Comments on: The “Warmth and Friendliness” of David Miscavige https://www.mikerindersblog.org/the-warmth-and-friendliness-of-david-miscavige/ Something Can Be Done About It Sat, 27 Aug 2022 12:01:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Martin Padfield https://www.mikerindersblog.org/the-warmth-and-friendliness-of-david-miscavige/#comment-494128 Sat, 27 Aug 2022 12:01:24 +0000 https://www.mikerindersblog.org/?p=2616459#comment-494128 Looking forward to the book hugely Mike. About bloody time! On the Amazon page “Customers who viewed this item also viewed” a book about the Daleks comes up. Coincidence? (Dr Who fans will get this).

I only ever met Miscavige twice. First time I was serving behind the bar at Int and he asked for a scotch and some tortilla chips. When I hesitated because I didn’t know what they were he looked me straight in the eye and without any warmth or humour informed me I didn’t have a f***ing clue what I was doing. The second and – thankfully – last time was years later at St Hill and I reminded him of the earlier encounter. Again, no warmth or humanity, he told me I should be selling the SHSBC for a living as I was in sales. Well I think I’d be pretty skint if I took up that advice. Another time on the ship I saw him berating some poor Finance exec who had had the temerity to answer back to him. There was pure hatred in his eyes. When I finally learned the full truth of his abuse and violence in 2009 I knew it to be true. It all made sense.

North Korean supremo Kim Jong-Un frequently goes on “guidance tours” of candy factories, military bases, or whatever. He issues “suggestions” for how they can improve whatever it is that they do, and they grovel in thanks for his unmatched brilliant insights into their business. In other words, his personality cult does these things to convince the rubes that he’s the Smartest. Guy. Ever. Sound familiar?

There’s no real way of quantifying but I hope that you both take great comfort in knowing that you’ve rescued so many and how many hundreds OR THOUSANDS of people you’ve helped to avoid getting involved with Scientology to begin with.

Reminds me a bit of Amber Heard. She’s very popular at the moment, too.

“how to get Miscavige gone from his perch at the top of Scientology?”

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Miscavige is bringing himself down and the CoS along with him. And good riddance. Not worth salvaging. Only the people left inside should be our concern.

First impression, yes. He has a slick social veneer.

You actually know something, never in is a blessing. The same cannot be said for a Scientologist with any practical life application as to what they are doing or has any useful observations attached. They are trained to hate their own minds and are severely punished if they ever try to use them. That’s what command intention, ethics conditions, sec checks, PTS/SP & disconnection tech plus the dribble in green vols is for – to police the reader’s thoughts and actions. The biggest solution encapsulated in all the previous mentioned references has one thing in common – NO!
Of course executive C/Sing takes care of anything that slips through. Oh, last but certainly not least and is of course DM’s & OSA’s favorite – PC folder blackmail!

So I heard (about John Nelson) much later. Unfortunately I have never managed to catch up with John to find out! Talking about it reminded me that I got the phone call from Miscavige for John to tell him that he was now CO CMO Int. LOL.

Gawd, what a mess. So many good people have been hurt.

Looking forward to your book, Mike, glad you wrote it.
