Mike, You are a hero of mine. I’ve never had anything to do with scientology or cults, but happened across the Aftermath show on Netflix and found it deeply moving. I’ve followed your work ever since.
Your tireless activism against enormous forces – and the way you have conducted yourself throughout with dignity, humanity, fearlessness and freedom – has been a huge inspiration. I hope you know that your influence for good reaches far beyond the scientology world. Many current and future activists can look to you as a wonderful example as we fight our own causes in many different spheres.
A phrase from your recent videos keeps popping up in my mind – “If this just helps one person… then it’s been very well worth the time.” You’ve helped me, and that phase I will always try to keep in mind when my own fight sometimes gets discouraging.
Thank you for sharing your many gifts with us! Sending you love and prayers from my family to yours!
Mike, I am so Happy to see you with your loved ones. Please let Mat and Amy know they have been missed on youtube.
LOVE TO ALL OF THEM! ESPECIALLY U Mike! ๐๐๐๐๐
Happy Thanksgiving! Iโm a long time reader and have admired all you do for years. You really are an example of being such a kind, caring person who is helping (and has helped) so many people with your bravery, honesty and being willing to speak out and advocate. I listened to the your podcast all through the pandemic when things were so isolating and you really felt like a friendly voice week after week.
Sorry for rambling but wanted to say a heartfelt thanks to you and Christie and all your loved ones.
I wish you all the best as you continue to few with all the challenges ahead and thank you for being a shining light for so many of us.
Thank you for answer, I asked the q at the YT video as well in the comments there so I will copy your answer there!
Actually it was a q from the signature”Janedoe2″ at the Bunker so I have answered her as well!
