Maybe you should go and join up. I don’t think anyone will stop you. I want to see what happens to you. I want to see at what point your body gives out.

Guess they finally got the hint that I don’t like them.

She is so pretty, the Vancouver girl, I want to clap and be brainwashed with some ultra fast creative group processing that makes you ill just before the event starts. Can I also fill out a survey that somehow only asks you how great the event was, the events are repetitive and boring? I don’t know how good it was, I never got a chance to enjoy myself between sitting and being forced to watch and the F’n fundraising. Or how we just never seem to have any money for anything despite pulling thousands every event from people.

I also like that these events are schedules at prime time, so to keep you away from other social events. That was my favourite part about the whole thing. I really like how you get to run yourself into the dirt with 100+ hour weeks, oh I also liked the overtime on top of that. I think healthy internal organs are really overrated; I think we have way to many of those.

With billions in the bank I don’t see any org going under. It feels that there will always be someone manning these churches. There is always someone who can be tricked for a few years. I think what Scientology prays on is something that is inherent in everyone at some point. Too much hope and wonder and not enough life experience to make the right choice. Last time I talked to my SO contact he had the same curiosity as to why there seems to be money for the basics like rent, etc.. He tried getting money out of me for food; that may no be included.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Betsy,

I could agree with you that the words could have been chosen more wisely.

You would have have to be a researcher to know a bit about Mr. Lewis’ personal affairs. If you were, you may know what sort of life Mr. Rinder has had due to his upbringing as a scientologist, as well as the loss of his family since leaving. Having been raised a Christian, I was taught to look at all the factors as to why someone is how they are.

Having been a scientologist, I learned that one must destroy anyone or anything that attacks scientology. Your post appears to do just that.

I think the tone of your post is very adventurous for someone that really believes in “I truly hope that some day God can help turn all the hate you now hold in your heart…”

You went too far to be believable. And you set up the trap so that no one could disagree.

I have read Mr. Rinder’s blog since I left the cult in 2016, and haven’t noticed that he has a tendency for a “snappy and clever retort” to comments.

The so called church has a history of saying things exactly as you are saying, in response to criticisms that are rightly leveled at it.

Unfortunately, your response goes too far in it’s purported goal to lead me to believe that it is NOT genuine.

The paragraphs about acolytes, well… Nice touch if you wanted to look like OSA.

I could be wrong, but forgive me if I am. I spent thirty years in, was divorced because of it, watched many suffer because they were unaware of what lengths the persons furthering the scam go to.

A true Christian could understand this.

Well stated.

Yes, Mike is an excellent example transformation in how he overcame his upbringing to becoming a positive force in speaking out against dangerous and toxic organizations. He shows courage and compassion.

Good points.

Betsy,
Who are you to make any criticism of Mr. Rinder. You sound like an OSA(Scientology Secret Service) troll. Mike’s blog and his excellent articles on Scientology and Scientologists has been a public service of great value in exposing the criminal organization and the criminals in it.
How well do you know Michael Lewis? I have had dealings with him and his deceased wife. His chronic hypocrisy and promotion of the lies of the cherch is deserving of ridicule. Anyone who supports the Scientology organization shows just how brainwashed and dangerous they are. Betsey or whoever you are, you display your ignorance about the dangerousness of the cult and those in it.

I thought Mike’s comment about Lewis was a very smart and pointed take on the guy’s total non confront about Scientology, to say nothing of the guy’s weird emotional state, a sort of glee/non confront of the sad end of his son and wife, both of whom didn’t receive the promised results of Scientology auditing and ethics “tech”.

Let’s talk instead about Michael Lewis supporting a cult that is responsible for kidnapping people.
