To alex davidson,

I must state that for someone who comments here your underhandedness is obvious. Wow, seriously very obvious.

I feel in a way sorry that you have to use such tactics to get to Mike Rinder. I’m exactly sure what that says about you.

Of COURSE we all love you, FOOLproof. You’re the source of much hilarity, giving us even more reason to CELEBRATE having revolted against that revolting little cult when we finally did.
Hope you’re able to enjoy a bit of summer away from the keyboard. The real world can be a wondrous place full of joy and LIFE.

George, I don’t believe Hubbard ever understood “love”, only self-gratification in its many forms.

Alex,
ANY time spent in that bubble of irrationality was time poorly spent and we all wish we’d wised up sooner.
Still, it was what it was, and most of us have moved on to a better life….
Perhaps our tiny voices out here on the fringes of the InterWebZ will prevent some other unsuspecting souls from wasting their time like we did. I SURE don’t miss the mistreatment.

Cheers!

@ Rip – I like your vision and your ideas. Positive energy, making delicious, nutritious, refreshing and energizing hand-squeezed lemonade out of lemons.

Where do I sign? 🙂

yep.

I’m hoping that someday I won’t have to be utr.

I would love to have regular get-togethers, to help each other, to listen, and be a shoulder or to just share. To share and share and share and share… as long as it takes and is needed.

I’d like to form groups of friends, all over… to make a big family of all the Ex’s, to be united in our experiences and to have each other’s backs. (and be able to go to Howdy Com)

…
Being part of Scn, being staff and in the group, it was SUCH a dedication, such a purpose. I would like to channel all that goodness inwardly, for ourselves, to help each other heal and move on and then joyfully embrace all the good things and to give each other kudos and knowing smiles and such like. Move forward with all the nice things in life and share that too. To show and share all the things that are possible “after waking up”.

…….
for now…….

we have Mike.
and Tony….

and all the good ones who come here and say sweet things and offer support.

We have each other… but someday…. I’d like to be able to do it in person with my face known. <3

(Rinder has such a great thing going with the gang, I'm so glad for him. I think we all could use that, and we DESERVE IT.)

“…that he would leave that way. No hat turnover?”

Exactly. Long after his death, after having done a number of Scientology admin courses including the Data SeriesI too, marveled (to myself) about this.

LRH’s dropping of his body, we were told, was a CAUSITIVE action on his part. He PLANNED this, they said. His death did not put him at EFFECT. He was at CAUSE. His body was no longer “serving” him in his “research”.

Yet, with all this planning, NO HAT WRITE-UP? Not even an R-Factor from him to us? After all, wasn’t he moving off of a Condition of Power? Didn’t make any sense! It puzzled me. I’d wonder about it, from time to time

Today, I’m having a hearty laugh at myself.

What a pile of horseshit 🙂

Well, look, when I was a little kid in Sunday School I also believed, for a while, in talking snakes, a man being turned into a pillar of salt, a male and a female of living species in the world fitting into an ark, and other Biblical Magic. Of course, I was 6 years old…and when I fell for that LRH Off To Target Two whopper I was over 30…hmmm…oh, well )

We have to just laugh and forgive ourselves, and let the past go, and celebrate the beauty of today, Rip.
