suicidal. Google Steve “Sarge” Pfauth for his fist hand account. Scientology and the Freewinds are both destined for the scrap yard.
Isn’t OT8 part of some super-confusion formula? Sure seems that way.
Good point.
Off topic: does anyone know whether the Purif ever results in kidney stones, esp. in a woman who is breastfeeding? I’m thinking dehydration, overdoses of vitamins, etc.
If you were to experience kidney stones, the program I/Cs would assure you you’re just restimulating something you’ll have to work through.
I was asking because someone I know, who is a Scn, has a kidney stone. I wondered if she got it from doing the purif.
O/T. Previously posted on a day old story.
I hope that I can post this a second time today. It goes to Joy Villa’s bona fides as a Christian.
“Christian” Scientologist Joy Villa has donated at least $1,000,000 to the Church of Scientology to reach the level of Gold Meritorious.
In her recent Scientology personal ad, Joy Villa says that she is Gold Meritorious in the International Association of Scientologists (IAS). See:

I am… Gold Meritorious with the IAS, and now a Vanguard Ideal Org Status for Africa!
* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *
Tony Ortega has reported that the IAS requires cumulative donations of at least $1,000,000 to reach the level of Gold Meritorious. See:

In 2006, the IAS published a list of these top status levels, and how much you had to have donated over your career in order to qualify…
Patron: $50,000
Patron with Honors: $100,000
Patron Meritorious: $250,000
Silver Meritorious: $500,000

Can’t help but wonder how much, if anything, she has donated to any Christian charities/churches. My best guess? A big fat ZERO.
You’re undoubtedly right, Miss Dutch.
If the joyful Villian is already “Gold Meritorious”,$1,000,000) WHY is she so demanding that her next 2D make more than $100,000? Did her last 2D go down-stat on her?
That’s exactly what I was wondering, Jere. Not that 100K is peanuts. I’m not saying that AT ALL. It is a very respectable annual income. And in many places in America one could live quite comfortably and well on it.
But heavens, for someone who can afford to donate a million for her Gold Meritorious status, snagging a 2D who brings in 100K couldn’t possibly be considered “upstat”.
Unless she’s now into pleasing herself and as such has factored in the possibility of having to support her new cult husband.
Maybe the Norwegian settled a lot of cash on her in their divorce and she’s flush, and now ready to marry someone she actually likes, who well might be cash poor and maxed out in his credit if he’s solidly in the cult.
Really 🤔 what is the size of Endowment Fund ( donations accumulated over the years )
Harvard University has $ 42 billion , where as Yale and Stanford has $ 30 billion Endowment.
Why spend 2 weeks in an on shore quarantine and then go to the Fleecewinds for a purif or other really low level indoctrination? This is really just another snob appeal ‘resort’.
By sucking up money from the lower level missions and mOrgs, the Fleecewinds violates the rules of most MLMs. How would you like to be a mission holder and hear that your ‘whale’ is doing their low level work at the ship?
The mission holder would be overjoyed to receive their whale’s commissions, of course.
Oh dear lordt. Your room has chairs in it!!! What luxury! But then again these are scientologists we’re talking about and theyre so used to living below their means maybe they do think chairs are a luxury.
LOL. Jennifer Charm. She is a celebrity camp follower. She knows most of the cult celebs. She runs a beauty salon. She is full of hyperbole. This is ass kissing at its best. And talk about standards. 2 stars for sure.
Is that her real name? Waste that money baby! What a vacation!
It kind of reminds me of the (charming and very funny–watch it if you haven’t) 90s movie “Blast From the Past,” when Brendan Fraser’s character, who has grown up in a nuclear fallout shelter and has just spent his first night in a modern hotel room, proudly informs Alicia Silverstone’s character that he’s been up all night “watching TV,” and then adds, in the tone of one who expects to say something very impressive to others, “IN COLOR.”
My family and I have cruised transatlantic a couple of times on the Queen Mary II (if you have kids who’d need their own seats on a plane and/or a lot of luggage, it’s actually cheaper than a flight–or it was at the time, anyway). We stay in the cheapest possible rooms–lower decks, inside, not even a porthole. Our room, which cost us about $2100 total for four people (and twelve suitcases) for a six-day voyage from England to New York, had all of those amenities listed and more, and that’s not including the free food (also in the form of actual choices for our meals, via room service or in one of several restaurants–maybe she’s been to a hotel before and maybe she hasn’t, but she definitely hasn’t ever been on a ship if she thinks this is unusual or special), the entertainment, and the fact that our voyage did not include Cunard pestering us to donate our life’s savings every hour on the hour or trying to brainwash us or feed us piles of nonsense about how when we disembarked we would be such powerful beings that we’d be able to cure cancer with our minds but even five minutes of casual contact with a person who doubted that would destroy us.
Notice that the salads are “*almost* more than [she] can eat.” Poor lady.
Depressing. Is this what she meant by ‘destimulating”?
Maybe she mistyped the name of a friend named Dee Stimulating who she was mentioning in passing?
Otherwise it supposedly means, “To bring out of a state of stimulation.” Either way, it’s a pain behind the eye causing word and sounds like something Box O’Bones would have created after an overdose of Kools.
Yup! SERIOUSLY depressing.
& just to be sure: By “Box O’Bones”, did you mean “Tub-o-lard”, the flounder?
Two weeks of quarantine! What a great idea! Another way for the fleecewinds to pull in more money.
Why not just a negative COVID test? I mean, that is all America requires before boarding a flight to our country.
Guess the cult isn’t confronting the planetary bullbait?
