Health Update
Hi Christie and I wanted to provide a brief health update as so many people ask. Due to some recent symptoms my oncologist ordered a bronchoscopy and a biopsy of lung tissue last week. This saga began a year ago with a persistent cough and difficulty breathing which set in motion a chain of events that resulted in a thoracentesis (draining of fluid from lungs) which when tested showed cancerous cells. I then had a PET scan that showed the cancer to be in the esophagus, but also showing up in my right lung fluid (which automatically designated it Stage 4). I ended up being a … [Read more...]
Scientology Mother’s Day
One of the most galling things about scientology is their claim they are "pro-family" and consider relationships and communication the most fundamental things in life. Mother's Day slams home the cruelty of what scientology ACTUALLY practices when it comes to familial relations. For everyone out there who IS connected to their mother, please enjoy this day and make it special. You never really appreciate the value of family until it is no longer available to you. But in remembering and enjoying the good, let's not forget the horrors of disconnection enforced by scientology. … [Read more...]

A Billion Years — One Year On
Today marks the one year anniversary of the publication of A Billion Years. It has been quite a year. It began last September with a media blitz, some wonderful reviews, huge public support and scientology's desperate efforts to stop and then discredit the book and me. Things have continued apace all the way to now -- A Billion Years has been the number one bestselling book in the scientology category on Amazon every week since, with the exception of one week when Liz Gale's new book took that spot. I am happy to say that none of Hubbard's books even crack the top 5 in the … [Read more...]
