They don’t call him “Dad”. They call him “Mike”. Another cult thing. The family is not real, it is a “posutlated” group. Thetans are thetans; none of us are truly related. I suspect this was a convenient way for LRH to excuse having been estranged from his own parents who disapproved of him heartily in the end.

Thanks Jim. “Handling” would be a breeze if it were only “MUs” about the honest intentions and actions of the Church of Scientology. The problem is that there can’t be any handlings now because CO$ is lying and defrauding and so forth, and, far from having MUs the people speaking out know and understand only too WELL. So there can’t be any “handlings” anymore because CO$’s hands are not only dirty but filthy. So the Church lies some more and forces Disconnection. Very sad.

That makes sense, emotionally, under the facade. I didn’t watch any video — I find it too upsetting. I just meant the still photos I’ve seen — the quality in her eyes, as if she’s possessed by something.

WhatAreYourCrimes/Razz,

Like some Arab fighters who put women and children in front of themselves? The COB Demented Midget is sooooo brave: NOT!

Aquamarine,

Thanks for that in-depth description of what does happen. You mentioned ‘handle or disconnect’ which reminded me of earlier days when the tech was widely trained and used. There were few disconnections back then because scientologists had the tech and data to handle and not get ‘PTS’. Lack of training currently means the cult only has disconnection as their tool to keep the deluded sheep purely deluded.

The Buddhists have it right. Each lifetime is more experience.

First, i watched her talk without the sound. Its something I do sometimes. Anyway, this is subjective, very subjective, but watching her, observing her expressions while not hearing her words, what came across to me was, in an adult female body, an angry girl of about 10, near tears. But that’s just me.

They’re all being used. The problem is that they’ve been steeped, many of them, from infancy into believing that Scientology is Man’s Only Hope, and that anything they do to protect or further the cult (read: David Miscavige) is the correct course of action, no matter how horrific, no matter who it hurts or destroys, even if its their own parents, siblings or children. The problem is that from Day One they have been taught that man is a spiritual being who picks up a different body each lifetime. Your father and mother are incidental to this lifetime. Ditto your children, any family, and loved ones. Incidental and disposable, “for the greatest good”.
THAT is what they’ve been learning since toddler-hood. David Miscavige did not all of a sudden rip the children from their parents’ arms because they, the parents, disagreed, defied. That may make for beautiful and moving poetry but that’s not how it happened. From Day One these kids have been trained up to one day turn on ANYONE who voices criticism of the cult. Anyone. No exceptions. The time to worry and weep
for them was way back when they were little, growing up in the cult bubble, being mentally filled up every day with the “data” they could and would have to apply in the event they encountered any disagreement in their area. “Handle or disconnect”. And LRH is ALWAYS right. Scientology is ALWAYS right. And David Miscavige IS Scientology. So anyone who criticizes or disagrees is ALWAYS wrong. This is what they’ve been learning, all their lives, these young ones, from the time they could walk. Devastating, but hardly surprising, that one day they have the opportunity to use this “data”, and do so.

The Buddhists believe in the soul inhabiting many bodies, lifetime after lifetime. No disconnection policy, though. I don’t see any reason why this concept can’t be believed without the cruelty and heartlessness of the Disconnection policy, like the Buddhists. Just saying.

Agreed, Matt. There’s no new low. Its the same low.

So Jeffery,

The minute a cult shill, including the demented midget, goes public with pictures of some celebrity or public official that the shill rubbed up against :: We instantly destroy the shill’s attempt at safe-pointing with proof and docs to that official that scientology will harm anyone they touch.

We can rinse and bleach as long as it takes.
