Hi Regraded Being, Thank you for your post to Beryl.I too believe each to their own, I just still can get emotional & very very sad when there is justification made as to physically & spiritually hurting anyone in or out of cos who dares to criticize or point out what is so very wrong.Agree totally that cos is a criminal org that scams people for obedience & $. I apologize to Beryl I do not blame her personally for her viewpoint mine is just different. More coffee this AM.Always Ann B.

Hi Beryl, all my snipes are directed at COS, I believe anyone who has been in has experienced some wins as well as deceptions. I won’t argue with anyone about the validity of the technology in as such that it creates wins or abilities. I do believe that the tech can be and is being used to control and enslave people rather than free them. There are people on this blog who’ve left the church and completely reject anything to do with scientology. Others left the organization but are still seeking something they saw while in and believe may really exist. To each his own in that regard.
Where I have observed uniform agreement is that the present Church of Scientology is a criminal organization that scams people with the intent to get their obedience and money.

Hi Lawrence, What a picture you posted amazing! What a change from ASHO SO days when the parking lot & front of the Org had to be spotless! Good question about cos really being there? Yes & no physically the ships buildings $ & bodies were,but the nightmare shifted & changed according to the application of the Tech.Always Ann B.

Hi again Idle Morgue,You were one smart Big Being! I would not touch that rust bucket either. Cabins can be locked from the outside too if necessary.Always Ann B.

Hi Delilah,Good to meet you.I loved this post spot on! Take Care Ann B.

Hi Regraded Being,I really liked your post.I love this blog because Mike lets us communicate & flow lots of viewpoints etc.He only steps in when he feels he should.This is my opinion only, I can’t agree with Beryl that if the indie field is small that is fine too as long as people feel they are not getting the shaft… For me Sci & SO were the sword & auditing is the shaft @ the end.My auditing destroyed my sense of my true spirit with all the sec checks & make wrongs etc. The Tech is the Tech whether an indie applies it or a Mission Org member or a public cos member or a SO member or OSA member.It is what it is! Just my two cents worth.Always Ann B.

Hi Idle Morgue,I think you have to go all the way down the Rabbitt Hole also,& what you posted is so so True!! Thank you Always Ann B.

Hi Pepper,Good Mon morning & thank you for your post.Since I am an oldie SOer I think a blogger who was in SO when David Miscavige took over could help us out with the fuel for his private yacht question.When the SO was born in 67 the cost of running ships & putting them to sea was different plus we were always playing cat & mouse with the FBI & Tax Man.Today David is so cozy with the IRS he only has to worry about how much cash he has on hand for his lifestyle & what country he will end up in if he decides to bail with all the $. That is not to say he does not possess a very cruel streak as Ron definitely did,& I feel David is capable of getting SO & cos members to do his bidding,but the times are different now than when I was in.Ron certainly got very very expensive & elaborate birthday toys sent to The Apollo by Asho D & F when he was on ship or wherever else he was @ the time,& I do not know if David has attractive young girls in hot pants catering to his every need or if he is more a lone wolf in that dept.I think it still must be very costly to keep The$ Winds going no matter where he gets the $ from.I am so happy you & yours got out,that is so wonderful a BIG WIN for you all.Always Ann B.
