@Mat Pesch: I think you have the title of your memoir: “P.S. Where is Shelly?”

As @Chuck offered, you could compile each of your Mat blog posts from here to make for an excellent start to a book.

We know your wife Amy is an excellent communicator and compiler of stories and memories, and she is an author, so you direct access to a ready, wonderful ally.

That said, we know in this blog community that it does take time and energy to produce something like this. Is Dan Koon available who helped Ron Miscavige, Sr. produce his book “Ruthless”?

Bottom line: Know that you are loved and any time you weigh in to the Mike Ringer blog is so highly welcome and we trust you.

Ya and there is Scientology sitting on $3 billion dollars and the dedicated Sea Org staff have holes in their shoes and clothes and can’t afford things like shampoo, the use of a laundry machine or birth control. Luckily the org is so willing and helpful to drive the woman to free abortion clinics. Then there Is Miscavige that has built up million of dollars of personal wealth, his sweaters are hand made, his shoes are made just for him by the same guy that makes shoes for the Royal Family. He also has the finest foods and liquor from around the world flown in for his private staff to prepare for him. It’s funny how these extreme cults tend to follow the same basic pattern. P.S. Where is Shelly?

So true.

I agree! But what would be even better is if the damn FBI, IRS or Homeland Security would effing listen to you and take action against one of the most vile groups on this planet. For such a small group, it has done an incredible amount of damage, harm or destruction to its own members.

I could just cry for the rest of my life.

The church of scientology is the worst example about what’s good about the human condition or the best example of what’s the worst about the human condition. It’s on the bottom rung of humanity.

Being a scientologist can create highly stressful situations that cause one to do criminal acts. At the height of the Basics revolution, an extremely sleep-deprived SO member took money off my credit card, without me knowing, in order to meet a quota and be able to go sleep – a few hours. There are many stories of “creative” ways SO members met quotas that were criminal acts.

An intelligent and kind group would have gotten to the bottom of situations like this and corrected them, but not the church of scientology. It has its members do such things and then ruins their lives further with an SP declare. And continues to do the same thing until it makes headlines and maybe – just maybe – then it might change its tactics. But this church always does (abusive and/or criminal acts) what it can get away with for as long as possible.

It doesn’t excuse their behavior or minimize my frustration over they lack of will to at a minimum, QUIT, but I feel sorry for Sea Org Members. They started out with such lofty, GOOD intentions.

So true. It’s interesting that a common nightmare amongst veteran Sea Org members that left is not being able to find uniform parts to show up for work with. Another is fighting through the pressure of routing out or escaping from the Sea Org.

Thank you. Ya I just need to take the time. We’ll see.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It never meant to work.
It’s all about mental conditioning, that’s why you were told aforehead:

* University scholars, Psychiatrist, psychologists, lawyers, Judges, FBI , journalists are the worst enemy , so do not listen and stay away from them.

** if it didn’t work , it’s because of your sin against them.

Only those who have psychological and mental issues and living in fear and guilt can move towards next stage; Stockholm syndrome , the ultimate objective .

It’s all due to the golden era of cold War which open up the Cult industry in USA , protected under the Freedom of Expression covered under the first amendment.

Wait for that time when Uncle Sam releases White Paper on the Cult industry of past century.
