The demise of Scientology is inevitable.
I deeply respect those that are freeing themselves from this miasma of thought control and abuse.
As a former Jehovah’s Witness I am very familiar with the process of freeing yourself from a group that insinuates itself into every aspect of your life both personal and financial.
Best wishes to all survivors .

That letter would be gold for a late night comedian like Letterman. Perhaps he can invite Pouw to the show, or perhaps he can stage a “What’s My Line?” skit with a Pouw/Miscavige look alike. At any rate, either Pouw is so desperate to keep out of the hole she has given up all pretense of reality,, or she truly has lost it.

In reply to Bonnie List Kittelson. Great point! The response is pure natter! All generalities, no specifics! They might as well have issued a statement like this: "Paul Haggis is a funky horse."

Question? If Paul wasn’t active for 30 years (let’s say, if that’s true), why didn’t anyone notice and take care to make sure he was getting wins and gains? Why, because before he exploded in the last few years that he was involved, he was “just” a screenwriter with some misc credits (as far as CC was concerned) and was “never going to make it anyway” so why bother putting any additional beans into him? Why take any extra time and attention to make sure he was winning? He wasn’t anybody big.
This is why I always tell people to be nice to everyone in Hollywood (or anywhere). You never know what’s going to happen.
But this also reminds me of Michael Fairman. Apparently, he hadn’t gotten any auditing for almost a decade, even though he was in the films and flowing DM power through his talents, Good job, thanks a lot. But, when he got tired of not getting what he needed back out of it and went to an outside auditor, man, did they pay attention then. Whoosh! Straight to his house with a declare. I hope you don’t mind my telling your story out of turn, Michael. 🙂
CC has certain people in it who won’t give you the time of day if you’re not already big. As a matter of fact, one or two might actually tell you that you’ll never make it in your art, so you’re wasting your time so you need to come in the SP (oops, I meant SO) now. “Right now. No matter if you have roles and contracts, just come in now.” Disgusting that people who were trusted by Yvonne Jenszch to protect, care for and nurture the artists are betraying them.

Haha! I hate to laugh at DM’s sister’s misfortune for being born his twin and having to put up with his suppression all these years but it is what it is. Why doesn’t he spend some money to get her cleaned up and in a better place than managing drug addicts somewhere in Florida?
Yes, How about we clean out own closets before we go poking our noses into others’, little man?
If you had taken responsibility for your sis a long time ago when nobody was documenting it for posterity, you might not be looking at her mug shot in the morning paper these days. Yes, karma’s a bitch, DM, and that bitch is barking and snarling at your heels.

I hear you. It is sad that the Kool Aid drinkers are so stuck in delusion that they cannot see the contrary facts for themselves. Their orgs are empty, devoid of new public and the on-lines public becoming fewer and fewer. It’s a huge win for an org to sell a few books or get even one person onto a Purif, yet somehow Scientology is “expanding bigger and better than ever”. And they continue gazing in rapt admiration at this guy who is literally destroying the Church from within and they say “Oh he’s so great”.
Fortunately, while I know some of these enthralled Kool Aid drinkers myself, i also know that some within are waking up from the fog. They are seeing responses like what Dwarf Midget posted yesterday and they shake their heads and wonder what the hell are OSA and Dwarf Midget doing put out that kind of alienating, psychotic garbage. Not everyone inside is still fooled. Not by a long shot.

In reply to Bonnie List Kittelson. As for Paul Haggis having been inactive for 3 decades, didn't someone on here post that he was once on the cover of Celebrity? If correct, then that would have been - what? 30 years ago, when he was active?

In reply to Globetrotter.

Accusations speak loudly: “Mr. Haggis was an inactive Scientologist for more than 30 years”

Hm… I wonder… has the Church actively done Scientology in the last 30 years? Have church staff/officials received Scientology in the last 30 years?
