Hi indie8million,Thank you a very perceptive post.Yew I think you are right some part of me did work back ward : when I blew out scam meters and all the lights in the hgc when being audited at Asho.The thing was until I got this great auditor who was RPFed for kidney stones, when ever any one ran Dianetics on me I could not see anything ever.I was frustrated the auditors were tearing their hair out then all of a sudden I got a Graet C/S from Flag and this great auditor who had done Class 8 and was OT something,can’t recall ,so he said to me in session Ann what do you see? And I said nothing and then the light bulb came on and I said,I do not see anything with all this Dianetics stuff because I have nothing to see, And bang we were racing on like a rocket through XDN and onto Power.That was when he was RPFed for kidney stones and my C/S was pulled off my case and hello GO/ Intel.So backwards makes sense,Always Ann.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO. Where’s one of those happy heart icons when you need them? 😉 <3 <3

Hahahaha, Ann! Well, something moved you – maybe your internal GPS was working backwards. 😉

In all fairness, I think that my son had been looking on the Internet and saw the stuff about OT III. Even so, putting 2 and 2 together is pretty good.

Hi Indie8million,Thank you from my heart! XO Ann.

Hi indie8million, Thank you for your post .Your son is very smart,he knew exactly what the cover did to him.Deep down I probably knew right away,so what did I do about it?Joined the Sea Org- Laughter! Love,Ann.

I think he just couldn’t get to a gym so said, “I need to go a few more times around that pole before I’m done.” heh heh

OMNOM! I was going to say the same thing!!

The org will probably say, “We’re a non-profit and we’re not using the image for profit sooooo, thereforrrrrre, um, that rule doesn’t apply to us. Go away now or our security guy will take you out. Go away! Shoo!”

lol

Love and Light, Ann; Love and Light. Amen, I say. Amen

Yes, Windhorse. I know what you mean. On Facebook, someone posted the videos from the “Crusade” or “Battle of Portland, 1985” in some Scientology pages, making note that it was 30 years ago. Astounding. 30 years.

I was there, along with many of you probably, and Martin Padfield (I know because he’s there and identified as someone from England). 🙂

I have to tell you. I cried. I cried at seeing my dear friend Heber as his former, sharp self. Ken Hoden was there as President and is now the Chaplain at ASHO. I cried because we all believed in what we believed in so strongly that we were out there, fighting the good fight. And we won.

For what?

Like many times on the track when we didn’t know any better and bet on the wrong horse to win, we did it again. But the overt wasn’t ours. Shame on DM. Shame on making the Julie Christopherson case about “religious freedom”. I know the people who knew what was up.

After numerous attempts at handling her PTS situation with her mom, she had been refunded a total of $5,000 for services. Mom would handle and unhandle again. Nobody applied the correct tech to the situation and Julie ended up getting deprogrammed – never a pleasant experience for anybody – and introduced to Michael Flynn, who was trying to sue every Scientology org he could.

All this noise over $5,000.

I remember how much we all cared and loved our group and the others in it.

Someone once told me, “The mind is a perfect computing machine. It never gives a wrong answer. The only time it puts out a wrong answer is when it’s fed lies or incorrect data.” So the calculation ability is still perfect, but the answer comes out wrong.

We were fed a full 8-course meal of it, with all the trimmings.

(Mike or anybody – I would love to hear any inside info about what was going on with shorty at the time). I was told that someone was so mad at DM that she was going to sue him for a billion dollars but was convinced by Michael Flynn that she should back down from that. Wouldn’t that have been interesting?

The sad thing about this isn’t DM. He’s the part to be angry about. But, IMHO, the thing that’s sad are the people we still love who are left behind and won’t jump off the ride. Who can’t see the forest for the trees.

Well, I guess we all have to plant more seeds that will grow into a forest of doubt and then clarity. As you said, OSD, we’ll be there to catch them when they do.

Happy Anniversary, Battle of Portland. The party’s over.

Yup, OSD. “Wait, hey! They are leaving!! Get them to come back!! Promise them anything! Give them cash!! (no, wait. Not THAT.) Oh, I know. PROMISE THEM SOMETHING THEY REALLY WANT THAT THEY CAN NEVER GET!! (yeah, that ought to hold the little bastards).”

Sorta like Lonesome Rhodes in “A Face in the Crowd”. Actually, now that I think about it, I think that DM IS a modern version of Lonesome Rhodes. Sad, really. Serves him right.
